Typical interaction with a statist, copied and pasted:
(Story about some dire consequence of the War on Politically Incorrect Drugs.)
Drug abuse is stupid; prohibition is evil. Anyone supporting this has lost their compass.
“Your solution to such societal blight and expense upon the taxpayer for crime and welfare costs is what?”
Stop taxing people, and there’s no more expense upon the taxvictims.
End welfare for the same reason. (Charity works; welfare destroys.)
And what do you consider “societal blight”? I think if the stupid and evil War on Some Drugs is ended, a lot of the worst addicts will die off. The rest will either figure out how to be productive while abusing substances, or they’ll have to stop.
There’s really no downside unless you’re addicted to government and its “solutions”.
“You're an idiot and your village wants you back.”
That’s exactly the kind of response I expected. Thank you for confirming my hypothesis.
“You're living proof of your low IQ. Clearly you're told that often.”
And…
“Nothing to respond to. Your options are not logical or based in reality.”

You be the judge.
Thank you for reading.

Congrats on being so patient with this adversary!
ReplyDeleteYour answers were exquisitely "logical [and] based in reality" so his final response makes abundantly clear what 12 years of government schooling have done to his mind.
And that is their purpose, as Gatto concluded: to "dumb down."
For a majority of people, "not logical or based in reality" just means "I don't like it" since they understand neither logic nor reality.
DeleteAnd yes, your finger is probably pointed at the real culprit at the foundation of this problem.
