87. Burning It Down

I am not interested in burning anything down. I would love to see a peaceful solution to these problems. Part of the problem is we have an incoming Federal Administration that is fascistic. They are the ones threatening to burn everything down. I am proposing self defense as a last resort. Hopefully there will be peaceful political solutions to these conflicts and problems. I am skeptical though.

I am not interested in "conning" anyone. I am just speaking the truth as I know it. Your views may differ. People can read my posts and judge for themselves. I am not antifa but I am anti-fascist. They are not necessarily the same thing. I believe in a mixed economy with both a healthy private sector and a strong safety net and a good public sector. Most antifa are strictly anti-capitalist. I am not. I am against corporate corruption though, and there is a lot of it. Part of the solution is good government that checks corporate power. With this incoming administration, the corporate fat cats and billionaires are now explicitly running the show. So we are going to be at the mercy of these MAGA Fascists and the corrupt Corporatists for at least a while. I am proposing self defense and political resistance.

In regards to the original issue- Health Insurance should not be a private business. Health care is a right, not a privilege or a commodity to be used as a profit center. We need Medicare for All. Tens of thousands of people die every year explicitly because they have no health insurance. These are real human beings suffering and dying because our politicians oppose basic Health Care and propose profiteering off of people's suffering. These deaths are criminal. People die and their families suffer.

God knows how many die every year because their Private Health Insurance will not cover necessary and life saving treatments. The people who run these operations are white collar criminals. People are literally dying for lack of health care in this country. Why are these criminals allowed to get away with killing people? Because too many people in this country worship the dollar and do not care about their fellow human beings.

If there were a political solution like Medicare for All there would be less incentives for extremists like Mangione to take the matter in their own hands. White collar criminals are literally getting away with murder and profiting off of the killings. Why are they permitted to kill innocent people? What should be done about it?

As far as the Tiller case goes- I would appreciate it if you did not put words in my mouth. That is a Straw Man Argument, a basic failure of logic- misrepresent your opponent's position and then refute the misrepresentation.

Also, I voted for Kamala Harris. Who would you expect me to vote for? This site is strictly for Democrats, Liberals, and the people that support them. I consider myself a Progressive. I find your response to me to be rather disingenuous.
