      Imagine bootlicking authoritarian governments when any reasonable democracy has free healthcare too.

      Just because it’s a different viewpoint from yours doesn’t make the meme stupid.

      I can’t believe the left call themselves tolerant and do this kind of shit.

        In some situations this “we should be tolerant of the other side” argument is valid. But in this case? No, this is a plain old stupid meme. It’s promoting a strawman argument in a largely incoherent way. So spare me your phony pearl-clutching.

        One good thing is that calling out this bullshit reveals all the people who can be blocked so I don’t have to see their nonsense.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

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