Jk
ehem
Lol it uses money
A communist utopia is moneyless
and also stateless
That's why it's called Utopia
Bro can you get a better resolution image?
Ever learnt high school math @frosty spoke
click on it
It's readable man
I did,it's crusty
Crusty ? Is that even a word ?
it's readable
and you can clearly see that nobody wanted to remain in that union
I legit gave an example
Let's represent the govt in percentage
I think you're talking about a different type of vote
I still have to backread
Oh and even the Russians didn't vote for the communists
yeah... their independence referendums...
Whatever, I feel like this place is a waste of time
I have no idea how he still thinks eastern countries are more developed than the west
Don't give him ideas
If they got what they voted for why were they rioting in the streets about it(and getting gunned down by the same guys men)
Just a look at the map of modern germany goes to show the stark divide of progress between the old west and east german borders
Also east is kinda developing, post soviets aren't
Japan China South Korea India
Not the complete dissolution of the union,Umberto
Remember when Stalin built a wall in Berlin just because people want to go west
Where the hell was democracy there
Yeah just goes to show how amazing life is in the communist states
Generally independence from the soviet union means independence from the soviet union but maybe i'm dyslexic
And would people have a madman in power for decades if twas a democracy ?
The state would like for you to think that was the case lol
I don't get it
Japan literally has buildings full of people In glorified homeless shelters to stay away from the streets and SK literally puts people on some MK Ultra BS just to become popstars,like seriously look it up
Man I'm pretty sure even the Soviet union is part of the UN
Current status of Japan is developed
Bro what, this is why I blocked you
ok, is that better than north korea or communist china?
Imagine having to recover from the horror they committed to a pacifist
Imagine the morals take a different course for the Japanese
even China is
is the Vatican the last bastion of the communist world? 
Both countries that America refuses to communicate with
...no?
Japanese thought Manchukuo belonged to them cus they spilled so much blood there and now the people are like timid as f
ok...?
they aren't part of the UN
I'd have to travel In those countries to see what it's like
They're both in the UN iirc
i was talking about the vatican
You do know that North Korea doesn't just let people in
Ah I see
Every time NK tries to talk to America they get cut off,and I can't trust the news because basically all of it is owned by BlackRock
I'm pretty sure it's actually the other way around
Each time North Korea talks to the west it always comes with missile threats bruh
As sure as your parents were of keeping you,which isn't alot my friend.
wow who could of guessed that the country that looks like this at night is hard to communicate with
Damn bro that's deep
FAKE IMAGE, SATELLITE IS WESTERN MADE
Whoa I knew they were done in but this is just dark lmao
Bro that satellite image ain't shit
omg
you want a different angle?
@frosty spoke You do know that North Korea had a better start than South Korea after the civil war right?
You didn't even compare it to a map of common life density
SK is denser
Wdym a different angle
a different satellite image
Sure I guess
Man just go to google earth
The difference in urban development is that obvious
North Korea's only urbanized area is in their capital Pyongyang
Which is very evident in the satellite photo provided above
And even if there isn't slot of light at night,why do they need it? That's when they gotta be sleeping because...they're humans
Being up at those times is not good for you
Or maybe it's because the infrastructure in North Korea isn't developed
did your mom tell you that?
like think for half a second
There's barely any context with that photo
Bro we just told you
.
Yes. So do doctors in general
You want labels?
Don't ask me,just post them
yeah drinking is also bad for you, won't stop us humans tho
Okay @frosty spoke why exactly do you think that communist societies are that better
ok, white = light, dark = not light
Do you believe in the labor theory of value commonly praised upon by the workers of communism?
Drinking in moderation is okay. However you need that sunlight.
Regardless,wtf is your point with this image
Dude that doesn't mean people who are awake at night never go outside during the day
that north korea is a hell hole and you don't need CNN to figure that out
Like do you even sleep at 7pm???
Man defending North Korea is the worst example to use to praise communist societies
You' be better off with China and the Soviet Union
So you're saying that a country is a hell hole,because it's not bright at night?
I've seen landmines that are less sensitive
???
what?
What's with the landmines?
That's my question. You're ridiculous rn
Dude it's pretty simple, you need lights at night for everything
How would you drive a truck to deliver food on the highway if there weren't any streetlights?
It's not man
You highly underestimate the logistical need for light infrastructure
like the vast majority of countries have night lighting due to roads, shops, night clubs, people still up, hospitals, etc
Don't communist societies praise the concept of work?
