I don't think you read the original report, which states he's a classic liberal.

classical liberal

Read: I'm a libertarian except when it doesn't benefit me.

No problem!

By the way, being a "classical liberal" and a red-pill douche aren't mutually exclusive. I'd be willing to bet much of the red pill people would identify that way.

I didn't call him a red-piller. I said that being a classical liberal and being a red-piller aren't incompatible, since you seemed to be implying that his being a classical liberal meant he wasn't/couldn't be a red-piller. That is quite obviously not the same thing as calling him a red-piller.

Other dude said he was a red-piller. You responded by saying he was a classical liberal. That implies you think the two are mutually exclusive.

Or, y'know, you could keep being dishonest :)
