Huh, well i use DuckDuckGo

So I have no idea whats going on Google until it pops up on KiA

Well... I get most my news from KiA and some indie journalists like Tim

How often is Snopes actually right considering its funding

I mostly stick to independent creators like Tim, yeah.

Well, for urban myths I used to bilieve

Or politifact for that matter?

But I kept seeing political stuff

I mean, one thing I usually point out is the Snopes entry on Ben Carson

How he supposedly found like what again? 500 something dollars not accounted for?

Listed it as false since the money wasnt there anymore. Basically said it was false since he didny actually find the money, only found that it missing.

Lol, even had the gall to tell me that the site was listed as unbiased.

Yeah that is doubtful. Look at any fact-checking they did on Hillary and see how true it actually is

Still, I had to give up my reliance on supposed fact checkers

They write almost an entire article on proving a statement true and then in their summary they say well there's this one little tiny bit that is not 100% accurate so the whole article is false

The only fact checker I trust is myself also

lol, i bought into too many falsehoods that I dont even know

I used to be supportive of leftist policies until I learnt how they do not work.

The blowback effect is humungous.

Oh many leftist policies will work you just have to pay 200% more taxes

Not to mention Bernie's idea of a one payer medical system. I would hate to see our tax level after that went into effect

How does every other western nation manage to pull it off, then?

Being really homogenous?

Their medical system isn't as good as ours because there isn't any need for competition

Culturally especially

I mean, look at most european countries, most countries are mostly homogenous cuturally and ethnically.

So, you're saying ethnostates work? <:hmkGrin:284219474440355840>

In the US its not as easy to implement a one size fits all basically.

Or comparing a US country with heaps of different demographics financially, culturally, and geographically.

To a country thats mostly urbanized under one culture.

Just look up some old Bernie videos before he went communist and he will explain it himself how the one payer medical system would essentially bankrupt America

I'm not quite sure with what homogeneity has to do with anything...?

I mean, dont get me wrong I think its nice to ensure that all of the citizens get healthcare, especially lifesaving or life altering ones like chemo or dentist work.

But the man who lives his life without smoking or drinking will be taxed extra to compensate for the fatass who eats 5 big macs a meal and chugs down Mountain Dew like water.

Why does a welfare system have to exist at all? Why does the government require us to provide charity when it would be more effective to be handled on a one-to-one basis?

That's how health insurance works. The healthy subsidize the sick.

But it does not make it right in their eyes.

At least Health Insurance is an opt in system.

But you cant opt out of taxes.

And that is how you end up paying for everybody being sick is through taxes on a one payer system
