      If Nestle bought the property to your town’s water supply, and sold it back to you for a profit, that would still be for the greater good?

        If it means jobs at Nestle, income for the government from a large corporation that otherwise wouldn’t exist in a developing nation, and increased standard of living nationwide? Yes, absolutely.

              The subject was Nestle, you replied that you would support them despite crimes; ie, you support child slavery. Just read about it man. Yes, I’m a degenerate, idiot , fuckup of a man; and should probably suffer and die a horrible death. Just learn.

                I know more than you, and yet have not insulted you at all. You made that up

                  You think because you have an unpopular opinion, your friends are wrong, never trying to understand why. I was self deprecating to disarm your ego, to no avail. Everyone else is wrong, you are right. Now convince your friends that Nestle is the pinnacle of the free market. Good luck.

                    everyone else is wrong. You are right

                    I corrected your comma splice in the quote but yes, generally. It’s a consequence of actually looking things up all the time

                  Sorry, replies are not working right. It is all my fault, all of it. Sometimes people do the the wrong thing, we’re not monoliths.

                  You quoted yourself quoting me? I was just trying to help you understand why your friends dislike Nestle, but you seem hostile. You should explore why?

                    No, I quoted you. I fixed your splice in the quote.

                    I haven’t been hostile toward you whatsoever.

                  You can have all the quotes. Just stop embarrassing me with your intellect. It’s unassailable and frightens me.

                    Idk why you’re trying to “stock internet argument” this whole thing, but this conversation is 100% your doing. Also you’re not even responding to the comments you clearly intend to be responding to.
