WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.mlto Late Stage Capitalism@lemmygrad.ml•China’s new cancer drug is approved in the US but will cost 30 times more: US$280 in China, US$8,892 in the USEnglish0·2 years agoI’m on a drug that costs even more than that. The whole process is bizarre, and appears to be scams all the way down.
What happens for me is that my insurance covers a big chunk of it, which still leaves me with a bill for thousands of dollars. But the drug manufacturer provides me with a card that covers that amount. So the whole thing costs me $5 out of pocket.
The aim seems to be inflating the drug prices to an insane degree to extract more money from the insurance companies. Who then fleece my employer for more money. Who then pay me less, as the insurance is such a huge benefit. And I can’t afford to lose that insurance, so they have a captive employee. And I’m supposed to marvel at all the money I saved.
WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.mlto Communism@lemmygrad.ml•Advertisements are just capitalist propaganda12·2 years agoWestern media in general are just 5 capitalists in a trenchcoat (Disney bought Fox).
Of course not. When the US does it, it’s just how the world works. When anyone else does it, it’s evil authoritarianism.
There was a dipshit in here the other day who said “free Tibet” and “return Hong Kong” in a completely unrelated post.
I told him he should free Hawaii and return whatever land he lived on. He said that it was conquered fair and square.
There’s just absolutely no self reflection in these people. I think it’s fear. Fear that someday, someone is going to do to them what they did to us. But simultaneously unable to deal with the truth.
He’s the world’s greatest engineer, don’t you know?
WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.mlto Communism@lemmygrad.ml•"Documents can wait, hunger cannot." - Joseph V. Stalin1·2 years agoMy very first real post here was this. I made the argument that even if all the insane crap that Stalin is accused of doing were true, it pales in comparison to what the US actually did. Why is it okay to ignore all that murder and villainy, and instead focus on Stalin, who was actually trying to make things better for the working people, instead of enriching the rich?

Lib: Why are you supporting this asshole?
WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.mlto Memes@lemmygrad.ml•Lemmy libs are now posting kyivpost as if it's an actual news source. These are the same people who screech about Russian propaganda when they see articles from places like NYT and WSJ.1·2 years agoIt’s never about the source. It’s about the content.
WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•How native Hawaiians feel about the occupation regime1·2 years agoI already blocked him. I’m native and I’m somewhat used to hearing this nonsense. But it still doesn’t do good things for me, and he has nothing useful to say anyway. It’s all debate perversion with a hard on for colonialism. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see that it’s just a lame attempt to justify the subjugation of Hawaii.
WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•How native Hawaiians feel about the occupation regime1·2 years agoI confused you with the other fascist above, whose post I was replying to.
Hawaii was annexed in 1898. So, why dredge up anger at the conquest over 100 years later?
You’re just here sealioning on an attempt to justify ethnic cleansing. The Holocaust comparison is NOT a false equivalence by the way. Hitler was inspired by the US.
WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•How native Hawaiians feel about the occupation regime1·2 years agoBecause you are saying it was 100 years ago, so your crimes no longer matter. The holocaust is coming up on 100 years ago now as well. I’m guessing that all the peoples murdered by the Nazis should just get over it and start loving the fascists now as well?
As for your garbage referendum, see my reply to your other post with this garbage.
WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•How native Hawaiians feel about the occupation regime1·2 years agoI think it’s more than a little dishonest to say that the native Hawaiians voted for this. At the time of this referendum, they composed about 15% of the population and their culture and identity had been suppressed for generations.
The US government even admitted in 1993 that the native people never agreed to this.
WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•How native Hawaiians feel about the occupation regime41·2 years agoWhen did they vote to join? They fought pretty hard to keep their rightfully elected government.
WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•How native Hawaiians feel about the occupation regime52·2 years agoFirst of all, that’s not at all a reasonable reply to my comment. Second, how the hell do you have the gall to openly post this fascist garbage for all the world to see?
WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•How native Hawaiians feel about the occupation regime41·2 years agoThey did before they were conquered. Why is that so hard to imagine now?
I made it less than a minute in. How on earth do people buy into this shit?
WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•China courts Germany's far-right populist AfD384·2 years agoNow you have some idea of how we feel on Reddit. The difference here is that karma doesn’t matter. And hexbearers can’t even downvote your comments anyway. You’re just complaining that you have to listen to another point of view.
Belarus gave Poland advance notice, stating that EW activity caused several drones to become uncontrolled. It’s just more NATO war mongering.
