    I’m not going to extend the hand of friendship to someone who wants me and 2/3rds of my family and friends dead just because they aren’t oligarchs.

            No you aren’t. You started with a flase premise and seem to think you have to only answer.

            If you think you’re right, go be about it. Be an example.

              Adhominous contradiction falls a little short of refutation, but maybe you’ve something there but did not share it because you believe your assertion, contrary to my invite, that I’m not happy to hear any refutation.

              You started with a flase premise

              Where?

              and seem to think you have to only answer.

              That’s amusing. If you’re willing to entertain the idea, … that sounds like projecting, contrary to the present evidence. Me with an open invitation to more perspectives, and you seeming to bark that down in apparent certainty to know otherwise.

              If you think you’re right, go be about it. Be an example.

              Implying I’m not walking the talk? Right now? Please do help make that clear where there’s grit in my eye, or what’s in my blind spot, because I’m only seeing as far as I’m seeing, and so merely alluding to there being something falling short in some way, is of null benefit, without saying what it is. Otherwise… kinda just looks like narcissistic insecurity attacking others with pompous airs of superior virtue thinly veiled over gaslighting and misdirection.

              I don’t think I’m right. That’s the point. Humility avails curiosity. Ride it long enough, enough discoveries come to dispel certainty, especially naive realism. Or so says my naive ascertainment thus far. Exceptions abound, to every premature generalisation. And isn’t that all we ever have? And there’s always more?
