Counterpoint: I live in a country with free healthcare and I dont have to take a mortgage out to buy a carton of eggs.

Imagine bootlicking insurance leeches this hard.

Congratulations! You win the award for the stupidest meme of the week! 🎉🥇

[-] colonelp4nic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Whoa! Free award

[-] koregro@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Enjoy your downvote. I hope you read some books.

[-] MyFriendGodzilla@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

What trash is this?

[-] narr1@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

This being inane, asinine and banal at the same time must be a personal best for the maker of this comic

[-] grandel@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Posting this is stupid. Posting this on lemmy is like going to a nazi convention to talk about inclusion and tolerance. Wrong crowd buddy.

[-] vzq@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I’m sorry, can someone explain this to me?

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Americans think that universal healthcare is communism. And for Americans communism is the pure evil and thus they prefer to die because they can’t afford life saving treatments instead of working towards implementing an universal health care system.

Ah yes. Riding American exceptionalism all the way down.

[-] Glide@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago

The Canadian school system has begun replacing the term "special needs" with "exceptional." A student is "exceptional" and has "exceptionalities."

Seeing "American exceptionalism" has a completely different meaning to me now.

I thought this was a joke, but no, the euphemism treadmill never stops turning

I wouldn't waste your energy trying to understand it, if I were you. It's just the usual idiotic "FrEe HeALtHcArE iS cOmMuniSm!!1!" take.

There are plenty of countries that do free healthcare without resorting to authoritarianism.

[-] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 week ago

I think I read it wrong. I thought it was making fun of tankies. The mouse ignores the death trap for free cheese. The tankies ignore China's abuses and praise it because it has free healthcare? I used to see that sort of thing unironically all the time before I blocked grad and hexbear.

If everybody could get insulin (even if they stock shelves or got laid-off from a tech/gig company), that's when it's a Joseph Stalin.

If you are not either rich or in possession of a working pancreas, that means you have displeased god.

People will ignore all of the genocides and human rights violations communist countries are responsible for and only focus on the small handful of things it does right.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 2 weeks ago

Good ideas in theory don't always work the way we foresee, in practice. That doesn't mean we can't look at successes and failures and improve the practice or even the ideas. Interestingly, if communism never works, why are certain nations determined to rush in and topple fairly elected communist leaders, before we have a chance to see their ideas in action? Why was Evo Morales demonized?

You probably didn't explain it well. Have you tried taking your schizo meds?

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Genocides and human rights violations are America's top exports. When did we become commies?

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee -5 points 2 weeks ago

And here comes the whataboutism. 🙄

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Wrong, here comes deez nutz

[-] Lupo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Wait, I have another.