Having light allows you to work at night
And there are people who choose to prefer to work at night too
Like what would happen if the hospital is closed at night and people were having an accident at that particular time
Well,can you show where all those things would be while comparing with an image of the same place with the satellite image
It's in google earth
well in north korea... they don't have those
You can take a look for yourself
Because all I see is a hunch that something might be bad,not real proof
It's not a hunch
It's real
Provide proof there's no hospital
Nooooooooooo that's not the point
The claim here is that North Korea's infrastructure is lacking because it refuses to focus on civilian initiatives
you want me to prove that something doesn't exist?...
at a country wide scale
Maybe if the U.S accepted communication we could actually know about the infrastructure
Dude, before you critique capitalist societies you should first think about how food reaches your table from across the globe
the USA isn't the only country in the world
You have no proof that it doesn't exist and no proof that it does exist
It's a satellite image
Well it's where I live,so information barriers that affect it affect me
I have no proof that unicorns exist and no proof that they don't, therefore unicorns exist
BRO YOU'RE IN THE US
No it doesn't, you still have access to foreign media
Hospitalsâ a unicorn
You guys are the most privileged people in this world
In north korea they are both rare
You guys have cars and roads everywhere
Yeah,in the same political sphere
and a large industry to support your population
China is the same political sphere as you?
Yet you complain about the hard labor of your own citizens?
I can't get NK news or Chinese news unless I do some Watch_Dogs type of operation
Dude
Also the USA has a vast range of media, from conservatives to liberals and from liberals to socialists
wow, watch dogs operation
Socialists in the western political hemisphere
You think we all live in a hivemind?
Yeah they do exist
Just like you for example
You're a US citizen man
@frosty spoke Do you know that many people from third world countries wish to have a job in the US
What is this
chinese state media
Or maybe do you not know that perspective because you haven't experienced it
Man I live in a poor country, and people who come back from work in the US can bring enough money to feed 5 families
The pay here is shit, and the only way to get money is to work abroad
Bro just stop talking about North Korea,we can't discuss what's there because there's not enough information. We don't have Google maps or anything of the sort and we don't have time to review the entire country
Dude you have google maps
You're an American, not a North Korean
I can't casually see what buildings are operating like I would if I had a VPN or something
You don't need a vpn bruh
That's not how google maps or vpns work
Idk even know what browser you're using
bing
That's bing
but works with anything
It's a link to google earth
And If I can access it that easy,I wouldn't know where to search
And it's a search engine, not a browser
I gave you the link already
Especially with the algorithm keeping me away on purpose
Go to the map of North Korea, and compare it to the likes of Seoul
...north korea
I'm on chrome
We already gave you the link, there's no excuses for you now
what algorithm mate?
You can still use the link
We're talking about news sites from those sites
North Korea doesn't have internet
Algorithm on basically every American browser
Because it wants to keep its citizens in the dark
Algorithms are determined by what you search
It doesn't stop you from clicking a link...
They would obviously try to prevent me form seeing agenda from those places
Noooooooooooooooooooooo
Bruv we can click it
again
And we live in a western society
you can access chinese state run media
There's nothing stopping us from clicking it
That one too
And the PRC heavily communicates internationally
We even have chinese built bridges in my country lmao
also if that was true, how come you can watch your hakim guy?
Albeit they have to use a VPN
because their government is actually banning them
Unlike ours
In the same way that you can still use LiDAR to search for an abandoned ancient civilization,but it's hard because they have S.A.M sites so I can't use the plane I normally would to scan the area
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
LIDAR is from satellites
They can't stop me,but they can try to bury it deep in search
a SAM cannot hit a satellite
wdym they can't stop you?????????? you alone are the one refusing to click the link
We're already providing it to you and yet you're still skeptical
literally the first recommendation
like stop living in a fantasy world
Dude clicking a link is not hard
Just like there was ways politicians geographically made it hard for some demographics to vote,but it's still possible
How is that related to the internet???
Except why would you expect me to casually know what global times is?
Stop living in a fantasy world
Because unlike you, Umberto does not live in a bubble
idk because it's kind of common knowledge, especially in communist circles?
They bury that information on China deep in the search
Noooooooooooooooooo
Bruv they don't
We literally have American factories in China
i literally showed you that it was the first fucking result
Have you been in Communist circles?
