Not to be controversial but there are many valid criticisms about public healthcare, such as insanely high taxes basically being more than an average medical bill and on average prolonged wait times
9
u/Redoran_Gvard Feb 02 '23
Those high taxes are mainly because the US needs to allocate so much money to fund its bloated worldwide military operations
If the US wasn't as militarised as it is today, the tax issues of universal healthcare wouldn't be as much of a problem. But of course that would simply never happen in our lifetime sadly

That is by far the most asinine argument against Mr. Beast, I've heard about this.
These people were blind, I'm sure 90% at least of all blind people would literally murder someone if it meant being able to see.
The other 10% are just nuts
People who make that argument should be forced to spend a month with thick blind folds over their eyes, and after they break down after a week be told now imagine this is was your life for years if not always.

It's probably best not to take those tweets seriously. Ableism would be forcing those with visual disabilities to undergo the surgery or exterminating people with a sight disability. Ableism is not providing a life-changing operation to 1,000 people whom wanted it.

And plenty of modern capitalist states do have a number of socialist policies in place, even the US (e.g. labor unions).

The issue with critiquing the American healthcare system is most people can't properly diagnose the root problems. It's all in the regulations. Regulations written by insurance companies and the healthcare providers and enacted by the politicians, from both sides of the aisle, paid off by the healthcare lobbyists.
Want to fix it? Get rid it the national regulations and allow the states to deal with it themselves. The federal government, as usual, has failed completely.

If there wasnt any capitalism, there would be no need for him to help, since the society has āoutgrown moneyā

2.: im not saying what he did was wrong, hell, it was one pf the nicest things one could have done in this capitalistic world
3.: with outgrown, i am refering to the fact, that the whole purpose of capitalism was to creative competition on marketfield, so products will be better and better to sell more than their competitors, since we reached the stage where products quality doesnt matter anymore, that is the point we outgrew money and should start looking for a more longterm working system

Which Soviet leader visited a grocery store and said if the Russian people could see this it would start a revolution? This same leader also wrote in his autobiography that that visit destroyed his views on communism.
Reagan was born before the USSR existed and outlived it. The Soviets were like the person who maxed out twenty credit cards before going bankrupt, but man life sure was great when they were spending! They went from superpower to third world country losing a war against one of their former republics.

I would rather live under Xi, Putin, or Mao back in the day than have to work a 9-5 and be able to rely on government assistance if I canāt get by. I would much rather starve and make it harder for others to become millionaires and billionaires.

Yes, fuck the system. But there are people getting pissed at Mr. Beast personally instead of the system.
