True, but this is about insurance. It’s only incidental that it’s car insurance but this applies to home and health insurance too.
clueless to how things actually work
Are we really clueless or rather idealistic? Because OOP is talking about how she would expect things to work in a fair world, which is a common sentiment. Everyone in the comments here is either trying to explain why this doesn’t work or expressing how it could work.
I find it quite ironic to criticize us for allegedly not knowing how things work while simultaneously failing to grasp how the community works when the comments are right there, and also not staying accurate to the content of the post. Double whammy.
It’s not car hating, at all. It’s a car owner who explains why the world owes him money.
Before Lemmy, I would have pegged this as typically US conservative: Self-centered morons who refuse to learn things and instead make up conspiracy fantasies about how they are robbed. It’s basically how you get the Trump tariffs.
I’m sure I’ve become more conservative since being active on Lemmy. Shit like this is why.
This post combines two of lemmites favourite past times.

So, how does the community work?
Read the comments to find out.
I did, hence my despair.

Haha, I know the feeling. You aren’t going right, everything else is moving left. That’s just the progression of politics.
The “leftists” here are some of the most conservative people I’ve ever interacted with.