YES
It just goes to show how open Chinese society is compared to North Korea
Bruv we're already showing you
You're just assuming that I know about global times
Which
wdym which?
Can you please type on google the website provided above
If that doesn't appear, then you win this argument
I would imagine there's many Communist/Socialist circles
Also I wonder,which country do you live in
type global times and we can talk later
@frosty spoke Stop dodging, and finally show some proof
I already explained. It's only easy if you know where to search
Google pal
It's already there
just type "global times" and take a screenshot of the propositions
They try to stop you from knowing where to search that type of stuff with the algorithm
Do you only browse the internet via recommended articles???
Because that's the only extent algorithms can influence you \
via recommendations
Algorithms do not prevent you from searching up wikipedia
Nor does it prevent you from searching Global times
Where's the times
Type it
yeah because i made a typo
Can you still type it?
@frosty spoke
Show it to us
Because I can see the site perfectly from my browser even though if I live in a western country
There
Global times china
As you can tell, nothing is stopping you from reading chinese media
Even the chinese can watch western media
Albeit with restrictions
Like how youtube or discord is banned in China
Plus
@frosty spoke Are you well aware of TikTok?
That's a chinese app
And yet we westerners can still use it because it isn't banned
The CCP still has more restrictions 
I can search for global times and get their site,but why would I if I've never heard of them?
yeah and tik tok is basically spywhere
Peeps peeps
You just heard of it now
because you live in a bubble
good luck with that
that wasn't the debate
Actually not really
The USSR still used money and still had a government
Communism is anarchistic in nature
That's what I was talking about. The perosnal bubble of information, the algorithm
they implemented marxism-leninism
you did this to yourself
After 69 years of what
Do you know how do algorithms work?
Communism depends on who youâre taking the ideals from
Exactly
Of a regime
life isn't social media, you can still look up stuff, ask around and read what you want
of hell
Algorithms are determined by what you consume
From what time did the 69 period start
And from where
what does that have to do with anything?
He likes to dodge the topic
He's completely losing the argument that the US government is censoring Chinese media from him
I guess @silent orbit we won this one lol
I gotta know specifically what he's talking about
"This isn't 1st grade math class"
well we were talking about the "algorithm" censoring you but we already demonstrated that it wasn't the case, so ig nothing
@silent orbit you would know if you were a tech guy,but I hope this helps you understand how algorithms effect our information poolhttps://youtu.be/OuU3UfRM2pE
Every user of social networks sees content custom-tailored for him or her. But who decides what will be interesting to whom? DW explains how the algorithms on social networks do their job.
See more videos in our playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT6yxVwBEbi1Buc7NDdT0pAll0DAWroe1
Yeah we know that
again, life isn't social media, you are free to read, search, ask and think
Algorithms just influences what's on your feed and recommendations
MIT grad student Joy Buolamwini was working with facial analysis software when she noticed a problem: the software didn't detect her face -- because the people who coded the algorithm hadn't taught it to identify a broad range of skin tones and facial structures. Now she's on a mission to fight bias in machine learning, a phenomenon she calls th...
And that's determined by what you search
âïž
If you aren't seeing chinese media, it's likely because you never searched for it in the first place
It's not just social media,it's google,bing,and anywhere you would get facts or statistics
Books? 
People?
Documents?
Seminars?
Wanna give some money?
Only the recommended articles
It doesn't stop you from searching it up
Assuming I run into specific people
Just like a while ago where you managed to search up Global news
You have this beautiful thing called a university
I'd get declassified documents from the internet
Or from archives
Don't assume that I'm capable of that in the current moment

A two year old can enter a university library with an adult
There's alot of reasons I could not be in uni,so don't assume
Don't have the time or resources
Like the algorithm?
then that's on you
damn
Don't assume things about my personal life
not cancel culture
Yeah and don't assume about ours either
That's off topic.
Are you debating,or trying to mock me?
He's only proving a point
When did i?
uh oh
Just take a week-end
Don't say "uh oh" WHEN DID I
.
