I’d have assumed, even as insufferable liberals, that they’d be diverse enough to at least argue with some variety from one federated liberal to another, but so far not seeing much of that.

It’s weird shit too, like the preoccupation with passive-aggressively saying “kindly” while insulting people too left for them. I’ve seen it from three different federated liberals today, alone. Is it some kind of “BioShock had such le epic quotable lines and the blue curtains were awesome, dae ‘would you kindly’” thing?

    If they’re Reddit refugees, Reddit encourages a particular manner of dialogue that is receptive to karma. The whole faux politeness snark is exactly the sort of speech that gets upvotes in the default subs.

    So, the hypothesis is that it’s a Pavlovian response.
