  • Yeah when I say fix healthcare I mean universal healthcare. ACA was a bunch of half-assed bullshit.

    I wouldn’t say that fixing healthcare is a prerequisite for fixing transportation. Shitty people on transit aren’t as big of an issue as people on reddit (and now lemmy I guess) make it out to be, and frankly I’d prefer those people were on buses or trains instead of behind the wheel of a two ton death machine. Besides, there are plenty of shitty drivers who aren’t mentally unwell, so it’s not as though solving healthcare is going to do much to fix the issues with transit.

    But yeah I agree, dismantling capitalism and the fascists supporting it is necessary to fix either problem. The oil industry is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, anyway, so there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be getting rid of them.

    If you want to live a more peaceful and calm life, that’s totally okay. But it is probably better that YOU looked into a new place to live (a house by the beach or the woods perhaps?) rather than expecting society to adapt to your needs.

    So if you’ve been robbed three times, why don’t you look into a new place to live instead of expecting society to adapt to your needs?




  • That’s capitalism, baby. It’s always growth growth growth without end. Capitalists having a solid product/service that’s making them a constant stream of money is never enough, they have to keep making more and more money, even if it means making the product shittier and shittier and sucking every last possible cent out of the end user until the product is a ghost of its former self. But hey, shareholder profits are up half a percent in the last quarter, totally worth it.

  • Excellent example, because almost none of you cared about women’s sports in the slightest until you learned trans people were involved, so it’s quite obvious you’re making a fuss over it so you can have a “legitimate” excuse to spew bigotry. One very common argument I hear is “men shouldn’t be allowed to compete in women’s sports” which yes, this does in fact make you a transphobe, because as I’m sure it’s been explained to you a thousand times by now, trans women are women, not men.

    You can sit here and pretend “actshually it’s about fairness in women’s sports, not because we hate trans people,” but the rest of us can see through your bullshit. We all know what it’s really about.
