Please give me an example where capitalism made the quality drop and government made the quality increase.


Also, please give examples of capitalist utopia that are shit holes?


Privately run nursing homes with no real oversight. Addiction facilities that entrap patients into spirals in order to milk their insurance money.

The opioid epidemic. Over prescribing. The spiralling costs of personal health care.
Anti transparency pill pricing.

Any service that is of a human focus. Like rehab, is better run by government or you get predatory practices. It's the nature of capitalism.

There is no such thing as a capitalist utopia. But you could compare some inner city projects housing slum lord flat to a prison in the nordic countries. Prison is nicer.

For profit prison systems create myriad problems not just within themselves but society at large

You don't grade a country on the amenities you get as some big baller millionaire. Quality of life for the supremely rich is high in any country regardless.

However for the working class and poor people? Totally different situation.

With health care quality there are studies out there that demonstrate higher standard of recovery under national system. This shit is known.

Not to mention the myriad problems a capitalist base health care system creates. Did you learn nothing from breaking bad?

Who wants to go bankrupt because they need an operation? Or even worse reduced doctors visits due to expense makes health problems even more costly!

And this total bullshit republican talking points on health care. "We want to make sure people have options with their health care!"

What is that bullshit? Options for health care? If your sick the option is pretty singular, you want to get the most effective treatment possible.

Not the healing power of fucking crystals.

No what they mean by options is the option for insurance companies to cunt people out of treatment because they can't personally afford it.

I don't think Trump would like Centrist/Libertarians like me. 😂

Just because I'm not willing to call him Orange Nazi Russian™, doesn't mean I don't heavily oppose him for sucking up tax dollars and using it for his own personal gain.

He would probably find more comfort with Hillary than me. 😂

Holy shit.

You seriously are physically incapable of replying to my post.

This is so embarrassing. You made a claim and refuse to back it up.

No one should even reply to this asshole again until he stops ignoring people who called him out. What a child.

He's been doing this a lot. Sticks his head out and barks a lot, but under any criticism he doesn't have an answer for he just disappears.

There's a reason he likes the board so much more now; he's pretty notorious for coming into threads and acting like an expert on topics he's fucking clueless about and getting taken out back and metaphorically shot with evidence, logic and experience like a sick fucking dog then crawling away to nurse his persecution complex only to come back and get skullfucked again.

You'll find that's true for a lot of recognizable names.

I'm not sure you understand the fundamental baseline of what you need to know in order to successfully argue your position. Why are you asking for an example that is so obviously and readily provided? From gasoline sold at the pump to licensed dentistry, there's a thousand or more examples of regulation mandating quality. The argument is about whether that outcome is worth the restriction on your rights, i.e. the government telling you that you aren't allowed to set up shop as a dentist without education and licensing. If you invite the person you're arguing with to pick the examples you will always lose.

Also, please give examples of capitalist utopia that are shit holes?

In that same vein, never ask for an example of a utopia. It's a hypothetical construct and thus without example by definition. The person you're talking to is probably using it wrong, but you're just making matters worse here.

Have you been to cuba?

I have not. Having said that, what I mentioned I learned from friends that are Cuban. Not just ones living in the US but also in Mexico. They love their country and their people and they visit often. But there is a very good reason they don’t live there. This also isn’t coming from one person - multiple people, that don’t even know each other, have said the same thing.

To be honest, capitalism is constant ice cream for those living in a communist country. It feels good, it empowers, it opens your eyes to the realms of flavour (in this case opportunity).
However, those that live in the squaler of capitalism dream of a form of communism, but they wont say it out loud because the west has spent decades drilling the knowledge commie=bad. Because they want to know they are worth something, they are valued, that they are equal in terms of humanity.

Capitalism has spent a lot of time and money drilling into our heads the ideas and merits of wealth and hard work. That if you work hard enough all your dreams will come true. The more money you have, the more important you are, the better you are, the most valued you are.

It by itself is why there wont be real equality in the world. It is built to exploit less fortunate people forever. So those less fortunate just want to feel worth something to match up to societies standards. To feel validated and contribute to society. Except they dont contribute to society, they contribute to the individual who is above them and makes money off of your hard work.

So i'm going to argue your friends are just eating the ice cream right now. Eventually they'll get sick of it and want something else but thats all capitalism serves. Then they will realise they got many different meals before albeit bad tasting and bland meals, just not enough to give them a full belly.
 
Are you kidding? He only condemned David Duke after pressure. And he only condemned Nazis after saying the issue was on "both sides." You know that's bullshit.

