Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Wow, you are terrible at this. Not only do you want to criticize anything I say but you refuse to respond to a hypothetical where you have the ability to make the best case scenario. You dont want to make changes you just want to be 'correct'. Im done with this conversation. What a useless waste of time.

I'm not criticizing everything you say, I'm just explaining my understanding of some of the economic mechanisms I have problems with.

you refuse to respond to a hypothetical where you have the ability to make the best case scenario.

That's a false dichotomy though...... I don't have to have come up with a hypothetical theory that adequately replaces an entire political and economic reality, just to criticize it.

That's like if I were to complain about my piece of shit car, and having someone say you can't criticize your car unless you can design and manufacture a better replacement.

I don't possess the knowledge or time to accurately replace an economic system through authoritarian actions as you suggested in your hypothetical. That doesn't mean there's not a more sustainable economic model out there that would lead to less wealth inequality. It just means that a person who went to medical school for orthopedics and rehabilitation prob isn't going to be part of the team that figures it out.

You dont want to make changes you just want to be 'correct'.

Lol, dude. What do you mean "don't want to make changes"? I'm not a senator, I don't have the ability to force change on anyone. Literally the only thing I can do to enact any form of change is to create honest and meaningful discord with people like yourself.

Do I think I'm correct, yes, of course. Am I being honest when I challenge your views, yes.

And I think it's kinda ridiculous to adopt a "higher than thou" posture towards me not participating in your impossible hypothetical, when you haven't addressed any of my questions or rebuttals.

Im done with this conversation. What a useless waste of time.

I mean, what was your goal here? What would have made this discord more useful? Did you honestly expect me to just change my viewpoint when you haven't actually engaged with any of my concerns?
