On foot. Across half a continent.

North American continent, let me guess.

I rebuilt my life from literally nothing

Most people do that at least once. Some never do though, but that's what's called a wasted life.

your defense of this evil system and this evil society is immoral

First, thieves won't teach me morality, naturally, second, no person under this post has even tried to reach the point in conversation where I'd be able to say what exactly I would defend in systems and societies.

Which means ...

Say, if there's a murder, and if you are a suspect, who can't be proven to be the murderer, but you actively destroy the evidence ascertaining who that is, then it becomes likelier that the murderer is you.

If you are using manipulative or aggressive tactics in a conversation, trying to give your opposition as few chances as possible instead of as many as possible, - then because of this alone you've discredited yourself and your point of view and you've lost. (No, it's not a subject for a vote)

Most of this text is your attempts to describe me instead of myself. Which is worth less than used toilet paper. Also usually called a strawman argument.

And you’re really powerless to stop us.

Now this is the main emotional message you are carrying.

I don't know whether the literal statement is true, however since you have to persuade yourself that your enemy is powerless, and I don't, being fine with my enemy being possibly stronger than me, possibly hopelessly, - I think it's wrong and I am not.
