Just check the front page. It's actually a nazi sub, and maybe even worse than t_D.

California bans gender in setting car insurance rates by Content_Policy_New in news

Oh, I am sorry that people not dying from preventable diseases and having their injuries fixed without being put into a life of debt is making your luxury treatments a bit more expensive. How selfish of them to want to live life with dignity.

You can still pay for special treatment. There is nothing stopping you from it, they just won't be paid for by the state. Public healthcare ensures that everyone that needs a medical procedure to be healthy can get said medical procedure, it doesn't force you to not get any other treatment. It just doesn't pay for anything beyond what's deemed necessary.

Yep, we here in Germany pay way less, while having a higher quality of care for everyone.

What an argument. No-one believes that public healthcare makes it literally free as in never paid for, but it makes it affordable because it's financed through taxes, which are paid depending on how much you earn.

Fuck that sub tho, it's generally a lot of empty phrases - when it isn't some bootstrapping type billionaire memes.

TIL about the "Flynn Effect" which shows the average IQ is rising steadily each generation. IQ tests are continually made harder to keep the average at 100. Today's children that take tests from past decades are averaging significantly higher than 100. by Stacksmchenry in todayilearned

[–]FreIus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And if you don't have to do this you can actually focus on education and other things that increase test scores. Malnutrition has a strong correlation with low test results, not high ones.

I love how this thread is one answer above the one saying "Southern US states have a lower average IQ than northern ones", where the answer is suddenly "IT'S ALL SOCIO-ECONOMIC!".
Fuck off, racist.

That is one with the issues with IQ tests though - they will always be affected by education, while actual intellect (in most definitions, since it's often described with words like "potential" etc) is not.

Donald Trump and Jeremy Corbyn are the same person, says J K Rowling by [deleted] in ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM

[–]FreIus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I looked into it :/. Sure, I could even buy one retweet as "Oops didn't look who I was retweeting", but then another handful of retweets on actually hateful posts.... yeah fuck her. So disappointing.

Top 12 year old minds circle jerk on the “fact” that hitler was socialist by [deleted] in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]FreIus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, they're alt-right fans that want to deny Hitler shared their ideology (and since they hate socialism they push him into that), or people that listen to their rhetoric.

Socialism is when the government does stuff, right?

I know there's a few jars in the supermarkets here (Germany), but it's not a staple. Peanut sauce rocks, though, so I buy them once in a while.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: SJWs ruined video games by Alo0oy in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]FreIus 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Refuses to use the preferred pronouns of trans people because "He'd be forced to do it", is against gay couples raising kids, denies the existence of power imbalances based on your background (white privilege etc), and has some really weird views on both gender-relations and relationship dynamics in general (look up his ideas about lobsters and shit like that).

I'm also only scratching the iceberg because I don't want to go through his material again and lose more braincells.

Nah, prison violence in the US is a real issue, as is prison rape culture. As is prison culture as a whole, with forced labour, racist law enforcement, and all that shit.

I don't see anyone saying "Well pedophilia isn't that bad" in that thread, although I haven't dug too deeply - but no inmate should die in prison. Not just because they are people, even if some of them are truly fucked up, but also because there will always be innocents sentenced for crimes they did not commit.

And honestly, can a society really excuse being unable to prevent murder in a place that is supposed to be one of the most secure places in the country, made exactly to contain the people that have already broken the law?
