You haven't demonstrated anything here. One would think in four paragraphs you'd be motivated to give > 0 details or reasoning. And no, political propaganda doesn't count.

There were some examples up above. Also those "four paragraphs" are only five sentences total. It could easily be a single paragraph. And there's nothing political in there that I can see.

  The "political" is a forewarning to not bother without details. Others already strayed into that territory. As it stands the post is empty rhetoric and insults against a reasonably-well-understood subject studied over centuries.

    It's insulting the 101 class much more than the subject. You could even take it as a compliment to the breadth of economics that a proper introduction takes longer.

Have you considered politely asking for what you want?

  Not from such an empty negative post—congrats with the other person for defending it.

    I don't think you have much standing to complain about negative posts. I'm also not defending it, although I might be willing to try if you asked nicely. My point is that that your complaint is pretty hollow. "Oh no, somebody posting for free on the internet didn't do the work I wanted! They must be bad!" I guess you get your kicks, but I think it's a pretty low value contribution, in that it is shot through with unearned contempt.

      I got annoyed and responded in kind. So what? Backing up assertions with details is step zero of a worthwhile post. Taught in middle-school and not the responsibility of the reader. The details never came out despite several subthreads. If your priority is protocol over an attempt at truth you've made it clear. Been a while and I don't remember the original assertion so might as well save yourself the time.
