      Then stop proving me right.

      Not a liberal. Anarcho-Communist. But I’m also not an idiot. Praxis praxis praxis. You have none, only idealism.

        What’s the praxis here? I think the word you’re looking for here is “pragmatism”; those aren’t the same things.

          I am aware. Praxis is the synthesis of theory and action, as distinct from pure idealism divorced from any actual action. Pragmatism is a guiding principle in choosing what actions to take, prioritizing behavior that has tangible results over fruitless ones.

          I can see why you would think I’m conflating the two since I am advocating praxis specifically founded on pragmatism. However, I’m also generally advocating any form of praxis, pragmatic or not, over just empty both-sides complaining.
