    Doesn’t matter how loud you conservatives say it, you won’t make it true. Reality isn’t real.

      You are quick to label me a conservative. I’m a progressivist, communist, and scientist.

      And reality is real by definition.

        The political spectrum is relative, there are no objective points on it. As a realist communist, you’re progressive compared to most people, but you’re conservative compared to a soulist.

        And the argument that reality is real by definition holds about as much water as the argument that the Christian god exists by definition. You see, theologically Deus is defined as the personification of the quality of existence in the universe. What property does your argument for reality have that a Christian argument for Deus doesn’t have?
