That wasn’t a zinger, I actually don’t think you do

Americans really don’t understand that they aren’t the only country on earth

I’m not sure you know what “pedantic” means

How do you determine where an "extreme " is on a circle? Democracy was considered extreme once

Sounds like SocDem.

It wasn’t to start with

The Soviet revolution managed it

As opposed to the source you provided, which was nothing

Capitalism is a form of extremism

You should go back to Reddit, you’d be happier there

Well I will agree that your average 16 year-old is more well read then the person I replied to.

I’m not saying that was good either, but middle European countries started with a similar situation and got much farther.

No they didn’t.

but that doesn’t mean it’s good.

K. Your line for what counts as “good” is completely arbitrary and vibes based.

while other countries went paths that lead to 8/10

No they didn’t

How convenient for you that anything that doesn’t agree with you is inherently “obvious propaganda” and doesn’t warrant engagement, it certainly it fortune for you that you have created a standard where you can never be wrong and never have to engage with anything that disagrees with you.

You don’t even have sources, just ambient cultural anti-communism. When Cowbee tried to present you with new information, you just responded “tldr”.

You have zero interest in independent journalism, you reject anything that doesn’t agree with you out of hand

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Supporting complete passivism in the face of injustice means supporting injustice. You would have called for the Jews to let the Nazis kill them.

Lol. The US government was one of the most murderous on earth well before Trump.
