There it is: A position completely untethered from empirical evidence, as ridiculous analytically as it is dangerous politically, propagated by anti-liberal leftwing intellectuals who are solely animated by their disdain for “the Libs” and have abandoned any regard for accuracy.
Everything is just an abstraction to them. True poaster's madness, it is all just hypotheticals to win arguments online. It's also why so many "dirtbag left" types easily switch to conservative bullshit. Top priority: dunking on people they don't like.
