> groups you mentioned think about groups of people they dislike.
I'm sorry - but what?
The groups I stated had core goals that promoted the rights of the strong over the weak (Nazis/Communists - indirectly/Racists/Libertarians - indirectly).
Seeing as I dislike said groups, their ideologies and utilise the veil of ignorance thought framework (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_ignorance) to protect the weak (which is what liberals do) - I can't possibly see how you can compare me to them.
Perhaps you're right and I'm perfectly willing to concede that.
Two questions.
How do you know that he wasn't being sarcastic?
Did I ever state that I wasn't subject to cognitive dissonance, irrationality or faulty logic?
My comparison was based on noticing that disliking classes of persons intrinsically was common. Of course you lack the political power to punish them for it and I have no reason to think you would do that since you find both abuse of power equally revolting to disagreeing with you about markets and politics.
How do I know he wasn't being sarcastic?
I don't know, but he has a good-enough track record here. The brother remark could possibly be sarcastic but his emphasis on actions, not the people, seemed sincere since it agreed with his initial post and he couldn't have foreseen your reply.
Did you ever state that you are not subject to cognitive dissonance, irrationality or faulty logic?
No, but you implied dissonance and illogic were rather obvious flaws of theirs and parts of the reason you find them revolting. Obviously you don't think you're perfect, but when you criticize someone about a specific thing to support your disliking them, I have to assume you think you don't do that thing as much unless you also dislike yourself.
