    Nah, you just weren't able to comprehend it, either because you couldn't no matter what you did or because you refused to try.

    I do find that lemmy.ml tankies tend to refuse to think. They're intelligent when they bother, including when they're not busy propagandizing themselves or others.

    Even if the person "wasn't able to comprehend" your analogy made from your supreme intellect, that means it failed as an analogy. The point of the analogy is to put an argument into a more understandable perspective. If it doesn't do that, it is, by the nature of it's purpose, a bad analogy.

    A significant exaggeration to malign me as arrogant/elitist. It's like you ignored the entire last sentence of my comment. Classic tankie BS.

    Enjoy the block.
