    how can i break this into the abstract for you? Your complaint is: Look at how this feature of the system is abused by this small group. My explanation is: Look at how this feature of the system benefits society, and is used by the system en large. your argument is disingenuous because you are presenting the small group as society en large.

      The hell is that your takeaway? No offense but are you a little dense after your disability mate? Or maybe have Dyslexia? If so I can switch to Dyslexia Type for you so it’s easier to read.

      What is the “feature” here you’re talking about? Tax deductions? Parks? You and your community didn’t build the damn parks for tax deductions - at least, at no point in your story do you mention you and others got a tax deduction from it. None of you paid someone to do it to then get a tax deduction. You said it was built literally by yourselves. Either way, this isn’t really about the damn dang parks anymore. Do you just skim over the other example I mentioned multiple times? Maybe need new reading glasses? It can be hard to notice when vision starts getting blurry nearby, I understand, so maybe you just actually missed it.

      I’m also literally explaining what the comic is most likely about. Both with it featuring Lions and the title “Tax Deductions”, and how it’s not pro-libertarian.

      The Lion’s Club is small but it also isn’t btw. It’s a global club.

        you, uh, should choose words better. “i’m angry so your disability must have made you stupid” is pretty ableist

          I’m trying to accommodate for any disability you might have, assuming good faith argument, which is the opposite of ableist. Because the alternative at this point is that you are discussing in bad faith.

          Now, if you could clarify, what “feature” are you even referring to?
