Re: Indivisible Protests

Honest Heritage Foundation? "Scientific"? You sound like a fool that hopes their ideals will apply to you; they will not. And no one will be left protect you.

For all of America's failings the Declaration of Independence is the base for the liberties we have around the world today.
Our Amendments lay out human rights and they are being violated right now and if we allow it to happen for whatever false sense of security or wish for superiority...the world will be darker for it.

You're attempt to present a case as to why the Index of Economic Freedom isn't one of the most valuable works of modern political science has failed miserably by attempting to deflect attention to my personality, a totally irrelevant concept to this topic, and the sign of a losing argument. Its fine if you have a problem with fact-based comparisons of countries based on objective metrics, but that is how society moves forward.

Anyone with a lot of knowledge and common sense can see that more free countries and successful tend to the top while less free and successful countries tend to the bottom. Can you see that?

I'm very happy for data driven approaches to political science. The Index of Economic Freedom is among the greatest works of political science in existence, and is an excellent objective comparative tool. I am able to talk to you without the name calling, which is a superior communications method.

This thread is about decentralized protests. The topic is protests.
By all means talk to other people who are capable of communicating on your 'superior' level with more common sense than I posses ;-).

While having a superior way of communicating doesn't necessarily make me a superior person to any other person, it does cause other people to be more receptive to my ideas. I agree the topic is protests, so you're warmly welcome to respond in ways that connect back to protests. But, if you bring up something that isn't about protests, such as how superior on person is to another (which is something you brought up), or the Heritage Foundation, since you're the OP, I certainly feel welcome to drift into such topics. While I suppose people might be superior to other people, I'll entirely leave that up to the divine realm to figure out as it is not helpful to mere humans to contemplate that topic which you have brought up. Perhaps putting a full on stop to off-topic ideas without continuing them in any way, shape, or form, is the best way to get back to the core topic. For example, when someone brings up insults as a topic, talking about how they socially rank with others would not help put focus back on the topic, which is protests. You and everyone else is very welcome to discuss with me that topic.
