to the less important part of what I was saying?

I am sorry Mairead. I don't mean to be dragging you around, as it were.

I didn't get anything. Seems to me that the verb 'collapse' isn't the most accurate one that will describe the transition away from Capitalism, being a bit too passive in its coloration.

What I'm trying to get at, here, is why you responded that way (if you have insight). I'm asking because, as I'm sure you know from your own experience, responding to the less important part of what's said is an extremely popular way to derail and disparage. I'm wondering whether we can raise our consciousness enough to stop doing that. I'm sure it would make life better.

It was the most salient thing you said (to me). The premise for the rest.
