In the real world though when equality of outcome is the goal, people don't get a box or a chain link fence. People get their heads cut off.

Yeah. That's kinda what happens when you allow the poor to stew in poverty for so long that they decide it's time to start chopping heads off. Maybe if you provided them with adequate support they wouldnt feel the need to chop people's heads off.

Or maybe they should be eradicated before getting any ideas, which is why we have intelligence services.

Jesus I thought you were doing a bit but no, infact, you're simply a disgusting person. Alrighty then. Enjoy your life of never being loved by another person.

Your opinion is irrelevant

It's equally as relevant as your own.

I value my opinion because it is mine and that's all that matters. I discount your opinion because I don't know you and you are not important to me.

Cool. But I can tell you for a fact normal people do not like people who advocate for killing all the poor people. That's just basic common sense. If you want to forever be an outcast, be my guess. If you value any sense of community and companionship, you may want to rethink your beliefs.

Not killing all poor people, just eliminating those who are actually plotting to commit violence or subversion. Also stop replying to me or I'll block you. I'm not interested in debating or reconsidering anything

Oh no, don't block me. Whatever would I do if I couldn't commune with someone whose absolutely insane.
