You sound like an idiot.
I'd say it's more butterfly effect than Rube Goldberg. A Rube Goldberg would be engineered with the intent and goal of shooting and killing you. Anyone who has made one can attest to the time and effort and focus needed to get it to accomplish its goal (which in this case is killing you).
Gates' actions are not intended to kill you. Just to make himself rich. You are just collateral damage.
I mean it's still about as moral as burning down the Amazon rainforest to make some money, but Bill Gates isn't setting out with the goal to murder you specifically. Unless you slept with his wife or something.
So you go into a conversation about a modern topic where the modern definition of terms is a particular thing, and then you said "well ackshually the definition of this in 1780 was this so you're wrong".
I don't think anyone cares what the definition of left and right are in 1780s France and it has no bearing on a modern discussion of these terms.
I also don't get why it matters. Who cares where it originated? What is the point of any country wasting time with the blame game. Unless it was an engineered virus (it wasn't) it's a force of nature that could have started anywhere.
How does making a false statement help?
I have never read a more nonsensical piece of logic in my life.
Nah centrism is also bad. There's really only one good small wedge of the horseshoe.
Leads to the same amount of suffering and oligarchy so yes.
They are the same picture.
This stethoscope diagram just reeks of a rebranding attempt similar to how Libertarians were adamant that they were not just Republicans yet somehow still only voted Republican and would support Republicans in all things even if it explicitly went against libertarian doctrine.
Horseshoe theory is more accurate. Hard left is tankies. Tankies are hard left.
You read what I said.
Yup but they are not self-aware enough to realize that hard leftism is actually right-wing
There's also:
"Leftist" insisting on "both sides".

I don't get what I'm not supposed to comprehend. I suppose you can say I'm not comprehending.

The best laser printer is a Brother laser printer from 10+ years ago before the cartridge subscription bullshit.
I landed one for $5 on Craiglist and have it connected through a CUPS server so I still have the modern ability to print from any device on the network.
The previous generation said the same but about googling or stack overflow. The previous previous generation than that said the same but about using the library or books. The previous previous previous generation said the same but about using cave drawings or clay tablets.
Justice Department will switch its focus on voting and prioritize Trump's elections order, memo says
There's too much to be concerned about at this point that it's a waste of time to keep following what's happening. We can just assume literally the worst and it's likely to be true.
