Sure, call me evil because I can see the harm it will do. That's easier than having to think about what I said and consider the fact you might be wrong. But if I'm evil then you are the literal devil. That kid who wants that tuberculosis medicine, how do you think we got that medicine? A company invested millions to research it. So when the next disease comes around and it's killing millions and no one is willing to just burn millions to find a cure because they have no IP, those deaths will be because of people like you. You have this childish mindset that after IP is gone everyone will magically have meds in their hands and everything will be perfect. No, you're just as dumb as you are evil. New diseases will come up, no one will invest in curing them because they will lose money, and people will die. The difference between me and you is I can see more than 1 month into the future on how this would effect things.

Prove it cunt. Show me a single fucking time in all of human history where people didn't try to cure disease because they couldn't make money. This is exactly what I'm talking about. You buy dumb shit like this hook line and sinker. You're an idiot who thinks they're smart and it's killing children. There is absolutely zero evidence proving anything about IP is responsible for any disease cure. There are no actual studies proving it because it is an absolutely ridiculous proposition to say altruism doesn't exist. But you're so fucking braindead at this point you actually believe it

No. IP does not improve the healthcare system in any way. Spreading these lies is why I called you evil. Because they're the reason children are dying. You're correct I am also evil. Our body counts are identical. I just have the human decency to feel shame about it.
