I've never made any claims I know. I've only raised questions about yours. And I submit I am at least as technically qualified as you are.
I just never thought that gave me any special qualifications.
Your opinions about how societies should be put together coincide precisely with the the specifications you feel would be most aggreeable to you personally. In other words, you want everyone to live exactly the way you want to live. And you seem totally incapable of even visualizing that.
Now can you see why I find your politics so questionable? I'm not sure YOU know what you want out of life, why should I even consider you deciding for me?
Think about that. Don't assume what is obvious to you must necessarily be the same for anyone else, much less everyone else. People who think that way tend to believe everyone else is a fool, or a villain. They wind up underestimating others, and overconfident of their own judgement. It's a recipe for catastrophe.
Remember what happened at Tacoma Narrows.
