  • To outlaw that while also not providing any replacement would be the same as sentencing tens of millions to die or suffer from treatable illness.

    Who the fuck is saying that? Literally I have never seen someone ever suggest that

    No one would need to directly be paying for healthcare or insurance in order for folks to have good care. In a system that doesn’t greatly reward antisocial behavior and policies is there any reason we couldn’t you know, maybe NOT require folks to pass any kind of barrier, financial or otherwise, in order to get care? The problem is not just that it’s done for profits. Even if all insurance companies had to be nonprofits, as long as we keep doing things this way (the system at large that is not solution focused with the goal of meeting needs effectively and responsibly, but is instead profit driven) they would still have to deny claims to remain afloat.

    Also, don’t pretend you give a shit about people suffering or not receiving adequate care when you’re an apologist for fucking UHC and Mr Dead CEO.


  • You have to be fucking kidding me 😂

    net positive compared to no health insurance

    Let me stop you right there. Health insurance is a blight on humanity. They do NOT provide healthcare. We have invented the need for insurance, the need for an intermediary who does not have medical expertise or training to be involved in decisions about healthcare. This is not a net positive in any way. A single denied claim makes it a negative. The millions of deaths caused by insurance companies were largely preventable. For everyone keeping score at home, that does appear to me to be what we call a “net negative”, unless they provide some incredible benefit that somehow wipes that all away.

    If people don’t want companies making massive profit of off peoples’ sickness and debts then there is a political party with that stance

    [Citation needed]

    But the US en masse keeps choosing suffering, choosing to create CEOs like Brian.

    What a fucking heartless statement of victim blaming. You appear to have no intersectional understanding, and no awareness of the actual reality faced by a large majority of USians.



  • Lol. No. That’s why I am challenging your racist eugenics based dystopia/utopia (depending on frame of reference) idea by asking logistics questions that you appear unable to answer because this is fiction. Please don’t insult me by pretending like that is equivalent to disparaging libertarianism as an ideology or even speaking on the salience of discussing libertarianism as a system for running a country. You’re alleging that this idea of yours is libertarianism, sort of, not me. Which by the way it really isn’t. Libertarianism =/= “I can be racist and take others land in order to avoid having to follow the laws, social and governmental, of the rest of society”. It’s not your “colonizer card”. I don’t even consider myself a libertarian BTW (never have) but this is just too stupid.

    Edited to add: this is not a defence of libertarianism or libertarians/libertarian voters. Thats a whole mess I gladly stay away from.




  • Okay. I’ll play along. Who / what country are you going to get to willingly give up their homes and land and everything that is included in that? With what resources will you ensure they are taken care of in… wherever they’re being deported to? Where, by the way, is that? I’m sure you’ve thought that far ahead if you’re serious about this. What will you do if someone doesn’t want to go from their home? I’m certain you have a non - genocidal answer, because you seem pretty sure this is happening peacefully. What about disabled and elderly folks that can’t travel at all let alone move to another country? You wouldn’t be suggesting eugenics and race based large scale ethnic cleansing obviously.




  • What?

    let people be racist somewhere

    No.

    Let them live their miserable life while there is no need to waste resources on making them treat all humans with respect.

    Where exactly is that supposed to happen? And how do you envision this working? You want us to enable a state run entirely by people who are racist and violent and give them their own place to do whatever they want? What exactly do you propose we do with the folks who live wherever this is already? Because it seems like in your scenario their choices are leave or live with racist assholes. Have you not even heard of Israel? Or are you just a racist fan of genocide?

    However, unlike the North after the war, help those who are stuck with them, to get away.
