Unfortunately, mocking, gaslighting, parsing & strawmanning are not entertaining. Maybe you should actually try to debate a real point: currently, I'm saying that Marxism always wins without lethal countermeasures. You could argue against that point, or you could argue that democracy should prevail, or something that has a chance of being insightful...

p.s. That's real advice but I don't know if you recognize sincerity?

I just wanted to quote the Bible a little, since Smitty's faith is inspiring.

You went and made it all personal.... again.

Did you notice the cleverness of Smitty's detour into Theism? That's another option when faced with a choice between Marxism and Fascism. He makes it entertaining. Maybe you were trying to also but it flopped.

Still making it personal, eh?

For a "debate god" you have a surprisingly limited tool set.

At least I have gaslighting, mocking and straw-manning.

Hey, anytime you have something that wasn't taxed away from others, I think we're all grateful.

Are you talking to moi? I inherited mines, like an American.

No government handouts here!

damn rights

God bless George W. Bush for getting the inheritance tax repealed

it's not like taxes are actually paying for anything

the actual fiscal gap in America, total outlays vs total returns, is $160 trillion all added up

no point in throwing your money into that bottomless pit, pilgrims

a Ponzi scheme need collect no tax at all

the world is stuck with the debt they bought from America, they have nobody to sell it to

that's the only thing propping this house of cards up

So your whole family is a bunch of gaslighting, mocking, straw-manning tools? Holidays must be so fun at your house.

I really do wish we could just skip to the endgame.

Employer has cancelled our company party due to COVID fears. This would just be for employees, not spouses, kids, etc. Company already has a vaccine mandate, so everyone there should be vaccinated, and yet fear of delta is too great to have a party for a few hours.

Just draw up the lines between the Constitutional US and Vaccanistan already. This is coming from someone who willingly got vaccinated in the spring.

ah yes, the National Divorce

that's really just invoking the Confederacy and associated Gentleman's Agreement

so the end game would be Pickett's Charge

that smacks of Anomie, the urge to destroy the other is really the urge to destroy oneself

to wit, a suicide mission
