"Why don't you start a company like Amazon yourself then?"
"Communism killed 1.000.000.000 billion people!"
"Socialists always run out of other people's money!"
... and a thousand more idiotic talking points and soundbites like this. I think we all get them from libs and chuds all the time.
Of course you can refudiate them with logically sound arguments, citing serious scholarship and reliable sources. Like some nerd.
They're never going to listen to that anyways or check out the walls of text you're referring to. These soundbites are not meant as serious argument. They are thought terminating clichés appealing to the "common sense" created by decades of propaganda. They work emotionally, not logically.
So the response should not be logical. The response should be emotional. Short witty comebacks that makes the libs and chuds look ridiculous.
I'm wondering if there is some resource for these kinds of comebacks to use as inspiration. If such a resource doesn't exist shouldn't there be a place where we could share our responses to the common BS we face again and again?
In response to the communism killing so many people I would state that "socialism / communism is about working together for the benefit of all members of society. Capitalism is all about individuals focusing on their own personal gain and ignores what is best for society as a whole. Which system intuitively causes the most suffering, especially due to greed?"
It may not be a perfect statement but it's simple and clear to understand.
