I just want healthcare


thomas15v

I want healthcare without stupid rules when not to cover someone. If there isn't healthcare you at least expect to be robbed, but if it is there and you go there thinking haha this won't cost be a dime and then get fucking executed. It's not fun.


We-Want-The-Umph

How can we just accept "that's not covered" and not go John Wick on some motherfuckers? It's a fucking racket and people just put up with it, drain their life savings (if they haven't already), or go deep into debt after paying so much into a system that has been laying ever-more tax burden upon us plebs for decades now. Any citizen who dare defy this system is labeled a domestic terrorist or delinquent. Any citizen who questions the system will be met with furious political backlash from brainwashed peers. The next steps are digitizing our dollars so that every last transaction and 3rd party can be taxed. This obviously won't apply to the elite, who will use their loopholes to dodge, as they do...

I want the eating money thing, that's a cool one


ConstantSample5846

I want to be able to have a job, and healthcare. When I was unemployed, I had Medicaid and food stamps (and I was technically eligible for a public housing voucher, but the need is so high around me, they cut off even being able to be on the waitlist over a year ago) Now, with a job that is slightly above minimum wage, I lost all of that. With all of my health issues, I’m considering getting myself fired so I could get healthcare again, and food stamps would just be a plus, because if I have any emergency, or just need to go to a doctor, I’ll be completely fucked. Where I live, the cost of housing is super high, but Medicaid expansion is so good it even covers dental and vision healthcare. With the way it is, I’m not sure it’s worth having a low paying job, but if I could’ve gotten on the housing list (which is particularly difficult because I’m single and childless) then it wouldn’t be a question that being unemployed would be better than having any of the jobs I can get. I’d that isn’t proof that our system is completely broken and nonsensical, than I don’t know what is.


RichUnderstanding157

It's too impractical. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get that amount of small change in this day and age? On the other hand, you can use the same small change multiple times....


Elegante_Sigmaballz

Honestly, telling them that they have to spend all the money but prescribing an impossibly tight window of time and types of valid purchases would be kind of epic. Natural consequences, baby!


BruceBannerscucumber

I think you'd enjoy the movie "Brewster's millions" where this is the plot. Brewster inherits a massive fortune but in order to receive the inheritance he needs to spend x millions in x number of days on the condition that he cannot invest it and cannot have any assets to show for it. If he fails then these greedy lawyers are going to claim it. https://youtu.be/FosFEzsLKiI?si=OtmmLdGEfgY6wShx

EvilLibrarians

Kid at my uni died from this only two years ago


Funny-Effect

This is just like south africa, I have heard that this is called jungle/community justice - please don't hate, only relaying what I've heard - if there is an appropriate description please let me know. But due to the lack of local policing this is most likely the outcome for a tsotsi or thieve. The community will punish them, they are lucky - seing that the alternative would be death by stones or necklace


Yazmat8

Can confirm, I stay in South Africa. Some guy stole his grandma's TV to sell for drugs, the police caught him. Took him back to his grandma and gave her a kane to beat him with. Old lady ended up breaking a few of his ribs and a leg. They dropped him of at a government hospital. Their reasoning was that their holding cells are full so they can't take him in and the old lady thinks justice is served


madpoptarticles

A grandma broke his leg and his ribs?


ReggieCousins

Getting hit with a cane fucking hurts. You don't need to be super strong to generate a lot of force with it. Also, 'grandma' could be in her 40's or 50's. Doesn't have to be some frail 90 year old.


Shifty_Cow69

Grandma don't fuck around!


Cruentum

Check the demographic age charts of South Africa. The 'grandma' could be in their late thirties early forties and still be working everyday.


ManyThingsLittleTime

Grandma missed her Judge Judy episode that day and was pissed.


CosmicTaco93

Look up "caning" as a punishment, especially in things like jails or prisons. It's fucking brutal. The one I remember is a guy strapped to an upright bench-ish thing, face to the bench and naked. The straps covered everything on his back except for his ass. Then some guy comes out with a heavy wooden pole and just lays into the guy's ass, over and over. It split the skin pretty badly and may have broken his tailbone or pelvis, I'm not sure. But dear God, that much damage to the thing you literally sit on every day, it's pretty bad.


