If you’ve never lived in a society that offered socialist advantages like affordable health care, elder care, government-funded community engagement programs, etc. then I guess it’s easy to be scared by things you don’t understand.
I’m not putting this on you, but when people turn to religion with fear already pulsing through their veins, good things never happen.
I don’t think it’s commenting in good faith to think the only reason I would find those things dystopic is because I am ignorant or haven’t experienced them.
That sort of insulting non-answer from utopian is precisely what tends to scare me — and lead to horrific outcomes in the real world.
There is nothing dystopian about having a dental emergency handled in the middle of the night, at no cost to you.
I’ll say it again:
You’re assuming I’m ignorant about or haven’t experienced what you’re talking about.
This comment, like the one before, isn’t made in good faith.
That's a rich assessment on a thread about the precipitous decline in US church attendance.
I rest my case.
