House SlowFlowPro

Enemies:
Everyone after page three.

Weakness:
Cannot distinguish between a debate and a hostage situation.

The glory of House SlowFlowPro reached its zenith during the legendary Great Siege of Endless Verbiage, fought during the turbulent years of the Second Meme Age. When a grand coalition of rival houses—including elements of House BugAC, House Jbird, and several mercenary troll companies—laid siege to Wordwall Keep, they expected a swift victory. Instead, they encountered the greatest defensive weapon ever devised in the Political Talk realm: the Seven-Part Response. According to the chronicles, each assault on the walls was met not with arrows or boiling oil, but with increasingly comprehensive explanations, historical context, philosophical frameworks, economic analysis, footnotes, and clarifications of previous clarifications. By the third day, the attackers had forgotten what they were arguing about. By the fifth day, several commanders had switched sides out of intellectual exhaustion. By the seventh day, the besieging army had become trapped in a debate over definitions and was unable to retreat.

The decisive moment came when Lord SlowFlowPro unveiled the now-famous Treatise Offensive, a maneuver so devastating that contemporary historians still debate whether it constituted warfare or graduate-level instruction. Eyewitnesses reported that one opposing knight attempted to respond but died of old age somewhere around paragraph fourteen. Another reportedly cried out, “I concede the point, whatever the point was!” before fleeing the battlefield. Thus ended the Great Siege of Endless Verbiage, securing House SlowFlowPro’s reputation as the only house in the history of PT capable of winning a war by ensuring that absolutely nobody involved had the energy to continue fighting.

To this day, cadets at the Royal War College study the campaign under its official title:

“The Battle Nobody Finished Reading.”

What is remarkable about leftists, such as you, is that you recognize this flaw in human nature, but it never occurs to you that giving them more power, by making government bigger, is a terrible idea.

could you hear my eyes roll all the way in JP? when do I ever argue for the government to have more power? Maybe 15 years ago.

People are the problem with government and they aren’t going anywhere.
