Jesus wept. This shit makes me so angry. I'm trying to keep people alive at work. Austerity is literally killing people and I have to read this when I get home.
lesser evilism then. It only goes so far. We're seeing how far right now, in our own lifetime.
and yet by conflating her with 'urban75 posters' you are doing the classic wind up- fair enough, it works. I'm aware, more than ever as I age that politics and society as a whole is a very complex and nuanced thing. Despite the hysterical cries of the newly aware liberal left some of us have been examining and living that complexity, from the shit end
27 million french people for starters- but you term utter rejection as indifference. This is a mistake.
Erm we do debate on U75 certainly. But there's nothing wrong with that. A lot of people on here do a lot of other real world stuff too though you know. At the sharp end kind of stuff.
Ah, but in America, "red" means Republican and "blue" means Democrat, so yes, she is red, in America at least!
So explaining the consequences of choosing Trump in a Trump vs "Liberals" makes you angry.
"Liberals" is a meaningless term used by pish artists and jakeys to mean anything from Corbyn to Le Pen and any combination in between.
Seriously fuck off mate. I've waited for ambulances while people have died in my arms. You have no idea about me or what I do.
I agree that many here have real world experience of working with folk at the sharp end of austerity and greed, wherever they live. I read the post differently though - that what the current US administration and GOP congress is doing is literally closer to home for some people (i.e. people who live there, have family directly impacted, etc.) than others. The former are likely to be thinking more pragmatically about the limited choices before them, almost "survival mode". For the latter, from a safer distance, it's likely to be more about talking points, political theory and for some maybe, a game.
What is this shit. For much of Urban75. What the very fuck. Get a grip.
People who had the NHS.
well, it does when you are trying to conflate the way liberal is used, not just on urban75. It has a precise political meaning, one which you seem to studiously ignore in favour of horshoe theory type laughing up your sleeve.But: it has nothing to do with 'reds', though. It amuses me when you try to apply some sort of simplistic formula whereby, if I'm in disagreement with some U75 posters, it must be because I'm 'anti-red'.
It's so quaint, simplistic and silly, that I have to chuckle.
I understand that the world becomes more comprehensible if one is able to fit everyone and everything into nice, well-defined boxes. So it's unfortunate when reality isn't amenable to such simplistic categorization.
Completely get that and understand. But some British posters have direct experience of the USA. May have lived there etc.
And I think the USA ought to have the NHS. A single payer system at least where people have access to health on the basis of need rather than wealth.
G was Korean American. I spent time with her.
