It's because you carefully never share your position, because you just want to go on the offensive


I had a long winded response i started typing, but for now i’m going to hit it with a sort of TLDR to answer your questions.

 

I’m interested in ideas, and debating the strength of ideas. I don’t subscribe to any ideologies whole heartedly. I believe adopting a political ideology front to back is just silly, and i don’t see the need nor do i find it beneficial. In fact, i think it’s detrimental. They all have their errors and merits, and i don’t see the need to just accept those errors because it leaves me outside of a box. 


If i take one of those cute little online tests, it generally tell me i’m a Libertarian-Socialist. Gun to my head, from what i’ve read through the years, Democratic-Confederalism, Communalism, Libertarian-Municipalism is roughly where i found ideas i agree with the most.

If you're going to use economic left/anti private property rights rhetoric when you quote my posts, and attempt to discredit a position I've taken, I think it's only fair you have to defend the logic of the position/rhetoric you're taking.

 

The strength of my position is it's simplicity, and logical consistency. There aren't many emotionally charged rhetorical slogans I can respond to yours with. So for me to defend my position, I need to be able to point out the logical inconsistency with a position you've taken, regardless if you believe in the rhetoric you're using whole heartedly, or not.

I state my opinions every time we’ve had these conversations, you just don’t seem to like them because you can’t attack a checked ideological box.
 

Like i said, i’m tired of being told what i am, despite what i say.

 

Think what you want man.
