Well you can’t fix it from within the system. You can’t fix it with vigilantism, but it can be fixed as every other country in earth has fixed this problem.
There was time to fix it from within the system. That was before the fascist dictator was elected. There is no fix at this point. The good news is it will almost certainly come all crashing down due to incompetence and you only have a few years before global warming because a much bigger problem than healthcare anyway.
What do I want? A socialist utopia. I’m just not under any illusions about it happening in America.
You apparently do. Trump has nothing, whatsoever, to do with the state of healthcare, and won’t. The ACA was a Republican think tank health plan, and is directly responsible for the state we’re in. Healthcare reform hasn’t been on the table in a serious manner in this country, from any party.
Trump has everything to do with the fact that there is not going to be any chance to do any sort of progressive reforms in America again in the foreseeable future. Just like there are not going to be any elections again in the foreseeable future.
Lets be real, Batman’s method of vigilantism was to beat up the people being hurt the most by the system, the poor, the lonely, the mentally unhinged, he didn’t really participate in going after the people responsible for sad state of affairs in Gotham.
Also you cant fix this country with a fully captured government either, so is your point that we should just give up?
Or will you accept that in this case, the plural of vigilante is revolutionaries.
Ah yes, the great revolution that’s been coming any day now my entire life that will set everything right.
Weird how this revolution didn’t happen before the fascist dictator got into power when it might have had a much greater chance of success.
I don’t really care what you do. Feel free to think America will be a socialist paradise with permanent Republican rule and if it isn’t, the people who either voted for Trump or didn’t give enough of a shit to vote at all will totally rise up and change things. Sounds probable.
Batman repeatedly made attempts at systemic change using his wealth. It’s kind of his arc - he starts young out of anger and rage with his only limit being he would not kill. As he ages, his various funds and programs he starts run into roadblocks from criminals seeking to exploit vulnerabilities in then to enrich themselves. But his biggest problem (in Gotham at least) is that there are many villains who simply want to fight progress because it makes them feel good. His money can do a lot of the work, but his particular skills allow him to apprehend some of the biggest challenges to his goals.
But he’s still human. He’s still deeply flawed. That’s sort of the whole point. He’s not fixing everything alone, he can’t. None of us can.
Good point ☝️
Also batman didn’t change the systemic issues with Gotham.
This is exactly what I have been saying since the assassination. You cannot fix systemic problems with vigilantism.
Did anyone’s coverage go down? No. Did UHC just deny the claim of a woman in a coma? Yes.

The fuck do you people want then?
Fix it within the system using the threat of vigilantism as the or else.
That’s how we got worker rights… threat of communism.

No, there demonstrably wasn’t. This happened under Biden.
Sorry, do you think time began in 2020?

You still think things are fixable in the U.S.
You are in for a rude awakening.
