That's not the point I was contesting. I agree with that. I just don't agree with minimizing what Biden has done and acting like he's just passively complicit in all this while making the point that Trump is terrible. They're both awful and Biden has done way worse than "nothing".
You can think that all you'd like but it's wrong. You're literally saying that because others have done a thing, someone else doing the thing is actually doing nothing. Literal nonsense. Trump is and will be worse, but it's absolute worse cope to simp for a president like Biden who actively contributed to what's happening there. It would make for a way more productive discussion if you and everyone else would concede that instead of doubling down on this imaginary idea that Biden did nothing.
McCarthyism never ended lol
Biden actively pushed for and got more weapons sent to Israel that enabled all this. If "just didn't do shit" is actually doing lots of shit that was bad, then sure he "just didn't do shit".
Here's the first thing I found when I went looking. https://www.shareable.net/driving-change-the-story-of-the-drivers-cooperative-colorado/
Do you have a source so I could read more about it?
What happened in 1984?
The social credit score stuff is basically a Western myth. There was some local level rumblings and plans, but most of it has been unpopular or axed. The only thing that exists at a national level for individuals is the equivalent of a credit score in the US and western countries. I believed this narrative at one point, but then I delved deeper. https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/11/22/1063605/china-announced-a-new-social-credit-law-what-does-it-mean/
I think you're assuming their intent is to make it sound expensive and that it's a right wing talking point, but they've already said in their comments that they agree with a publicly funded healthcare system and are actively for it. They've also said their reason for wanting to use another word besides "free" to describe it is to explicitly deflate the right wing talking point that it's being called "free" when it's really not. If you call it publicly funded or something else besides free that gets more at the essence of what the thing is, then the right wingers can't use the point that it "isn't free" against you and the public discourse around it will then have to shift.
