They’re a massive debate troll.

Okay bud. If it helps- I am profusely sorry for having asked you a question. I didn’t mean to upset you and I will flag you as “sensitive” so as to avoid this mistake in the future.

You have my deep and sincere apologies.

Since you have seen fit to tell me my reason and purpose, it’s only fair I do the same.

You had no intention to discuss this in good faith the moment you commented. And this is because you know too little on the subject to trust yourself to stand up against even the slightest scrutiny.

You caved after single follow up question. And now you’re blaming me because you lack knowledge of, and commitment to the subject.

Do better.

So your suggestion is to turn America into Russia/China?

Theirs is no condescension in my tone because there Is no “tone” in written word.

I simply asked you a question you refused to answer, and then I refuted your reasoning for not answering.

And it’s not a debate unless you participate.

Next time, answer a question when asked. Take it as a prompt for you to sell your idea on someone who is looking to you for an answer.

So your solution is to hand everything over to the government and allow them to control the labor, the profit, and the wealth of over 340 million people without first having any understanding whatsoever about how a system such as that would be stressed under the weight of such a population?

I’ll add that there exists no government on the planet that could be trusted to do something like that without exploiting the populace- as none have done so to date.

You clearly haven’t thought this through.

I agree. That’s a good start at least.

[-] RickSorkin@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Elaborate with an example of how exactly that would work for a country of 340 million people.

[-] RickSorkin@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Isn’t this what they would want?

[-] RickSorkin@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

And how would you fix it?

[-] RickSorkin@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Care to share what you know?
