    Is this you admitting you were wrong?

    Is that why you’ve resorted to pretending not to know what a metaphor is? The problem with people acting the fool, is that they look like fools. That’s fine if they’re being silly, not if they want people to take their position seriously.

    Interesting you understood what the metaphor was up until now. Or were you pretending to understand up until now? Given you have only just learned you didn’t understand, would you like to read through the thread again and try listen to what was said? Perhaps you can use GPT to explain it to you.

        The problem with playing the fool. Anyone can read me saying:

        Here’s my claim: when Liberals are given the choice between giving power to the left or giving power to facists[sic], or even shooting fascists. They choose to give power to the fascists. For evidence I presented an example from recent history.

        And

        When pushed you not only told me why they gave the gun to the Fascists [the election], but that they should give the gun to the Fascists. [it would be the end of democracy if they didn’t, fascists are famously democratic]

        The rest is distraction from those two key points, that you not only do not disagree with the meme [hard sentence to parse, I could have communicated it better, but ChatGPT got it though and that’s an acceptable floor to me] but embody it. The first step to solving a problem is identifying it.

        My point was clear and stated many times. You could have read that if you wanted.

        I have no idea. Was there a point being argued?

        For once something we agree on. Can we just leave it at that? A positive note of agreement between us? For my own part, I’m happily quoting this nonsense at the start of the thread. Here’s the culmination of your position:

        What’s a metaphor

        And

        I have no idea. Was there a point being argued?
