If you don't feel like stating your opinion on which country is better off and why, then you could just say that outright or say nothing. You really don't have to go to all of this trouble to pontificate about how it is unreasonable to even consider the matter. ๐Ÿ˜œ

So prosperity for one people is worth any price to you?

I will take from your attempt to throw a "Gotchya!" at me that you acknowledge that you are unwilling to state your own opinion on the matter.

The question itself was a cheap gotcha. Shockingly, it's not as simple as that as I've been pointing out. Which you'd acknowledge if you were arguing in good faith.

It's unfortunate that any attempt to insert some nuance automatically makes me the enemy in your simplistic position on the matter. And now ego prevents you from backing off of this kind of thinking by any means, no matter what toxic and regressive conclusions it takes you to.

If it makes you feel better, you are emphatically not my enemy. ๐Ÿ˜€
