  • Not when we get fucked for Healthcare we don’t.

    I paid more in the US every 2 weeks for insurance and still had to pay higher prices at the doctor than I pay now for the entire month in Germany.

    On paper the salary looks good. Then the hidden costs start

    And that depends on your industry. Our upper and middle working class makes more, but the lower working class makes significantly less. Absolutely abysmal minimum wage

    The average American commutes 2× the distance than the average UK citizen. Plus there’s rarely a public transit option. So for many this is a doubling of an expense that cannot be avoided.

    Personally I don’t see the point in arguing over who has the higher price when we could just be mad that one man caused a global crisis

    You misread. You already provided the supporting evidence for my point. You proved how things became worse under Trump which is the point I was making. Doctors have only been doing that since Trump cut off oil and gas to the country.

    I was thanking you for providing the supporting evidence, albeit a bit confused since you stated it as a disagreement.

    You told me you were tired and didn’t want to continue this on another comment. Which is why I left you be.

    Okay sure I’ll bite, I don’t play teams. I pick what causes the least harm on election day and advocate for more. No current candidate will give me the world I want and I dislike them all.

    Now that’s cleared up do you have anything of substance to add or would you like to say good evening for real this time?

    tell them their calls for self-determination are too radical

    Not once did I say this. They deserve more. I support all action peaceful to violent to further their rights. Burn the system

    It’s so exhausting how you seem to think voting so things don’t get worse and advocating for more is impossible. All this mindset does is make things worse for the oppressed. Yet you ignore the clear evidence

    Why don’t you listen? Major tribal voices supported Harris because they knew Trump would take back the increased sovereignty they had gained.

    Now they have less self-determination because he won, and he’s trying constantly to erode more tribal rights.

    It was not perfect under Biden, far from it. It would not have been perfect under Harris. It was ultimately worse under Trump, and the tribes knew this would be the case. You decided they should suffer for your political rhetoric. It’s not about what they wanted it’s about what you wanted. You thought you knew better than them. It’s just the colonizer mindset

    You assume I’m talking about people when I say shiny tokens because I guess you do think of them as tokens

    And you told me to read more? Re-read my statements. I was clearly pointing out how you call tribal goals “shiny tokens”. Which very clearly implies that you believe the goals of these tribal governments are trivial and that they don’t know better. You are using a colonizer mindset to trivialize the goals of Native peoples because you think you know what’s best for them. It’s disgusting

    You were just speaking for the whole yourself calling well established tribal goals mere “shiny tokens”. Which is incredibly disrespectful and infatalizing. Like I said colonizer behavior.

    I think we can both agree there’s plenty of change that needs to happen, but I’ll never understand the desire you have to worsen the conditions of the oppressed to serve your rhetoric

    Why do you keep calling protecting sacred tribal sites and tribal land a token gestures? Now many are open for oil exploitation with little Native input.

    It may be a “token gesture” to you, but it mattered to the groups you pretend to care for
