I would like to see her expound on this, but it sounds as she is talking about basic core things as you noted.
i.e. school. A kid that is developmentally challenged should get more resources so that they can graduate. I think that's how it works in my state at least.
I know that’s what she means. Trust Republicans to knowingly misrepresent it. It’s simply giving kids a somewhat equal start in life to minimize disparity later in life just because some kids happen to be lucky based on the zip code they are born into due to no doing of theirs. We know that truly it can never be equal. We’re not delusional.

But We watch these poorer kids talents die and light go out of their eyes. While legacy kids with zero talent and even less intelligence get to have life handed to them from the beginning. Railroaded into success with no effort on their part. Talk about personal responsibility.

I don’t even care to listen to dissent on this topic because I know they don’t mean well. Throwing communism around because that’s what they’ve been told.

Trying to debate you would mean that I’m validating you in saying this is true and you believe in personal responsibility and I don’t. Which is simply not true.

I and most democrats I know hold amazing jobs and pay our fair share into the society. If anything, red leaning republican states are the heaviest dependents on social welfare. It’s a fact. But you don’t care for that truth. None of you care for the truth as we’ve all come to realize.

But All we ask is that our tax dollars don’t go to give billionaires handouts just because they have the politicians in their pockets. Or to pad the pockets of war contractors who go around the world sowing discord so that they can profit from weapon sales.

We want our money to go towards funding education and meals for children, healthcare for everyone, real maternity benefits to encourage young people to have children like you guys so badly claim you want them to, improve disability benefits for disabled people, better wages to meet inflation and/or price regulation for these greedy corporations. You guys brown nose greedy thieves and tell yourselves you’re promoting personal responsibility. If you really care for personal responsibility you wouldn’t support oligarchs who are often given insane financial bailouts when they flop due to greed as they often do. What an irony.

You make up a truncated position and try to fit who you think is your opponent into the opposite box. Since I do not fit into the box you created and don’t stand for any of the things you’re claiming, it’s pointless trying to debate you. Because when you get cornered, you’ll make up another lie and try to start arguing on that. It gets exhausting.

You’re not a unique republican. I’ve been there and done that. It’s a waste of energy because a lot of you don’t live in the real world of facts.

And I’ve said enough!

You are free to run away when you are unable to defend your position. America is a prosperous nation and the desired destination of billions because everyone can become anything they want if they work hard and put what it takes not someone in govt striving to have equality in outcomes

My favourite party is one that promotes personal responsibility, you kill what you eat, you cater to the children you bring to the world, you plan for your old age when you are working. You dont give birth because you want the society to raise them for you. You work hard to get what you want out of life. Not blaming and pointing fingers at someone holding anyone down

Its personal responsibility

I’m not going to argue with you on a scenario that you made up. Pls give it a rest. I’ve learned not to allow conservatives gaslight and manipulate me into ring-around-the-rosy conversations that stem only from their interpretation of what they want to believe

Meanwhile you said in your earlier post that except if one is underage, old or disabled, they should be able to fend for themselves which I can state we all agree on.

Your favorite political party calls anything that caters to feeding children, taking care of the old and disabled as woke socialist communist idea.

We have no middle ground to discuss anything
raumdeuter:
You don't need to be a billionaire to know that legislating equality of outcomes will destroy the society it's the same thing that destroyed all communist economies.

It's why American boxers at Olympics end up being rich from their talents and Cubans end up broke

Everywhere including the billionaires who gamble ro solve the toughest human challenges deserve to keep what they worked for which encourages them to do more and thus employ more people to help them get richer.
I don't get the left hate on billionaires and hating on success. Its against everything America is about, if it's easy everyone will become one. Everyone should aspire to be a billionaire and enjoy the socialism they are enjoying

Why will anyone want to be a neurosurgeon when you can be a cleaner and have the same outcomes

Are you really that dumb? This guy has been president before - his presidency saw a massive increase in job opportunity for blacks. Lowest unemployment rate in 50 years for low income workers and he released black prisoners from incarceration throughout his presidency - why would he need to act? His presidency speaks for itself. He dances to the crowd - that's totally right! Because he's not the president of the elites but of the masses - he does what the people he governs tell him to do🤷🏽‍♂️ is that not what the president should do.
You talk about rich elites giving him money- TRUMP? the first presidential candidate that said he doesn't need the money of the super-PAC? Babe, he's a billonaire - tell me one rich billonaire or company who has endorsed him except Elon Musk but Harris gets donations from Google, Amazon and the top 10 biggest companies in the United States - that tells you who's actually for the people or for big corporations like Black Rock.
Sincerely! All this pisses me off - base your argument on actual facts not what CNN tells you is true. If you really think the media is not trying to control what you think - I'm sorry for you.

