The Userite Myth (by New Pacific Order)
#6
I have my degree in political science, specifically in the field of international relations theory. I know the field's writing style, and while this is reminiscent of dense theoretical articles, it is pretty much meaningless. Yes, you do have to explain the premises of your argument. You don't get to assume that everybody knows what *you* mean by the status quo, and if people don't understand that, then you're engaging in a futile exercise of trying to convince them of your broader argument based upon your opaque premises. That wasn't a critic of the merits. It was some good writing advice.


If you're going to say that just because somebody in the NPO wrote this, it must be correct, then there's no point in me critiquing the merits any further than I have. That's pretty arrogant. I don't know what critique you would accept if you honestly believe that the NPO is infallible on the subject.