UH OH
he gotchu now
And he says I'm a troll lmao
Look bro just stop assuming what arrangements I can make. My primary source is what's available on the internet,so let's use what we have here to debate. Especially because it's a debate on the internet
Got what
You clearly have enough time to justify absolutely horrid regimes đ€·ââïž
Stop digging into my personal life :/
This is supposed to be a debate,not an interrogation
Also I didn't ask for your opinion,I asked for a debate..as referenced in the title
i didn't ask you
That's not personal
He's just saying you have enough time
Stop trying to shoot low blows about how I spend my time. It's not proper debate etiquette
It's not an insult
if you can spend time on discord, you can certainly spend time researching is whatâs he is saying
Neither is this etiquette
đ
Now this is an insult
damn
Really offensive
Don't worry about my time,where i travel,what school I go to, what I eat for dinner,or what shape my feces comes out in
I could maybe report it
We don't
I don't give a damn about how you spend your time, you just clearly have a lot of free time
If I did have the opportunity to read some books about Marxist theory and whatnot. Beyond that you mind your business.
you are currently using your free time on discord
there you go mate
mate
It's free bruv
And cheap too
I got mine for just 5 dollars
With one choice lol, I can say North Korea have elections as well
Didn't know they had his whole manifesto for free I'm used to them having books on paywall.
I guess I'll read it when I have appropriate time to
It's not a paywall
Well kind of
Things would always have a price
old books don't have paywalls
Society would collapse if everything was free, since that's literally just widespread looting
Usually from where I'm looking all books are on pay wall
We just gave you a free book
There's a ton of free pdfs online
it was literally the first search result for it 
That is..unless essential goods are free
You think water should be free?
Who's gonna pay the workers on the water factory?
And I didn't search,because I thought it would be on paywall. What don't you understand
Do you want the worker to be unpaid?
Work for free live for free
if you live your life by assuming you can't do anything you won't do much
You can always live in the mountains
But I guess you want to enjoy the luxury of modernity
So slavery?
Someone still has to pay to get essential goods made, and if the government pays to get them made then the government has to make money in different ways, like raising taxes. So essentially you are still paying for essential goods, just in a different way
Think of money as speech
We comfortably have alot of food and water to distribute amongst all of us
Odd concept, but it's just how we communicate what's the value in things
We don't
We have to purify the water
And groundwater is lacking too
Grow food
Slavery but all of us are working for eachother
Bruh
You must be oppressive
Farmers can live for free by simple Taking a share of their own resources
I don't like talking with oppressive people
What if I want to be an artist?
Should I just starve?
I'm just framing it as a form of slavery because that's what you asked
Because I'm not a farmer?
There would be no incentive to do more then the bare minimum
I'm simplifying
Depends on said bare minimum
The bare minimum in this case is just working to eat
So feudalism?
Never heard of it,define it
Peasents in the medieval ages can live for free under the protection of a lord given if they shared their harvest
They still used money though
There would be no incentive to innovate, do dangerous jobs, get a higher education, work a harder job, because everyone regardless of your job gets the same things at the end of the day
Because money is indispensable
have you at least read any marxist political theory books?
Tbh my commie manifesto is just rotting beside me XD
Only skimmed it
it's quite boring ngl
Why would I become a neurosurgeon if I can get the same things as I would working at McDonald's?
Dude exactly đ
Well cuban doctors worked for less than can drivers in the pandemic but they still worked there and worked hard. Most of innovation comes from people just wanting to do something instead of caring about the money
But it's still nice to be paid right?
Who would want to work for free lol
Tetris wasn't created for profit,but because some soviet uni kid just wanted to make a good game
Imagine 3 kids starving just because their parents aren't being paid
He sold for free
Dude that's not why we invent things
We invent things like Iphones because people want it
Not because of just profits
Then why did he make tetris
Because he Wants to
Well I don't really see apple being called innovative anymore
They still are
Albeit slower now
The fact that capitalist countries consistently had better technology then their communist counterparts says otherwise. And yes, there are those who do jobs like being a doctor because they want to regardless of pay, but the vast majority of people do it for the pay as well.
Things like the new MacBooks are praised among creators and students
It wouldn't be a meme that they literally upgrade the phone by 1% and slap a new number on it
A Macbook can run serious hardware without needing a fan
Why would anyone join the army if they wouldn't get paid anymore then a McDonald's employee?
That's not true
Apple still makes changes to other specifications
Consistent brainwashing and false advertising
There's a whole video on how they trick people into joining the army,I'll link if you want
You're literally basing your opinion off a meme bruh
We know that lol
But at least it ain't forced
Maybe because socialist countries were just getting on their feet
Like conscription in the communist countries
Actually not true
Estonia innovated way more post 1991
Don't forget capitalist countries had like an 400+ year headstart
Provide examples
nope, Taiwan, South Korea, all the warsaw pact nations
And didn't socialists stole capitalist property?
