Conservatives love to point at public services and say "This costs money to run."

[–] GuyLivingHere@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Very succinct comment.

Conservatives seem to think one of two things:

There are public services that should benefit them and them only. These should be free. (Roads seem to be the most important among conservatives in my neck of the woods)

Public services that don't serve them specifically should be done away with. (Public healthcare, education, transport)

Anything else seems to them to be a waste of "my money".

They are the most selfish, ignorant buffoons imaginable. They say they just want to be left alone, yet they barge into public forums and bitch all the time.

It's like "well fine, why are you even here to begin with if you don't want to interact with other people? Just fuck off and live your own life far away from the rest of us. We have a society to run here."
