    Way to intentionally - it has to be at this stage - miss the point I made. Owning things is not bad. There is owning to live and then there’s parading designer clothes and jewelry in front of destitute people in Havana while parading as a socialist. He’s Alex Jones. A little more clever, but in the end he’s just another Alex Jones. And you guys gobble it up.

        You’re right. How can Hassan live and get to work without the Porsche. It’s integral to his subsistence

            It’s not a binary system. You don’t have to be poor to be a revolutionary agent for change. But you don’t need to do it in a Porsche either. You created this false binary and you’re trying to paint me in a corner with it because, in the end, you understand how stupid it is to defend a millionaire twitch streamer that cosplays as a socialist revolutionary. We’ve reached absurd levels of simulacrum where everything is a parody of itself. And here you are, gobbling it all up…but deep down, you know how silly this all is. Whatever you need to escape reality my dude

                You brought up the false dichotomy. But again, I’m not the one pumping for a millionaire twitch streamer. But you do you.

                    I said: he doesnt have to be wealthy to be a socialist. So you replied: why should the revolutionaries starve? As if those are the only two options. I never said anyone has no be poor to be part of the revolution. That’s your interpretation. Not sure that the reading material has to do with your flawed logic…