I'm referring to your "perfect society" and how there's no incentive to do more then the bare minimum, like doing dangerous jobs
they are leaders in voting online for example
That's one huge head start
They stole hard work of 400 years
Not to mention no one to contest them
Ever heard of a war?
Sure, they've been getting on their feet since 1922
What's so innovative about them? Start talking
BRUHHHHHHHHHHHH
DUDEEEEEE
Taiwannnn
Is where all the computers come from
Heard of TSMC?
They manufacture all the high end chips
ROC leads in computing, south korea in anything electric
As opposed to America,who has been what it is today since like 1600
Actually the Dutch invented capitalism
Not the US
America isn't the only country out there
Like okay @frosty spoke
- Who is ROC?
- Which South Korean companies
I am
Compare PRC to ROC
And it's one of the most technologically advanced countries
đ
Republic of China aka Taiwan
I AM THE ROC skyler
We have companies like Samsung, which is from South Korea
Which is why it was an example
About this @frosty spoke
Compared to who?
Everyone
I didn't ask you
Taiwan is often considered as a breakaway entity from the PRC, and yet even with its lack of resources it still managed to beat the PRC by decades when it comes to computer technology
am i wrong tho?
From what I've seen,often times yes
And at the end of the Civil war, North Korea was better than them
objection your honour, hearsay
And yet we can see South Korea is the prime examples of what a rich country looks like
No
Taiwan arguably holds a monopoly over the semiconductor industry
@keen wind still waiting for that comparison btw
Just one corporation alone is producing half of the world's entire semiconductor supply
I gave it to you
The best processors too
let the poor man live
Everyone
Bro has the audacity to call Taiwan a loser in the semiconductor industry
Explain in detail!
This video is about Taiwanâs biggest company and its crucial strategic relationship to Apple. It is the one of the top 20 biggest companies in the world by market capitalization but hardly anyone outside of Taiwan has heard of them. They are one of Apple's most important strategic partners - Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company or TSMC.
It's one of the things why China is so obssessed with Taiwan
Even if it's just an island
Now looking over it,the USSR had the most innovation of all time
Actually no
Their computer industry failed
They aren't even alive anymore to innovate
I don't recall the USSR developing Nuclear technology first
HEAVILY revised version of my USSR Innovations video. It has a good 5 minutes of new content and much of the overall editing and visuals have been improved upon as well, so even if youâve already watched the original video this new version has a lot more to offer.
The first half of this video explores technological and artistic innovations in t...
They made great innovations, but far too little compared to the west
Nobody innovated as much as they did when they were around,so it's safe to say they would be dominant if they were still here
They literally collapsed
How is that innovating
Okay,what did the west innovate during the soviet era
You must've forgot about the moon landings
They litterally got sabotaged, once again bro
The Soviets sabotage the west too
Heard of the KGB?
The space race? Soviets tore that right open.
Sabotaged internally
It takes more technological skill to land a person on a moon than to send a probe to mars
Oh yeah
The US invented the internet too
And the first computers such as the ENIAC
The Cold War saw a competition between the worldâs two great powersâthe democratic, capitalist United States and the communist Soviet Union. Both sides would fight to have the best technology in space and who could achieve the âfirstsâ.

Remember when IBM and Apple gave birth to modern desktop computers?
Getting the first mf in space is insane compared to just the first guy on a hollow planet
Bro it's not
Soviets had the first mobile phone of all time
Space is also more void than the moon
And yet it was Motorola that pioneered it
Man
Do you know just how complex the Saturn V is?
They only innovate when they need to get recognized.
Look where Apple and IBM are now. doing NOTHING!
wdym nothing
I just sent you a vid where it says Apple made groundbreaking progress in chip technology for mobile devices with the help of TSMC
Dude do you even know an apple device?
I own some, and they're crazy good
When they had to get off the ground
Now they make money of of brainwashing the youth
You're brainwashed
Anyways
Imma go sleep now
Just go watch those asianometry vids I sent you
When
Also what about that Chinese camp full of Suicidal slaves they got for their chips?
Idk about that
If you mean Xinjiang
That's a problem for the PRC
not the ROC

Foxconn microchip plant

I wasn't talking to you

Holy shit what the fuck is this chat
i returned after 2 days
and its gone into china or something
I'm more on the pro soviet side on some arguments about ww2 (molotov-ribbentrop pact, human wave attacks, poland) but this is just cancer
@broken lodge well we were talking about innovation and then bebsi mentions Apple and then...
