And that’s why I’m saying social democracy is a realistic solution. The way the world works right now makes breaking this dependency something idealistic. So you can either fantasize with ideals all day long or you can get closer to your objective.

And yet, I’m not going bankrupt after someone in my family used an ambulance.
Well, show me a single system (currently implemented, not ideal or imaginary) that isn’t exploiting goods and labor from the third world.
Yeha, that’s my point. They automatically put you in the far-right if you don’t agree with a principle of communism.
The US is the largest global economy. How is it that free healthcare is a thing even in developing countries?
A few days ago my grandfather used an ambulance and the total cost was $0. I live in a developing country.
I see a fellow social democrat and I upvote.
People here think that if you agree with private property and private incentive then you suck billionaires d*cks.
Man, there is a whole spectrum that is much more realistic than pure communism or socialism.

politics @lemmy.world•A Black Man Was Elected Mayor in Rural Alabama, but the White Town Leaders Won’t Let Him ServeEnglish
11·2 years agoI think the problem goes like this:
-
they enslaved black people.
-
black people gained freedom. A lot of white people who were rich at their expense hated them for their freedom. They also saw them as inferior humans. This hate was passed through generations.
-
the CIA started a drug abuse pandemic in black communities intentionally.
-
black people were poor compared to white people. Being hated reduced their opportunities.
-
poverty and drug trafficking leads to higher crime rates.
-
a higher crime rate leads to more discrimination and less opportunities.
-
go back to step 4. It becomes a cycle.
So these people either hate them because their cultural heritage (which seems likely for Alabama) or because the black community has a higher rate of violence, which is also the fault of white people.

World News@lemmy.ml•Facebook, Instagram face Norwegian ban from tracking users for adsEnglish
331·2 years agoThey created a business model around violating user privacy. Imagine if I asked “if slavery is no longer legal, how will the cotton fields be profitable?”
So, now being more realistic, just do ads without tracking people. Maybe ask people which types of ads they want to see instead of fucking spying on them to know every detail of their lives.
In that scenario, the only aggressor is the business owner then. Legal immigrants should be paid the same as native workers.
I thought the post was talking about illegal immigration.
Yeha, that’s why I said the worst aggressors are the companies, but this doesn’t mean that immigrants are free of guilt.
First, they are immigrating illegally, which isn’t right. There’s a lot of honest immigrants patiently waiting to be accepted, and these guys just say “fuck it” and break all the rules.
Second, they know they’ll accept a low paying job as soon as they get their first offer. The money they are getting is a lot of money back home. It isn’t a bad deal for them. After a few years they can go back home and be wealthy, even medium-high class. So it’s not like they are in a bad deal.
Just because there is a big aggressor, doesn’t mean there is a single aggressor.
I think the immigrant isn’t a victim when they leave their country with the intent of being hired for a low wage, so they can send money to their families even if they live like shit in their new country. They’ll be living by themselves in the developed country, so they don’t need a salary to take care of a whole family, unlike the natives. They know what they are doing, they know what’s up, it’s all part of the plan.
Obviously, the company is the worst aggressor in this scenario, but the immigrant is no saint.

11·2 years agoAre upvotes for agreement ok though? Or should upvotes be reserved for quality content?


This is exactly what I was going to say. Copying and pasting passwords is definetely a no-no for me.
