Thanks for proving my point. ~~Mansplaining can be done by anyone, btw. Not directed at your identity, but what you're doing.~~ Have fun writing the next essay as a reply. I probably won't read it, as I've got a household to manage.

Edit: I changed my mind. Sorry for the gendered term. Should have said "tanksplain" or "MLsplain".

Gotcha, you're just going to double down on name-calling and thought-terminating clichés. I appreciate the removal of the gendered insult, but keeping the insult keeps the main point of issue I take with avoiding a conversation around Marxism.

I'm not avoiding a conversation, I simply have better things to do.

You did, though, back when we were trying to have a conversation. Maybe that was one-sided, and it was only me trying to have a conversation, but then why bother replying to me?

back when we were trying to have a conversation.

You were trying to have a conversation and managed to goat me into replying. Again, I said:

I don't considersit fruitful to argue with such a devout Leninist in a meme community.

but then why bother replying to me?

Because social media has addictive properties and I couldn't help myself. I'm not accusing you of malcontent, but please stop enabling me.

Fair enough, though if you wanted to disengage you shouldn't have written points one would naturally want to engage with in a disengagement comment. Perhaps in the future you can just say "disengage" or otherwise, trying to disengage while also trying to get the last word in pointwise doesn't work.
