        So a person born poor, middle class, rich or otherwise, in a wealthy country, but by virtue of being born in a wealth country richer than 7 billion other people, is the problem because they are greedy? Or how am I supposed to understand this?

          If you don’t want to understand something, you won’t understand it.

          The fact remains that a vacation to Thailand is prohibitively expensive for the vast majority of people.

          You just don’t want to acknowledge how you live in a world of privilege at the expense of those who don’t.

          It’s okay, I see it all the time and I don’t expect any more of you at this point.

            “I can’t express my point logically and will just assume the other is at fault.” or alternatively *makes a bad point, won’t elaborate, says collocutor is wrong, leaves, thinks they “won” the debate*

            Great “talking” to you. I’m sure you’ll be able to help people see the presumed error in their ways with your excellent rhetoric.
