Let’s use healthcare as an example. Liberalism generally believe in the power of the markets so are quite happy to privatise healthcare.

It’s pretty obvious to anyone paying attention that a healthcare system that requires private individuals to pay for coverage will result in the poorest and most unfortunate having no coverage.

The very idea of privatised healthcare being acceptable on any level is antithetical to leftist beliefs but compatible with liberal ideology, hence it is right wing.

Agnostic atheist.

The amount of times I have talked with vegans who own and advocate for pet ownership…

I think the number is a lot higher and the barrier of trust a lot lower than people think.

If you come across a vehicle accident and you are able to help someone generally people don’t even think and just take action to save another persons life.

In reactionary scenarios where direct intervention saves someone’s life, people help a lot more than you’d think.

As a species we generally have a bypass in our brains that makes us want to help others in desperate need.

A dot point list would have made this more readable. Just saying.

Well done to you for recognising you need to hand it over before death gripping the communities into obscurity.

Nothing backs US currency?
