"I'm sorry but I have a problem with a system that places money over human lives"
I haven't seen any evidence to believe that socialism thinks any differently. History CERTAINLY hasn't shown that to be the case either.

2019-09-22 20:51:04 UTC  

I mean. When people that are studying to work on life saving medicine have to chose between eating or having heat. Somethings wrong

2019-09-22 20:51:06 UTC  

" I have a problem with a system that relies on putting children in dangerous conditions for pennies a day."
You know we have child labor laws, right?

>Inferring I'm a socialist

2019-09-22 20:51:23 UTC  

perhaps you should just lay your cards on the table so I can actually respond then

2019-09-22 20:51:34 UTC  

You know we import a ridiculous number of goods from countries that don't, right?

2019-09-22 20:51:40 UTC  

@CatLoverKid >you know we have child labor laws, right?

And WHOMST was responsible for that?

2019-09-22 20:51:42 UTC  

He warned us

My dude do you genuinely believe that I support COMPLETE AND TOTAL Capitalism? What we have right now is a pretty good system

2019-09-22 20:52:39 UTC  

sans maybe some inability to curb monopoly

2019-09-22 20:52:53 UTC  

@CatLoverKid dude, I literally have to join the military just to get out of debt and go to college

2019-09-22 20:52:58 UTC  

You call that a good system?

2019-09-22 20:52:59 UTC

Idk if you saw it before, but I'm over 100k in debt

2019-09-22 20:53:19 UTC  

and I'm really enjoying that decision right now

2019-09-22 20:53:25 UTC  

because tomorrow I start a job that will pay it off

2019-09-22 20:53:47 UTC  

@CatLoverKid you shouldn't have had to have gone into that kind of debt just to get a good paying job

2019-09-22 20:53:50 UTC  

That's absurd

2019-09-22 20:54:13 UTC  

what why? I'm not entitled to a job. Nobody is entitled to give me one lol

2019-09-22 20:54:46 UTC  

I also didn't NEED to work where I do now. I could have shot lower

2019-09-22 20:54:51 UTC  

Lmfao "Pretty good system"

While dozens of veterans are homeless in the streets.
While dozens of people can't afford food without relying on the state.
While dozens of people are choosing to die, rather than putting their families in debt to get life saving medication.
While people studying to be nurses and doctors can't afford to do anything because they are carrying tremendous debt.
While people suffering from mental disorders are treated like animals.

"Good system"

2019-09-22 20:54:52 UTC  

No, perhaps not, but you're entitled to fair working conditions and the ability to live comfortably without the looming threat of being in debt for the rest of your life potentially

2019-09-22 20:54:53 UTC  

but I WANT the money, so I took risk

2019-09-22 20:55:36 UTC  

I disagree that you:
1) need to go into debt to dodge those things
2) should be impervious from risk in order to pursue wealth

2019-09-22 20:56:08 UTC  

@Foxhound this is why I consider you my friend, because even though we are clearly on opposite sides of the political spectrum, it's amazing how much we agree on and I just genuinely enjoy both talking to you and the irony of a "commie" being friends with a fascist xD

2019-09-22 20:56:21 UTC  

You shouldn't need to go into debt to pay for schooling in life saving fields.

2019-09-22 20:56:31 UTC  

Idk you, but if i get cancer, i really dont want to sell my house to pay for the treatment

2019-09-22 20:56:52 UTC  

Sorry but my aunt who is now 47 is still paying student debt while she actively saves lives and is threatened with losing her house.

2019-09-22 20:56:58 UTC  

now THAT'S an interesting thought... I think I'm gonna need to think about the debt for life-saving fields thing

2019-09-22 20:57:04 UTC  

Sir Moseley would be proud.

2019-09-22 20:57:17 UTC  

@CatLoverKid you literally have a fascist and a... I guess I'm a libertarian socialist???... agreeing with each other and telling you the same shit. You've achieved a feat of incredible height. Perhaps you should think about that

2019-09-22 20:57:48 UTC  

I also think I've come a LONG way in my success in life through this system, entirely on my own effort

2019-09-22 20:57:51 UTC  

Risk = potential reward. That's a common theme in universal society.

2019-09-22 20:58:05 UTC  

no risk and no reward?

2019-09-22 20:58:22 UTC  

@AKAlexei and an american republicanist

2019-09-22 20:59:18 UTC  

Which is admirable. But look at how much it's cost you. What if you lose that job? What if you're laid off or fired? What if it turns out to be a total shitshow profession that makes you wanna off yourself every time you open your eyes in the morning and trust me that last one doesn't sound like much but it WILL take its toll over time

2019-09-22 20:59:35 UTC  

If that job of yours suddenly disappears, then what?
