That's because it's beyond your puny mortal comprehension.I don't understand what you mean

I've a very dated, floral saucepan and it lowers my opinion of whatever's being cooked in it.I'm with Corpse. I don't find 70s Britain appealing at all. It's the Spar thing again.

haha, fair. I could've phrased that less contentiously. what I was trying to get at was that there were certain things that now seem obvious in retrospect but which at the time and from a certain perspective were anything but. eg declaring victory after the invasion. it's not that ppl were instrumentally using ideological positions to further their ends and opting out of them when the need occurred, but that they didnt realise that their perspective was ideological. Rumsfeld's forgotten unknown knowns.Traitor.
I think I hate this sort of YouTube comment more than any other. Any video of Murray, Peterson, Hitchens etc is inundated with them. People falling over themselves waffling about IQ and mannered discussion.

Have some sympathy with the second part of that sentence
Of all of them, Rumsfeld was the least ideological, but this is not the right thread for that discussion.
