  • I’ll give some examples of great implementations of socialism that drives welfare in today’s democracies, as I personally believe that socialism can’t exist without democracy, as it’s one of the core values of the concept, that’s it’s controlled by the people.

    One of socialisms ultimate goals are also equality, which my examples will show.

    • Free education
    • UBI if you get fired
    • UBI for old people
    • UBI for students
    • Free health care (duh)
    • Free dental (normally only till age of 18 today)
    • Basic insurance paid by the government

    These are just the big ones that really helps to make sure that very few people are actually poor and are getting desperate because of it.

    Also, it’s always important to say that socialism and capitalism are NOT mutually exclusive. It’s perfectly normal to have all these concepts from socialism in a capitalist country.

    I think we can agree that a country with 100% capitalism or socialism is not the best way to go.

    Even though this is a great idea, it’s also incredibly unreasonable.

    There will be people cheating the hell out of this, because let’s face it. What people need is not a free computer. They need food and money.

    What ever that is possible to scrape from these machines, the market will open for it today if you launch your computer tomorrow.

    It’s a nice thought, but it’s the wrong way going around this. If you really want to make a difference, you open up your business somewhere in an area you want to help and you create jobs.

    Stable income is a sure way road to decrease in crinimal activity and a more safe society. THEN you can consider providing free stuff, when there’s no reason to abuse it.

    Maybe I’m too pessimistic, and I’d love to be convinced otherwise.


  • Hamas, the government of Palestine, is the enemy.

    Yeah, if you side with the oppressor. You know that Israel starved Gaza for 3 weeks before Hamas even responded?

    They literally cut off food, clean water, medical supplies for 3 fucking weeks before the first attack. People’s family were dying in the hospitals completely unnecessarily.

    Ask yourself if you honestly think that anyone else would act differently. Do you honestly think that you would act different when you see your father/mother/brother/sister die because Israel blocked off all your help because of “politics”?

    That’s the story that doesn’t reach the US and many places in the western world. How it all began.

    And if you really want to know how Palestine has been fucked over, you’d have to go back to 1945. When you know the history, there’s no fucking way you would side with Israel.




  • This varries alot depending on where you live.

    Normally it’s like this.

    First it goes into the water, then it goes to the ground, which normally filters it very well. BUT if this is generally a polluted area, and also depending on the composition of the earth, it may not filter it at all. We assume that there’s some filtering though.

    Now it gets really country-dependent. Some countries filter the tap water very well, some adds chlorine to ‘cleanse’ it, and some may not do a very good job entirely.

    I’m no expert in which countries around the world do what, but it’s probably something you can look up for your area.

    Generally though, it’s worse for you to inhale (unless the water is just polluted in other ways)
