Here’s the difference between you and me: you’re making Utilitarian arguments, and I’m making moral and constitutional arguments.
Utilitarianism is a godless ideology. It has an appearance of wisdom on the surface, but it never works out in the long run. Why? Because God decreed at the beginning of the creation that you would reap what you sow. All things reproduce after their kind.
Doing what is right may look likely to be “unsuccessful” in the short term, but it always wins in the end, if prosecuted to the end by men and women of principle and courage.
As for the Utilitarian strategy you, and American politicians like Walker, continue to promote, we already know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it doesn’t work.
But look, if forty years of obvious utter failure won’t convince you of that, most likely nothing I can say in by brief time on this thread is likely to make any difference in your thinking.

Here’s another difference. Our arguments are actually making progress and your arguments amount to spitting into the wind.
Before you can make change you first have to get people to listen to you, and when you disparage the people who should be your allies in the fight, you pretty much shut that possibility down at the outset.
Enjoy life up on there on the mountain....alone.

Yes, you can be pretty certain of that given the insults you’ve cast already, so please don’t bother.
