You have presented a preposterous and completely unjustifiable reading of what I actually wrote, and then demand me to justify it? That's not going to happen, of course.

you don’t have to justify your assertions to me or anyone else, but make sure you can justify them to yourself. have a think about what you said and see how deeply you can support it. you don’t have to reply. you don’t even have to bluster and make accusations. just try and think about it slowly and unemotionally in your own head.

what agenda were you referring to?

who is being deceitful?

what are they trying to hide?

what were the primary tenets of Friedman’s capitalist philosophy?

don’t answer to me, just make sure you have solid answers for yourself

  • I don't have to justify them to myself or anyone else, because they are figments of your imagination that have no basis in anything at all. In all the articles and comments I have written anywhere, I have never before received any response so unhinged from what I actually wrote.

    • some people learn to justify their opinions. some people learn to bluster and accuse and talk about how many articles they’ve written

      are you denying that you claimed this form of capitalism doesn’t prioritise profit above all else?

      are you denying that you made the accusation that some people who disagree with that are lying? you’re aware of what the word deceitful means, I’m sure

      are you denying you claimed those people are lying to serve some agenda?

      if you want to check your answers, those are all things you said in your comment
