David Frenchism

a viewpoint in which one advocates for neutral classical liberal principles in the face of illiberal forces despite the zealous willingness of illiberal forces to turn the tools of classical liberalism against itself in the pursuit of power. A believer in David Frenchism assumes that under a free speech doctrine, all views will be afforded space in the public square in the marketplace of ideas, and holds this view even when presented with overwhelming evidence that allied forces are being effectively squeezed out by illiberal forces. David Frenchism typically involves improperly assessing the facts on the ground, underestimated the strength and determination of a political opponent, and making naive, Constitution-based legal arguments that are tantamount to "powerlessness by design" that cedes the field to a political enemy.

David Bloomer

Raised by a pack of savage Asians, David Bloomer is a closet gayman that roller skates around the parking lot of the PC. More times than not, you can find a David Bloomer sipping some nasty ass concoction of herbs and roots while contemplating the philosophy of philosophy.
