I’m sorry that you have that impression. Of course I draw on ideas and arguments I have learnt elsewhere; I am not that original a thinker, and after all these issues have been examined for centuries by philosophers and political scientists.

Of course I am interested in improving the current situation. Only my diagnostic is different from yours.

You are not replying to my counter-arguments, or showing me how exactly the examples I pose are wrong. But that’s okay if you want to stop here, of course.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts in the first place.
