Yes, check this out

I'm convinced you are a troll, but in the event you aren't, I'll just drop these here since you're going on about it in this channel already

It is where he said that I was saying it after posting the screenshot and then changed to I was thinking it

So you vocalized your position but didn't actually think it?

how else is this to be interpreted

Did I vocalise it? You said yes. Waiting for proof

My bad, you typed it out. Your position there was that welfare and taxes don't exist in free markets, and you used the austrian school as proof

I didn't type it too. Try again

Please remember your script

I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or not. I really can't

You can show the exact quote mate.

which I did

No. The sentences differ.

You acknowledged that "even if he did not think that"

"Even if he did not think that" meaning "even if he didn't think friedman was in the austrian school"

Did I type that he was in Austrian School? Yes or No?

"Even if you didn't think that and unintentionally said it, or it looked like you said it due to word placement"

Please answer. You said here that I typed it.

"You think free markets can have taxes and welfare? Thanks for being against the proponents of free markets"
"You think free markets can have taxes and welfare? Try telling that to the Austrian school and Chicago boys"

Did you or did you not say that?

why are we still doing this

i dont know

draco is not bright enough to have discourse

Why you are changing the quote?

I mean i agree not everyone should vote however the lack of wisdom is moreso an effect that the effort needed to have the right to vote is so low, the harder one needs to work to aqquire such a right the more interested and the more one thinks about politics and its impact, who he casts the vote to and is more ready to do something. Giving the vote to everyone for simply existing and aggreing to a terms of service is pathetic and reduces the value and the pressure of even being interested in politics and thinking. It makes voting something benign and to be thrown away. However reducing the people that can vote and increasing criteria to be able to vote is and must be the way we go. You cannot thus give away the vote to everyone nor can you restrict it, both systems produce an equally terrible and unstable result.

Id prefer there to be a bar of literacy, and prior political knowledge and basic ideological theories. Add additionally that a person must be employed or working in some way, also add that a person must have done his mandatory civil or military service. Why these kinds of requirements? Because an illiterate person or someone that refuses to at lest do a minimum amount of studying has no place deciding the fate of others, they refuse to actively participate and as such do not deserve to participate at all. Why work? Because someone must put in constant effort in order to vote, they must be actively working in the world and giving and taking something from the system which will grant them an understanding of at least its basic economic function. Why mandatory service? because people need to have experienced ultimately sacrificing their year or months of life for the good of the nation, they must also know that they are from then on out a citizen with duties to fulfill and that should things go south, they will be forced into service and have as such responsibilities. Giving the person a sense of connection to the politics happening. No longer is the war going to be fought by the proffesionals any and all wars will conscript the men. All of this to make sure the value of the vote increases and the way a vote is case, or used, is well thought through and carries far more weight while also distributing it to the most worthy of society, in which case is id say some 75% or rather really 40% (mostly working men) (retired also countrs if one worked their life)

Please tell me where I typed that Friedman was part of Austrian School

Or where I said it

Good lord

Remembering God when lie got caught?
