Default Re: My \"Political Philosophy\"

[ QUOTE ]

Sure, democracy is flawed esp whe the 'lead, follow or get out the way' principle seems to be geared towards getting out the way for most people. But then again, I have never claimed it wasn't flawed so I fail to see how it relates to the quote you made of me.

It means that your latest argument is pure projection. You blaim AC for being a one-step perfect solution for millions and millions of people; then I show you how statism is exactly that (and this 'solution' is terrible ofcourse).

This reveals your hypocrisy. Don't use arguments against a non-system (AC), when the argument applies precisely against the thing you are supporting.

The reason for using projection type arguments is to get the focus off the thing you are supporting but to put people on the defensive, whereas it should be you showing the reasons for support of states. But you can't do that so you attack others. But that's the funny thing about projection: the projective arguments that you use are exactly those that you feel are powerful. And the arguments that you feel are powerful are the ones that are powerful *against you*. So we only need to reflect your arguments against your own beliefs to deal with you.


Ofcourse the point where we get some real traction is where you realize what you are doing and take pause and introspect if you actually do have any logical support for your beliefs.
