    Can you please quote where I [made a claim about the USA]?

    Smug status quo liberals like you phrase their bad faith questions like that all the time, but just in case you will surprise me, here.

    [lots of quotes]

    I’m sorry, I don’t see where I explicitly mentioned the USA in those quotes.

    Was it “A large part of the world’s population”? (Note that it doesn’t say “the entire world’s population”.)

    You are obnoxiously ignorant of living situations outside of your own to the point that you prescribe maintaining the status quo to people you don’t know that don’t live anywhere near you do. You made the extraordinary claims, not me.

    okay

    Again, your ignorance is showing, paired once again with your arrogance.

    sure

    It is not working for most other people

    Again, I never claimed that capitalism is well implemented everywhere. I only claimed that

    it can work well without UBI

        goalpost moving […] is exactly what I got from you

        I’m not sure whether you believe to be arguing without moving goalposts. Do you want me to tell you about some goalposts you moved? (E.g. asking me to apply my statements regarding Germany to all countries, including the USA.)

        all to justify unlivable wages

        Oh, the people in Germany (whom I was talking about all along) are living just fine.

        the status quo is shit and failing far more people in the world right now than it is benefiting

        Perhaps. Good thing I never claimed the status quo to be successful in all countries.
