Everything you tell a doctor is public record to be used against you. I don’t want this to sound like I am anti medicine or don’t think people should be able to receive treatment, this is just a fact of life if you live in an authoritarian society like the USA. All the stuff about doctor patient confidentiality is total bullshit and they have a legal requirement to report you in many cases which can be expanded at any time. I’d never tell a doctor I used drugs, I smoked, I had any unhealthy habits, or had any sort of forbidden thoughts. Treat doctors like cops and only tell them what you’d be comfortable with the police knowing. You have a right (for now) to remain silent.

Persian is my mother tongue but the most disappointing day in my life is when I realized I dreamed in English because it has been my primary language most of my life. I honestly don’t even know if I can set lemmy to Persian, I’ve never checked.

edit: well, how about that you can.

My dad watched his brother drown when he was a kid and was unable to save him Ray Charles style and made sure he taught me to swim before dipping out

There are no leftists in America because of the Nazi consolidation of power in the red scare and this is what you get.

In your country your political parties operate as one and the politics are managed by the oligarchy. Everything is occurring exactly as your business dictatorship wants.

You know what country had universal free health care in the 70s and 80s, a medical city of multiple teaching hospitals which lead it to become the hub of medicine for the entire region and produced globally respected doctors?

Iraq

And now the people who destroyed that had their medical pittance cut. Nice.

It is happening the libby.worlders are all talking about how nuclear weapons created “the longest peace the world has ever known” already. Which I guess when you’re a white supremacist and Europe is the whole world maybe that makes sense.

I know its supposedly a reference to a meme but I can’t get over the fact the Doge was the oligarchical leader of Venice.

Wow, a lot of words to say nothing. You don’t have to do anything meaningless, it is by definition meaningless.

This is false, multiple presidents won more than 51% of the vote and lost. Your elections are decided by election riggers during redistricting. It is called gerrymandering. You live in a corrupt society that uses voting and a circus every few years to mollify you. Even if Kamala won, which was basically impossible based on how the districts were drawn, you’d still live in a capitalist dictatorship that would be every bit as bad as it is now. You would still be causing wars around the world, you would still have homeless people everywhere, and most people would still be living pay check to paycheck while she did absolutely nothing. Kamala Harris is a manager of capitalism, not leader in any sense. You have absolutely no vote or say in the people who run your country, the board members of Goldman Sachs, Chase, Citigroup, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and the rest.

Both voting and not voting have the same effect. Nothing. It is not a democracy and pretending you are in one does fuck all.

Right, I said you are free to do any meaningless gestures you want

You are free to participate in any kind of meaningless gestures and genuflection to make yourself feel better, but the US is a controlled authoritarian oligarchy with democratic window dressing and not a democracy in any meaningful way.

Yeah, there is a reason my instance doesn’t have downvotes or federates with the lemmy.world idiots

Loser confirmed

I don’t need to focus on anything, everyone else in the world knows your elections are rigged except you, the dumbest and most gullible people on earth.

Americans are the most gullible idiots in the world.

Your elections are based on redistricting. They do conspire to draw them to win, it is called gerrymandering. Because the system doesn’t work and is designed to maintain an oligarchy they don’t need to fix the entire thing across the entire country, they need to redraw the districts so they only need to fix a handful, and they do. They do not let the worlds largest nuclear armed oligarchy bend to the will on the dumbest people on earth.

Also they don’t need to fix every election, they need to fix a certain % of them over the course of years to push an agenda across they’ve been working on for a long time. You are literally falling victim to the business plot now. While you write paragraphs talking about Occlam’s razor you literally just need to look out of your window to see the results.

🙄

Tell me you’re white without telling me you’re white

They are imperial murderers and managers of corporate oligarchy. The solidarity we form is against them. They are not left-wing at all, they are hard right wing reactionaries in a nation where the overton window has been shifted and the population is so brainwashed that they can even entertain that they are left-wing. They are barely left of most right wing politicians in the world. As a prosecutor, Kamala Harris has condemned thousands of innocent people to hard labor in slave camps and is an agent of the carceral state. Anyone in the US government is the enemy of free people in the US and around the world.

Your last phrase uses the words of the people on the left not the right, but clearly you don’t understand the problem. You are just an apologist for genocide, slavery and empire.

You are not understanding what I am saying. You do not live in a democracy. Harris had no chance of winning because your elections are fake. That is what I mean by results are predetermined, just like Wrestlemania. The US oligarchs fixed the elections during redistricting years before the election took place. During the ridiculous run up to the event nothing you did mattered. You live in a authoritarian oligarchy.
