They think they’re entitled to maximize profit, you think you’re entitled to live...

See, this is what's called a false dichotomy, and this glaring failure in your argument is why you're downvoted. (At least that's why i did).

I do. I think I'm entitled to live. Yes i cut off the part where you said "where you can't afford" because someone besides you and me (yes, you, you aren't a capitalist, you are a wage slave just like me mayne) controls that, don't they?

Housing is a human right, and even if you don't believe that, it sure is a requirement for a person to work and live. Without shelter in these expensive places you describe, no one can do the labor required for the local economy in these places to thrive.

So you have an answer for this? Frankly, i don't expect much, but id like to be surprised. Can you defend adding "where you can't afford" as anything other than words making your inhumane statement more palatable?

Yes, supply and demand. You are part of that system, whether you want to admit it or not.

You are part of those with more wealth thinking they deserve even more before others who have less. This is why you think you're entitled to handouts so you can live in major cities before those who live in places "not good enough for you."

So you have an answer for this?

No joke, you will never admit your contribution to the problem. You are simply incapable of it and I've come across many people like you before. You will completely ignore logic and reason to blame anyone but yourself for your problems that you refuse to fix.

Mmmmm that's good stuff. Yea! Yeah! Talk down to me baby!

But I asked your to defend a specific statement and you just repeated your ad hominems from your other replies. Are you gonna engage with me or should i expect another copy pasta ya picked up from the boob tube?

I know you won't respond to my question this time either, so Please hit me with a new ad hominem, make it something i haven't seen? I would have you try harder

[–] harderian729@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't care what you "asked." I'm not going down your stupid rabbit holes or adhering to your ultimatums.

Lol.

Ok, i got you down to your baseline at least. A troll at heart, and easily ignored. I did have hope still, that you had an imagination.

Ive been a fool

[–] harderian729@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

Not a troll at all. Just smart enough to rise above children on the internet.
