"I will rain essays all over you"

Actually so real

Pretty sure they have stock replies ready for any sort of critique. It explains why they go on for two pages of text and two dozen links and it doesn't even have anything to do with the actual topic at hand. It's just bizarre

I've read a couple of the essays. On top of stuff like fawning over Stalin randomly and portraying everyone asking him questions in interviews or whatever as morons, they didn't even answer the questions raised in their premise until the conclusion, and when they finally did, the answers were just completely unsatisfactory. Basically a waste of half an hour or whatever.

They do. I see constant threads in. Ml leftist communities where they ask how to response to a certain talking point and come up with a standard response.
