  • I think the whole left vs right thing is stupid.
    Individual views are much more complex than a single left/right axis, so you’re always going to find people on both sides who have views that differ greatly from the major political party on their ‘side’.

    A ‘progressive’ right winger would care more about preventing the government from deciding what you’re allowed to do, rather than explicitly protecting minorities.
    So while they wouldn’t push laws that require businesses to serve everybody indiscriminately, they also wouldn’t push laws that explicitly ban things like gender therapy.

    Obviously the majority of right wingers in america aren’t progressive though.


  • Holy shit, insulin is ~$98 on average over there!?
    That is literally the most expensive place to buy insulin on this planet.
    Most countries have insulin available for ~1/5th that price or less, with many selling it for less than 1/10th of the US price.

    I knew it was bad over there but that’s fucking atrocious.
    At least you’re more free over there than anywhere else though, right?
    Right?
