    The natural reactions of everyone to everything are bad

    All of them? Some of them? How much humanity will be left if we get rid of everything that doesn’t fit into the system?

    You’re not going to get to your idea of a good system by tearing the current one down, ever.

    I never implied I was intending to tear down the system. Well as long as it remains democratic anyways. A system that can’t change has a shelf life one way or another.

    All I implied is that the current system isn’t good. Not that small changes couldn’t make it better.

      My message was about reforming the system and your response was

      “The system isn’t bad, it’s just that the natural reactions of everyone in the system are wrong”

      It’s hard to see that as anything but advocacy of tearing down the system, which is something far too many people unironically believe.

        You: “I smell great!”

        Me: “I think you smell bad”

        You: “You think an aspect of me is bad, this must mean you think everything about me is bad. You must hate me the most”

        Me: “No… you just need to take a shower.”

        You: “I can’t see how telling me that I am smelly doesn’t mean you hate me.”

        I don’t what to tell you, it’s not that hard to get.

          Me: “The system needs a shower.”

          You: “This entire system is bad.”

          Me: “You’re an idiot to think the system is unshowerable.”

          You: “I was the first person to suggest a shower!”

          You’re a fucking loon, mate.
