no one is less of a citizen than anyone else

This is not true - a citizen by birth can become the president, a naturalized citizen cannot.

While true, I believe op was talking about with respect to the protections afforded by the law.

Wouldn't it be horrible if Europe defended itself without help from the United States?

I remember reading somewhere that the folks who worked for the companies that Facebook outsources its moderation work to suffer from serious psychological problems.

back when orkut was a thing, google did this one weekend with internal employees. some co-workers participated; unsurprisingly they all said it was _very_ disturbing.

Stop. Own your approach. Good grief man, you act like your tactic is some sort of secret strategy, but it is obvious -- so why even try to deny it.

<< reply is weirdly bombastic and generally incoherent.

Bombast should not prevent you from being able to form an argument.

Incoherence would, but then it would make sense to point out something specific hang on. Otherwise, we are just putting random words together... you know.. like llm?

it's not a defense because despite your efforts to antagonize, I don't need to defend myself.

i'm over our little interaction. cheers.

Ahh, the llm defense.. I genuinely expected a little more. Shame.

it's not a "defense". i'm saying your reply is weirdly bombastic and generally incoherent.

I go where the argument takes me. Is it my fault that OP did not actually check the background of the person they were defending on ( apparently based on this fact alone ) purely political grounds? No, how dare I actually read the article and, the horror, look up the person at the center of attention. After all, I am not supposed to do that. Facts are evil. My eyes will deceive me as it is likely Russian propaganda.

What I am supposed to do is to blindly go all-in for defense/attack depending on whether it is my team or not my team? Sorry, I don't swing that way. I smack people as needed depending on how easily their argument could be defeated.. here it took a google search so I was being generous with a smack on the hand whack.

<< I suspect the ordering of the list on the site matters. so of the prominent, public things that Ben-Ghiat self-identifies as, commentator is the _least_ important.

How dare you assume the order of importance in which Ruth views herself? How dare you even assume there is an order? What if I suspect she is the believer in chaos and the order semi-randomly selected each day and rotated backwards for maximum confusion. Just as plausible as your half-baked explanation, but at least mine has the value of being entertaining.

In all seriousness, did you even THINK of asking her? Such a man thing to do.. explaining what SHE meant.

this reads like an LLM generated argument. it's totally incoherent and has almost nothing to do with what's being discussed.

cheers, friend.

Everyone will agree that Trump makes silly comments! He made the same comments in 2016 and never even attempted to lock up anyone for the whole four years.

The Democrats always say the right things, but proceeded to try to lock up Trump for the entire period of 2021-2024.

Barking dogs don't bite, it seems that "Silent dogs bite" is also true.

> but proceeded to try to lock up Trump for the entire period of 2021-2024.

that's a very strange/partisan way to say that they tried to hold him legally accountable for his actions.

Know that I love you.

Her very own web page states the following:

"Historian, Educator, and Commentator"

That is her words ( or at least someone who built it for her ), not mine. So you are 1/3 right?

Same page has interviews with her at MSNBC -- and if you listen to those, she does not exactly appear to be exactly an impartial observer.

if you're trying to assign fractions of correctness (huh?), op said historian and tenured professor. and I suspect the ordering of the list on the site matters. so of the prominent, public things that Ben-Ghiat self-identifies as, commentator is the _least_ important.

Not exactly a stylistic difference but there are real differences in the dialects. Here's example from many moons ago: "Even I think that's a bad idea." That was an Indian colleague. It took me weeks to figure out that he was using "even" in place of "also."

In a like vein when Australians say "goodeye" they usually aren't talking about your vision.

They aren’t saying goodeye, they’re saying g’day (good day)
