Part of the purpose of debate is to find the holes in an argument so you can fix them. If you don’t understand your weaknesses, you can’t guard against them. That is why people play devil’s advocate.

Especially when your argument is as full of holes as ‘some corporations do horrible things, so clearly making implications about an evil corporation, no matter how wrong, is the right thing to do’.

You picked a side

Yeah. They picked truth and honesty over sensationalism.

Spreading lies about corporations doesn’t help. They’re bad enough anyways; we don’t need to make up stories about them to paint them in a bad light, they’re perfectly capable of painting themselves.

That depends on if they’re reporting LESS money than they actually made, or are reporting MORE money than the shop itself actually took in.

If everything is in cash, you can inflate it pretty easily without raising eyebrows.

Luigi is also, in all probability, innocent.

Which means the Claims Adjuster is still at large.

Only in the sense that taking an ocean cruise makes you a sailor. She’s not an astronaut, she’s a tourist.

Turns out giving him free reign with something that actually has a bigger impact than his own companies had consequences he doesn’t like.

Her.

edit: Ah, I see you’ve already been called out for this. Admittedly that’s why I tend to default to ‘they’ on the interwebs.

I mean… it wasn’t.

Communism means all things held in common. Theft wouldn’t be a thing because everyone owns all property together. Ownership is meaningless.

Every one of those societies only paid lip service to communism - partly because it only works when everyone in the commune knows everyone else and holds each other responsible. It doesn’t work at scale. What those societies really were was “The state owns everything and if you complain about it you get disappeared.”
