“Her brain mri showed nothing”

“She’s all right”

“Oh thank god”

“I don’t know why you’re so happy, a massive stroke has made her lose control of the left half of her body so now she’s all right”

Amidst all the horrors in America, this shit at least gets a laugh out of me. I do what praxis I can, try and find time for some soothing hobbies after work, but sometimes all you can do is cackle and the hideous literary displays in action.

The best that money can buy is not socialised medicine because money can and does buy it

“Socialized medicine” is a Reaganite term and I hate it.

I think you both missed the “socialized medicine for me, fuck you for thee”

the point is that the government merely offering health insurance isn’t socialized medicine. it’s just public health insurance. it’s not even socialized healthcare if the government provided the healthcare too. socialism is about who controls the government. while it’s in bourgeois hands, it’s not socialized.

this matters because there’s a liberal push to water down what socialism means so they can offer tepid social democracy, call it socialism, and remove the teeth from the groundswell of leftist popularity.

(offer… not grant… there won’t be any concessions until the threat of revolution weighs on everyone’s minds)

Socialism is when the government does stuff.jpg

(It’s not socialism when the bourgeoisie is still running the show 😉. You’re mistaking socialism for social democracy, the left wing of fascism.)

  • making a sarcastic remark and not looking for some astute political insight…but thank you.

(bonus 👍 for using bourgeois properly in a sentence, hope that gets you laid)

I prefer her living actually. This is incredibly funny to watch, our leaders just visibly decaying to dust in front of our eyes.

I have a hunch that the US has the single longest unbroken streak of being led by decrepit people. Like even in the middle ages I can’t imagine an old demented king ruling for more than a few years before croaking or being deposed, right? I’d like an input from a historian but I’m at least pretty sure the US is in the top 5.

Only one I can remember off hand is Ramses II who lived to 90 after ruling for 66 years