I know this was a while ago but the Soviet Union was a part of the UN
even their puppets were part of it, plus Ukraine and Belarus
Ye
I donât think all of them counted as individual members though, since if they were it would essentially give the USSR tons more votes than other countries
I don't think puppets are the right word, Ukraine and Belorussia were actually apart of the USSR, The Polish People's republic and the GDR are more of puppet states
Tell that yo my parents
Its hard not to fail at something that doesnt work in the first place
Christ why am i coming back here
This whole debate is making my last two braincells braindead
I don't think he even had the experience to live in a communist state let alone can they grasp the efficiency of capitalist systems
ffs why do people keep thinking of profit as exploitative, it's literally just a number that indicates the success of your sales and how sustainable your business model is
Commies really like to think that all capitalist industries are monopolies when really that isn't the case
And monopolies either aren't that stupid levels of corrupt since apparently in real life the free market doesn't exactly exist since there's this thing calle Government regulations
You can't just sell a car to the market without it having an airbag
my parents were literally born in polish peoples republic
I mean
You wouldnât see legit monopolies in the US since USA has anti-monopoly laws
That one too
While creating competition, its killing the companies which cannot skyrocket in sales
Forcing some to make trends to skyrocket
Unfortunately trends do die out
Like bell bottom pants
Popular in the 60-early 80s
Then it died out
Its coming back now
you can ask the US Class 1 railroads
There's one bitsy flaw with the monopoly thing with capitalism though
T e c h
Some techs are just so stupid good there's literally only one goddamn company in the entire planet that can pull those shit off
Yeah

That's why i said plus since even tho they were part of the USSR, they had UN votes
insulin
Or rather,all the companies that would have done way better were bought out and the technology never came to the surface. The only innovation in capitalism takes place when
1.You're getting on your feet as a company
2. You're marketing,because after people like you the product could be literally dogshit and the brainwashing will still work
Chinese products be like:
3-4 companies literally decided to have the same hyper inflated price (that literally kills diabetics FYI)
I was thinking of apple when I wrote that,but it easily applies to most stuff
WHAT THE FUCK OMG THAT IS JUST AWWWW HELL NO WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST READ
apple is an american company
Once you get diabetes
Youâre diabetic for life
It's the truth. I'm sorry that you can't handle anything of the sort,but that's what happened
Yeah but there is insulin,that used to be 1$ in modern USD but capitalism did its thing and now it's too expensive
Nah im just yelling bc i wanna and being overdramatic
Fyi medicine here
Aint cheap
Never was
Never has been
And never will be
In the nation that drives people to diabetes especially
Correction
The USDA is trying to prevent that
Unfortunately
People dont fucking listen
And what happens when you manage a country of 330+ million ppl?
almost half that or more will not listen
https://youtu.be/7Ycd8zEdoVk my boy
Insulin prices have tripled in the last 15 years. Three manufacturers produce insulin for the United States drug market and their prices don't seem to show signs of decreasing any time soon. Why is insulin so expensive?

Ussr so poor they can't even afford coffins for the millions they killed
They're good in meme culture, I'll give em that
Took a look at the video
And it was just as i thought
Capitalism
At
Its
Finest
Insulin is high as hel bc of competitors
Basically yes
Even critics of capitalism are well aware on just how efficient it is
^
You do know Insulin price is a US problem
Capitalism can be good and bad its just how you perceive it
It is
hooray, paladin left
Its about $100 in the US while itâs like $15 in Japan
True true, not a capitalist problem
He went offline but yeah
Man just mad bc i already knew this
In a true capitalist society, no taxes means people actually get money to buy the insulin
Funny
Besides medicine is one of those things that are naturally expensive
It's literally man's invention to sidestep death
so whatâs an overdose?
It's surprising to be even think that they sell such technology and medicine for cheap when only a handful thousand of people know how to create those and yet it gets distributed to millions
Before you critic the price of a product, ask yourself first if you can even make it
Then you'll realise just how cheap even a 1000 dollar phone is considering the gargantuan effort to invent and produce it
Afterall, don't socialist states praise for the welfare of the people
At least that's something capitalism can actually provide
If you're talking about insulin,it used to be 1$
A man DIED because he couldn't afford it after he stopped getting his mom's insurance coverage. 50% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. The vast majority if Americans can't afford 1000$ bills kn an emergency. The wealth of the wealthy does not count. It's about the wealth of the average man and woman
So were going ignore how a man died because of the insane prices?
