When someone says (in that context) "getting things done," they are advocating tyranny whilst trying to sweep that fact under the rug.
If you want something to "get done," roll up your sleeves and do it. Don't expect (or rather, insist) that others do it for you. What we need is a society that has decided they've had enough tyranny and simply raise their middle finger--refuse to comply and withdraw consent.

I suppose then that you think your logic correct and that is your benchmark so anyone outside of that is using distorted logic.
You're using at least 1 of the 'Distorted Thinking Styles' here ^ & identified at the piece at the link.
How is it somehow 'wrong' to attempt to avoid cognitive distortions that may skew one's perceptions? After all, no one is perfect.

Edit to include: the underlying assumption in critical & creative thinking strategies is no one is perfect i.e. the idea is to self-correct if at all possible. It's helpful if one can identify one's own thinking distortions, & not just in other folks.

• Identify the problems. — “What’s the real question we’re facing here?”
• Define the context. — “What are the facts & circumstances that frame this problem?”
• Enumerate choices. — “What are our most plausible three or four options?”
• Analyze options. — “What is our best course of action, all things considered?”
• List reasons explicitly. — “Let’s be clear: Why we are making this particular choice?”
• Self-correct. — “Okay, let’s look at it again. What did we miss?”

First thing this morning I had to sign an updated contract with a longtime client. Just a formality.
He's a bit loony as he enjoys human interaction () so we met for breakfast because well...the customer is always right...or something like that.
Anyway, while stuck in traffic (I'm in SoCal which means it took 50 minutes to go 5 feet) I said to myself: "I wish we could just "social contract" this thing so I could turn around and go home."
When you hear that someone is a Libertarian, do you think anything particular about the person--and anything particularly good or bad? Or are there so few Libertarians out there that you think nothing of it?
For example, what if you child was dating someone and your child told you that the person is a Libertarian? Or you saw that a regular acquaintance who you don't know well has a Libertarian bumper sticker?
Thanks.
