When I say "I think you're not in good faith", obviously that's not an argument for anything. Take it as a justification of why I'm convinced that continuing won't get us anywhere and therefore not worth the effort.
And by the way... when I said that I was referring to someone else; I haven't been following what you've been saying.
- rectang 9y agoClumsy phrasing on my part. I meant that collectively, the participants in this thread are irreconcilably opposed. You and I seem to be roughly aligned. I'm horrified by jakeogh and the unfettering of corporate monsters to gobble up little people; I expect he would be similarly horrified by me for contemplating having the state rein them in. I'd like to think there's a middle ground where we all deplore and distrust the concentration of power in either public OR private hands, but past experience in debates like this leads me to believe that's unlikely.
- jakeogh 9y agoAccurate, I appreciate the levelness of your thought. I'll leave it here, just noticed dang gave me another warning above. It's not an easy job, I know.
