They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."
Replace anti-Semite with anti-TMT and it is still relevant. There is a certain giddiness about telling everyone else to go shove it. Making sense is not the objective at least for some. NOT making sense and getting away with it is its own reward.
that quote and your sense of the motivation of the anti-tmt crowd discounts 1 simple FACT and is there fore rendered missionary hog wash ...relatives, friends, neighbors of the anti-tmt crowd have Died waiting on a list to be chosen for land and assistance from quasi government agencies, OHA, DHHL, to build a home. This is just 1 reason among many which fuel this event. The entire infrastructure of these 2 agencies and the agencies relationship with the State may be in for a big time dnc.
