Okay, I reread the entire string that started with americaboy posting that he was a Trump voter now because of the "sex scandal" crap. Then it got into the value or not of third party voting. Then the economic theories of Libertarians vs. Greens and that's where it went bad.

I assume by "reality-distorting" you mean some kind of cognitive dissonance was appearing which I don't see. Dissident remained consistent with an economic view that you and qtns disagree with but qtns stopped 'debating' and became arrogant and started 'making fun of' the supposed ignorance of an opposing view, namely the value of hard work or The Labor Theory of Value. Piling on with an absurdity that the rich give to charities and create museums and nature preserves out of generosity to the masses instead of tax write-offs and monuments to themselves in name.

I am not smart enough to debate the Labor Theory of Value but I think I'm smart enough to see an argument leave the civil debate arena and enter the personal attack arena (I know you guys have a name for that).

And . . . I have some experience with so called "reality distorting substances". They don't always distort reality. Sometimes they expand it.
