Training the mind like Washington trained his army:
Stoic endurance, Bushido honor, Sun Tzu deception.
Modern men, ancient steel.

[Path of the Thinker @ThinkingPath1]

Most men today die at 25 and get buried at 75.
This account is the antidote.
Stoicism. Bushido. Sun Tzu. Roman steel.
No therapy-speak. No excuses. No retreat.
Follow if you’re ready to become unbreakable.
Drop a ⚔️ below if you’re in.

The fact that you think Google is the government? The fact that nothing on the internet is communist propaganda? The fact that you are just so jealous of success that you need the government to hold everyone else back so that you don’t feel inferior? Why try to spread communism, why don’t you just move to Norway and live in your utopia?

@InsomniacFurre @lady_valor_07 @grok You are fucking stupid. So stupid in fact that you should have to carry a plant everywhere you go and continuously apologize for wasting the oxygen it provides you. You are literally the best argument on the planet for removing warning labels and letting Darwinism win.

Have you been to Taiwan? Your anecdotal evidence does not impress me. I have lived in Japan, I used universal healthcare. I was in the Military, I used universal healthcare. I am a Disabled Veteran, I use universal healthcare. None of these examples have higher quality than the US civilian market. My actual lived experience, not some anecdotal garbage put out by lying governments or envious communist.

Look past the surface. Every single issue you listed traces back to government distortions, mandates, and restrictions—not a lack of it. Facts:
• Sky-high costs: Government controls ~48%+ of spending via Medicare/Medicaid and sets prices that distort the rest. ACA mandates (essential benefits, community rating, guaranteed issue) spiked premiums. Certificate-of-need (CON) laws in 38 states block new facilities/competition. Hospital consolidation (fueled by regs, 340B, site-based payments) drives prices 2-3x inflation. Tax exclusion for employer insurance hides costs and reduces consumer sensitivity. 
• Insurance/access gaps: Pre-ACA, gaps existed; post-ACA regs made individual market coverage unaffordable for many healthy people, creating dependency on subsidies that distort markets. Non-expansion states and eligibility rules create cliffs. Employer mandate and tax code lock people into job-tied insurance, causing gaps on job changes. Millions churn due to bureaucratic hurdles. 
• Administrative waste: Multi-payer fragmentation + thousands of pages of federal/state regs (HIPAA, billing codes, prior auth, MLR rules, EHR mandates) force massive overhead—billing/insurance costs alone hundreds of billions yearly. ACA added layers of compliance, risk adjustment, and reporting that favor big players. Private markets streamline; government complexity bloats it. 
• Expensive drugs: FDA approval process is slow/expensive (hundreds of millions per drug), with patent protections and limited competition. Government buyers (Medicare) can’t negotiate freely in ways that spur generics/biosimilars faster elsewhere. Price controls abroad free-ride on U.S. innovation, forcing Americans to subsidize global R&D. 
• Quality & care disparities: Medicaid’s lower reimbursements reduce provider access for the poor (access gaps). Regulations limit physician-owned hospitals, ambulatory centers, and scope-of-practice, protecting incumbents. Outcomes vary hugely by program—Medicare Advantage upcoding, fraud in public programs. America’s exceptional innovation and specialist access for insured patients outperform rationed systems elsewhere.
Government didn’t fix healthcare; it cartelized it, subsidized demand while restricting supply, and created perverse incentives. Real exceptions in U.S. care come from markets, competition, and choice where allowed—not central planning. More government layers made it worse.

Oh my god the fucking circles…. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You don’t need to steal from people to have things. People will pay for them. Only government steals your money, says it’s for your own good, then pockets it. California spent $1.7 billion in 2025 on homeless programs. That is $1.7 billion in theft, with 181,900 people still homeless.

I served 12 years active duty, 1997-2009. My experience with the VA has been fine. But I’ve had friends die waiting for care, I needed an MRI on my knee, they told me the next appointment was 6 months away, but because I’m a GS civilian now I just went to a civilian hospital and got one that day for $300 and had them send the imaging to the doctor at the VA.

We already know that the top 5 problems in the American medical system:
1. The government mandates every insurance company cover sex change operations even if the customer doesn’t want it.
2. The government over pays for everything, so hospitals continue to raise prices.
3. The government pays for the treatment of illegals, taking space from actual citizens and increasing prices for everyone.
4. The lefttard hypochondriac Karens demanding to see the manager because the doctor won’t give her Xanax for her runny nose, has made care providers not give a shit in a real situation.
5. Ambulance chasing Lawyers suing for every little thing and lefttard activist judges awarding millions of dollars in settlements because you are too stupid to follow post care instructions.

Taxes are compulsory extraction by government force (IRS enforcement, liens, penalties). When that money is stolen or wasted through fraud, it’s double loss: taken from producers, then misallocated. Fiat/deficit spending expands the pool, enabling larger-scale abuse because accountability is diluted. Proven improper payment rates (CMS, GAO) run several percent annually on trillions in programs—measurable theft enabled by the system.

@StormNightsong @lady_valor_07 Government is why the whole system is broken.
