I’ve been using Firefox for over a decade, and Windows has never complained about it. What are you talking about?

“stop taxing” doesn’t mean stop taxing

calling a lie a lie is ad hominem

Get real.

Liar. This is what I identified as a straw man:

it’s such a serious threat to the country’s financial stability that we should chicken out and stop taxing the rich.

Now quote me “spew[ing] exactly that talking point” that we should stop taxing the rich. You won’t, because you can’t, because I didn’t.

Shameless, pathetic liar.

it’s such a serious threat to the country’s financial stability that we should chicken out and stop taxing the rich.

No one’s saying this, this is a straw man.

It’s just a simple fact that there is a ‘sweet spot’ when it comes to maximizing tax revenue. It’s the same as if you’re selling a product for $10, then 100 people buy it, and you assume that you’ll double your $1000 profit if you sell it for $20 instead, but then the number of buyers went down to 10, and now your bottom line is $800 less, instead.

“Just tax them more” is not the simple/obvious solution it appears to be on the surface. Also, people don’t just not react when stuff like this changes, to protect themselves; just compare tax revenue presently to what it was when it capped out at (iirc) 91%.

And even IF ‘turning that dial’ simply increased tax revenue, it needs to be combined with that revenue being spent productively, for it to make any difference at all. Hell, I think the US already brings in more than enough tax revenue to do everything we want it to do, if it was doing it as efficiently as it could be.

Someone needs to read up on “capital flight”, this is a known phenomenon we’re talking about, not speculation.

Actually civilized countries like China

lol

Assuming you could wave a magic wand and convert their net worth straight into cash 1:1 (you can’t), you couldn’t even do the last thing on that list, much less all the others:

Assuming in the US, using 2023 figures:

• Total combined net worth of all billionaires (remember, you can only “take all their money” one time): $5.2 trillion
• Total annual healthcare cost: $4.9 trillion

Too many people have been deluded into believing that ‘the billionaires’ are capable of easily solving all societal ills if only they gave away their wealth, and aren’t they such assholes for keeping their wealth and not solving them?

Most people are not nearly aware of the actual costs of these things.

Well, the purchase is probably already made by the time this is seen, and for those who see it, they probably just ignore it similarly to EULA popups when installing programs.

When the fuck did Asmongold become the largest POLITICAL streamer?

He didn’t, not even close—the OP just made that up to augment the ragebait level of their post, lol.

and then goes on to say “why would you add people to your country that don’t speak the language” in English and not the native tongue of the tribe that the land was stolen from

The irony of this is that people who are hardline isolationist/against immigration use that having happened as fuel for their argument, because ‘look what happened to the Native Americans when Europeans were able to immigrate en masse’, and they argue that that’s what’ll happen to them if they allow immigration now.

Yeah, the voice someone’s born with is definitely what should be focused on, when it comes to criticism.

I have watch history turned off anyway so I wonder how it’s deciding that I should watch these clips.

This is why, lol. Since his videos are generally popular on YouTube, if you have no watch history for your recommendations to be based on, it’s just always going to feed you whatever’s popular, which will include his stuff.

You’re doing it to yourself, in other words. I actually have watched a couple videos of his in the past, and yet, because it’s rare, I never see his videos being recommended to me. Hell, in my experience, stuff recommended to me is rarely similar to things I’ve seen more than a month or so ago.

You said something stupid, and it was identified as such. That’s not being offended.

Though the fact that you had to assume several things about me personally to rationalize the way you behave, as your ego is apparently just too fragile to conceive of the possibility that YTA, says a lot, and makes me wonder if you’re available in IMAX.

What’s your source on that? Your arse?

Good luck finding a single source in any country that has females being on the receiving end of violence more often than males per capita, overall.

I think you’re an incel who hates women and doesn’t care about violence against them.

That’s because you’re enough of a fool to think caring about male suffering is misogynistic. All I did was point out your deliberate blindness to the suffering of half of humanity, by describing the half that is assaulted and killed less, as the half with the ‘epidemic’ of violence against them.

It’s like when the reaction to 11% of journalists killed the year before being women is to say “stop targeting female journalists”. You’re so deeply sexist that the 89% who are male don’t even land on your radar.

Men don’t deserve empathy.

You’re sexist scum.

You know what else is an epidemic? Violence against women and girls

Men and boys are victims of violence at an order of magnitude greater frequency, you just don’t care because you hate males, so only female suffering bothers you.

Misandry isn’t a problem compared to misogyny, and likely wouldn’t exist if there was no misogyny

This is what peak anti-male sexism looks like.

“Who cares?” Yeah, not your pathetic, empathy-free ass, you’ve made that abundantly clear.

For shame.

need a large gender affirming car

???

This is a projection of your own brainrot sexism, nothing more.

Don’t try to make it sound like you ever mocked a woman for having a large car, either, you’re not fooling anyone with “people”, lol.

Yeah, pretty massive fundamental difference, lol.
