You claim 'Lemmings" prefer to vote for who they want. That not only anthropomorphises Lemmy in to something wrong (generalities are seldom accurate), but your attitude suggest that peoplewho do not vote for the most popular in the polls are dumb for voting how they want when it doesn't match the poles. You are actually stupid if you fail to understand how pathetic your response was.

Did I claim that? I don't think I claimed that. If you could show me or quote me making that claim, I would appreciate it.

I mean Lemmy is a collective of people. I don't think its wrong to anthropomorphize groups of people (because they are, well.. people), and you might be arguing (not quite sure here) that I shouldn't' be giving human attributes of behavior to groups of humans, because fundamentally they have different behavioral models. That's an interesting argument, and more than happy to have that if thats what you are saying here. But to be clear, I'm not arguing that a herd of cows has a collective opinion on genocide. And "generalities are seldom accurate", I'm not sure how even to address that. The entire modern world is basically predicted on the assumption that although there is variation or noise in most systems, when you aggregate them, they collapse to the mean. So I'm not sure what to do with your statement "generalities are seldom accurate". That seems dismissive of a couple hundred years of the scientific method to evaluating evidence.

Again, I don't think I said that. If you could quote me directly, I think that would go a long ways in this discussion.

You are actually stupid if you fail to understand how pathetic your response was.

Ok. Thanks. Have a nice rest of your day.