But, no, it's not up for debate. Trump being racist is an unarguable fact. Here's a great example:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...mp/trump-tweet-blacks-white-homicide-victims/

He specifically tweeted out COMPLETELY FAKE crime stats that were literally designed to make white people think black people were murderous animals who targeted white people.

And just in case his scared white followers didn't understand what he was trying to get at, the image included a scary black man holding a gun sideways.

F-Vvag7xPOFj81AxWrRYIcgWkxfI-XcskVw50Dw5lXTAYv8B5Agb3K1qcUbEFFIAsmss2-GyZCorvd0rguxRcKRLHisVxz5ISq6ZqWIBmanhvr_MW8aFzf18GKfH19h0adcE8Pvc


Another poster has already pointed out you're wrong about the wall and the travel ban. But you don't even need that. All you need is what I just replied to you with because it is factually racist.

If you can look at that image and tell me that Trump isn't a racist, you're a god damn liar.

I mean, the real statistics are just as bad...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States#Homicide

Homicide[edit]
According to the US Department of Justice, African Americans accounted for 52.5% of all homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and "Other" 2.2%. The offending rate for African Americans was almost 8 times higher than whites, and the victim rate 6 times higher. Most homicides were intraracial, with 84% of white victims killed by whites, and 93% of African Americans victims were killed by African Americans.[43][44][45]

In 2013, number and percentage of murder arrests by race were:

Black or African Americans 4,379 = 52.2%
White Americans (including Hispanic Americans) 3,799 = 45.3%
American Indians or Alaska Natives 98 = 1.06%
Asian Americans 101 = 1.2%[46][47]
Inversely, the percentage of individuals in each racial demographic arrested for murder in 2013 was:

0.01% of Black or African American population (4,379/38,929,319)
0.0017% of White American and Hispanic American population (3,799/223,553,265)
0.0033% of American Indian or Alaska Native population (98/2,932,248)
0.0007% of Asian American population (101/14,674,252)
0.001% of Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander population (6/540,013).[46][48]

Provably wrong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoXThCb8EZA

The only factual thing is that democrats before trump decided to run never called him a racist or hitler and actually showed him multiple times with blacks that work together with him. After he started running he suddenly became "hitler" (like every republican running, dems smear machine is real lol) and "kkk" and "antisemite"( while half his families is jewish and he is more pro israele than obama)

Ever thought about that, maybe just MAYBE the Media isnt entirely honest 100% of the time when dealing with trump?

I like to remind people when trump claimed obama surveillance the trump campaign the entire msm, reddit and neogaf laughed at him.. half a year later it was proven and suddenly no one was even willing to talk about this anymore least of all the msm, reddit and neogaf. No apology no nothing btw.
This also shows something that many sjw former gaffers have actively been ignoring, your own bias.

Yes swallow some more, its not like the media that lied about it got exposed hard and then dropped the entire subject hard nope not at all! Swallow harder. Absolutely pathetic.

I also noticed that you never had anything to say about democrats routinely insulting republican front runners as nazi which makes the nazi claim null and void.

Meaning you have been picking and choosing from the beginning,when confronted with this blatant bias it gets ignored by the likes of you but when the discussion is over, the lies gets spread again as if it is fact until it gets called out again.. then its again condescension in hopes they give up, if not its ignoring again.
Its not even subtle.

My guess is you only pick based on which claim you think you can reasonably sell again.. the ones that are easily proven a lie like the "never disavow crap" you dont touch. But every other subject surely is true! You are being fooled and its sad.

Trump lied. Fact, and an investigation was done finding no evidence. Also, stop believing in monolithic theory and cultural and behavioral factors. Conflict theory, look it up.

Rocket Number, look at the white vs white numbers

then look at the source you just posted from
https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf

then think about why that image is controversial, I won't give it away

84% of white victims were killed by whites
93% of black victims were killed by blacks

Which is almost identical however black offenders where 7 times as high as white people. Also most drug offending cases were done by black people while sex related homocides where mostly done by white people. Hispanic people where other like in the study you gave was mentioned.

Yes, and Trump's fake numbers said that blacks mostly killed whites.

Are you guys purposefully being daft and pretending you don't understand the point of Trump's image?
 
Are you serious?

Did you not even read the link I gave you? Hell, did you not actually look at the image?

How are you not seeing the issue here?

Yes...?

It's obvious to me as a non American there is problem with a minority being so statistically over represented in crime...I mean look at Asians they are minuscule.

There is clearly a problem

Why would I care about Trump? The problem is the Black on black crime rate which is heavily based on class and poverty status. These are the points we need to tackle to solve this.

The problem I have with all these is that people very often argue how white cops kill so many black people while totally ignoring the biggest problem. Poverty and Ghettos.
 
