Welfare, perfectly groups into these people in my family/extended right wing group of friends. He presents a bombardment of shallow arguments without much thought or consideration of nuances. Like most of the audiences of Sam Harris, Shapiro, Peterson et al. Alot of right wingers your describing (see: welfare) that seem to gravitate towards "evidence" are lonely, internet addicted, self-important illiterates.

I'm off this thread now, and potentially off RS for good (except maybe the travel and watch threads).

Don't ditch off sir, you bring good posts to some of these threads. Is there a mute feature on this board you can't use?