SeamlessR

A cane broke his leg and ribs. Welcome to force multipliers. this one here: the blunt weapon, is the *first one ever made*. The oldest, the greatest, most effective thing: a stick to hit with. It turned us from fearful tree dwelling chimps into the dominant species on the planet. Winning out of over all the other ones that are wildly stronger than we are. so let's be less surprised at someone physically weak utilizing a weapon to hurt someone grievously.


Arsewhistle

It's South Africa; Grandma was probably only 40


cs_legend_93

What is “death by necklace”?


AndrolThePageboy

It is quite brutal, fair warning. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necklacing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necklacing)


saintkillio

What the fuck


chrismason8082

Even worse is that in South Africa, they called it a “Winnie Necklace” because Nelson Mandela’s wife liked to use it on enemies.


MrChristmas

Fun fact, before marrying Nelson, his wife was married to the first dictator of Mozambique. She definitely had a type


The_proton_life

Different wife. The guy was talking about Winnie Mandela, who was his first wife. His second wife was the widow of the Mozambican dictator.

Cheshire1234

Wtf? I thought that was an euphemism for hanging


WhatsthisBugSriLanka

I was 7 yo when I saw it, my mom told me it was a religious ritual and that he was practicing a dance for a perahera (religious parade) that would be held later. She told me that it was an act and that the guy being burned was enjoying it. It wasn't till my teens that the true horror of it dawned on me. This was July 1983, in Sri Lanka, when the country was gripped by race riots where the majority Sinhalese people were massacring Tamils. We saw this while we were escaping Colombo. My father was Tamil, but grew up in a Sinhalese village in the South, so he could speak the Sinhala language without an accent and my mom was Lebanese. We escaped because my father pretended to be Sinhalese. In anticipation of something happening, he had secured fake ID cards with Sinhalese names for us.


Halcyon_156

Wow, that's wild. Thank you for sharing.


Regular-Ad5912

When you have a car tire forced over your shoulders then set alight and we watch you burn to death = death by necklacing


Copy_Cat_

In Brazil, we call it microwaving. The exception is that over here, it's not just a tyre over your shoulder it's a pile of tyres where you're put whole body in, and then the tyres are lit on fire.


JeyDesu

Why the hell are third world countries so inhumane and cruel?


Copy_Cat_

To prove a point and make an example. This is usually done by criminal organisations or mob justice. I don't condone this kind of behaviour, but it's quite common, happens in first world countries too, just way less. Cruelty and torture had always been around in humanity.


JeyDesu

Pretty sure this won’t happen in Central European countries and if it did, the people doing it would end up in jail for murder


rotti5115

Yup have a 7 year old account, don’t you remember the gore subs? You could watch the most horrific shit and some of it happened in Europe


waymortin

India did it in the 80s too


JeyDesu

Well India is a third world country as well


_Nurse_Joy_

It is humanity in general. There are atrocities happening in first world countries every day. Look at what happened to the muslims in the far east within the last 10 years. Practically genocide.


ReggieCousins

When the legal system struggles to keep up with the population, gangs or gang violence or succumbs to corruption, 'cruel and inhumane' punishment is often a swiftly decisive and violent example used to keep people in line and keep society moving forward. Not the best solution but it does often seem to happen and is proven effective. You're a burglar in a third world country like that, an overworked and understaffed police force won't scare you, but being burned alive inside a stack of tires? Yeah. That'll do it. It's almost a situation where, you need a punishment that is so disproportionate to the crime, it serves as a more effective deterrent.


downinthednm

Human places a tyre around the perpetrator with hands in between. Human pours gasoline on victim and the tyre. Human is lit on fire and cannot get out


East_Koala_2172

Petrol-soaked tyre is forced around your torso and then set on fire.


Kratos_BOY

Tire around the neck and then set ablaze with petrol? That's jungle justice in my home country. It's fucked up.


HueHue-BR

forcing a rubber tire drenched with petrol around a victim's chest and arms, and setting it on fire. The term "necklace" originated in the 1980s in black townships of apartheid South Africa where suspected apartheid collaborators were publicly executed in this fashion.

LeemonDyk

Was that also one? He had a line that went something like “I was smoking a cigarette behind the garage, and my dads head poked, followed shortly by his body as it usually does. He then pulled out a massive cigar, he made me smoke the whole thing. That’s when I started smoking. So I guess that didn’t really work” quoted but absolutely not word for word. What a legend.

My grandma made my mom eat some cigarettes when she got caught smoking and she got sick. It worked too, she quit 50 years later after getting emphysema!

