So to me it looks.. weirdly disconnected to call any of these things "thinking you're owed something from your peers", just because one of these individual pieces might not be immediately relevant to your day to day routine.

I wouldn't consider my position "weirdly disconnected". You could use your argument for anything. "What do you mean you don't support public strip clubs? You use public roads don't you?"

I have never in my life seen a publicly owned strip club or heard of governmental strip club subsidisations.

Is that a US thing?

A national or international rail network makes long distance travel safer, faster, more affordable, more sustainable and by those factors incredibly more accessible to lower income citizens.

You pay taxes regardless, wouldn't you want them to go towards something that benefits you and your peers?

You don't get the point of what I'm saying? You don't understand analogies?

Is this a commerical or a reply?

Not in this circumstance.

Analogies usually relate to the topic i guess.

Not a commercial, didn't know stating facts relevant to the discussion is frowned upon in your circles.

Guess we're done here, if you don't like to discuss anything, maybe just don't reply next time.

My analogy wasn't deep. If you don't understand how it relates to the topic 🤷‍♀️

Im perfectly happy with my replies.

you just seem so upset at me listing the benefits of a concept as basic as public transport without ever mentioning anything other than "but communism" and "irrelevant other thing should not be publicly funded so neither should this" :'D

Like sorry that it works in most of the western world

Once again you really don't seem to understand. If all you want to do is deflect, dismiss, and reframe what I'm saying without actually engaging with the points I've made that's not a discussion, that's just you pontificating. By all means that's your choice, but I'm going to respond to it as such.

you just seem so upset at me.

You shouldn't be inferring tone.

like sorry that it works in most of the western world.

Not your best slogan yet.

without actually engaging with the points I’ve made

You have made one. "but socialism" but in your own words. That somehow it would mean feeling entitled to something from your peers. That imo is nothing but a feeling, which i guess you're entitled to feel.

Not your best slogan yet.

"except in the US" would've been a bit too on the nose, i thought.

Oh look! More minimizing, and dismissal! Not an actual argument.

What are you going to do next? Call my perspective weird and detached again?

which i guess you're entitled to feel.

Oh you guuuuuess I'm entitled to feel 🤣 Thank you for being so gracious as to bestow onto me your blessing that I'm allowed to feel feelings about the world.

Anyways I'm done. You're incredibly transparent in the way you attempt to manipulate/provoke emotions, and I'm just done with that petty crap. If that's what you consider a discussion, I'll leave you to it.

🤘

I offered you many opportunities to present arguments, which you didn't take. Or maybe I just don't understand you.

Have a good one anyway.