She repeated it multiple times. Equality of outcomes is communism, your outcome depends on what you put into your life. I cannot expect to have the outcomes of Ronaldo

The guy driving a Ferrari did not get it gifted to him, he worked hard for it, he went to school for long years and was smart to start with. If I don't work as hard and not as smart as him, I should not expect his outcomes in life

Equality of outcome is why a Neurosurgeon and a cleaner should have the same outcome. When is she going to lead by example and let everyone have access to her standard of life?
I know people are going to twist it to say she means because a neurosurgeon drives a Ferrari then a store clerk should too.

When equality of outcomes simply means that if a neurosurgeon shouldn’t die of hunger or lack of adequate healthcare then it should be the same for a low wage worker. Access to basic human needs shouldn’t be restricted to only the wealthy and high class.

Everything they’ve been calling socialism is what other prosperous 1st world countries have been doing for their citizens without going bankrupt because taxes fund it

Here they’ll charge exorbitant taxes, then the giant corporations who have bought the lawmakers will lobby them into passing laws that benefit only the oligarch. Finally they’ll send their minions into the streets with propaganda about “who will pay for it?” “it’s socialism. bla bla bla”. And they lap that ish up.

Bag of Rice N350 in 1990 but now ~N100k.

Many people erroneously think the huge price difference is only as a result of inflation.

Yes, inflation is a contributing factor but the continuous increase in Minimum Wage without corresponding increase in Productivity is actually the major reason. If you check well, Min Wage in 1990 may be ~N500.

So instead of Govt to fight inflation, they keep increasing wages & each time Min Wage is increased, prices will also increase & the cycle continues.
That's the major reason we are in the current mess we are.

Expressing concerns over uncontrolled immigration is one thing,What you’re doing is another.

But if you want to act coy about your real motivation for these posts, I’ll just move along because we’ll be getting nowhere with this conversation strategy.
Botragelad:
When did expressing concerns about uncontrolled immigration become equated with White supremacism? If individuals from another country entered yours without permission, committed crimes, and refused to integrate, would you not raise concerns?

Imagine being in the US and failing to adapt to the law, would you not expect criticism? The UK is dealing with issues related to unregulated immigration and the people are tired.
Similarly, religious extremist ideologists who prioritize their beliefs over the country they are in. Isn't that a big problem!

You didn’t bruise my ego. What ego? I’m not a Muslim or an extremist Islam apologist.
I read everything he posted and the links as well.

If you want to address Islamic extremism, you cannot be insincere in your approach or you’re just handing them ammunition. I’ve called out extremist Muslims several times on this forum and on other platforms as well. I don’t have to support an unprovoked attack on them just because I’m trying to talk about what happened before while knowing very well that I’m telling an outright lie on the sequence of events. Just like you did in this case.

Accept correction and move on.

PS I don’t always disagree with you, so there’s no bad blood here but I can’t pretend not to see what you’re doing and your heavy bias.

PS the people I labeled white supremacists are indeed white supremacists because their problem isn’t just with extreme radical Muslim beliefs but everything non-white including YOU. Unless you’re a white person here pretending to be black
Botragelad:
You call me a Rabble rouser just because I've bruised your precious ego! Did you even bother to read Gloriousgbola response in question, or are you too confused to understand it?

The truth is, Muslim extremists, illegals influx have been allowed to run amok for far too long, despite warnings from native Brits to the government. That's the root of the problem, you girl! Criminals are flooding into the UK and making life unbearable for law-abiding citizens. And then there are Muslims who refuse to integrate and respect the laws, just because their religion says so.

Keep cuddling these religious extremists until you or someone close to you becomes a victim of their crimes. Only then will you understand that those you and your ilk label 'white supremacists' are, in fact, concerned parents, citizens and victims fighting to protect their country from being overrun by these religious zealots.
You're free to peddle your woke credentials to anyone who'll listen, and persuade people around you to follow your lead, but don't expect every sane person to fall into line.

