    I think people are being extraordinarily polite for something that was clearly debatelord bait.

      To be fair, the sidebar says this is for open-ended and thought-provoking questions. But I can see this place becoming Debate Bro Central if the mods don’t add a rule like “Don’t ask a question if you just want to argue with people over it.”

        It isn’t open ended if the person is asking a question they’ve already made up their mind on lol.

        An open-ended question is more like “are hotdogs sandwhiches or tacos?”

      First off, this was an honest question. Second off, who the fuck have I debated? Maybe others want to debate me but not one person has the addressed the heart of the question. No one person has considered what I’m asking. They go off on diatribes about capitalism is the same as greed or try to posture some other argument.

      I have not debated a single person in this thread nor would I waste my time.

        You asked “is capitalism the problem” and everyone unambiguously said “yes”.

        And even now, you’re saying, “nobody answered the question because they haven’t agreed with my assessment 😣”

        lmao, get over yourself bud. Few here -if any- are on that ‘capitalism would work if that was what we had’ libertarian bent.
