          Makes claim

          Asked to explain claim

          Answers with whatever this is

          What a sincere waste of time you are. If you can’t articulate why you hold your opinion, why do you have it?

          Edit: Here, I don’t think Billionaires and Democracy, nor Communism, go together, because I believe the mere fact that people can become billionaires at all is a moral failing on society regardless of whichever system of governance they fall under. Their vanity projects that destroy our environments and burden our budgets, to avoiding paying their share in both taxes and in unpaid wages, I sincerely believe Billionaires are a blight on us all.

          Like, if you can’t tell us why you feel otherwise, why do you feel otherwise at all? Why are you even here?

      Maybe it’s possible, but we’ve not been seeing it work out that way. Why are you so upset about that observation?

        @TrickDacy

        It’s not an oberservation: It’s disinformation.

        Lousy, lazy propaganda.

        And I don’t know if you’re projecting, but: I’m not upset.

        I just don’t tolerate disinformation of any kind that happens to end up in my timeline and let accounts know.

        That’s all.

        Bye.

          Hey - You are allowed to explain why the extremely thorough, well-referenced, and logically coherent article is disinformation, unless of course you didn’t read the article and are just dismissing it based on the title (and blocking anyone who did read it and dares to expect the same).

          I don’t instantly block people who don’t upset me on some level. But really the question remains: why is this information so offensive? You could briefly explain. It seems like a pretty logical conclusion for someone to conclude that billionaires and democracy don’t seem to ever coincide. You came off very dismissive and reactionary but you could avoid that with some explanation.

              I mean yeah, a troll probably, but something even weirder may be going on with that account. You barely have to scroll to get back to comments from a year ago. Maybe this is an alt they’ve recently returned to.

                Weird account for sure.

                It looks like someone doesn’t want to communicate, but still feel the urge yell out “humbug” every time they see something that doesn’t fit into their own internal dialogue.
