Poisoning the water supply to increase the margin on bottled water is a valid business plan. Banning that is a good answer, and neither authoritarian nor fascist.
- randomhodler84 5y agoSupply again. Supply!! The analogy would be you telling people they have to drink that water a certain way and banned from drinking it the way they want. That’s fascism. Everybody that wants to ban PoW is an authoritarian fascist. Might be an eco fascist, might be a boot licking state loving fascist… still a fascist.
- cedilla 5y agoI thought that was a simple story. No one is banned from drinking poisoned water. What is banned is poisoning other people's water. Really, this isn't that difficult. If you want to make a point about supply, please make a point about supply instead of just repeating the word randomly.
- randomhodler84 5y agoWe can all agree we want clean power, which is entirely in the hands of the suppliers. Rather than pushing one’s preferences around on users and forcing them to do your will, why not go after the Coal and Gas producers — the supply. People get upset when you want to ban things because it’s a bully move. The bully thinks their opinion is true and correct and others must succumb to their will.
- cedilla 5y agoYour use of words like "bullying" and "pushing" suggests you frame this as some kind of antagonistic battle instead of arguing on the merits. People don't get upset when we outlaw things because the rule of law is a great thing in general. People enjoy not getting mugged or having their water supply poisoned. Please tell me how a ban on poisoning the water supply is "bullying".
- randomhodler84 5y agoPlease provide a better analogy. I don’t see what using electricity has to do with poisoning water.
- cedilla 5y agoThe point of contention is your claim that bans are "fascist". You have not substantiated that claim, so I don't really know why I even try to refute it, but I tried with a simple illustration that sometimes, banning things is not "fascist", and not bullying.
- teawrecks 5y agoYou're banned from using the word "fascist".
- randomhodler84 5y agoFascist!
