Abdul El-Sayed: “I’m not a socialist, I’m a scientist, I’m a doctor. If I had one political philosophy it’s that I want us to build what we would build if we took seriously the idea that all of our kids were all of our kids. If we started with that idea that every child is our child, we would build incredible public schools, we would guarantee everybody healthcare, we would guarantee childcare, we would stop putting money in bombs and tanks that kill kids and we would start investing in infrastructure and opportunity for kids”
@isaactdozier@onlydubsX the people limiting opportunities spend a LOT of money and effort trying to get us all to blame minorities and immigrants and trans people, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
the solution is more grants and more opportunities, not less. :)
@isaactdozier@onlydubsX respect. awesome that you seem to be doing well.
the point is you should be glad this person got some help, as they are not the problem.
In a system where 2 people need help and only 1 gets it, the system is at fault & the people that made the system that way.
@isaactdozier@onlydubsX 2) you grew up in a free house & have the nerve to shit on somebody else for maybe getting a hand from the grant giver?
Did they grow up in a free house? set aside your petty jealousy and be happy for them and mad at those in power who screw all of us by limiting opportunities
@isaactdozier@onlydubsX These are your neighbors & fellow Americans, just trying to survive like you are, they are not the enemy & you are not competing with them. The enemy is those who tell you to blame your fellow Americans, when the wealthy are the ones in control.
why were there not more grants?
@KoreaPistonsFan dude, you never doubted them for a single second. It would have been so easy to give up or assume it was over. Any reasonable person would’ve lost hope. Respect. 🫡
@MsTikq@accesstothepath u talk a lot about socialism, despite obviously never having read a single word karl marx wrote.
you should check it out.
when people advocate for socialism they are advocating for democratic socialism or a heavily regulated version of capitalism, like in finland!
@JimCosta_ they win when they play defense and score quickly. whenever they take their time, it ends up with daniss taking a shot from 50 feet away or cade taking an off balance mid range jumper.
@MsTikq@RobertsRoweSr1@dbongino north korea is basically a monarchy. Do the people own the means of production? Do they prioritize reducing income inequality and social welfare programs? Do they try to empower workers instead of exploiting them for profit?
@RobertsRoweSr1@dbongino if you are born in a more socialist country, like australia or denmark (vs US), you will live longer & healthier, pay less for healthcare, make more money & work less. You’re also far less likely to die from gun violence, be the victim of a violent crime or end up in prison.