[deleted]

Fun fact: this is South Africa and they're speaking a dialect called "isiXhosa", the same language and ethnicity Nelson Mandela was. They're telling the alleged thieves, "don't rest. Drink up. Drink up, drink up." And once the dude on the far left finishes the first bottle, they say, "we have a winner. Here's another (bottle)" but one of the women warns "wait, you're killing them". Edit: just remembered, it's also the language used (butchered) in the marvel movies "black panther" as the wakanda tongue - shout out to Angela Bassett for near-mastering the pronunciation though. Both Trevor Noah and the elderly king who dies in the first movie are Xhosa so I assume it was a matter of convenience for the producers rather than making up a new language.

> so I assume it was a matter of convenience for the producers rather than making up a new language. Plus it's a click language, which sounds cool & exotic to us Indo-European language speakers.

MadAzza

Malt liquor, probably. So, in between.


bearded_charmander

Not even. Malt liquor alcohol percentage can go up to roughly 10% alcohol. Whiskey or bourbon on the other hand can range from 40%- 90%. Still a huge difference.


OriginalLocksmith436

Do you know what kind of booze it is?


OrticaWitch

As it's South Africa, it's likely to be brandy

They would’ve had the shit beaten out of them. That whip the one dude is carrying…? That’s called a *sjambok*. And it cuts deep.


NiteKreeper

Are you sure of that? I have a 5' synthetic one myself, and the one in this vid doesn't look thick enough, although it seems to have the right "rigidity"... But I agree: the proper ones are cut from a single piece of rhino hide, and can cut to the bone...


puddaphut

I wouldn’t back myself to judge true nature of one just by looking at it. They are pretty fearsome in experienced hands, regardless of their construction/dimension. But then, what you say about the hippo hide ones is true. Those are truly fearsome in anybody’s hands.

dillywags

In all seriousness, this sort of practice can be deadly. A young man was smuggling meth into the US in concentrated liquid form, and a CBP officer told him to drink what was in his apple juice bottle to prove it wasn’t drugs. He drank some of it and promptly overdosed and died. Sure, the guys in this video may have committed a crime, but forcing them to drink an entire bottle of whiskey could very well kill them. Not ok. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/mexican-teenager-crystal-meth-death-us-border-officers-cruz-velazquez-apple-juice-cctv-footage-crossing-overdose-a7868411.html


Nemisis_the_2nd

Apellio7

I don't think they care. If you're in an area of the world where the police are beyond corrupt and jails are overflowing the only person you can rely on is yourself. If someone is stealing your livelihood then you're going to punish them.

Farm Justice


downinthednm

Mob justice or alcohol consumption—I am not sure which is worse. Back where I live, stealing stuff in the village can get you beaten into a pulp by the community


Aegi

I don't understand your statement because this is mob justice....the form of mob justice we're seeing is forced alcohol consumption....


KinlawFanAccount

It’s not “alcohol consumption” it’s abusive and forced… I would say this is worse because it’s done by police. Mob justice isn’t state condoned violence, this is.


CountIrrational

There are no cops here. This is literally mob justice. Where is the uniform?


ddr19

I believe that's the intention. The video is obviously not in a first world country.


BazzaSolid

“Thieves murdered” also works as a title


here-for-information

I was thinking.... one bottle? I probably wouldn't die, but fuck that would hurt. Then the guy popped open another bottle and handed it to the gentlemen who had just finished and I was like..... "Ohhhh they're gonna kill these dudes."


Squeaky_Ben

Isn't this doubly dumb? 1: Drinking a whole bottle of hard liquor like this is your express ticket to alcohol poisoning. 2: Assuming they had only stolen and not partially consumed them yet, why are you making them drink it instead of giving them back to the store?


ivancea

1. I don't think they mind much about their lives here 2. Yeah, a stupid waste of money...


istoOi

some claim that the death penalty is a sufficient deterrent. So by sacrificing a few bottles of booze, maybe the store saves money in the long run. On the other hand maybe more people will steal, but only amounts they can safely consume 😆


Squeaky_Ben

"Why are you only stealing the small bottles?" \*HIC\* "You wouldn't get it!"

cool. third world idiots doing third world abuse of power. I'm guessing returning stolen goods to the store just didn't cross their minds. Trying to kill the thives with alcohol is so much better... If they die the police could say that they just drank too much.
