If you want to refute this you have to show me exactly how my system has an inherent or systematic flaw that leads it to have the living conditions of North Korea.
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.
You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

You claim to hate racism but don't want to stop it.
Incorrect. I do not wish to stop it through implementation of a police state.

The Buddha? No. A more accurate comparison would be something like a prophet who tells everyone about the teachings of God. Only it's not God, it's the absolute and perfect moral system that judges the entire universe and has the highest possible authority.

It has been explained to you multiple times that your system is inherently open to abuse, and actively encourages those that follow it to participate in their own abuse.
This is how you get North Korea.
Sticking your fingers in your ears and saying "but
mine
will
work
and be
perfect
and
pretty
and-" just makes it even more obvious that you have absolutely no idea what in the hell you're talking about.

I do not wish to stop it through implementation of a police state either. I wish to stop it through educating people about how racism is bad and how it's important to avoid treating people badly because of the color of their skin.

Which you force them into by implementing a police state, natch.

That's a terrible mindset. You love freedom so much you can't see how excessive freedom hurts society by allowing room for mistakes.

Not if everyone is re-educated to not abuse the system.

It's funny because this is pretty much the Buddha
incidentally y'all should go read
Lord of Light
by roger zelazny, it's good shit
and even slightly on topic because it features a buddhist dystopia
and the buddha is leading a rebellion against the hindu pantheon and can shoot force lightning out of his hands
Also I have like 6 spaces left on my Bingo board and I can't think of other things
For the record, this bingo board is not mocking Accountant, it's just phrases or things that I see frequently pop up from either side in discussions with him. It's mocking the discussions that occur, rather than the persons taking part.

Pls share so we can help
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?
Explain clearly why I couldn't just re-educate people to be non-abusive.

I'm fine with Davsto's bingo board. Lord knows I'm tired of hearing the same worn out old arguments("but muh freedom of speech" "but muh free will" "oh noez 1984/north korea/hitler/crusades" "deus vult hahahahaha")

Because these things make them unhappy.
Is your goal not to maximize human happiness? Or do you just not care, and want to force people into a police state for the hell of it?
My goal is to maximize human righteousness and moral uprightness - to make the world perfect. Happiness is good as well, but sometimes these goals are incompatible. Too bad. The backup option is to alter the things that make them happy to get the best of both worlds.

What does "someone attempts to put down accountants views but they agree" mean?

Pretty much this - within like the last month, virtually every discussion with Accountant has been a rehash of the same argument
