    It isn’t how stupid, ignorant or uneducated people in government are, those are all foibles I can accept as part of people being human, it is the violent response to the very concept of a spontaneous joyful curiosity to learn and know new things while letting them be, that I cannot.

            Term? Are you serious? It is a metaphor, honestly the fact that you can’t tell the difference between similes and analogs makes me really concerned about your ability to make your broader point even though this conversation I am roping you into has nothing to do with this unnecessarily specific and overly involved tangent that doesn’t actually challenge the fundamental basis of your argument…

            edit before you can cleverly respond I am going to pre-emptively be clever about that clever thing so I will just look even more clever so don’t bother but also you have to respond that is just the etiquette of internet arguments FYI

            TL;DR blah blah blah blah blah blah
