Did they say "everyone else?"

Mu. You're accusing someone worried about everyone being a dick, as if they think the problem is only other people. It's a rhetorical attempt at reversing a nonexistant grasp for superiority - and it's a non sequitur. Even if someone believed they, themselves, would act decently, they could be right to worry about other people, and only mistaken in forgetting they are other people.

appreciate the thorough explanation, but unfortunately it seems completely irrelevant to the actual words i said, or any meaning, intent, or purpose therein.

They aren't.

'Everyone should be smart enough to figure this out' is not a claim to be a suuuper geeenius.

more like, im so smart, i can misrepresent the core ideals of political ideology, and then poke holes in my own misrepresentation.

Criticism zero percent conveyed by snipping 'okay, Einstein.'

I could put a sticker on your forehead and you'd try to pick it off the mirror.
