I’ll respond to this later. This person couldn’t stick to their threat of blocking me.

Nonetheless we can learn from this that centrists can not see their own perspective.

They related me with antifa. What? That might be the silliest thing ever. Antifa?? I barely know what it is.

Notice they went to a mainstream dictionary for the definition of reactionary. Not a non American imperialist influenced source. Though likely Wikipedia I assume would provide the same correct pol sci concept for reactionary.

So often we see people on HN or Reddit get so close to understanding the concept but they miss it even while reading the definition.

One major issue is their incessant need to be correct. Their worldview can’t possibly be incorrect. To crack that is to crack society.

To finalize a point to stop incorrect false information.

This user chose to quote one specific generic dictionary just to try to be right when they are not political commentators yet insult any one else who is.

Mixed in with many insults.

Look up most other definitions for reactionary. Not even [advanced] political science only. The Google built in dictionary says

> “adjective (of a person or a set of views) opposing political or social liberalization or reform. "reactionary attitudes toward women's rights"

> Similar: conservative, right-wing, rightist, ultra-conservative, ultra-right, alt-right, blimpish, diehard, traditionalist, conventional, traditional, old-fashioned, progressive, true-blue

> Opposite: radical, progressive

No doubt if nailer ever looks at this they will find an excuse that this definition is somehow wrong.

Nobody has insulted you. The Oxford English Dictionary is one of the oldest most authoritative dictionaries in the world, you should learn about it. Enjoy the block.
