Disagreeing is fine, but fallacious arguments aren't. I feel it's important to be able to understand why you believe what you do, or at least not to expect others to agree with you if you can't. Fallacious arguments are not good reasons to believe something, and outright false ones are even worse.
Holding an opinion I disagree with is fine, it's when you tell me my opinion is wrong and offer only bad reasoning to convince me that it's a problem.
It's bad because of the, like, stalking/prodding people until they engage part of it. Just like JAQing, it starts with a pretense of doing no wrong. This means sometimes it's possible to accuse someone of it when they're acting in good faith because what they said closely resembles others who have acted in bad faith.
I think in my mind trolling has to be perpetrated in bad faith, i.e. your stated intentions and actual intentions are at least different and quite possibly contrary. Doesn't sound like you were trolling.
It is, nonetheless, not without problems. First complaint I usually hear is "wait times" but, when was the last time you needed something major and didn't have to wait? Most places with socialized healthcare don't have obscene wait times, they just have regular ones.
I guess that's the root of it. I don't really understand the mentality of bullies.
Like, the kid who gets picked on and stays picking on the smaller kids when he gets bigger because his home life sucks and that's just always the way it's been for him... I maybe get it, but I don't think anyone thinks that's a good way to be, and they can stop once they start interacting with a better social group and see how it can be better. Right?
Is it really just that but online, or what have you? Idgi
I don't know. I was thinking about, like, bad takes argued for in bad faith, or at least bad form. Constant straw-manning and ad hominems to support an argument like "women are inferior to men" or some other bs
I would be interested to see data on how much capital gains tax is paid by people in whichever (income) tax bracket, or how people's proportion of income tax vs capital gains tax lines up.
Savings interest and such is already taxed as income, no?
Hitting retirement accounts would make investing enough to retire harder, but tax brackets could be set so as to limit this effect (which, again, wouldn't happen) while still capturing an awful lot of real estate sale income. Almost any house in my city has gone up by enough to immediately put you in upper-middle-class range for your income by itself if you bought it even just a handful of years ago, so selling/trading/working in addition to that would tax the sale significantly.
I get that there would be a burden to "common folk" but I would really love to see how much, compared to closing the easy out for richer folk.
As a religious trans person, it's deeply insulting how many anti-trans religious authorities say things like "don't let the world tell you who you are, trust in the voice of God in your own heart" or something, and then go all surprised Pikachu when I'm still trans afterwards.

Biggest and just about onliest problem with nuclear fission is how expensive it is to set it up, both in terms of time and money.
