@Lisaunbothered Communism says it wants to achieve those things, but the old soviet states achieved exactly the opposite. It starved people (Holodomor genocide, great leap forward), there where the gulags and cultural revolution.
On education it passes, I will grant that!
@Antikeburg One day you will see that some people wish to burn down society and civilization so that they can rule of the ashes. Those are trully evil people.
The middle class is the most expensive place to live, and no one talks about it.
Lower income households get assistance.
The wealthy use tax strategies and loopholes.
But the middle class pays full taxes, full tuition, full healthcare, full everything.
So you work 50 hours a week just to stay in the same place and fund everyone's life except yours.
@MenkoiiKawaii@AngelicaOung Cool, coz my neighbour next door used to get about £1200 per month in housing support, job seeker allowance and disability support (for dyslexia). He'd stay home drink beer and punch his wife on occasion.
My dad's monthly taxes of ~£800 weren't enough to support his lifestyle...
@MenkoiiKawaii@AngelicaOung If you want to lose the British elections, say you will decrease welfare spending.
Once parties start losing votes, they immediately start talking about increasing welfare payments...
@AngelicaOung I mean there is this post https://t.co/wQ27tugGUJ
Socialist parties in the west just look like power hungry politicians who will screw over society to maintain their power.
🇦🇷🚨GIGA INTELECTUAL DE DERECHA
-Qué opina de la derrota de Lula?
"Que pierda. Con la izquierda y el socialismo nadie vive bien. Soy giga liberal"
-A qué se dedica?
"Fui estafado por los políticos xq después de 45 años de aporte cobro la mínima como otros que no aportaron"
@AngelicaOung I read a Brazilian X-user saying their leftists want a welfare state so the people dependent on the government would vote for them to keep receiving votes.
So I guess just keep them in that state (poor & dependent) so they keep voting for left-wing parties.
@Antikeburg Technology is meant to replace human labour. Dig a hole with your hands vs shovel vs excavator...
So there is separate question if our economy, based on everyone having a job and getting a wage, can handle the every increasing rate at which technology replaces humans.
@Antikeburg The initial reactions to the printing press were similar in that knowledge keepers complained about a lack of editor rigour caused by printers publishing with a rush to make money. 1500s equivalent of AI slop...
When I criticize African Muslims who keep committing acts of violence, and then Black people come into my replies calling me racist, seriously, are you okay?
You’re basically making it sound like you consider yourselves part of the same group I’m criticizing.
If gangs of Asian or Japanese criminals went overseas and did the same kind of thing, you wouldn’t see Japanese people jumping into the replies saying, “Don’t criticize them! That’s discrimination!” would you?
We’d say, “Those criminals have nothing to do with us. They’re not our people. Prosecute them, punish them, give them the harshest sentence the law allows.”
If you defend criminals just because they happen to have the same skin color as you, then you’re helping create the very prejudice you complain about.
If you want discrimination to disappear, then say, “I’m not one of them. I’m a normal, civilized person. I don’t care what color someone’s skin is. If they commit a crime, arrest them, prosecute them, and punish them properly.”
If even your own daughters were raped and you were still saying, “Don’t arrest him because he’s Black,” then how the hell do you expect discrimination to disappear?
At that point, you’re creating it yourselves.
@aslichin_@huw6z Well, islam kills you for insults again islam. Africans are too busy starting wars amongst themselves...
So it appears only Indian and European cultures can tolerate insults.
@Leigh_Phillips saying humanity is the most worthy and complex entity in the cosmos just says you have a massive ego and think the world revolves around you.
@KingRebo1@Antikeburg Yes. But I also know people who lived off the state for years with no desire to ever get a job.
Problem is, some politicians increase welfare to get the votes of these people.
@MoreBirths We are sort of like hoping we don't die out until we develop test-tube babies technology. Yes, babies grown in lab conditions, not inside women... Quite a sad state of affairs.
