Facebook status: I notice one thing about my Conservative friends: you guys have never put forward ONE single rational argument to support your little tinpot dictator. All you do is laugh mindlessly at other people's ideas. Your political zombieism and reflexive deprecation of the outgroup is exactly what makes your party proto-fascist and our country the laughing stock of actual democracies. So next time you got nothing to say, don't feel obliged to say it to me - it makes me think less of you and that makes me sad.
Con 1: Wow you would make an excellent dictator.
Con 2: Hard to believe you want to be on council. You will assume everyone that thinks differently than you is an idiot.
Awesome!!!!
Here I thought I was just complaining about the way Cons laugh at you and figure that's a valid counter-argument, but it turns out my theory has predictive value! These comments are both mindless and reflexively deprecative, a heady mixture of red herring and ad hominem that does not in any way address my statement, and yet they apparently feel they've achieved some kind of superlative high ground. Hmmmmmm... That certainly explains why they voted Conservative.
For anyone else who would like to have an opinion but can't read big words, I'll translate my original status: it says "either back your opinion or don't share it with me."
Cons. It's not a coincidence we call them "Cons."
