I didn't mean to. I was using the political topic as an example of greed. I didn't mean for it to be a focus of the post.

The article Politics is the Mindkiller says that if you can choose between a political topic as example and a less political topic, don't pick the political topic.

It doesn't say: "Never discuss a political topic." If you actually want to talk about a political topic then, talk about it. The important thing is to avoid talking about political topics when they are not the main thing you want to talk about.

Choosing a political topic makes it much harder to reason clearly and much easier to fall into the "my opponents are evil/stupid/irrational"-trap. In this case it looks like you have fallen into that trap. You seem to have invested no effort into steelmanning. Even if it would be possible to avoid falling in that trap, your post looks like you have fallen into it and is therefore likely to be downvoted.
