Unless you are admitting to not reading any of the previous posts before you replied, you know exactly what it is.
Instead of deflecting, let’s talk about the 10 principles and whether you find them acceptable or not. I understand this might cause some discomfort for you, because for some reason, many leftists like to treat the doctrine of many countries like holy scripture that must not be condemned, or must be interpreted in a certain way. I’m not that kind of religious person, though.
Can you be specific about what fundamental principles of democracy you question? You just said America doesn’t really have a democracy, so you were implying that more democracy would be a good thing.
So you don’t actually believe that? And if that’s the case, why did you signal as if you did? It seems pretty disingenuous to me
Regarding your complaint about the 10 principles, can you demonstrate that they were not translated to your personal preference? And does that mean, as they are written, you do object to them?
I understand that their existence is extremely inconvenient to you, as you are attempting to fall back on liberal identity politics in order to ignore them. But I would prefer it if you didn’t attempt to dodge the question.
Do you believe Hitler ordered the Holocaust? Because you’re starting to remind me of people who deny that.
Do you want to end the conversation by trolling? Is that your signal that you no longer wish to participate in it, as you are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the fact that you can’t deny the existence of North Korea’s cultlike laws?
In other words, you would have a problem with the country telling its people to worship a strong man, but you wouldn’t have a problem with a strong man in general being put at the head of a state?
Do you believe the working class, in general, requires paternalism in order to correctly flourish?
Do you believe vocal criticism of a country’s leader should be allowed or not?
I don’t see why I should go out of my way to post documentation a second time for an internet troll who thinks pictures of animal genitalia is an argument.
You’re continuing to dodge the content of the 10 principles. If you don’t like the translation, post your own. But tell me whether you support them or not.
Okay, so regarding democracy, when you said you didn’t vote to allow a genocide in Gaza, were you saying a vote should have been taken, thus making the United States a more democratic country?
If that’s the case, then we agree that more democracy is good. If that’s not the case, why did you bring it up?
Okay, I’m getting curious now because you are using Nazi talking points. You said you believe Hitler ordered the Holocaust because of the documents proving it… Can you show me your standard for evidence by producing these documents, so I can know how to better suit your requirements?
Stop being disingenuous. “I am personally offended and I refuse to answer your question” is a dodge, not a response.
You just said you were okay with vocal criticism of the government, so how about it? To what degree should people be allowed to vocally criticize their government?
