I don't look for you, but you're never far away.

This is another example of you being glib and acting like you know a person and their failings with profoundly little evidence.

If you want to be taken seriously at all, work on being able to draw clear conclusions from a body of evidence and then be able to use rhetoric well.

These links (clicked and read) are not all that salacious.

Where there are like-minded people, we like to help. If we can get more like-minded people, that's better.

If it was for free market capitalism, I'd have an issue with our contribution. A lot of this is about the spread of democracy. I don't take issue with that.

Self-determination (including the rejection of democracy) seems fundamental to me. Overall, however, I think socialist democracies make the most sense. Beneficent dictatorships seem like a they're one step away from not being beneficial. Slippery slope thing.

This post, by your definition, has no content.

Do you see the hypocrisy?

You're changing the topic. You demanded citations for an assertion. Felt it was fair to do so. You clearly continue to do so.

When others ask you, you tell them to Google it. Even just a little more effort would be helpful - a good site for reference, author, something...

In the other thread I see your links. Thank you. Substance is good. I'll take a look and see what's up.

That so many people "follow you around" is you misreading that you're pissing off (potential) allies. They're in those communities for a reason.

Be better. No one is "stalking me." And it's not because I hold a lot of popular opinions (some are, some aren't). Why are you being "stalked" for real? It's not the opinion - it is the presentation.

If you were confident and mature, you wouldn't be glib and dismissive, you'd present clearly, with some empathy and rapport building, and you'd find some space for discussion.

Others are also bringing up your complete lack of maturity in the Taiwan thread. Glib is how you galvanize people into an opposing position. Stop being glib.

In the African high speed rail thread, you required citations of others who had opinions you didn't like.

You're doing it here, too. But you won't put in the effort you expect of others.

And you decry hypocrisy.

You are becoming a known agitator and troll. That's never good for a cause you care about. Good work.

Nope. Stop there.

You keep telling other people to do the research and make an argument to you. But you will not do it yourself.

It's a troll move and you have to stop. All you are doing is alienating people. I've begun to wonder if that's what you're here to do.

Or the better.

Two half doors, pocket mount, motors, wifi, and a pshhhhh sound. Oh, and implanted NFC.

Only way to go - Full Star Trek.

The above is one example.

You don't have a high ground, here.

You continue to assert I, or others, are saying things we are not. I have not alleged that the EU is lacking or "wanting."

I'm saying the US is far more diverse than is often credited. People are moving from one state to another because of that very reason. It is a confederation of states, by law. And our SCOTUS is making that more true each year.

I am not saying "parity" but I am saying it's far closer than your broad brush comments.

I may have deleted the post, but I have posted nothing that said the EU lacked diversity nor did I start discussing the various regions of Spain.

I'd have to use it to protect it from all the other private owners of weaponized, advantage-seeking AGI owners.

They will exist.
