tweeb has been banned, but I understood his point even though it was very poorly made. I believe he referred to Pol Pot because the Khmer Rouge leader tried to create a peasant farming society.

I think tweeb’s implication was that low-tech farming methods didn’t work very well for Pol Pot. However, the whole low-tech versus high-tech argument was lost on me, because even a hand plow could be considered high tech by someone who doesn’t have one.

If by high-tech tweeb meant modern, industrial farming methods and distribution systems, I think he’s right. I don’t think our modern cities could exist without those technologies. What this has to do with animal-human hybrids, I don’t know.

tweeb didn’t make his slurs with the intent of making a point as attacking posters who he disagreed with.

You’re trying to play both sides against the middle isn’t working.

No doubt you are thinking that you’re trying to be a peacemaker, but all that comes across is that you are willing to compromise what you think depending on who you’re talking to.
