    ohoho au contraire my dear pal, for you see, you have stumbled upon my rhetorical trap! heheehhe, you see by disagreeing with me on this point, you have proven my point that this is not an echo chamber spontaneusly grows a fancy and somehow already waxed moustache which I then begin to twirl you have been duped by… The Rhetoritician! Eeeeheheheheeheehe

    The Rhetoritician would with zero irony make a great character for a post-dirtbag left pod and/or stage production. Especially if every once in a while Plato (was Plato the guy who hated rhetoric?) Would swing in on a rope and start a wrestling match.

      The main thing I know about Plato is that he would write his master to say “Oh I’m so humble, I don’t know anything!” while clearly not actually believing it and then put in other characters that would say shit like “Wow Socrates you are super humble and also smart and correct!”

      This is a massive compliment. Genuinely thank you, this made me happy.
