        Yup, by the Socratic transitive law of equality, if mastengwee says that everyone who makes generalizations is a bastard, and mastengwee’s statement was a generalization in itself, then mastengwee just called himself a bastard.

        Any accusation stating that ALL people are a thing- is by definition- a blanket statement. And there’s no need for name calling. This isn’t grade school.

          No one said all people. Op said cops and landlords. Two positions that commit violence on innocent people as part of their job description. To be a cop or a landlord is to be a bastard. It’s inherent to the professions.

            Evictions are violence. All landlords and cops are bastards.

            Is that so?

                  Cops and landlords are not all people, unless I’m misreading this thread, that was my point.

                    So… let’s summarize:

                    You dehumanize people who dehumanize…

                    And you’re the good guy?

                    ROFL!

                    Again - blanket statements make you look foolish. I expect to see a Nazi comparison any moment now.
