someone on the street working in a factory for minimum wage isn't going to become a billionaire without connections, especially familial ones. inheritance is a bitch.


The circumstances of four people's wealth does not justify the murder of tens of thousands though.

So you agree that it's wrong for marxists tankies to want to murder innocent people and their families based on nothing but figures of wealth, but you're going suggest it be done anyway?

They're defending hispida laughing at the fact people can be financially successful at laugh. Hispida in their signature is marxist, and that ideology by it's own values advocates for violent revolution where the wealthy "bourgeoise" are killed to enable "wealth redistribution" .

Or did you think the revolution would be bloodless?

I was scoffing at a tankie because I know of proponents of that ideology with social followings who're as cringe as Qanon these days.

You know what'd be keen, though? If we just confined ourselves to the things people actually say and not your extrapolations into some broader somethin' or other. I'm not about to argue with you about an opinion you've assigned to another poster. That would be bananas.

Not how the burden of proof works. You claim it is a biased kangaroo court with trumped up charges, you prove it.

Your deflection does not help your case.

In a court of law one side argues and shows their evidence of proof according to them. The other side argues and shows their evidence of proof according to them. At times the jurors listening to the arguments, counter arguments and evidence of proof and counter evidence of proof, cant decide the case, it is called a Hung Jury. So if I have to prove it to you, the way you ask me, you have to prove it to me, the way you ask me. It works both ways, not just one way, it works both ways. and I am not God to prove it to you the way you ask me too. SL once asked me to prove certain Trump charges the way you do, previously I provided SL with my comments, links and video links. But SL dismissed my original, posts, video links and comments, based on this or that, as I expected. I posted to SL, I am not God to prove it to you the way you ask me too, and other comments, I did not post to you on this post.

So you have no evidence that this is a kangaroo court with trumped up charges. As a result we are free to dismiss your claims of such without needing to present evidence otherwise. Because if you had the evidence you would have presented it here rather than resorting to rambling and repetitive deflections.

Besides, we also know you don’t actually care about kangaroo courts and trumped up charges given how much you went on and on about Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden.

I have posted many times my comments and video links of lawyers, saying in affect these are Trumped charges by the leftist Democrats against President Trump who is a Republican. I think you saw them. Since you will not provide your side of it, like they do in a US Court of law, the sane way you ask me too, I am and we are free to dismiss your claims, you have posted many comments even to me, on Trump guilty, without proving your case to me and us Republican Trump supporters, where you go on and on about President Trump, so we are even.
