They’ve spent the past 40 years brainwashing us to believe their lies. It’s hard to reverse it, and unfortunately people are dumb.

Some white people would rather fill in a public pool than let black people swim in it, I can only imagine the same goes for healthcare.

What if we reduce the military budget because we're not actually at war

30k a year is "more money than I'd know what to do with" territory for me. Would love to be in it someday.
LW1981
This is called false class consciousness. Uncritical people love assimilating it into their identity while those pulling the strings laugh.

Education is like anti psychotic medication. The people who need it most, think they do not, and sometimes it's the bystanders that suffer.
JeffGriffin
I wish I made 30k a year
PuppetShowJustice
Ya'll are getting 30k a year? *sighs in rural VA*
RabeMeansRaven
Because the last time the left promised good things within healthcare the costs increased by a factor of 6.

Why do I have to pay billionaire's tax? I'm a millionaire! Think about it. Think about what you're all doing?

Republican *voters* dont mind these so much in reality. It's the 'respecting brown people' thing they just REALLY aren't happy about.
Seanspeed
Republican *politicians* are the ones who tend to push the pro-corporate and anti-health insurance stuff so strongly for their own benefit.

(Sarcasm) Taxing billionaires‽ Giving universal healthcare‽ That's nothing but

The article you linked says "they would have to also be "anarchist violent extremists." Just anti-capitalism on its own is fine.

That sad part is that saying this stuff is easy but putting into action is difficult and confusing.

AS somsone that makes 31k a year....naw fuck em eat the rich.
rage3333
Cmon guys. This is not about racism. Its about simple paranoia. They are brainwashed to believe it will create soviet China slowly.
legacyweekly
uhhhhhh theres definitely some racism in it
rage3333
Its not caused by racism
legacyweekly
ok :]
NapoleonDynOmite
Are there soviets in China
AgnosticPaladin
People wouldn't let themselves be so thoroughly brainwashed unless it pushed the right buttons. Racism and misogyny in this case.
rage3333
You are delusional. Not even racism is inate, its learned by "pushing buttons" of fear and anger. And everyone shares these basic fears.
AgnosticPaladin
Eh (on 2 counts): 1.Xenophobia is kinda hardwired in primates, we have to work against it. 2.Racism is primarily taught by parents/family.
Billettboy
What’s the point of a nation being wealthy if it doesn’t look after their most vulnerable. Is that not the goal? Truly baffles me.
Doopapotamus
In essence: to artificially maintain an elite class and pseudo-serfdom who will do what they are told at an agreeable upkeep price.
sausageJokesAreTheWurst
Voting for your own interests means admitting you are among "the most vulnerable". Racist societies find that worse than death.
ThoughtsAndBeers
America’s haunted.
nein999
Historically and biologically, no.
MechKelly
To the right the vulnerable are the weak and should be left to die. No joke or exaggeration there.
Lethous
I hate the argument that the country wasn't founded in that. Sure, but gov by the people for the people means we can change it for today
Lethous
If we were held to the country as founded/intended there would still be slaves. Constitution is clay, not stone.
illegalacorn

But, but, but, if we do thrn what about when I become a billionaire?

Some day I’ll be rich and then people like me better watch out!

Hippitty Hoppitty, your healthcare is now your own private property.

When all those guys with cryptos are billionaires you're gonna be so jealous /s those fucks on twitter are insufferable.
geosHD
In germany we have a saying which roughly translates to: In capitalism everybody can become a millionaire, but not all of us.
worldsokayestspeler
Then they would still be making more money than they could ever spend but actually contributing to society lol

There should be no billionaires

You will still be able to buy your own private health insurance & keep your Dr OR use the public option for far less & still keep your Dr.

And to reiterate, it's not socialism, IT'S GIVING YOU WHAT YOU'RE ALREADY FUCKING PAYING FOR TWO TIMES OVER
Rubberducky2010
2-4 times over. Some 1st world systems have average costs that are only about 1/4 of what we pay. :(
TexMexHex

We already pay more than every westernized country in the whole fucking world.

AnythingMuchShorter
Buh but, someone who didn't work might get some too, I'd rather none of us get anything and the money goes to billionaire tax breaks.
tehdrmonkey
Don’t forget about the part where it might trickle down to them and one day they’ll be uber billionaires! ONE DAY!
AnnieGitchYerGun
So accurate it fucking hurts.
Inourbutwhatami
Literally, the equivalent of saying, “But Miss Johnson little Timmy didn’t do anything why should he get any?” But on the other hand why tf>
Inourbutwhatami
We’re we ever taught to share in school if not for such a time as this?
AnythingMuchShorter
It's especially pathetic when they extend this to their kids. Like, they get mad that a kid raised by a crack addict might get a free meal.

I mean... it is socialism, it's just that socialism isn't bad
kerms
It's by definition not socialism. Socialism contains this, but so does centrism.
Noughmad
How is it socialism? Are we really at the point where socialism is where the government does stuff?
lljkstonefish
and if it is, then ok, socialist the fuck outta me.
DougTheLlama
Unless it's a misnomer, it's called socialized medicine for a reason. The gov't controls healthcare and all society benefits from it
DougTheLlama
I'm not saying "this is socialism" as in now the whole country is socialist. I'm saying it's a social program
Noughmad
It's not called that though, it's "universal healthcare". But even so, socialized or social program is not the same as socialism.
DougTheLlama
I really don't want to get into a semantics debate. They're the same thing, but one's used for marketing
