@St_Rev hm, the neutral aren't staying still in absolute terms, bc the train's moving... but then neither is anyone else

@St_Rev but relative distance from others on the same train isn't affected... so... yeah -
@St_Rev how about: "you can't be neutral when everyone around you is madly jumping all over the place" -
@St_Rev well... no, you still *can*. "I'm in the same place I've always been, *you're* the one that ran all the way over there" -
@schakalsynthetc Yeah. It's a very weird claim. People who use it appear to be evil fools mostly. -
@St_Rev plus there's the inconvenient fact that metaphors aren't actually arguments -
@schakalsynthetc Yeah, it's like...distilled connotation. Bathtub distilled. -
@St_Rev sometimes an apt metaphor can be just the thing to help an argument click but semiotics is tricksy - 1 more reply

@St_Rev I don't get what it's even trying to mean. Something like neutrality = complicity w status quo? -
@simplic10 It's a nicey way of saying "we are moving, are you moving WITH us or are you our ENEMY?" -
@St_Rev@simplic10 "how did I get on your train I don't remember this" -
@simplic10@St_Rev you can't stand still on a horse to lead it to water for a pig in a poke now do what I say or else
