Well Internet Guy, you sure are talented at maximizing the potential of the English language - I mean, your use of adjectives, descriptors, modifiers, qualifiers, and adjunct accessory attributive adnounals is impressive, and we didn't even get to your adverbs. Well done.
And your hyphenated phrases, well, A+ for clever-originalism, imaginative-ingenuity, and mind-altering-cobweb-sweepingness. But (and there's always a "but" - that's what creates drama, debate, discussion, discourse, controversy, contention, truth-seeking and radical-right-wrong-left-uncenteredly exchange of ideas) I've got a nit to pick.
This is definitely a left-tilted tirade, and rightfully and evidentiary-wise ably supported, BUT, from my perspective (living out here on pure-independent-centered Island of Perfect Clarity) it seems that the old Teeter-Totter-of-Evilness is tilted far more to the right. I mean, to me, the "left" may be all you describe, but the "right" is, well - violently and dangerously evil. EVIL! There, I've said it.
So, Internet Guy, while I applaud your erudition, and your gleeful willingness to poke holes in all the pretentious BS of the "left", lets swing our verbal barrage over to the "right" and blow that Nazi-Fascist-Book-Burning-Soul-Destroying-Baby-Eating Radical Right out of the water. And off the earth. And straight to Hell.
So there you went and got me all linguistically steamed up on a quiet Wednesday morning and now I need to take my heart pills, but I just wanted to add a little Balance-and-Centeredness - yes, the "left" is full of Self-Righteous BS (and you're right to call them out) but the "right" is Way Way Way more dangerous to Democracy in general and to my own mental health in particular.

And that's all I've got to say about that.
Don't worry, my criticism of the right is coming out next. Thanks for reading!
