Toaster strudel alliance takes on drugs, atheists and liberalism

[Angrboda]

I'm reminded of that scene in the movie "Airplane" where the radar operator is tracking the height of the incoming plane, and he says,"they're at 600 feet, no, 500 feet, no 800 — this guy's all over the place. What an asshole!"

First, the obvious, jstrodel doesn't know a damn thing about Marxism. His notions of Marxism are as misinformed as his views about atheism. And once again, we see the patented "strudelization" of stringing a bunch of things that have some sort of relationship or association with each other together, and then claiming that the first and the last in the chain are identical in some respect.

Further, he argues that a radical is someone who exists outside the established political system. Then in the next paragraph, he redefines it as being outside the political mainstream. These aren't even remotely equivalent, and thus form an equivocation. If he means the former, atheists aren't demonstrably composed primarily of radicals. If he means the latter, he's not only wrong in his usage, but his claim that such people are dangerous falls apart. (In addition to again failing to describe the atheist population. Those that fall outside the political mainstream may include atheists, but the bulk of them are not going to be atheists, not by a long shot. Nor are the bulk of atheists likely to fall outside the political mainstream, unless you define the mainstream as some form of conservatism.)

He's got me on ignore, so he'll never see this, but I suppose that's just as well. I'm of the opinion that this person is too incompetent and irrational for attempts at persuasion to bear any fruit. Though he does make an arguably useful chew toy.
