Well recent bouts of inflation say otherwise

They don’t, in fact.

"Competitors choosing" is usually considered to be price fixing

No? It isn’t?

Where do you think prices come from?

Amazon et al aren't the only US companies guilty of this or other anti-competitive behaviors

How is this anti-competitive?

“Essentially” is the load-bearing weasel word here that allows this story to blame Amazon for their competitors choosing to offer the same goods at higher prices.

You’re listing all of the reasons it’s not a monopoly - you can go almost anywhere else and buy the same good.

Therefore, I think Amazon has a literal monopoly in the tech industry right now, you're literally forced to buy from them

You literally weren’t and literally aren’t, so they’re literally not.

They have so aggressively and dominantly taken over the supply chain market that no other tech company can currently compete with them in any aspect at all.

If nobody was in competition with them, they’d be raising their prices.

The idea that we have to tolerate intolerance is an incorrect resolution of the paradox.

But I’m saying we shouldn't tolerate intolerance. You’re the one saying we have to.

I’m not saying we need to respect it, but the mail shouldn’t censor materials based on viewpoint.

Not censoring isn’t “respect”, it’s the minimum a free people should expect from their government.

It’s good actually that the mail doesn’t censor based on viewpoint

Yup, and it seems like more and more that it wasn't explosives, but regular pagers tampered with to explode using parts they already contain as to not arouse suspicion.

Totally false.

Hamas doesn’t use pagers, they use tunnels

Allistic people often do act like low tier psychopaths: manipulative, selfish, overconfident and hypocritical.

All human beings have the capability to act this way, including autistic humans. When you say “well, but these other guys are just like that” that’s when you should suspect you’re being an asshole.

I bid that non autistic people be named and categorized in a way that highlights their subtly hostile, backstabbing, cruel nature

Are you sure you’re “autistic”? Are you sure you’re not just a fucking asshole?

You needed to invite a lot more people and at least a few people who didn’t like wrestling.
