That's TDS.

It's a shill thing. ;-)

JC...

Left-leaners don't call themselves leftists.

The Israelis are pretty much the only ones who use this term.

See the intro title.

I do. I came from the solid old-left, with a priority on the environment and compassion, collectively or otherwise. I've since come close to center and even right on many issues, but above all I've become a solid voluntarist, where I was a voluntarist in theory before-ish. I lean way down and a little left, like my dick. It's easy for noobies to understand "left-leaning", meaning close to center yet not extreme.

What intro title?

He's a fake lefty

Having limited awareness doesn't make one fake. Proof?

If asked, his could you prove someone was racist.

Could you prove it?

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

If there was an abundance of evidence worth calling zir/zit a racist.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Is that proof?

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I didn't say it was. Proof and/or evidence doesn't prove anything alone. But going on your say-so alone isn't either. Examples help. I always appreciate it when you can clarify for me.

I'm also going to step back from discussing, debating, correcting, appending, etc. I need to do some CSS stuff and prepare for the WikiSpooks 10th anniversary. Then I'll help d3rr with his mobile CSS.

Then I have to finish my damn story before September. After that I'll be sharing it and getting back into stuff - unless this crisis actually demands my full attention.

This crisis kinda fucks with my cautionary tale. Woke folks will get it. The brainwashed seem to be more entrenched than ever. Discouraging. I guess they never would have gotten it anyway. Like religious dogma in authority.
