I’m not going to waste my time with someone when I can tell they aren’t asking me something in good faith. You don’t genuinely seem to be interested in what I have to say, you seem interested in trying to one up me so you can feel a sense of superiority and be petty and pretentious about it. It’s the equivalent of having a conversation with a brick wall and just a waste of time. I actually don’t owe you an answer whatsoever, I’m free to express my distaste for capitalism

Since you have seen fit to tell me my reason and purpose, it’s only fair I do the same.

You had no intention to discuss this in good faith the moment you commented. And this is because you know too little on the subject to trust yourself to stand up against even the slightest scrutiny.

You caved after single follow up question. And now you’re blaming me because you lack knowledge of, and commitment to the subject.

Do better.

I mean, I’ve already said I have no interest in proving anything to you so all your words are just falling flat. If you’re looking for feeble debates for circle jerking, I suggest you take your ass back to Reddit cos you won’t be appeased as much here

Okay bud. If it helps- I am profusely sorry for having asked you a question. I didn’t mean to upset you and I will flag you as “sensitive” so as to avoid this mistake in the future.

You have my deep and sincere apologies.

Thank you, I’m glad you have seen the errors of your ways. Many challenge Fingolfin and don’t realize their mistake.

Many challenge Fingolfin and don’t realize their mistake.

Oh, I’m sure they do.
