Pretty much this. I do not live in first world country, I make about 500€ after taxes, which is less than average because I'm young, inexperienced and I can not generate enough capital yet. I pay about 100€ for shared room with some guy (and I live in most expensive city of my country), and I have 400€ left which is enough for eating in restaurant every day during work lunch, cigarettes, weed and drinking with friends about once a week. If I'm ill I have to pay a few euro for drugs. I have smaller purchasing power than first worlders, but life is pretty ok, and when I'll get to earning about 1000€/month, I'll move to my own apartment and my life will be pretty comfy.

Sometimes I take my free healthcare for granted.

You think that’s bad? Obamacare basically set up a system of regional monopolies and in my state the starting monthly premium for said monopoly was $350 this year and that was the basic package. All the Doctors and Pharmacists are used to dealing with this insurance company so there are consequences for not buying from them but fortunately that is changing. I didn’t buy from this insurance company cause I couldn’t afford it and when I tried to deal with them they straight up told me to go get on Medicaid—I didn’t make enough for them to even work with me to get a discounted rate. Discrimination against the poor by insurance companies is completely legal in America. I can’t get on Medicaid because my state is not an expansion state and I’m a young, relatively healthy, man. You have to be in dire straights and of a certain category of people (old people, disabled etc.) for them to help you. I was told by my Medicaid office that the only way I could get on Medicaid was if I had a disability (which I do have) and if it was so bad that I couldn’t work for two whole years!
Navigating the medical system without insurance is insane so I don’t regret buying insurance even though the cost relative to my income is high. If I was hospitalized though my insurance wouldn’t pay anything till my hospital bills exceeded $5,000 and now you know why medical expenses are the leading cause of American bankruptcy.

What the actual fuck is that cock sucking? Is (s)he actually an autistic Twitter tank?

Apparently so. Deleted all their posts too by the look of it. Banned the person who made the thread for spam for making two posts.

I find really surprising thirld worldists, like
The hundred of people who struggle and have struggled for socialism in my country, the hundreds of political prisioners, persons killed by the state…
Are they not revolutionaries? Are they priviledged "first worlists"?
I find this defeatism really bad, and it seems as either an excuse, or outright COINTELPRO ,it is anti-Marxist

I don't think he is a thirld worldist lad

What if I think that revolution CAN happen in the First World, but only in a situation of complete social breakdown, as we saw in Europe in the aftermath of WWI? Am I a 1st worldist or a 3rd worldist?
