You really didn’t. You made some vauge statment about being a ‘taxpaying member of society.’ When Im in Canada I pay (sales) tax and follow thier (societal) laws. And vice versa. You can be a Canadian working in the US, integrating into our society, and paying (dual) income tax without citizenship… Granted there are tax credits to retroactively return some of the double-taxing… Also, a 16 year old in the States can work a taxable job, should they vote? Theres nuance to be had.
I think it’s fair to say that you like having a system where entry to vote is as low as possible. However, way back to the beginning, it says nothing about being knowledgeable or virtuous. If anything it insinuates that you don’t actually respect the two. Or you just belittle your own knowledge and virtue.
No, it’s not fair to say that at all. I’ve stated nothing about my personal beliefs beyond saying that what Elon is suggesting is stupid. You are trying SO HARD to put words in my mouth it’s hilarious.
This entire conversation only makes a lick of sense to me if I assume you are on the spectrum, so I’ll give you some grace and we can both move on with our lives. Before you scream “ad hominem attack!!11,” you need to have a position for me to ignore that and attack you instead. But you have no position.
You seem like the kind of guy that needs the last word, so go ahead. I’ll stop replying.
