‘Fox & Friends’: Defeat of ‘Communist Japan’ Proves U.S. Is a Great Nation

Sure, but this particular so-called news source presented simple "facts" that actually could be shown to be false with a 30 second google search.

I found one exception when she touches upon more abstract notion of people loosing incentive and being stripted of opportunities under socialist government. I think thats perhaps worthy of some deeper analysis.

What opportunities are Danish people being stripped of? Dying of medical bankruptcy?

What opportunities are Danish people being stripped of? Dying of medical bankruptcy?

The opportunity to have the same prosperity level, while others around you have not

I think the medical part the Danes seem to have covered through heavy taxation. I am more concerned about some rampant bureaucracy encroaching on the creative side of life and free individual expression and such...

You know what encroaches on one's creativity and individual expression? Being sick and unable to get treatment. And dying. Definitely dying. Dead people have trouble being creative.

That's discriminatory against the Living Impaired!

Did your 30 sec google search revealed to you that Danish medics inspired by socialism have invented potion of immortality? Thats great.

"Medicine doesn't help people live longer" is a bold side of the argument to be on.

You didn't know? It's the sheer moral force of Capitalist Progress that keeps people living longer, not silly things like medicine.

No the dead are definitely the most discriminated. Its true they dont have to pay socialist taxes but pretty much everything else goes against them...

 

[Synobun]

Taxation being theft is a very tired idea, especially when uttered as a response to a state that takes care of its people.

"It really chaps my thighs when citizens don't needlessly die."

 

[Lexicus]

Well since we're badmouthing "socialist taxes" I really really hate paying "capitalist taxes" and "imperialist taxes" and "ethnic cleansing taxes" but here we are

It's not about whether or not you die, it's about the quality of life you have while you're still living. People with more leisure time and less external anxiety will produce better, more creative work. Time is finite, and I have more time and energy to devote to pondering the movement of the clouds when I don't instead have to devote that same time and energy towards worrying about where my next meal is coming from or whether I can afford to have that mole looked at.

This is of course leaving aside the bit where it is about whether or not you die, because while time is finite, the time you spend on Earth can be extended by, y'know, not dying. If I don't have to make a choice between getting that mole checked out and making this month's rent: I go to the doctor's, the doctor determines that the mole is a malignant tumor, I get it zapped off, and I have another 40 years to ponder the clouds. I don't go to the doctor (because mole is a tomorrow problem, not having a roof over my head is a today problem), that mole metastasizes and you'd better hope I have something revolutionary coming out in the next couple years, because after that I'm dead.

I dont disagree. I am still trying to explore the side when an out of control corrupted state bureaucracy is a destructive element in the life of an individual and ultimately of the society but the socialism worshiping pack on this forum seems to be against it.

What is your evidence that the Danish health system is "an out of control corrupted state bureaucracy?" Denmark ranks #2 in the world in the Corruption Perceptions Index, according to Transparency International.

Without concrete examples of where this exists, I can't take this as anything other than hilariously over-the-top fear-mongering.

And exactly what do any of us know about death? We can have opinions about it and what it may mean to be dead; few of the living can speak with any authority on death.

I saw a video by Chemtrails_Benghazi_88 on YouTube that was very insightful. Truth, unlike the MSM.

Could you forget for a moment about the medical/health infrastructure and its organisation and simply focus on the fact that socialism tends to create bureaucratic aparatus unduly interfering in the life of the individual and society?
