The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1,

Even more illuminating, is FoolishPhillipsHead's apparent fear of actually being able to prevail in a debate/discussion/argument/exchange of opinions and ideas with the so-called "fascists."

And not even to "prevail," that's not exactly the right word.

He is so terrified that his perceptions and delusions and versions of reality are such fragile things, that he cannot risk any challenge to them.

He is so terrified that the warped mirror that he sees the world in will shatter if he listens to the wrong person stating the wrong words or ideas or opinions or speculations, just from hearing those words, that he wants to isolate OTHERS, not just himself, from those evil awful things--the words that scare him so much.

Only a true cultist tries to forbid OTHERS in his cult from interactions with people who see things differently.

People like Foolish PHillip are dangerous and totalitarian, and ironically, it is Phillip himself who is playing the role of "fascist."
