The Sage Garden

Obviously.

He's absolutely despicable, but there is obviously no better alternative.

Let's focus on finding further dimensions in sagery:

I think Hifly deserves more entries here. Especially the way he tries to make being anti-gay come across as some sort of "intellectual" stance that non-anti-gay people are just too stupid and backward and uncultured to understand.

A good post by BRTD, hifly is definitely expanding the definition.

The last line in particular:

Code:

20:14	Snowstalker	tnf, i know i come off as elitist/determined to prove my "superiority"
20:14	Snowstalker	but i'm sure you realize that it's those sorts who give the capitalist oppressors their legitimacy
20:15	Snowstalker	the attitudes of the modern proletariat range from complacence to outright sycophanty

Snowstalker is much wiser than the savages in foreign lands and can thus make pronouncements on their fate.

The important thing I got out of this thread is that's Snowstalker's apparently entered some kind of bizarre right-wing Israel-supporting phase.

There's plenty to dislike about Israel (Netanyahu's an unambiguous dick, the obviously illegal West Bank settlements, the probably disproportionate response to attacks), but unlike many of my fellow leftists I see absolutely no reason why the Palestinians are more deserving of sympathy; it's not like it would be a liberal democracy that tolerates gays like Israel is if/when the occupation ends. Peace will only come from rejecting the ultrareligious, bloodthirsty reactionaries on both sides, Hamas included.

No, the point is not to use this thread to burnish your moderate hero credentials.
