What's with federated liberals and their formulaic ways of talking? (hexbear.net)

I'd have assumed, even as insufferable liberals, that they'd be diverse enough to at least argue with some variety from one federated liberal to another, but so far not seeing much of that.

It's weird shit too, like the preoccupation with passive-aggressively saying "kindly" while insulting people too left for them. I've seen it from three different federated liberals today, alone. Is it some kind of "BioShock had such le epic quotable lines and the blue curtains were awesome, dae 'would you kindly'" thing?

but when we talked about China or foreign policy every single argument he made I had heard before and had counters to.

How did he respond?

It started with talking about China not respecting IP laws and every time I countered what he said, he switched to a different "China bad" bullet point.
