What to say? I'm in a surly mood today. What do you say to a person that immediately defines who you are and what you think into a nice little package? Liberal! Conservative! Democrat! Republican! I can't tell you how many times in debates I have run up against people that start declaring that they know exactly who I am and what I think, usually based on some sort of outrageous caricature. I'm a Green, hell bent on destroying the Democratic party, I'm a Democrat hell bent on turning the US into a communist state. I'm a Liberal that wants to outlaw people to make more room for trees and furry animals. Most recently I am a Political Liberal that wants everybody to drive itsy bitsy cars, ride the metro and eat vegan. I always think the "Evil Corporations" are out to get us, and I think that people are too dumb to think for themselves. It seems a heavy piece of irony that the very same person that accuses me of being a mindless sheep then goes on to tell me what I think. Besides recognizing the obvious memes that have been floating around for ages I'm not sure what to make of this. I know one thing for sure, it puts me off of party politics, when people will not allow themselves to criticize a member of their own party (tribe) even when situations warrant it. | |
