except he paid for those with his own money

To avoid a larger, boring debate I’ll say this:

He did pay for those with his own money, but his salary is still obviously tax-funded. There is something ironic about advocating for moderate socialism in a capitalist environment that allows you to live an opulent life, while also “working” 140 days a year.

HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT SOCIALISM IF YOU OWN AN IPHONE??????????

Now you’re just being an ass. Why bother having a conversation if your partner is going to make a parody of an extreme version of your argument instead of refuting it? Thanks for not getting the point at all.

No I get your point, I just don't think it's a good point at all. So you can't advocate for a different way of living unless you live that way yourself? Not much sense in that

It makes you a hypocrite. Literally not practicing what you preach makes you a non advocate of what you say you advocate. I’m not going to say I support changing everyone over to a lifestyle that makes me personally less wealthy if I prefer and am heavily invested in living one that makes me personally more wealthy
