They're hypothetical non-tankie communist is Bernie Sanders

"No investigation, no right to speak" are words I take very seriously as a Tankie who loves the ontologically evil Mao. I hage no fucking patience for people who spout bullshit on important issues, like how the world should work om a fundamental basis. If you don't care enough to have some rigor and discipline then be fucking humble about it. Not all voices are equal cause a lot of voices are talking out their asses. I despise how unqualified and unsubstantiated rhetoric just slides. There's a lot of shit I know next to nothing about, i'm not gonna argue with someone who clesrly knows what they're talking about and I wouldn't hold onto any pre conceived conceptions with any tenacity either..if you dont wanna learn stuff. Dont express opinions on the topic.

I had to go to a funeral recently and I forget ehat brought it on, but my dad was about to repeat his thing about 'modern art' meaning non representational art (we're talking paintings here). Heard it a million times and im pretty sure its not even a real thing, where he went to an art museum (this is why I think its a bs story that over the years became his memory) amd apparently amongst all the good art of men on horses or boats or whatever, there was a piece lit up and specially displayed of a single line going across the top of the frame and a single line going down the left side and I guess he's still upset. I have pointed out before that it's the only piece he remembers from this supposed exhibit and it clearly has had a long lasting effect because he brings it up often. He thinks artistic ability is a genetic trait and not a skill you learn, my family is amazed I can draw and play music cause non of them can. They dont get that most people dont start out good at this stuff, so he would even admit he doesnt know art well. Anyway, I cut him off and pointed out thst Modern Art isn't weird at all and it's shit like Van Gough cause the modern was a long ass time ago. And went on to explain art history from the turn of the century to his supposed painting of lines and how the person who made the piece would most likely be delighted that he's been mad about it for like 50 years. So many people think their tiny little bit of osmotic trivia on a topic means their opinion means a fucking thing. Being that arrogant all the time must be tiring.

Yep, that's fair too! I tried to broaden it beyond dedicated socialists because even liberals that oppose imperialism get hit with the label, but it's even more nebulous than that.
