    You can’t just go around calling yourself or others Scotsman when you’re actually from Antarctica and have never set foot in Scotland but like to put on an accent.

      The Nazis had socialist in their name to sucker socialists into being useful idiots for them.

      You’d think socialists would learn from that. Socialists aren’t immune from getting suckered into a fascist movement. But unfortunately many “socialists” see a red flag with some yellow symbols on it and are all “sign me up!”

      In the end all ideology is just a scam to convince people to go along with a group without thinking too hard about it. Political thought for the intellectually lazy.

      Maybe we should think about each issue individually? That’s hard and I won’t have a political “home”! I’ll just go along with everything the whateverists say even if it doesn’t make sense. Yay I’m in a group!
