We don’t have “one” health insurance, we have like 90 of them.

While a few of them are the same with the same administration, it’s still like 50 individual ones. A few of those are also “special” and only accept certain people. But each has their own administration, “CEO” of sorts and people that have to be paid.

The german healthcare system is mismanaged beyond belief and complete and utter dogshit. Don’t get me wrong, still better than the american system, but considering I’m paying 421,76€ a month in health insurance (and my employer pays the same amount aswell), I should be able to expect a certain level of service, but most of the money is lost in these administrations as it seems.

Many stuff isn’t paid for either. Early checkups, for example, aren’t covered. My girlfriend had to have her blood levels checked and it wasn’t covered by the insurance which cost her like 500€.

It’s just a fucking disgrace how bad the healthcare system in this country is.

And a system of private health insurance provision also has higher administrative costs than a single-payer system, in which the government is the sole insurer.

Clearly havent seen the german system

Thats weird to hear when there was a pro-palestine demonstration 10 min away from here lmao

Judging the entire police force of a country by a case from 2005 is kinda insane ngl. I’m not saying every police member is an angel, but the overwhelming majority of german police is completely normal and trustworthy.

systematic violence against pro-Palestinian protestors

Bullshit. There is no such thing. You know what there is tho? A fuckton of anti semitic people that tend to get violent at demonstrations.

No, but I generally don’t read stuff that is funded and backed by antisemitic organisations.

I didn’t read the article, but aljazeera is a fake news factory and on the same level as RT in terms of believability so I won’t even bother reading it.

Yes really, and if you think don’t think so, you’ve never been to one of these countries

Nah that’s one of the chill ones.

If you remove the tankie instances, blahaj.zone is probably the most toxic one.

Lemmy in a nutshell. Certain instances a lot more than others tho.

Nah. Police in Germany and all neighboring countries is completely different.

Seeing the kind of tyrannical laws that were enacted in that country in the last couple of years, I’m very much in agreement.

Musk can still go piss off.

Dunno. Unless they just output feeds in chronological order and maybe add some filter which I have explicitly defined myself, I’m not trusting any algorithms.

Brother thisi is going faster off the rails than I could’ve ever imagined lmao.

Lemmy is an echo chamber you make yourself tho. There are no algorithms that push certain content to you. Obviously, if you only lurk on shit like hexbear, my condolences, but I don’t feel like Lemmy is an echo chamber, at least much less than reddit was.

So they just want to legalize what they’ve been doing all the time anyways?

Leaving NATO requires a 2/3th majority in the american congress, which the republicans didn’t quite have. However, trump can obviously keep back troops, gear and money. But he can’t just leave like the Paris climate deal thingy.

This here. It’s not a trump issue, it’s an issue of not being able to defend your own country. Every country must be able to properly fend for itself and most European countries are not. The entire British army has less long distance missiles than a single american submarine. Germany only has enough ammunition for a single day of combat.

It’s just pathetic. We tried to safe money for decades and now it just backfires immensely.

Every country should have a good defense. But I remember very well how I was flamed for saying we should invest way more into military. “No no no, you have no clue, you’re stupid, the world is way too connected, conventional wars don’t work anymore etc.”

Well. How the turntables.

Hama’s fighting for democracy, ye.Just as the Taliban I guess. Iran also wants to support the Hamas in establishing democracy because Iran has a flourishing democracy and they want to spread it further. That’s also why Russia and by extent north korea support the Iran and the “democracy coalition” of palestine, those are also big fans of democracies.

With all due respect, but if you want to believe the Hamas and other terrorist groups want to fight for “freedom” instead of eradicating the entire Jewish population, discussions with you on this topic are fruitless.

The collapse didn’t. But the goal or “Mission” of the Hamas is to eradicate all jews.

So yes, Israel falling would result in the eradication of a vast majority of the Jewish people.
