He's a wannabe Steve Jobs who has chased his own one letter legacy for 30 years, pathetic.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." - James D. Nicoll

Idealisms in this case is referring to the attempted application of one's ideals, not the philosophy of idealism. Materialism is a Marxist ideal for example.

I suspect this is a case of a person that does not understand what idealism actually means

If self awareness was a disease you'd be the healthiest person alive. Funny how you tried to throw your pseudo intellectual weight around but missed the first important step of ensuring you had adequate cognizance of the message you were responding to.

Asking a simple question about my use of idealism, or for that matter having more than passing grasp of English, would have clued you onto your misinterpretation.

If you had you'd have saved yourself a lot of keystrokes.

Yes, they're so wilfully stupid that they limit their understanding of social development to what they can dredge out of history and apply idealisms to reality with the willingness of authoritarians.

Fuck that, I spend enough time arguing with ignorant uneducated fuckwits on the Internet without being exposed to a hive of wilful stupidity.
