An embarrassing number of things get me way too worked up, but right at the top of the list is saying healthcare shouldn't be accessible to all. To say that by phrasing your response with an absolute obscene level of racism is a whole new level. But I suppose we shouldn't expect anything less from the footsoldiers of fascism.
I live in the UK and because of my type 1 diabetes all my prescriptions are free.
It's madness to charge for something someone needs to live. Captive audience to the extreme.
It shouldn't be surprising that a couple days after this they made this post.
Has anyone noticed the weird surge in pro-slavery sentiment? I’ve seen people, including black propel, defending slavery recently and it’s mind blowing! They claim that enslaved people learned work ethic and important life skills, that some slave owners treated the enslaved like family. These same arguments are being made about the concentration camps during the holocaust too!
Ron DeSuckMyDick in Florida signed off on legislation that changed the way slavery is talked about in Florida schools. That's where a lot of this seems to have started.
Didn’t DeFascist also make it a thing that teachers can/should show PragerU videos in class?
I live in NH. It's fucked here. Split between rich arrogant snobs that act like they are down for equality but only make moves via Facebook profile overlays and Nazis, and conservatives that are just wrecklessly psychopaths.
It's hell for anyone that doesn't fit those two.
We have little Nazi fucks dropping banners on the highway and surrounding gay cafes and theathers calling people paedophiles.
NH is a shit hole of ignorance and nobody does anything at all about it. Both sides hate if anyone trys to point out the obvious they try to hide from.
Some trashy pro trump career criminal steals from my family and cops just laugh at me when I ask for help.
It's really fucking up my view of America as a whole...
And it's not just Nazis and dumb politics... I know too many career criminals that get ahead while good kids suffer for living with basic human decency.
Is it really that bad? I'm thinking of moving there from Ohio because gestures vaguely at middle america.
Compared to much of the US it is better, but it is the Florida of New England
I dont agree with communism but id say im pretty close to that(socialist prob) but this is such a bruh moment.
What don’t you with about communism?
I think people would just lose motivation. I lived in ireland for 5 years and they basically had ubi and people wouldnt get jobs they would just sit in lawnchairs in parks and then buy a some food, alcohol and a new iphone out of it. Still no job, house or anything else. I think food and basic housing should be a right but if you want a proper phone, a nice car (aka stuff) you should work for it. Income should be "capped" with tax. If a ceo earns 10 or 100 times what a cashier earns its not a problem compared to todaus world where a ceo earns a million times more than a cashier. And all that tax money could go to housing, food for the poor, infrastructure, free public transport so people dont get cut off from better paying jobs, etc. I think it would be a pretty solid system if implemented right but im just a random teenager so i have no say.
Different person, but my issue with communism is that it puts too much power in the hands of government, which, thus far, has always led to some abusive power figure corrupting the whole thing for personal gain. It's a wonderful theory, I'm just not convinced humanity will ever be able to make it actually work long term.
That said, I definitely think we should be dabbling with it, and moving more and more power out of the hands of corporations. There's a balance in there somewhere.
