the point is that the government merely offering health insurance isn’t socialized medicine. it’s just public health insurance. it’s not even socialized healthcare if the government provided the healthcare too. socialism is about who controls the government. while it’s in bourgeois hands, it’s not socialized.
this matters because there’s a liberal push to water down what socialism means so they can offer tepid social democracy, call it socialism, and remove the teeth from the groundswell of leftist popularity.
(offer… not grant… there won’t be any concessions until the threat of revolution weighs on everyone’s minds)
Phrases like “you must be fun at parties”, the excessive sarcastic ellipsis… and a repeated emphasis on minute details for the sole purpose of being hostile and condescending towards your fellow poster instead of responding positively or neutrally all remind me of why I left Reddit.
Its polite to avoid using gendered language toward people you don’t know, especially toward someone who has their preferred pronouns/gender clearly visible. Our instance also has a large representation of trans people who are often further made uncomfortable by gendered language, especially when it does not align with their identified gender.
Well i taught my children growing up it wasn’t the language, it was the intention.
They used to say “ahhh crap you” for example, because “crap” was "acceptable ".
However, the intention was to say “fuck you” and therefore not cool and not allowed.
I’m saying this because the intention wasn’t there to offend, it’s just an old saying by an old dude.
There are so many instances (settings for me is “All, New” so i see a huge variety of interesting things.) I hadn’t even noticed there was flair.
so yeah…gotcha. thanks.
Amazing how your longevity is changed with socialized medicine…
The best that money can buy is not socialised medicine because money can and does buy it
“Socialized medicine” is a Reaganite term and I hate it.
I think you both missed the “socialized medicine for me, fuck you for thee”
Oh true…

even if it’s ironic, stop using redditisms. it’s incredibly uncomfortable.
i have no idea what you mean…like, at all.
You write in a manner common to Redditors.
Phrases like “you must be fun at parties”, the excessive sarcastic ellipsis… and a repeated emphasis on minute details for the sole purpose of being hostile and condescending towards your fellow poster instead of responding positively or neutrally all remind me of why I left Reddit.
Ah. Yeah sorry…not even trying to be ironic, just reacting to a dialog that was what i considered “waaaay” over the top.
You seem to be very wound up tightly and probably need to take a break from the internet if you see patterns like that everywhere.
I appreciate the info though…again not being ironic or anything else but face value.
I’m a woman, thanks

Socialism is when the government does stuff.jpg
(It’s not socialism when the bourgeoisie is still running the show 😉. You’re mistaking socialism for social democracy, the left wing of fascism.)
(bonus 👍 for using bourgeois properly in a sentence, hope that gets you laid)
