The west later admitted that they wanted the war though.

The West did not admit that they wanted the war.

Spreading out stock purchases across the market guarantees returns over the long run.

No it doesn't.

Quantum mechanics is unintuitive. Appealing to intuition is not an argument, it's avoiding bothering with an argument.

"Dozens of tons of cocaine worth several billion euros have been taken out of circulation,"

Which achieves nothing.

In the past, the common response to the idea was, "So, rocks are conscious?" This argument was meant to illustrate the absurdity of panpsychism.

To me, this response does not illustrate any absurdity in panpsychism.

That doesn't surprise me.

Lack of economic growth is not failure.

governance is important to not have a space filled with awful people

Snigger They think there are people who aren't awful.

Probably the most egregious behaviour is declaring different terms and conditions for sales and pre-orders after a person has handed over their money, particularly changing the terms around refunds. Literal Vader "pray I do not alter it any further". And illegal. Refunds in general have been a nightmare for customers with many making a complaint to the Attorney General of California which seems to have been the only way to get money back.

Check r/purism on Reddit if you want to see lots of examples of their shady behaviour.

This isn't news.

The fediverse cannot now be made that because the fediverse is already that.

If you ask in earnest, you’ll get good responses.

This is not the case. Every time I've asked in earnest, I've faced mobs of lunatics.

Do they genuinely believe the shit they're peddling or are they paid propagandists or is their something more nefarious afoot.

From my interactions, I've come to the conclusion that they're mostly seriously broken people who've discovered Marx, convinced themselves that capitalism is the cause of all suffering and believe socialism is the solution that will free them from their trauma. The degree of their attachment to socialism is a reflection of the degree of their suffering and brokenness.

If they weren't so toxic, they'd be deserving of compassion and forebearance.

Thanks but I meant links to your posts :-) Or more specifically, the communities you post to with anti-regime info. I looked through your profile but I couldn't see where you were posting such things beyond World News.

Because you claim that the main reason that the UK left the EU was because: democracy above everything.

I haven't claimed that.
