and roko

What's wrong with senpai? xD

Nobody likes roko

His face is a butt.

😃

“Don’t jump ahead of my logic, it only affirms you’re not going to listen to what I say.”

What did I “paint you as” with this statement?

A self-important, arrogant asshat.

I mean, it was pretty valid when Vodka evaded the question and started answering "taxes = stealing, hur dur"

👆

<@238447399951925249> No, I don’t actually think taxes are the same as stealing and that wasn’t my path of logic.

But, hey, as civilized men, we can overlook a slight logical misstep as the natural course of dialogue and move on.

I’d agree, Xy.

Shit like "trying to curtail that nonsense" isn't bloody helping!

For someone who takes great exception to potential insults, you’re very quick to insult other points of view.

But, in the course of argument, you assumed that was his view. The assumption is insulting.

Fuck yeah they can be.

How about if I assumed you were a pedo rapist?

Yes, it's hyperbolic.

“I was just trying to curtail that nonsense”

If you had any sense about you, you'd be at least mildly offended.

“as far as "not going to listen" I'll listen, but I will not waste time on bullshit”

You jumped ahead to where you assumed he'd be headed.

I specifically called it out as hyperbole.

Focus, buddy.

So..what is the point of this conversation?

Anyway, what was the point of
"if a person is destitute, is stealing ok?"
"no, stealing is always wrong. Though circumstances should be considered"

Hmm..

The ball is in @Five, Seven, and Two 's court

Jesus fuck, let it go.

I'm pretty sure there's a song about it.

goddammit, I was curious, too. I gotta go to work. I probably won't be back for more than a couple minutes until after.

See you, gentlemen.

Except for Vodka. You're a filthy commie and I should have known from your name.

I would like to heighten the differece between a demographic voting and a demographic being enfranchised

I like the polish... I havent met a single bad one yet

<@238447399951925249> I’m at work and interruptions are frequent.

<@238447399951925249> My follow-up was to separate taxes as a civic duty from taxes as a safety mechanism and how offloading the mechanism onto others does not teach people who are destitute, even by “no fault of their own” (which is a vanishingly small portion of the poor, by the way), the value of money or their circumstance and very rarely actually helps them.

Paying for agreed-upon utilities and purposes isn’t the same as forcing someone to also pay for mistakes they did not make or circumstances they also don’t control, so if it’s truly no fault of the individual in poverty, requiring others to support them only multiplies the effect across others. Builds resentment, encourages class stratification, discourages active charity.

<@238447399951925249> That said, you presumed, again, what I was doing and threw an awful lot of shade in the meanwhile.

... so you missed “I’m at work and was interrupted”?
