east germany is your example of a place where capitalism didn't involve mass brutality and slaughter?

"you think that our economic system could use changes therefore you like mass murder" is an interesting tack, bet communists find it really compelling

lmao

bill people believe anything you put here esq @polearmguy.bsky.social · 1d

an example of what, people meaning proselytize?

bill people believe anything you put here esq @polearmguy.bsky.social · 1d

the nebulous claim I made was that people, when saying proselytize, mean proselytize. that's my claim.

bill people believe anything you put here esq @polearmguy.bsky.social · 1d

prove to me that's not what it means, etc

bill people believe anything you put here esq @polearmguy.bsky.social · 1d

prove to me when you say "genuine example" you don't mean "personal identifying information" which is what I decided that means for no reason

bill people believe anything you put here esq @polearmguy.bsky.social · 1d

why would anyone give you an example to prove to you they weren't meaning something other than what they said? do you have a reason to think that?

Oh my god man have you ever spoken to a human being before
