    Do you consider any of these being publicly funded “socialism” or “demanding something of your peers”?

    Yes.

    So to me it looks… weirdly disconnected to call any of these things “thinking you’re owed something from your peers”, just because one of these individual pieces might not be immediately relevant to your day to day routine.

    I wouldn’t consider my position “weirdly disconnected”. You could use your argument for anything. “What do you mean you don’t support public strip clubs? You use public roads don’t you?”

      I have never in my life seen a publicly owned strip club or heard of governmental strip club subsidisations.

      Is that a US thing?

      A national or international rail network makes long distance travel safer, faster, more affordable, more sustainable and by those factors incredibly more accessible to lower income citizens.

      You pay taxes regardless, wouldn’t you want them to go towards something that benefits you and your peers?

        You don’t get the point of what I’m saying? You don’t understand analogies?

        Is this a commerical or a reply?

        Not in this circumstance.

          Analogies usually relate to the topic i guess.

          Not a commercial, didn’t know stating facts relevant to the discussion is frowned upon in your circles.

          Guess we’re done here, if you don’t like to discuss anything, maybe just don’t reply next time.

            My analogy wasn’t deep. If you don’t understand how it relates to the topic 🤷‍♀️

              you just seem so upset at me listing the benefits of a concept as basic as public transport without ever mentioning anything other than “but communism” and “irrelevant other thing should not be publicly funded so neither should this” :'D

              Like sorry that it works in most of the western world
