re: The leftie bible, "Rules for Radicals," have you ever read the dedication?

The tactics are dirty. They drive identity politics and the shouting down of opposing views without consideration because of who is pushing them.

Rooster just doesn't want to admit politicians of every stripe in every country use these tactics, not just leftists. Leftists are just the ones more connected to Saul and his book. The tactics inside though are used by all to try and control the narrative.

Conservative have made liberal a dirty word. Liberals have turned bigot into an attack word on the right. They all play the same game and to the same ends.