A lot of the simmering resentment theory is true and I know all about it because me self na omo naija from the east. I know darn well.

That guy I was quoting is just an insincere rable rouser in that he was trying to pass off this particular incident as an unprovoked attack by Muslims on their host countries. Rather than actually stating what led to it.

Muslims most certainly need to assimilate to the culture of their host countries but he’s not even the kind of person to have a root cause conversation with because his bias can’t let him address issues objectively.
GloriousGbola:
There is a lot of simmering resentment because they feel and have seen police and social workers handle serious issues with kid gloves. They have also seen immigrants game and abuse the system. I watched a documentary on Pakistani grooming gangs who deliberately targeted young at risk girls. The police and social workers were aware, but everyone did nothing because they did not want to be called racist. When the whole thing blew up and members of the gang started getting arrested, they came to court dressed as Muslims so they could sell a persecution story.

It is for reasons like this you now see whites take matters into their own hands and trap Nigerian immigrants who try to groom young girls.

Of course it is a multifaceted issue, but immigrant communities will not police themselves and ensure things like this do not happen. Instead they want to bring their culture which does not give the prosperity and freedom they are looking for in the west with them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_New_Year%27s_Eve_sexual_assaults_in_Germany

This happened. The Charlie hebdo murders happened.

The Quran burning riots happened

Conservative Muslims move to liberal countries and rather than assimilate try to bring and impose their culture - because they think liberals are easily manipulated suckers who will bend over into pretzels in order to be politically correct .

Part of this is a backlash to what has been happening.

I also say this because in the last 15 years there has been an exodus of middle class northerners to lagos. Now they are also doing the same thing. Trying to entrench the conservative culture that led to the religious conflagration they fled from.

The expectation has been that living in a liberal culture will by itself influence Muslim immigrants from conservative societies to embrace liberal values. But it is obviously not working. We also saw how some Muslim youths were easily sucked into isis despite living in the UK all their natural lives.

There is an imam who was recently jailed for promoting terrorism. I cannot remember his name, so I Googled imam jailed UK, and came into this rabbit hole

I never implied that being called black is derogatory I don’t know where you’re getting that from.

And as far as this incident is concerned, the white people aren’t getting attacked in their country warranting them to defend themselves. The opposite is the case.

Pls research on the topic first

Dsimmer:
Of course I'm aware about the racism of some white Europeans towards the blacks, albeit I don't think any African should feel bad if called a black man. I mean Africans are simply black and should be proud of it because it's the original dominant melanin skin. Any white European who thinks he wanna make it offensive need to get his brain checked first because if his brain was intact, he would know black skin is the original dominant skin while white skin is a recessive disorder. In fact, such white European man should first take a look at his skin color which looks like a chicken who lost its feathers before talking gibberish about others.

That being said, I don't support the White Europeans getting attacked by any terrorist groups in their own European territory and they've got every right to defend themselves in their own territory.

I saw videos of them being interviewed in the street after it all happened and their major complaint was how they hate Asians and black immigrants. That whole Muslims ish is just a cop out and they do not regard you any differently for being Christian. Even those among them who can’t solve 4/2 think that you as an immigrant medical doctor took their job. That’s how delusional white supremacists are in their belief of being better than black people.

Botragelad:
I told you lot a few days ago, these extremists, criminals, some illegals are trouble. I called them out for their criminal behaviour and got attacked for it by some here.

Now, Muslim gangs are trying to attack anyone who disagrees with them, waving weapons around despite all the recent stabbings and terrorist attacks they've been responsible for. Religious extremists are always a threat, and you need to deal with them.

Look at Bangladesh, the military's taken over and Islamic extremists are burning Hindu temples. No one's saying a word. People need to stand up for our own and defend their homes from Invaders. The threat's real, and we can't ignore it.

The biggest problem we've got now is traitors and extremely woke liberals who think it's trendy to cuddle with terrorists.

Well, this is what happens when you let them flood into your country and do as they please. Notice how their supporters never say a peep about it, but the minute you stand up to them or defend your own, they twist the whole story and scream 'racist' or 'Islamophobe'. It's a bloody disgrace.
