Yes ignore the fact that fusion has been under development since early 2000's by how many countries? But point out 1 country working off of partial plans from the 1960's. Yep that means its a total failure....

If there was as much money put into MSR as fissiob the world would be using them as the defacto reactors seriously what a stupid argument

So I'm not saying one is better then the other because I don't think I'm informed enough to make that call. I'm just curious about what your opinion is. I honestly just want to see progress made in energy generally.

No, I'll step in here. MSRs are a boondoggle. I'll put in a more detailed comment above.
