re: #261 itellu3times
Well, I’d say it’s pointless, but my favorite lunch buddy is a leftard of the first water. Sensible guy for the most part, until he gets a chance to start spouting politics. A switch flips, and he just starts seething and frothing. Not unlike our boy Noam. I try to point out to him when he leaves the pavement, but it’s a tough battle.
He’s never heard of Chomsky, but he ought to.
itellu3times -
I understand your friend well - I used to BE him. If I can shed some light, I will make some observations.
1. Bet friend is verrry well educated.
2. Bet friend either is or considers themselves Poorly Paid - especially considering the prestige of their Last Degree.
If I am correct, the rest follows naturally.
