We appreciate good faith questions and engagement at Lemmygrad. If that is why you are here, welcome; we do not want to put you off. However, your question/post/comment includes problematic claims/statements that are not conducive to good faith discussion. The problem might be: anti-communism, historical inaccuracy, revisionism, reactionary talking points, bigotry, liberal propaganda, a loaded question, assuming that we will all agree about what you might think are uncontroversial facts, or something else. If you re-word your question we can have a more productive conversation.

No, you don't. You've seen the negative score on my question, right? And the various replies I got attacking me for asking it?
False. It is a question with no claims in it; the only claim I make not in the original post is that I can be credibly accused of presupposing workers can get rich.
Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence. I did not ask for any evidence.
What I did was ask a question alluding to OP seemingly assuming the workers and the rich had to be distinct entities; I questioned what would happen should they be the same. That's it. I think maybe one or two people earnestly tried to answer me; everyone else immediately went on the attack.
People downvoted you because you were interpreted as acting in bad faith as we get a lot of bad faith engagers coming from other instances. I for one never downvoted and hoped you were acting in good faith. I didn’t understand your question but hoped someone would answer you in good faith. Multiple people did and no one attacked you until you repeatedly made vague negative statements without clarifying. Your original question didn’t necessarily seem bad faith, but your subsequent comments have led to it being interpreted as such. You weren’t sealioning, the comment was just a copypasta. However, your short nonspecific comments (“wow” “wiki link”) and then saying “I’m sure you could figure out what I’m saying” instead of explaining are indicative of trolling. I’m still open to good faith discussion, I’m just not sure if you are.
