BTW, I speak mostly of what I myself have experienced. As much as it may seem like it sometimes, I don't look down on npc leftists. I too was once an npc leftist. It's hard not to be if you go through the American education system (in the past 30 years) and you are intellectually sensitive enough.
Veteran posters can attest. I haunted these forums in the mid to late 00s as a teenager and one nickname, well-deserved, given to me was that of "whiteguilt567". I hated Republicans and was so sure of the intellectual inferiority of conservatives. Because, duh, professors are smart and liberal amd rednecks are dumb and conservative. How could everyone not see it?
How sure of myself I was! How I knew I was on the side of good and truth. In this secular age, our ideology becomes our religion. It was for me! Blue the holy color of justice!
But oh, once I started thinking for myself, truly, and not just in our popular understanding of that act - did I realize how wrong I was! And I'm still not sure I'm right. But that lack of certainty is what puts me in opposition to the modern left. People without the creative capacity or humility to imagine that there's even a 1% chance that their worldview is founded on lies...
Projection just ooooozing off this one.
I would not call it projecting.
He is really talking about himself for whatever it is worth.
UofA literally doesn't even understand what the word projection means.
To be honest, it's unfair of me to label Tang and Jetson as NPC's when there is an honest to God NPC like UofA here, mouthing all the accepted orthodoxies without even understanding them, without a single critical thought in his (they/them's ?) head.
Tang and Jetson, you should ponder what it means to have intellectual nonentities like UofA on your side! Perhaps, this will be the spur for real critical independence for you both!
Onwards, friends.
