@renunciateIII@TheKevinDalton What are you, like eleven years old? The guy on the bike was purposely being an asshole. The guy with the trashcan corrected him. Justice served. Case closed.
@realbaysurge@VickInABox77@EpicClipVault There is no evidence that cyclists live longer than the general population, nor evidence that they cost less tot he taxpayer. If they use the road they should pay for it.
@MaybeUrJusWrong@khrachvik@TheMimi501 Run along and read something improving, Scooter. If you need help with the big words, they have this thing called a dictionary...
@MaybeUrJusWrong@khrachvik@TheMimi501 "Ignorant af" is not understanding what things are, or pretending that things are different than what they are. Words mean things. Socialism is socialism. It's not other things. It's not capitalism. It's not democracy. It's not welfare state-ism. It's socialism.
@MaybeUrJusWrong@khrachvik@TheMimi501 Sorry, but you're just plain wrong. "Socialism" means the gov't ownership or control of the means of production. It doesn't mean *anything* else. Sweden et al nationalized industries, and then privatized them again. Their taxes, welfare programs and immigration are not socialist.
@MaybeUrJusWrong@khrachvik@TheMimi501 No, they were capitalist countries that became socialist countries in the 60s and 70s by nationalizing their major industries, then watched as those industries slowly died, and sold them off to private firms, and became capitalist again. Expensive welfare programs =/= socialism.
