I remember you talking about the US being crony capitalist/corporatist, but it seems like you're defending it right here. Do you think it's a meritocracy, or do you not?

I make a playful sarcastic comment and you think I support a system that I am strongly against. I can't even...

Also, the whole context of that post was me stating that corporations should not influence politicians and the government should be more of a referee that punishes companies that cheat/break the law and break up monopolies in order to maintain a meritocracy so the corporations don't just sit on their laurels. This is why proofreading and context, both aspects where you are not well-versed at, are important.

I know your context from what you've posted, because I've seem to become a favourite of yours and so I read of lot fo your responses to me. The first time we spoke to each other was over discrimination in the United States, and you made it clear that you don't think that certain groups are disciminated against by the United States government, so if you believe that systematice discrimination does not exist I'm not exactly sure what you're opposing. Also, I don't believe that you're strongly against the system: you don't want capitalism abolished, you don't want wealth to be redistributed, you don't (to my knowledge) want the liquidation of the United States, etc.
