r/tuesday This lady's not for turning Dec 02 '24

Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 2, 2024

INTRODUCTION

/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found here

Are they insane, or are they just responding naturally to how fucked our healthcare system is and no one seems interested in fixing it?

They are insane. The brokenness of our healthcare system comes from Washington, not from insurance executives.

Right. Washington, and not the insurance companies denying claims.

If it was revealed that the shooter lost a loved one because due to a denied claim, could you really blame him?

An explanation is not an excuse

An explanation isn’t an excuse. But ignoring an explanation is a recipe for repetition

Maybe. But assuming you're serious about solving the problem. You need to understand the motive to prevent future hits wouldn't you?

I see what you’re saying. You’re talking pure cause and effect rather than about moral blame; in that case, I’d say you’re right.
