Discrediting of opinion isn't a valid path of argumentation. Don't lower yourself to the tatics of the right simply because it's easy... (unless it's a lost case, like a Nazi. Then it becomes justified).

Epistemic fallacy, non sequitur, strawman fallacy, goalpost moving.

His argumentation was clear in that it was directed at questioning one, and only one, attribute mentioned by you, specifically:

Then again Biden himself is not anymore progressive or any less Zionist than any Republican candidate, he is to the right of many of them. [emphasis mine]

You, on the other hand, argued for:

Then again Biden himself is not anymore progressive or any less Zionist than any Republican candidate, he is to the right of many of them. [emphasis mine]

Which is neither valid as a reply, nor is it relevant to the raised issue.

It's like he's trying to lose the election...

Not really, it's also seen as a weird thing done by loners to them. One of the most famous animes in recent times, Overlord, features a WW2-based german character with manerisms and speech reminiscent of a SS officer. Every time they're on screen, the main character nearly dies of embarassment.

I'm not naïve, it's just that you are a bad person whose moral code can't fathom working not for oneself, but for the betterment of the collective.

I already do just that, by the way - study for the sake of knowledge, not for increasing my capital.

You're doing that right now, dear basement troll.

We are socially competitive animals, just as you can observe in other evolutionarily programmed creatures. We compare ourselves to others, we want to impress mates, etc.

All of which can be achieved in a communist system, only instead of "look at my huge paycheck", it'd be "look at all these skills I've acquired thanks to free public education and more free time". People would stop mindlessly showing off innane manufactured waste and start actually acquire useful knowledge.

Communism starves our human impulses to succeed and grow

Nothing about communism forces human impulses to be ignored, unless you mean the impulses we already suppress as sentient beings, such as fucking everything that moves or eating until we literally die.

Capitalism is in no way necessary. It's a poison, a cancer, a virus which at all given times threatens to destroy the fabric of society, all for the next quarter's profit.

And most of the time you'd be right.

I love the Not-Monster™ can on the table.

Man man

Yup. It also instantly supports even the most bizarre and unknown GPUs, like the BGA-only APU HD6310.

You may want to have your physician follow on that. AFAIK, studies show that chemical solutions which destroy the ability to sweat also increase severely the risk of cardiovascular illnesses.

A pattern which he may or may not follow...

Non sequitur, strawman.

A fire causes harm, your opinion on how unpleasant it is won't change that. On the other hand, the only person who could possibly know your own romantic preferences is you.

Humans really are weird. Trying to replace a perfectly fine bio-machinery that developed over Thousands of years with their own steel junk. I dont see why anybody would prefer that gadget over a tree.

Can you plant a tree capable of capturing the same amount of CO2 as those algae in that small a space? How about "refilling" the tree if it happens to die?

Society doesn't have to lock itself to a single solution for countless varied problems. If we're talking about a long, empty walkway, or a park, then trees are a great solution. If we're talking about a small space that must be kept free of obstructions, such as a bus stop, then a sack or box of phytoplankton is much better suited.

Your question isn't entirely a hypothetical - this happened at the dawn of time, when photosynthetic life forms first evolved. First, it won't ever happen again, no matter how good we get at scooping CO2 from the atmosphere. Second, the result is theoretically catastrophic for aerobic life forms, but it's also a negative feedback loop, meaning it self corrects.

Israel isn't even a community of folowers of Judaism - it's a cult of followers of Israel.
