I hate when people act as improving the healthcare system is a "complex issue", when pretty much every developed nation aside from the US manages to do better. It's not even good from a "fiscally conservative" standpoint; the US has by far the highest healthcare expenditure per capita in terms of government spending alone. Yet even the (relatively) progressive politicians have to talk about additional taxes on the rich to "justify" universal healthcare or else they'll be treated as "naive fools who think money grows on trees".

Why do we need to "debate real issues" when it's plainly obvious that the American healthcare system is objectively worse than even other capitalist nations (the wealthy ones anyways) just from a basic observation? Even high-income PMC types would benefit from not having to deal with insurance and whatever. Though it sucks that in a lot of places that do have universal healthcare, politicians are actively sabotaging it to justify privatization. Comes to show that the "free market" can only "prove" it's superiority through deception.

THEY HAVE AGENCY! IT'S BEING TAKEN AWAY BY FOREIGN POWERS! PINOCHET FORCED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE INTO A STADIUM AND IMPRISONED/MURDERED THEM! HIM AND THATCHER WERE PRACTICALLY BEST FRIENDS! WE LITERALLY HAVE AUDIO PROOF OF VICTORIA NULAND CHOOSING UKRAINE'S PRIME MINISTER! WHAT THE FUCK!?

this is literally "people can't do bad things, it's against the law" levels of intellectual discussion. your country being overtaken by heavily armed foreign powers like the USA? just use your agency and say "no!"

or liberal democracy on the march to socialism and eventually communism.

what the fuck. these people are a psyop.

liberal democracy on the march to socialism and eventually communism

If someone asked them to name an example of that they’d probably say Scandinavia

:agony:

"former leftist" is a funny way to say "liberal who hates minorities more openly than they used to."

Why did I go there? I knew it would only make me sad

Right there with you comrade, Reddit is self harm for me at this point

Weren't the Northern Alliance just a bunch of jumped-up warlords? Also if the Taliban were smashed, why are they in power now? Fucking fascists.

“We need a strong Republican Party”

-a fucking dipshit

What was the post lol

Having a six figure salary and a lanyard will do it.

also someone's in there trying to claim that posts joking about america being like guy fieri on r/all are made by tankies who hate america

That and all the claims about all the colour revolutions entirely infantilises Eastern Europeans, like they have zero agency

And yet they assume that Eastern Europeans are an amorphous blob that coincidentally supports everything they want to happen in the world. Even the Euromaidan "Revolution" had roughly a 50% support for either side of the conflict.

Are the people who opposed the so-called color revolutions to be condemned for their views? They'd probably answer yes, just as every single other "enemy of freedom and civilization" they see in the world (which just so happens is people their government dislikes).
