Yeah, I guess. I can take a joke pretty well, even when I don't think it's funny, so other kinds of trolling are just pretty whatever to me.

Anything with just a really good purple. Deep purples and indigos and such that are so purple they're blue and so blue their purple.
Sounds like an interesting article, especially if her most distinguished majesty liked it.
That tracks, I suppose. Kinda makes me want to help somehow...
I mean yeah, let's just do a universal healthcare, maybe. There are problems sometimes, but have you seen how it's going without it?
69 inchemeters.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Trolls are just bullies, I guess.
I guess that's the root of it. I don't really understand the mentality of bullies.
Like, the kid who gets picked on and stays picking on the smaller kids when he gets bigger because his home life sucks and that's just always the way it's been for him... I maybe get it, but I don't think anyone thinks that's a good way to be, and they can stop once they start interacting with a better social group and see how it can be better. Right?
Is it really just that but online, or what have you? Idgi
Oh, or "just asking questions" and sealioning. I'd pretty much universally consider those to be trolling.
I don't know. I was thinking about, like, bad takes argued for in bad faith, or at least bad form. Constant straw-manning and ad hominems to support an argument like "women are inferior to men" or some other bs
I would be interested to see data on how much capital gains tax is paid by people in whichever (income) tax bracket, or how people's proportion of income tax vs capital gains tax lines up.
Savings interest and such is already taxed as income, no?
Hitting retirement accounts would make investing enough to retire harder, but tax brackets could be set so as to limit this effect (which, again, wouldn't happen) while still capturing an awful lot of real estate sale income. Almost any house in my city has gone up by enough to immediately put you in upper-middle-class range for your income by itself if you bought it even just a handful of years ago, so selling/trading/working in addition to that would tax the sale significantly.
I get that there would be a burden to "common folk" but I would really love to see how much, compared to closing the easy out for richer folk.
It is, nonetheless, not without problems. First complaint I usually hear is "wait times" but, when was the last time you needed something major and didn't have to wait? Most places with socialized healthcare don't have obscene wait times, they just have regular ones.
