I know you can plug it in, but the rapidly depleting battery still really bothers me.

i reckon the disconnect came around the initial labeling. you GOTTA understand it’s not apolitical to call someone a libertarian in your opening line, right?

also you’re literally putting someone in a box as an opener. folks generally don’t like that.

like if this reply started with “par for the course for a centrist”, you wouldn’t think i’m a cool and understanding guy for saying it.

Approach to monopolies is a political thing and that was as free market approach as you can get. Guy self described himself as anarchist in the next comment so I was right to label him that.

if they felt the need to correct you, then your explanation of why they were wrong in doing so isn’t gonna tell me anything other than how stubborn you are.

i’m unsure of who you’re trying to convince what at this point.

I’m not really convincing that guy since I doubt he debates in good faith. He represents American brand of libertarianism - think Elon Musk simps. Old school libertarians like Adam Smith recognised that a free market doesn’t exist without state regulation.

At this point I’m just exposing how childish that American libertarianism is although it seems to be very popular amongst gamers and this community in particular. I don’t mind being inconvenient to people and I know it makes people pause since those mass downvotes say more about them than about me.

i just think you’re assuming a lot from a few comments here.

e:like the line of thinking here, if i’m following, is that since he likes steam he’s JUST LIKE elon musk simps. that’s legitimately crazy.

You are not exposing stuff. You are acting like a childish jerk who stubbornly ignores other people for your own sense of righteousness.

Doubling down and refusing to listen to others does not make you a better person in the long run.

You sound like your main issue is that I don’t attempt to fit in. You’ll have to deal with that.

No I don’t care about that. I don’t fit in either but actively being rude is not just not fitting in but being purposefully rude.

There is a difference and your refusal to acknowledge that is so that you can avoid having to look at yourself and your actions critically.

You don’t have to change but there are repercussions from the existence of others seeing your actions and if you don’t care about them do not expect others to care about you.
