    I thought you made the “capitalism to life”-change to point out that not only capitalism but all life will end eventually so it’s ok.

    And stop incorrectly using the word strawman.

    Well, wikipedia says:

    A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.

    That’s what you did. The argument was “capitalism (and growth) is natural” and you made it into “life isn’t limitless because there is no eternity” and you’re still not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. The former is a common argument, the latter is just stupid.

    You made so much progress, don’t regress now that you’ve reached your next misunderstanding.

    Don’t talk down to me! Try to understand my point or fuck off!

      “capitalism (and growth) is natural”

      Where is this ever stated or implied?

      Don’t talk down to me! Try to understand my point or fuck off!

      It’s not my comprehension that’s lacking. So as you say:

      Try to understand my point or fuck off!

        I’ve tried to explain you why I misunderstood you and where you are wrong but you’re just being a dick. Go fuck yourself

          I’ve tried to explain you why I misunderstood you and where you are wrong. I still misunderstand you but now I just want to tell you you’re wrong because I lack the capacity for self reflection and my capacity for cognizance has slipped and I’m left with nothing but ignorance and belligerence to throw, just being a dick. Go fuck yourself.

          Ftfy.

          When you decide you want to return to developing understanding I’ll be awaiting your questions, not your statements.