Okay, naturally people would just die too
Medicine is a privilege
We do not win corporate wars. The corporations do.
Because he couldn't afford the insulin that used to be 1$ a month
Okay and?
Imo insulin should be more expensive than that
Now it's 400-1000 a month
Sounds cheap to me
In America with the worst healthy problems in a "developed" nation
Or bc he wasnât financially literate?
Exactly
Natural selection bruv
Incompetence is death
That's an assumption.
You're just assuming how smart he is.
I see stupid mistakes being made with money everyday
Lol wth is a corporate war
That's just classic competition
Perfectly normal
Ever heard of competition?
And then there's the fact that you shouldn't have to be a finance expert to survive in the economy
Wanting profit?
Wanna know what's not normal, when corporations get collaborate or are supported by the state
You quite simply don't know how smart the guy was
You dont need to be one to see how the US economy works
So if he's dumb he should've just died?
At the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives?
Lol who gives a shit when people die naturally
I'd rather choose dying from diabetes than in a gulag
You canât avoid it
I LIVE here.
It's a shithole for anyone but the 1%
Good choice
Hey, sunny boy, i live in fucking ohio
Lol you're an American, you have no right to complain about living standards
More people have it worse
^
If you can only think of the bad things the union did (especially things it removed) you shouldn't debate about it
This is not the trauma Olympics
And regarding your negative views on capitalism?
^
The USSR did some cool things too, but man did the west just do way more
I don't remember the USSR producing intel or amd chips
Josh Wilkerson had a bright future ahead of him â he was planning his wedding with his fiancĂ©e, he was working two jobs with the goal of one day buying a home, he was âdad'â to a beloved pit bull and he was so excited about teaching his fiancĂ©e's niece how to play softball â and then the exorbitant price of insulin stole that future.
Perfectly normal
Lmfao
Medicine is a privilege not a natural right
Once again I fucking live in the country,and I (in my objectively superior opinion of the current economic status due to me living here) will tell you 1,200 a month is ABSURD
Just get financially literate and combat it
Dude it's a month
Skill issue
That's like 30 dollars a day
Perfectly fine for american
And how many months are there in a year?
12
You guys have high wages anyway
1,200x12=?
So skill issue
Nope
Homie wdym no
15-18 isnât a high wage
Now i now none of you dudes read the ARTICLE
34 is
We only get paid 400 usd here
Some guy just died
I don't see why I need to dive deeper into the details
How is it our fault that 3 insulin competitors drive up the proce?
Exactly
Not even capitalism
FDA canât do shit to regulate it
Capitalism dislikes big corp monopolies
So shitting om capitalism with the use of monopolies as an example is just plain dumb
After some quick reasearch,it appears that it's literally more than his car payments
Okay, then get rid of the car?
You have literally no clue about how the economy is down here
^
Down here?
Boy, which state
Even McDonald's employee can afford that
For a system that hates big corp monopolies,it sure does have alot of big Corp monopolies
That's because it's not capitalist
You have to also factor in all his other payments
I hate to break it to you man, real capitalism hadn't been tried yet
^
We only have fractions of it
And the fragments that do exist are the best
11 companies that owns all
Imagine a 100 percent capitalist society
Rent payments,car payments,heating bills,water bills, etc
Just get a better credit score
Skill issue
Like i said
Not many americans are financially literate
At least in the US you have a choice
It's because real capitalism always devolves into "cronyism" or what ever copium charged term you conservatives use
Get rich or stay broke
Dude no lol
Capitalism calls for no state at all
It's like the choice between drowning or burning
And if it isn't real capitalism,why tf are you still defending it
It's just a fragment
But it still works
My stand is I wanna make it full blown capitalism
Instead of it into degenerating into state support communism
The government literally drives people away from financial literacy
Nah
Yeah so blame the govt
They just dont teach it
Not the companies lol
Think about this:mindless drones are more profitable
Lol no
** AYO FUCKIN EDUCATION GIMME DIS CLASS OR IMA FUCK U UP**
Guy hasn't heard about marketing yet
So they create something that is as close as possible
Dumb people can't make choices on what products to buy
So why is the government making mindless drones
I hope you realize, that our education system, is NOWHERE near the finnish education system
Because the government doesn't give a shit about profits
Any intelligent person can fall to brainwashing
They are lazy fucks just filibustering to get paid
They donât?
