Previously I spent most of the night trapped in Trilema, because I remembered clearly you defined socialism and pantsuitism somewhere else, flippantly, and I could have bet you forgot all about it, and I thought I'll find something in there. It took a while to find it, but in the end it was found, the place I was thinking of: <blockquote>PPS. Socialism is the system everyone knows doesn't work and everyone knows nobody can fix. That's the entire thing, there's no other substance there besides these simple criteria. It's common for thinkers to fall into the constructive fallacy of presuming something exists just because it has a name (and certanly pantsuitism is all about naming things in the hope this'll make things) -- nevertheless, socialism is merely the ideology of the stupid, it has no positive form, there's absolutely nothing there. Entirely "consists" of the smoke of enumerated beliefs -- that nothing works, and that nothing can be fixed. That's all the "consisting", that's all it is.</blockquote> Infuriating as this may be, there's no actual contradiction in here, is there. You don't say, you OH SO FUCKING CAREFULLY DO <b>NOT</b> SAY "Entirely "consists" of the enumerated beiefs". You say "of THE SMOKE of enumerated beliefs". It's... just... Trilema could eat my entire life and not even blink. It's about to daybreak, and I give up.
