If they even did it. This is over a screenshot of a spreadsheet, not the spreadsheet itself, making it even easier to fake if someone was out to get them in trouble. I could make a pic of a spreadsheet claiming to be by BrikoX and doublejay1999 with maybe a minute of work in MS Paint.

Sexual aggression is illegal in the UK? That sounds pretty boring, ngl.

I don't think you understand how insurance works.

The article you linked has at least 3 different kinds of socialism that satisfy "democratic" socialism:

Democratic socialists have promoted various different models of socialism and economics, ranging from market socialism, where socially owned enterprises operate in competitive markets and are self-managed by their workforce, to non-market participatory socialism based on decentralised economic planning.[127] Democratic socialism can also be committed to a decentralised form of economic planning where productive units are integrated into a single organisation and organised based on self-management.[22]

What definition do you mean by it?

Capitalism with a strong safety net sounds like you're avoiding the question. The question is how to replace capitalism, not how to improve it.

How are you defining democratic socialism? Usually when I ask people to define socialism they answer with capitalism with extra undefined steps whereby the set of employees of a business is legally forced to be equal to that business's set of owners. I'm not familiar with "democratic" as a modifier to the term, though.

Step 1: Think of a viable alternative.

No-one has yet achieved step 1, which makes subsequent steps harder. It's easy to get your hands on people who will answer with magical thinking, but a system that will actually work and isn't capitalism has yet to be invented.

Do you have to support all of a nation's laws in order to support said nation? E.g. can you patriotically protest a law you think is unconstitutional?

Chiropracty isn't "scientific".

We could always embrace capitalism by getting rid of corporations, like as a concept. They're a fundamentally anti-capitalist idea.

That's not true. You don't have to ask someone to stop committing defamation before suing them for defamation.

Does it count as a tell when it's irrelevant? Everything Trump says is a lie. You can tell he's lying because his lips are moving. The addition of the word "Sir" doesn't change anything.
