Ultimately lots of disagreements have this cyclic structure. Like people accusing those who call for tolerance of being intolerant of intolerance. Or those who oppose science by accusing scientists of not doing science right. Or those telling people to think for themselves, and find out the truth (from the sources they deem to be correct). Or people who claim that those campaigning against racism are the real racists for making everything about race. There's probably some deep point, but I can't be bothered to think about it. It's easier to just be enraged at how stupid people are. Those stupid f*ers who can't even have a civil discussion!

Oh wait...
Quite.
