By Augusto Zimmermann, published 29/9/2020

As well as being profoundly irrational and damaging to our freedom and to our economy, elements of the Australian lockdowns may well be unlawful.

Aidan,

You're a pseudo-intellectual.

You might be able to fool the others but you can't pull the wool over old Mr Opinion's eyes.

Here's a definition I just pulled off the web: A person exhibiting intellectual pretensions that have no basis in sound scholarship; a person who pretends an interest in intellectual matters for reasons of status.

I also found a solution to your problem: Don't stake yourself to an opinion on a topic you don't know anything about. Admit you are not familiar with the topic and not prepared to take a stand. Avoid parroting the ideas of others without exploring differing views or ideas.

You're not alone. Other well-known pseudo-intellectuals on The Forum OLO are shadowminister, Bazz, Hasbeen, Loudmouth, Josephus, and individual.

It's like a grown man playing the part of a 4yo stamping its feet.

So, your uni buddy got special permission from the foreign affairs department to attend his mother's funeral in Hungary, and he can't get back and your mad because Aussies have to go through quarantine?

Tough situation for your mates mum, but sorry no special treatment.
Everyone's got to follow the same rules, you don't get an exemption because you think you're more special than others.

Mr 0,
Why would I want to pull the wool over the eyes of the blind?
This board is not a scholarly discussion; you generally won't see evidence of sound scholarship from anyone, though people may occasionally supply it when challenged.
Are you really unaware of the above? A scholarly discussion wouldn't be anywhere near as tolerant of your ad hominems!

But I am curious about something: what led you to presume my interest isn't genuine?

I'm pleased you've found a solution, but the problem is yours not mine. If you apply it to your own posts, their quality will improve greatly.
