I'd explain it again but then I would just be repeating myself and you still wouldn't get it. Your quote was contemptuous of the ruling class. It punctuates how the majority tread underfoot the rights of the minority, kinda like how nudity laws are written by the prudish majority because nudity makes them uncomfortable. And here I go explaining it again. Next time choose a quote more flattering to your statist philosophy.Why would I have posted it if I didn't?"Do you get the irony in that quote?" #230
I'd say "satirical"."It was meant to be sarcastic"
Perhaps it does so to your misperception of my intended point."and it militates against your argument because" #230
My intended point is:
is not, in the extreme, absolutely correct. That is my argument. In what way is it militated against?"equality is never negative." #224
I consider it valid as a general rule.
That doesn't mean there aren't exceptions.
And the word "never" in the assertion is a superlative. How can there be exceptions to a superlative?
