Followed by an angry post about a tangential topic. As you read the second line, you realize you were baited by my inflammatory subject. As you read the third line, it dawns on you that most people rely on buzzwords and vague abstractions to discuss and justify their political paradigms.
You know that this thread will be empty of thoughtful political discourse.
Despite knowing that you've been duped, you reply to this thread in order to satisfy your pedantic compulsions. You simply cannot ignore a chance to correct someone else. This inevitably brings you into conflict with your actual ideological enemies.
You then engage in horrible pedantism, ignoring the fact that nobody involved is educated enough to properly analyse the subject at hand. Effectively, the man who is nitpicked less and mocks more wins with sheer 'net charisma, however weak his actual arguments.
Random comment about religion.

"The first line of a political signature, containing a misquote, terrible formatting, and/or pretentious drivel that doesn't practically apply to any situation in living experience." -- Attributed to some important sounding guy.
An unnecessary link to your favorite propaganda or pornography.
