A lot of gingers have curly hair, and they're OG white people
Ah, well there we go then. I guess I should stop lurking and start posting
John Lovell is a good dude though. I've seen that video before and nothing he says is actually wrong but Allah forbid he say that women aren't as strong as men!
No idea how to do that on my phone, so I'll just type it out instead.
It was from the Facebook page 'Millenials for Democratic Socialism' so strap in.
"Millenials don't think about socialism & think about the USSR or the Cold War.
We hear socialism & think about Canada, Switzerland, social security, healthcare, affordable college & affordable housing.
Big generational difference"
And besides the quote is the usual blank face of the soyboy who said it.
A guy I went to college with shared the post, so I felt compelled to point out that Canada and Switzerland aren't socialist countries... And I've spent the past 2 hours having to educate this moron on the ideology he supposed subscribes to.
dude what
last I checked I keep my wages
Apparently because you guys have free healthcare and affordable education you're a bunch of commies, I dunno. Ask Millenials, they're apparent the ones who think this.
our taxes get funneld into national health care stuff
which I think is a pretty good system, even though it means the taxes are pretty high
as long as the insurance companies i"m with are still operational I get free perscriptions and most of my surgeries and doctor's appointments have been free too
My glasses are another story but hey take what I can get
I swear commies used to be actually more well educated on their own ideology, but these days they'll just latch onto anything vaguely in a social welfare vein and go "HAY YOO GUIZ! LOOK SOCIALISM!!"
Similar to the UK I guess. We pay national insurance into the NHS which is technically separate from taxes but I just lump it all into the same thing. I get free prescriptions as standard in Scotland though because I guess we're also socialist too.
Y'know besides all the homeless people living on the streets unable to actually get a social home. If you ignore that, and the whole capitalism thing, basically a commie utopia up here.
Did you explain to him yet that the "free healthcare" in these countries are only a generation or two old, and are already seeing stresses at the seems?
Seems that making doctors state employees tends to lower the quality of work lol
Well, his first demand was to define what a Socialist country is... So I gave him the usual definition, which he totally ignored and then started going on about this was 'new socialism' etc. Then I went into the finer points of why certain things are a bad idea. Personally I'm more than happy to pay NI monthly for the safety net of the NHS but I'd be lying to myself if I said it wasn't due to collapse any time soon.
In any case there was the usual back and forth between someone who has no idea what they're defending and someone who has a cursory knowledge of the topic until a third party appeared with the 3 words that make me harder than a crossword puzzle designed by a dyslexic... "You are right." Not all heroes wear capes evidently, but he backed up every single one of my points and my commie college graduate 'friend' hasn't said a peep since.
The market, and thus society (as they're one in the same) is an infinitely complex system akin to any other like the weather, or an ecosystem.
Thinking that you can control that, or at the least even *predict* it, is immature and laughable.
