i understand that his stated argument was about how equal societies are, but i think what he was really talking about is the average standard of living

and obviously the us has a better standard of living than vietnam or laos

 

"I agree, capitalism is the problem which is why we need to abolish it so our innovative ideas are no longer bound by capital."

yeah better to put a system in place where you have less freedom to innovate to begin with

trading a system that provides a chance at success for a system that actively discourages success( since everyone must be equal of course ) doesn't seem that sensible to me

 

i mean i just have to marvel at someone sitting at a computer using the internet trying to argue that they are being oppressed by their society 

that's not to say that society is not oppressive but both its oppressive and protective/supportive

He didn't even mention himself in particular, and even if he was, I don't see how having internet and being oppressed are mutually exclusive.

forget that, let me ask you something, why do you use chun li as your avatar consistently?
