RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Americans who say socialism is good are fucking idiots.

In socialist countries, here is what actually happens

  • A small group of powerful people control most of the economy

  • People struggle to make a living due to high living costs and low wages

  • Most folks can't afford medical care

You seem to have mistaken socialism for capitalism there mate. But no shock there seeing as you are a 17 min old account posting something like this.

Not brave enough to post from your main?

You sound like my 79 year old mother who is against socialism. But would be homeless or dead without all the social programs paying for her healthcare, house repairs, food, hospice, surgeries, etc. No critical thinking skills at all.

You just described what's happening under capitalism

Is this irony? Was it meant to go to the shitpost community?

Sir uhh, i think you described USA.

[–] vegafjord@slrpnk.net 9 points 5 days ago

now, I don't think you genuinely believe this. seems more like you are trying to bait reverse psychology.

You're literally describing America

Troll? Sounds like capitalism to me.

Go to Sweden and see how oppressed people are under socialism.
