Buddy if you can sum up your entire political philosophy as disdain for outgroups I don’t think you’ve quite achieved the liberation from the karmic wheel of suffering that is partisan politics that you wrote so many words about

it was a joke, didn't think I'd have to explain but the key difference is I'm open to being convinced this view is wrong

You wrote three thousand words about how everyone that you know has wrong opinions and you have right nuanced opinions without actually sharing any of those right nuanced opinions. The sole topic of the essay is criticism of outgroups, it is the only thing that you wrote about

I wrote about a lack of desire to find truths, not getting opinions en-masse from groups, and a method to find them

very different
