You can't accuse people of sealioning in a conversation you chose to participate in; it's not sealioning to expect you to actually back up your assertion.

Ultimately, I will get told I don't understand economics until I've read all three volumes of Das Kapital. Ironically, it's no different that libertarians saying you don't understand economics unless you've read the works of Milton Friedman, or more importantly, Ayn Rand.

You literally, not figuratively, just made up an argument to refute. Want to talk about reddit debate fallacies, how about straw men.

No, because Hexbear users don't debate in good faith so it's a waste of time.
