  • Feels like when my aunt told me the US' recidivism rate was only so high because we don't punish hard enough

  • The only thing more soulless than an education in Protestant Work Ethic is a secularized version of the same

  • Not left or right - forward

  • "We legally can't keep out every poor kid, so we need to make sure to hurt any that get through"

  • He writes and illustrates them

  • Imagine BEES

    What would you post then, huh?

  • They do, as much as any country that hasn't abolished private insurance. It's not ideal, but what is.

    The Chinese government has also established a healthcare insurance system that covers almost 96% of the population and benefits more than 1.36 billion people. This system includes basic medical insurance conducted by the government and commercial health insurance provided by various companies. Basic medical insurance is a great-covered social security course and collects the funds from enterprises and individuals. It consists of different insurances for working urban residents, non-working urban residents, and the rural population. Working urban residents pay the most insurance funds and have the highest reimbursement ratio, followed by non-working residents and the rural population [4]. As for the poor and vulnerable individuals, there is a special fund called urban-rural medical aid for serious illnesses, which covers those suffering from economic difficulties. As for the rich, they can also choose to purchase commercial health insurance individually to receive better medical service. As a result, more than 95% of China’s population is covered by the public insurance system.

    • Unironically fears a 'tyranny of the majority'
    • More worried about a comedian having to find another job than they are about multiple assault accusations

    • Shouting literally worse than calling for genocide
  • All commies are beastmode

    Also, shout out to the dweeb in there talking about the origin of 'tankie'. Always a huge own

  • Yeah, a lot of times that's what they mean, though I've also heard more "they will exterminate us" fear-fantasies from chuds than I would have expected. In general, they think that decolonization means getting colonized in the same way they assume that black nationalists are white-nationalists-but-black or that feminists want a matriarchy

  • Well I'm normally having the conversation with US conservatives in the context of responding to them moralizing against a non-US country or a domestic minority, and I'm normally doing it to get them to shut up and feel weird about it. Those conversations are framed in terms of morality for that reason, so what that looks like is the dissolution of every nation whose legal legitimacy depends on the doctrine of Christian discovery

    But I frame those conversations morally because our present is so starkly different from any idea of how things ought to be, except for a liberal one. This makes liberals, including conservatives, easy to disorient for a few minutes by disrupting their feeling that things are more or less as they should be

    Since you're actually asking, though, I don't know much about decolonial theory. I'm just a white southern-US baby leftist. The best I can do is point you toward Fanon for an examination of colonialism's structure and phenomena

  • When I've had the conversation in the image, it's never had a chance to go anywhere near policy talk. They bring up "But the scary brown people will do a revenge," as soon as you point out that the European colonial project was evil from its inception and remains so

    They think morality has something to do with geopolitics, and as soon as you point out the contradiction that "your story's heroes are actually villains" they experience dissonance and try to resolve it by applying their beloved moral symmetry

    If that's true, then we should be annihilated balanced against we haven't been annihilated, so that must not be the whole truth. This returns their minds to placidity

  • Back in my day, we walked to school. It was uphill, and we didn't even wear respirators! It was okay back then, before earth's atmosphere hit the 2% threshold for microplastics

  • For real if he's going to do this, why not at least do it from an account just named X? It would be the same amount of effort and would look only a fraction as pathetic

  • I don't know. I've been worried that it might have rabies after a raccoon bit it (long story, nothing weird)

    Good luck!

  • Ok but watch out, it bites

  • How dare you! Where most people have believe in an ideology, we centrists just understand common sense. Proud centrists such as myself understand that every problem has exactly two sides, and that the solution lies in the exact center between them
