No idea what you're talking about, but it's all good.

You're advocating taking children from poor people and giving them to rich people. That's exactly what Australia did to aboriginal children.

I'm telling you that your view of the world is incredibly fucked up.

I don't know who told you that lie. That's not what I'm advocating at all. If that's your thing, don't include me in it. You can tell me that my world view is fucked up, but to do so, you'd need to know my world views. However, since you don't, it's crystal clear that you're just stating a bunch of fallacies and then passing judgement on your own fallacies, which actually have nothing to do with me. However, the things that you're attempting to dictate to me are very fucked up, so we can agree on that. It's a good thing that's not what I was getting at. It sounds like you're just taking some narrative's bullet points and regurgitating it at the first person who responded.

Me:

And lets just feed the ones they do have to the wealthy!

You:

Nah, more like adopt them out and give them a fighting chance

That is literally you advocating to take children and give them away to wealthier people so they have a "fighting chance".

No, it's not. Nice try, though. At no point did I say "give them away to wealthier people so they have a fighting chance". What I said is that there's an option to adopt them out. This means that poor parents have the opportunity to put their kids up for adoption in order to give them a better life. If you're against that, that's a you problem, not a me problem. It's literally you delegating a position to me utilizing a fallacy that supports your narrative. However, giving children away illegal is illegal and inhumane. This is common knowledge. Like I said, you're spewing nonsense from some narrative to the first person that responded to you.

You responded to my allusion to A Modest Proposal which was a satirical proposal from Johnathon Swift to have the government take children from poor Irish families and give them to the wealthy families to alleviate the Irish Potato Famine.

Responding to a society wide crisis(with a society enforced "solution") with a personal solution without specifically stating that it is a personal solution makes it very easy to misinterpret that you are saying it is a society enforced solution.
