sealioning. Nothing in my post is remotely close to sealioning. how convenient for you to bleat "sealion" rather than address what I actually said. If you think what I said was sealioning, you dont know what sealioning is Also, why do you always do this? Its not an argument, adhominem, it adds nothing to the conversation, it just makes you look bad. Are you trying to assert your superiority or something? The current unrest in Spain followed the death of 87 year old Maricarmen Abascal from her apartment of 70 years. The investment firm who bought the property in 2018 cited a legal loophole allowing it to raise her rent from €500 to €2,650. It subsequently lowered the new rent to €1,650 but Maricarmen was still unable to pay it with her monthly pension of €1,350. The firm's ruthless response was to have her evicted. Maricarmen, already in fragile health, was carried out on a stretcher to a hospital where she died. This led to tens of thousands taking to the streets in anger over the capitalist system in which the most ruthless and greedy get to accummulate the most resources and wield the most economic power, and in which profit is put before people and planet. It is a system that is consuming the world, and it must be stopped. This is absolutely irrelevant to what I said, does not refute what I said, and does not address what I said. Which is that capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than any other system. That fact that you can point to one person that the system did not work well for, does not refute the fact that capitalism has pulled more people out of poverty than any other system. Do you actually understand logic, reason and evidence? |
