On Lying and Condescension

Condescending?

It’s a strange political world we live in, where pointing out, however politely, that someone is lying makes you uppity and condescending. And where people write entire pieces complaining about how “their side” is called liars without in any way defending themselves from the charge. And where a once serious newspaper publishes all of this.

When someone is feeding you bullshit and telling you it is chocolate cake, why the fuck can't you say "Hey, that isn't cake, that is bullshit". Oh, right. I forgot. That wouldn't be civil. Fuck 'em.
