Germany's Left Party wants to halve billionaires' wealth (www.dw.com)

The Left Party says "there shouldn't be any billionaires." With Germany gearing up for an election, the far-left force has launched a new tax plan — though it will most likely never get a chance to implement it.

Nope, it is bad-faith.

Person A: it is important to teach Russia a lesson so they think twice about invading.

Person B(you): that is easy to say when you are in no danger.

That is a strawman. You are right that it is easy to say something like that when not in danger, but this doesn't mean it is not important to have Ukraine stand up to Russia.

After that you just waffle about stuff you wanted to say anyway.

...no Patrick, pointing out problems in your argument is not bad faith or a strawman.

If you think its important, stop being a fucking sniveling coward and go fight. You people have no problem invading brown, black, and Asian people that threaten your master races rule over the world, but since it's someone that can fight back you want to sacrifice someone else to do it.