The problem is the justice department has targeted black Americans since forever

And yeah, the real states showing whites mostly kill whites are not “just as bad” as the fake stats claiming black people mostly kill whites

Someone said he wasn't racist. I linked to something that proved, factually, that he is.

Pay attention to the conversation before jumping in.

Yeah, if only the there was no such thing as poverty, then Philando Castile wouldn't have been murdered in his car for no reason.

1. This does not show that he is racist but rather stupid. I would always compare him with a little child. People even tried to argue he is a NAzi which makes no fucking snse since so many of his family members are jews to begin with. He is as stupid as every modern Extremist feminist character on social media only with the difference that he gets feed from the other side.

2. These are exceptions its not the majority but rather pushed like an everyday occurrence to A stigmatize the police, B push an Agenda driven ideology and C. Making black people afraid of cops.

Media and social Media is a dong a great job of fear mongering. Yes these are crimes and yes these should be tracked and resolved but making this like these special cases are the norm is not helping anyone at all.

Question is does he even know that they are nazis? Are they real nazis or what people these days define as Nazi? He tweets a ton of shit thats why I said he is dumb. He is not fact checking nor thinking about it at all. As I said before him being stupid does not make him a nazi.

I as a German and who has lost my Grandfather in an concentration camp have a really difficult time to shout Nazi every time someone does something stupid. I think this word or definition loses so much weight and meaning when you trow accusations around like its free candy,

Any more excuses?

You have a lot to learn about Donald Trump. You know what's amazing, is how much information there is, how many interviews, books, tabloids, documentaries, articles, etc. that span decades, yet there are people interested in him and in politics who can with a straight face try to claim Trump isn't a racist.

He's literally been all over all media for decades (he would feed tabloids 'stories' about himself constantly to stay in the news, sometimes pretending to be someone else 'leaking' the story), starting with his first step on the rise to national stardom- in a federal case as a defendant for discrimination against black people.

Why excuses? Again I think he is dump nor does he checks the past history of accounts tweets before he retweets something. He sees something he agrees on and klicks the button. Seriously Do you check the past history before retweeting something? As for the White genocide name. I do think its stupid but without his/her past history I would not consider this Nazi. Besides the last thing I have seen last weekend are verified twitter accounts wanting to murder all white male people. Twitter is a cancer for your society to be honest because it awakens the most stupid in people.

Real quotes please: Again sTupid and believing in stupid laws, solutions does not make him racist. IF these new laws or things he wants do discriminate in the long run or behind the curtains etc it does not make him a nazi but stupid. I believe he never said anything like I want to discriminate black people" Or I want to kill them. Or I think white people are superior. He believes in America and he calls everyone American who has come here on a legal way. Its more nationalistic than racist in my opinion.

Of course they ignore the housing discrimination which apparently doesn’t matter cause he has photos shaking hands with famous black people!

I mean, this 70 year old man claimed to never heard of David Duke and said he needed more information on the KKK before he could denounce their endorsement. You’d think say the KKK are bad would be a slam dunk yo prove “I’m not racist” but Trump couldn’t even do that

We’re long past acting oblivious to the fact that the current us president is a blatant white supremacist. It’s been clear for a long time

I don’t know why you’re invested in making excuses for Trump courting white supremacy. When running for president, no one but Trump shared blatant propaganda from obviously unsavory accounts.

Yeah white genocide is a fear mongering tactic of white supremacy. No one shared propaganda from an account like that by mistake multiple times. Don’t be obtuse, Trump doesn’t have to say outright “I hate this group” for him to effectively and purposely make life worse for those groups

That was 16 years before this interview. So either he has changed or B he has forgotten this name. Does someone who is not much interested in this kind of stuff know this name in America? I am German and I never heard of this name.

What I need are personal contacts with openly nazis who are well known besides Twitter and tumblr. For example Someone like Milo do not know many people outside of this circle. Spencer only become more famous after people attacking him

For me its always innocent until proven guilty and this kind of evidence would never hold on a court.

So is the term rape culture done by modern feminism. Making every white male a predator making women afraid of man who even walk on the same street as they are. . Fear mongering in the US is pretty "rad" these days. It is the best way to get people on their side who do not ask questions but agree with everything which fits their view.

And I am not defending Trump. I do not not care about Trump. Call him stupid, bigot, asshole I would not care. I am defending the Nazi definition because for me its a very heavy definition I would never use very loosely

It’s not used loosely, Trump has repeatedly shared and shown gratitude to multiple neo nazi accounts. Multiple times. I understand moderation is more lax now but downplaying this obvious thing for whatever reason isn’t a good idea
