@DrDoolittle412 @tunguz 3 options. Rights are granted by God, Government, or derived from logic. If you hold either the God or Government view, it means you believe rights are illogical.

Something that requires someone else’s labor can’t be a right.

Healthcare is a basic right. Not a privilege. Not a luxury. This World Health Day, we stand for access, protection, and care for all.

Every single argument against Marxism is a lie about Marxism.
This one is literally retarded.

“The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community. Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects - his laziness, incompetence, improvidence, or stupidity.” – Henry Hazlitt

Capitalist describing capitalism, again

In socialism, no one has any freedom at all, except for a very scant few at the very top of the power chain.

Crazy idea: Let's split a country in socialist and capitalist halves and check in on them in 75 years.

There is no such thing as capitalism. There is only barbarism we live in, a more advanced form of fascism.
The US Empire is a superior permanent war, infinite spending debt machine that Nazi Germany dreamed of but failed to be.
Capitalism is all about 19th-century bourgeois principles like "free trade", no interruptions to trade - concepts like sanctions go completely against that.
The bourgeoisie themselves don't even fully control nor fully understand the reins of the State and the barbarism/super-fascism mode of production. They are at the whims of it.
Capitalism died a long time ago. WW1 was the start, the interwar period and WW2 was the final nails in the coffin. FDR getting rid of the gold standard, introducing fiat currency, the rise of Hitler, etc. Barbarism.

@squatsons Kinda proves the point of capitalism is superior

Yes, because theft is morally wrong.

Q: "You said earlier today…that you would like to take Iran's oil." Trump: "Correct. If I had my choice…The old days, to the victim, okay, you know that, to the winner belong the spoils, go the spoils…We haven't had that in this country in probably 100 years…To the victor belong the spoils. We haven't heard that, in I think, maybe hundreds of years."

@TejuDuru @Kagome1337 @creepydotorg There are no recorded overdoses in history with LSD. That said, some people are too mentally frail to handle it. For those that can, they absolutely can have positive outcomes. 95% of people will be fine or benefit from it.
English
@Kagome1337 @creepydotorg Your take on this is quite interesting.
People need to take recreational drug to speak on it?
Interesting 🤣
Doctors and experts speak on this...but your take is that they aren't qualified to speak until they do drugs? 😆
Sorry, that cracked me up

A 46-year-old woman accidentally snorted 55 mg of pure LSD because she thought it was cocaine, roughly 550 times the normal recreational dose.
She vomited for 12 hours and remained under the effects of the substance for about 34 hours.
But when she woke up, the chronic foot pain she had suffered for over 20 years, attributed to Lyme disease, was reportedly gone.
She stopped taking morphine for five days and then began microdosing LSD every three days.
Three years later, she had completely quit morphine, with no withdrawal symptoms or relapse reported.
Researchers described it as an extraordinary case of non-fatal high-dose LSD ingestion with long-term pain relief.

Some landlords own dozens - or even hundreds - of properties, making huge profits while millions of young people can't afford to buy.
Should there be a legal cap on how many homes any one person can own?

DeSantis approved the Brightline extension from Orlando to Miami in 2019. It cost $5 billion, no taxpayer funding & was completed in 4 years. Every conservative is cool with. Cali has spent $16 billion of an estimated $135 bil in taxes, for 0 miles of rail. Spot the difference

@CosmicV Think past the tip of your fucking nose, retard. How long does it take for people to get here on those visas? How expensive is it? Now expand it to 5 million people per year. Still seem feasible to you?

I'm a centrist, so I don't know the answer to this. Do Democrats actually want "birthright citizenship" as the actual policy? Or do they simply oppose Trump acting like a dictator toward his racist goals?
English
@TraitorCrater The US already use professions in the immigration calculus and the constitution has absolutely allows it you slobbering simpleton.
English
@CosmicV @robertgraham 1. Other countries don't have millions of immigrants a year.
2. Other countries don't have the Constitution.
3. That's why you're an idiot.

@TraitorCrater @robertgraham And yet other countries do it, so that just makes you an idiot

@TraitorCrater @robertgraham Plenty of countries have profession requirements. Background check to reasonable extent.

@CosmicV @robertgraham How exactly do you plan on judging "net value" or their "allegiance?"
English
@robertgraham How about limiting it to immigrants that actually produce net value and doesn't have an allegiance to our enemies for a start?

I mean, I sorta prefer that policy, but only a little bit.
I'm not sure what principles people would have where they really wanted it a lot.

@robertgraham @AlpineCipher Let me guess, give them billions of dollars and they still refined nuclear material anyways?

Obama had a great plan to prevent that. Trump tore up that agreement.

Why doesn't Europe help their ally America in this war?
They are helping America -- just not helping Trump. They are on the side of the majority of citizens who oppose this offensive war.
If this war at Congressional approval and support for most Americans, we'd be having a different conversation.
Acyn@Acyn
CNN: We have new CNN polling showing how the country feels about this war. Just a third of Americans approve of how the president is handling his role of commander in chief, as well as the war. Two thirds disapprove of the decision to take military action in Iran, and strong opposition has grown 12 points since the start of the war. 63% of Americans say that they believe it's likely that the war will turn into a long term military conflict. Nearly 7 in 10 oppose sending U.S. Ground troops into Iran. 71% say they don't want congress to authorize $200 billion for further military action in Iran.
