I'm assuming you have proof of this? Other than "it would fit my preexisting biases perfectly"?

I also remember the days when YOU were perfectly happy with govt doing exactly that. Oh, that was when Democrats were in charge.

LOOOOOOL, whaaaaat? :DDDDD You leftists really are unhinged from reality, aren't you? I mean do you even live on the same planet? Hello, Earth? With places like Somalia where you can observe in practice what happens when there's no civilization?

Well, newsflash: a billionaire does NOT depend on - what? "infrastructure and institutions"? to be able to own stuff, YOU do, just like you depend on the state for your medical care, food stamps and so on. A billionaire just buys all of those things, from food, through services, down to security in his possessions via hiring private army and becoming a local warlord. Believe me, his armed goons will have no trouble getting you to - what was the phrase you used? Erm, "recognize his ownership" of anything he wishes, without any "civilization" involved. And that includes the stuff that "civilization" would recognize as yours, not his, because why the hell not.

You leftists and your quaint ideas like "civilization is a gift from the society to the billionaires that they should be eternally grateful for" :DDDDDDD No, when Mad Max comes, YOU're the one who's screwed, Elon Musk will be perfectly fine :DDDDDD

"hoarders" do not need excuses, it's their property, they're free to do with it whatever they like. YOU, the one who wants to take their stuff and "distribute it to the poor (meaning yourself)" need excuses.

LOL, you really have no clue how the economy works, do you? In order to drive anyone out of business, you not only have to lower the price of your product, but you have to be able to saturate the market with it. As it is, RAM manufacturers could be giving away all their production for free, and there would still be demand for more, and people willing to pay a fair price for it.

LOL, you really have no clue, do you? Go ahead, try killing someone and then claim immunity because you did this while on the clock. Same for bankruptcy - if it was abolished all you'd have to do is just set limits of liability and write down seizable assets in every contract, but there's nothing the state provides that can't be reimplemented.

So you're arguing that bank bailouts are a proper function of the government and we should keep doing them? Because standard capitalist procedure would have been to sell them off, and use the money to partially pay off the debtors, and I'm wondering whether you're too stupid to know it, or are arguing in bad faith by pretending that what happened was the "capitalist" way.

LOL, another leftist who has no idea how economy works. Here's a hint: the state offers jack shit in terms of protections. If a company goes bust, it's its debtors that foot the bill, not the government. The only thing government does is provide some standardised legal structure, so every contract doesn't need to have 20 additional pages describing liability limits.

LOL, dream on leftie. With the way you disarmed yourself in your opposition to 2A, your "revolution" will be going up against regular army with military-grade equipment, AND the other half of the populace, who, coincidentally, have kept their guns to a much higher degree than you have. The only way you'll be revolting is in the same way you already are, i.e. in the "repulsive, disgusting" sense.

You leftists wanted strong government, well, there you have it. You should be happy.

"promise"? What promise? See the word "promise" anywhere in that quote? You know, talking about plans, visions and dreams, making predictions about future, and so on is very different from making promises.

Yes, exactly, those greedy american capitalist pigdogs, leaving their junk in orbit, not like commie China, responsibly deorbiting and disposing them.

Oh wait, actually it's exactly the opposite.

So Elon is running the money printers and not the FED? And it's still all his fault?

Glad we're at least not trying to pretend it's about "keeping it out of Trump's hands", and instead it's about "putting it in hands of our goons who'll be able to snoop through it whenever they feel like it".

No, the problem is morons who think the magical phrase "it's like shouting fire in theatre" magically invalidates 1A in all circumstances (and other free speech laws in other countries).
