Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Even if you were to accept fascist "useless eaters" rhetoric as true, taking care of people who can't provide for themselves is kind of the point of society. If we can't do that, then what's the point? Might as well burn it all down and return to monkey.
Some anthropologists say the first sign of civilization is a healed femur. Someone who breaks their femur needs assistance throughout the healing process and likely afterwards as it impedes their ability to care for themselves, gather food/water, etc. So an individual that shows signs of having broken their femur and lived long enough for it to heal must have had some sort of support/care network of friends/family.
I guess what I'm saying is that neolithic hunter-gatherers had a better sense of community and mutual care than the modern healthcare system
Yeah, but they didn't have a profit motive to dRiVe InNoVaTiOn.
society is good because it's a structure you can exploit and steal wealth from, but society is bad because it's a structure that requires at least a minimum of maintenance. and we all know how neoliberalism deals with maintenance.
My favorite video just kinda displays how far from our own humanity we're straying when tossing people to the proverbial wolves.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Then they’re not ‘eaters’ are they? No one is being stolen from. Is a spare tire in a car ‘dead weight’?
