"Your projecting"
Notice how the statist, when challenged, descends immediately into ad hominem, and mind-reading - i.e. personal abuse?
"he said that if a majority of people vote to protect themselves from pollution, the investor can force us to accept pollution, even if it kills us."
Notice how the statist just *emotes*, rather than engaging in any dialogue of reason?
Tell you what, I'll use the same argument method you are using, imacentristmoderate, and see how you like it. The government can force us to be caged and raped, even if it kills us, and that's what the author is advocating.
There. How do you like it? Does that satisfy your intellectual standards? Because that's the level you're operating at.
You have in no way advanced the discussion beyond my original, devastating, critique:
" All he does is repeat the assumption, over and over again, that investment is a somehow anti-social and undesirable activity, and that governments presumptively know better what investments should be made."
That's all you've done.
You and the author have made no attempt to come to terms with the issues, and show no signs of even recognising what they are.
There is no need for my to re-state my argument, since you and the author have completely failed to answer is, and this invalidates everything the author says.
Until you actually answer the points I make with reason - not just squarking emotions and running evasions about how we're all going to die unless you get your way - you have completely failed to make your case or answer mine
