and also China invaded Vietnam after the US did. Everyone is a piece of shit.


Which was my point.


Why are you comparing universities to states?


I am?


yes, you are.


I don’t think that I am. My flagged reply was to a comment about the difference between the “liberal” and the “authoritarian” mindset. Some university has not invaded any country. In fact it hasn’t even done anything wrong—it has just condemned political persecution, which is just admirable if anything.

Could a reply to some statement like “the X mindset” be about ideologies in general and not directly about what we just read in the linked article? Several replies from the top of the thread? No. Surely not.


well, at least it seems like you understand why people flagged your comment in the first place. Maybe in the future don't bring up unnecessary generalizations that muddy the discussion?


Yes sir, I have learned my lesson.

Not really haha. I have no problem replying to a generalization—and “the liberal and authorian mindset” are definitely generalizations!

People flagged my comment because they are attached to the “liberal mindset”. That much is obvious.
