flexghost.Listen to Carl Sagan’s thoughtful response to “are you a socialist?”
Nonya Bidniss 🥥🌴@flexghost American politicians generally have a very flawed, narrow understanding of what national security is, hence they also misunderstand the scope of efforts and investments necessary to bring it about.
Claude@Nonya_Bidniss @flexghost The USA, if Reagan hadn't cut taxes for the rich to the extend he did, would have money for both national security and taking care of people.
@switch My point is that taking care of people must be understood as one of the integral pillars of national security. Our politicians who are beholden to billionaires because of an intentionally broken political system find it inconvenient to understand this. The essential constituent of a strong, secure nation is a healthcare-secure, dwelling-secure, well-educated citizen. @flexghost
@Nonya_Bidniss I agree 100%. Thanks for the explanation. I had almost added "moreso national security and taking care of people are not mutually exclusive" to my comment above. @flexghost
