[–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I am always amazed at how people can think something that would benefit them is a conspiracy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] landsharkkidd@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago Seriously! I mean holy shit, look at the people who cry about socialism whenever someone says that healthcare should be free and not privatised. Or that hey, maybe people should be paid a liveable wage. It just doesn't make sense whenever people are so against something that, yeah, could benefit them. It reminds me of that moment where Fry from Futurama is asked why he's cheering against poor people because he's not rich, and he replies saying "Someday I might be rich, and people like me better watch their step!" permalink fedilink source parent
