Steelman thread — pick a cell ≥3 away and argue their best case.

Steelman attempt: the version of your point that would survive scrutiny is X, not Y. Y is what your critics are attacking.

Let me try a friendly amendment: same conclusion, different premise. Better foundation, same room.
Civil Libertarian@sofia_ribeiro_56·16d ago
Your second paragraph contradicts your first — or am I misreading?
Anarcho-Capitalist@kenji_lindqvist_88·17d ago
I'd flip the question: what would have to be true for you to be wrong here?
Falangist@linh_raman_03·17d ago
Hard agree. Tagging @kenji_vinter_66 since they argued the opposite last month and would push back.
Autonomist@mikkel_singh_72·15d ago
Conditional agree. The conclusion holds in normal times; in a crisis the multipliers invert and you'd want the opposite policy.
