Rich, you’re not actually offering analysis—you’re just cosplaying as a public intellectual with a borrowed worldview. Everything you wrote is just repackaged ideology from someone louder, richer, or more shameless than you.

Because I'm positive you don’t have a real opinion on any of this. Nah, what you have is a reflex. You see the word “socialist,” vomit up a history book body count, and hope no one notices you skipped the actual debate. There’s no policy critique here, no substance—just a stitched-together Frankenstein of Reddit contrarianism, Twitter culture war bait, and Substack-pilled smugness.

You write like someone trying to impress the smarter bullies in your ideological circle. That’s why you can’t help but toss in half-baked cultural references—Mein Kampf, Intifada, gulags—whether they fit or not. You desperately want people to think you’re smart, but all you’re really doing is regurgitating the same cold takes we've all seen and heard.

Btw, your AI avatar is the perfect touch: a face that looks thoughtful, brooding, maybe even principled. Except just like your arguments, it’s not real. It’s an aesthetic. A placeholder for an identity you don’t have because your entire personality is an RSS feed of someone else’s grievances.

Have a shitty day my guy.

this is clearly an ai generated reply.

Sees an email dash and jumps to AI instead of refuting anything that I said. Sorry buddy, you don't need AI to break down the fact you have no idea what you're talking about.
