      Yeah, that's what happens every time. They're so emotionally engaged with this shit but otherwise totally mentally checked out. They would rather just rage at people trying to help them understand the world than do any sort of careful thought and discussion.

      Uh, yes, it is an argument, whether or not you want to close your eyes to reality. Billionaires do not occur without individuals using concentrations of capital or power to extract large amounts of value from laborers. The wealth inequality in China is very present, due to the fact that it is capitalism.

      You would do well to join the people capable of observing objective reality instead of scouring the web for essays that cite philosophers instead of data. That would require confronting your cognitive biases, though.
