"Equality is here presumed as a precondition of making and changing the world. But equality only exists to the extent that people do, in fact, make and change the world on equal terms. Although some might say that this is a performative contradiction, it is rather a logic of the performative without which there can be no politics. To be a participant in politics, to become part of concerted and collective action, one need not only make the claim for equality, but one needs to act and petition within the terms of equality. The “I” is thus at once a “we”, without being fused into an impossible unity. To be a political actor is a function, a feature of acting on terms of equality with other humans. Equality is a condition and character of political action itself at the same time that it is its goal."

I used to interchange all of my highminded leftist rhetoric when drafting collegiate essays from "I"s to "we"s just to secure an A

Can't read because stupid pay wall, but is it a Leftist disagreeing with Obama?

I hope so. I figured they would.

I got nervous when he said that, because he's 100% correct.

I want the Left to eat themselves until there's nothing left. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It’s sad that there are people out there who think the other side is literally the enemy. The differences are minimal but it’s easy to get low-IQ people whipped into a frenzy. Read a book.

People with no talents and skilled interests attempt to minimize difference and insist we're the same. We're not the same, bud. Cheers.

What do you do when people call you "enemy", "traitor", "racist" and they honestly don't believe you deserve to live, let alone have a different opinion?

They won't listen to reason, they won't accept nuance. They're religious zealots.

What do you do?

Do you lay down and take it?

To them, when we say "We are not your enemy" that is evidence of us being their enemy.

They live in Clown World™.
