even if you get private medical you must still pay the state for healthcare by law
Same as the BBC, you must pay for it as its a Tax called a TV licence
I wonder if not having a fully socialized medical system helps kind of stave off those things in the US. After all you'd be forcing a a family to pay a lot of money for a sex change on a minor in the US if you could force parents to along with trans kids.
smaller government = more individual freedom unless you completly remove the state
because then another state will just conquer you
or force you to join the EU 😛
@Jasse that bits correct however the invasion of Poland by the Germans had far more to do with WW2 than banking did
if invading poland was the broblem why war was only decleared against germany.
not USSR who invaded other half of poland?
@Jes I knew expanding the state into medicine was a bad thing when Obama was pushing the ACA because I knew that meant the government would suddenly be interested in telling me what to eat and how to exercise under the guise of but your health now affect government spending. The hint to me was that his wife was big on mandating things to schools about what they ate and exercising.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend"
at least in practice
Germany had also invaded belgium netherlands and france
and lets not forget the cold war
it was only the Allies 'war aversion' due to WW1 that let them get as far as they did before war was declared. that and our Lefty PM at the time wanted to capitulate to Hitler
Churchill FTW
Proud to bear the Churchill name irl :)
thank (insert diety here) that Churchill took over the UK
not so proud of the india stuff but yeah
@Jes What options for school do people have in the UK? Do a lot of people use private? Do people homeschool in the UK?
UK was and is already under international banking system, and so is USA.
USSR leadership was over 80% jewsish.
and germany was controlled by germans.
@grant yeah once the government gets into healthcare they start to hold 'death councils' they are not called that but its where they decide who does and doesnt get treatment based on cost ect
think of all the horror stories of insurance companies looking for reasons not to pay out. now take it back a step to whether you get treatment or not
Jasse, do you also believe in the MIC?
ooo whats the MIC?
MIC?
military industrial complex i.e. that the reason many countries continue to war is because the industries that profit to war profit from war and therefore lobby and mingle in international affairs in order to perpetuate wars
poorly worded
The idea that companies that profit from war (arms manufacturers, PMC etc) perpetuate war in order to keep profiting
yes. military industrial complex is real.
Ahh, well I think individuals do that. i.e. senators or MP's that have shares in certain companies are more pro war because of proffit but I don't beleive its a far reaching conspiracy. but I used to beleive the MSM so anythings possible
Ok, do you believe that capitalist societies purposely create an underclass so that the elite can profit from cheap labor?
look china and africa. there is your chep labour.
As Tim's video shows, capitolism has been the single greatest force in removing poverty so I dont think that
@Jasse makes a good point there though. all the EU governments are desperate for that sweet cheap labour
importing the migrants like there is a sale on
I've actually seen it argued that those statistics are misleading and that if you remove China then the outcome isn't as good but I haven't actually looked into that ymself
I think people mistaken being involved in a lot of conflict as secretly starting them. People forget that war is more normal in human history than people think.
its accurate to within a couple of % points
