It’s not just a matter of avoiding it, I have been signed up for prime on days I didn’t eve use Amazon. The system will sign you up on its own.

Also you have automatically been signed up and charged for Prime.

I’m reminded of children in grade school who “I know what that means, I’m just not going to explain it to you.”

Okay. You’re a lot of talking for someone who doesn’t want to say anything.

With well-reasoned and nuanced principles supported by vast experience.

How do you not choke on your irony?

Who do you think you’re actually reaching?

Simply naming fallacies isn’t teaching. The point of learning fallacies isn’t so that you can just name them and feel like you’ve made a point.

You forgot about laws.

No I didn’t

You literally just break up grocery store companies and stop them from merging in the future.

Oh, so you mean LAWS?

“only the market can fix this”

Gestures broadly at the market

Multiple competitors just results in them all agreeing to raise prices when taxes are lowered.

Out of curiosity, how do you propose increasing the number of competitors? Or is this a situation of “gee, that would be nice. Oh well, I guess nothing can be done.”?

literally the only mechanism

You forgot about laws.

It doesn’t matter how much competition there is of they’re all going to do it anyway.

Good. Now go be better.

You’re defending a poster who posted a meme that wasn’t very good.

Spend your time however you like, but you’re spending a lot of time on this to be questioning how other people spend their time

“The last guy got killed in the street for doing this shit, you’re going to do the exact same shit right?”

This meme is astroturf propaganda to try to discourage the working class. There are plenty of stories of insurance companies reversing their decisions and approving procedures that they had denied the day before, or not going through with plans to reduce coverage.

That is what happens when the 1% are reminded that they are outnumbered 99 times, and that those with nothing to lose have nothing to fear.

(you’re not helping your case)

“I’m very careful about who I dehumanize so it’s okay.”

“I’m a rational person, and as a rational person I think it’s normal to dismiss people with opinions I don’t like as unthinking automations because it’s impossible for me to consider that someone else might legitimately disagree with me.”

That would be fucking glorious. We’ve already seen the rule of law not apply to politicians and the rich. Let’s see how they like when it doesn’t apply to common folk either.
