Quote from: 26 June 09:40
Words are how humans communicate ideas. To communicate ideas, words MUST have meanings and definitions. This is why I am a pedantic asshole. Known as Voltaire's Admonition, "If you wish to communicate, define your terms."
Some dumb-fuck illiterate: "Capitalism is bad."
Me: "Define capitalism."
Dumb-fuck illiterate: "Capitalism: Bad."

Dale Eastman I'm not going in circles with you again. I'll define and defend free markets, voluntary exchange, property rights, and your consent, but I'm not going to define something fraudulent and nonsensical.
OCR:
Capitalism is a bullshit word.
Defend your overlords bullshit if
you like.

Are you now going to deny that you have, on multiple occasions, presented your position that "Capitalism is bad"?

Dale Eastman my main contention is it's a bullshit word, which would make it bad. The definitions don't match reality and the plurocrats I abhor swear by it.

Dale Eastman no, bullshit including nonsensical words aren't good mkay?

BM: ➽ nonsensical words
You claim "CAPITALISM", a word you refuse to define, is a nonsensical word.
What, specifically, are the traits, properties, attributes, characteristics & elements of "CAPITALISM" that make it a nonsensical word?
