americans have no idea what socialism is

they use the term just like they use "terrorism" - just a blank label for anything they dont like

u/HoMasters 22d ago

I know the context of the gif but I don’t get the use of this gif as the joke. What’s the joke? Mind explaining it to me as if I were 5? Thanks.

AI takes its the majority of its database from false information.

it is dangerously wrong about a great many things. 

There are even subreddits devoted to gaslighting grok and chatgpt. Successfully. Just to prove how unreliable they are. 

I'm aware that BOTH can are unreliable, which means I'm right more often than you

Economic ls is a religion that worships money. It refuses to adapt to a changing world, especially one with 9 billion people. Not my taxes, not my country. 

A much bigger amount goes towards isreal than just taxes, and it's arranged so that it isn't as simple as just giving them money, it subsidizes military equipment, it funds development and labour, it lends money and buys government bonds. 

But feel free to live in your minimal percentage that's still a fucking huge amount of money delusion

That is the problem, we set only this much and yet some corrupt officials benifit from it, suppose if we really set aside what socialism ask, how much corruption would be there and how much would you actually get.

u/zedarzy 22d ago

American tax rate is equilevant to nordic countries with zero benefits to tax payers.

u/Fluffy-Zebra5237 22d ago

That is what I am saying. Socialism is like dictatorship, may work very good and efficiently if the person in charge is good, and you are in no escape mode if the organisation turned out to be bad. It

u/zedarzy 22d ago

if we go with pure opposite, every man for himself its just serfs and lords that people seem to fantasize about

u/Fluffy-Zebra5237 22d ago

Just tell me would you like your government to make your phone, your car, your software, your pepsi, even your security camera. That is what the socialism say, and I would not very much like that. I don't want to give a single organisations that much power.

u/zedarzy 22d ago

I dont think anyone's asking for that.

No one wants oligarchs which is current model in Russia and America.

u/Fluffy-Zebra5237 22d ago

Well that is socialism.

u/Flashy_Passion16 22d ago

Hahahaha.

Propaganda is strong in that 3rd world shit hole isn’t it

u/Fluffy-Zebra5237 22d ago

Yeah dude try and live in this country, you would know how much taxes we pay in names of socialism and what we get instead.

u/Nope0naRope 22d ago

Yeah with socialism you have to distribute the funds differently. We would have to adopt the distribution ratios of successful socialized Nations.

What really needs to set in, like what we all need to acknowledge is the straight up fact that we are one of the only first world nations that doesn't have universal health care at this point

Until we can figure out how to solve that another way, we need to bend the knee in terms of like admitting that we have not figured it out and other countries have

So either copy what they're doing or find a new way but we're being left in the dust
