    This is an exception to systemic pressures and rules, and does not really answer the original statement. It’s more pedantry than anything.

      It’s such good pedantry though, that you don’t have a counter argument.

      Where did I say systemic pressures weren’t at play? I even agreed that there was pressure to drop communism when becoming a billionaire.

      What do you mean by rules? Is this just another word for systemic pressures to make your post bigger?

      How can one answer a statement? I was disagreeing and I laid out my reasoning why with a though experiment.

      Nothing in your reply makes sense in the context of this discussion.

        I don’t need to counter it, you were trying to debate-bro something you already largely appear to agree with. That’s my point, saying a Communist can randomly win the Lottery and be a billionaire temporarily adds absolutely nothing to the conversation.

          I’m sorry you don’t like how well my thought experiment proved my point.

          Instead of whining about it and pretending it’s not real, you could always come up with a counter argument.

            Here’s the counter-argument: nobody is saying a Communist randomly gaining a billion dollars is no longer a Communist. This is an argument you invented purely to be a debate-bro contrarion. This is not well thought out or a point worth discussing, bevause it is meaningless.

              Thank you!

              I am having this discussion with someone else here: https://lemm.ee/comment/11426307

              Feel free to add your thoughts

              As for the debate bro stuff. Whether or not you realize it, you are also debate bro-ing. We are both trying to convince others of our thoughts though discussion and arguments. You are also using some of the strategies. I hope one day you will realize your potential and turn into a great debate warrior.

              It’s a good way to understand others and get closer to truth. Mostly, it helps others to see the arguments on both sides.