How is advertising brainwashing
^
They don't?
They've got taxes
Fights a war over taxes
Ask Tim cook
Taxes and all those other things like idk tariffs or something
Who?
Lazy people are a myth.
Governments can afford to be inefficient since they can just bleed people dry with taxes
^
Private companies do not have this luxury
Exactly,you don't actually know anything about how it is here
And as such forces them to be competitive
Anyways I assume this forum post had imploded into utter lunacy judging by the tittle
Lol it's true
Oi, american, which fookin par of the damn states are ye from?!
Imagine justifying laziness đ
Instead the private company evades taxes
Yes
As it should be
â
Bc they know how to not pay taxes by deductions
Taxes harm profits
Which in turn harms efficiency
In turn
Plus loopholes in government legislation
Harms jobs
It happens (shockingly)
Eeeexactly
Products would be cheaper if there are no taxes involved
Now
Humans naturally seek out (useful and healthy work) nobody wants to camp at home and collect welfare all day.
Bc wellfare pay is fucking shit pay
So true my friend
That's socialism for you
Tbh socialism or not, I donât care about it
Elaborate
As long as the government does a good job of governing and being competent
Capitalism doesn't have welfare
That is for me
Every man for himself
You need to create one for yourself
Ever heard of unemployment?
Aka fork out an unreasonable amount of cash to get it
Ever heard of getting off that ass and getting to work?
Eh
That's Cannibalism.
Fork out 2% of income, invest, compund and voila
Referring to the US healthcare or well modern healthcare in general
Which in practice is synonymous with capitalism
FINANICALLY!! This guy lmao
Yeah that's the shitty part, if you think about it Governments are just corrupt large businesses
Since healthcare is slowly getting unaffordable in where I live sometimes (Iâm not an American)
Sucks
Paladin
What state u from?
I mean by that case, we are technically living under a corporate
Bro are you high
So not far fetched
Pretty much
We are all living under a British east India company fr
Well maybe not but point stands
Not literal,but still a form of a degenerate society that works by people destroying eachother
Yeah
Perfectly normal
Just like natural selection
which.. state⊠areâŠyou⊠from???
Survival of the fittest
Cap
the troll god has arrived
AFK
BRO IS DITCHING ME đ€Ł
Rly just an American issue
True
He said every man for himself
Not a capitalist issue
Yeah and that's perfect
financially speaking ofc
K thatâs normal, individualism
^
Thatâs how the West be
Lol it'd so funny if you live a life just because of the government
That's so pathetic
Looks at China
Imagine owing your existence to rhe state
I don't think Paladin embraces the concept of freedom
He places the state above it
The first one
Yeah he's pretty much that guy
Authoritarianism is pretty grey
Nationalism still is bound to the state
If you do it well like Singapore, rewards be pretty good
Ehh yeah
Nationalism is the idea, authoritarianism is the structure
Hmm
It largely boils down on how efficient the hierarchy is
Whether it be top down or a bottom up structure
The problem is when you mix dogma into it
True
Wonât deny that
Most autocratic governments collapse once the egos of the rulers get inflated or well
Damaged
Yeah
If it's every man for himself,why don't I nuke earth to shit and hide away in a bunker for the rest of my life?
Wdym cap
Perfectly fine
It's your free will anyway
Do you agree with the actions?
Anything really
Cus you canât?
So long as I also have the choice to reject it
Itâs a lie
But if I could...why not? It's every man for himself
But you canât
Yeah you could
I don't care at all
@robust zinc would you nuke the earth to shit and hide away in a bunker? Yes or no.
Granted doing it is impossible
I wouldn't
But I'm perfectly fine if anybody wants to
Well why are you saying every man for himself if you wouldn't do something of the sort?
So long as they too are also perfectly fine that I'd stop them
Heâs choosing to not do it
You do know that man can still be selfish without having the need to harm others
Then why is he saying "every man for himself"?
Because thatâs how the world can be
Then don't say "every man for himself".
People prioritizing themselves over others
Wdym no
It's valid
Bruh do you even know what being selfish means
If I were to do that right now,I would be following your logic.
The statement itself lacks nuance
Why speak a savage narrative if you reject savage people?
I'm pretty sure everybody understands that sentence perfectly well
How is it savage if I just let people do what they will
