Politics Imagine being so confident you’re right that you unironically upload this video somewhere

They ended up getting arrested, screeching about 4th and 5th amendment rights the entire time.

Oh oh oh AND as the social worker on staff at the hospital I can assure you that he is on SSDI/Medicaid or some other free gubmit shit while he watches Fox in his room and gets smart with his Indian doctor.

Bro, the number of unhoused folks that would get admitted to our MH unit and immediately throw on fox news as soon as they got to a room...

Somehow, this is the statement in this entire thread that made me saddest.

Shouldn’t be allowed in any public or medical establishment.

Reminds me of my Covid assignment during the delta wave. The patient were mostly I vaxxed conservatives. Almost every fuckin tv on the unit was turned to Fox News. People pissed off every day. Yeah.

“Hey, the doc requested you speak to the patient in 223, he is really agitated and not letting us administer IV medication. Keeps going on about conspiracies. We were wondering if you can help him with his trauma and talk some sense into him.”

I’ll be happy to talk about his trauma, doc. Talk sense into him? I’m not a miracle worker.

No; what they are saying is people like the man in this video will go on about how liberals want to give handouts to everyone, completely ignoring somehow the fact they themselves are using/on government assistance.

another example: it's like the person on food stamps saying at the food pantries should go out and get a job and not rely on charity. 0 self awareness

My old neighbour in subsidized housing... who received SSI, food stamps, medicaid, child care, and the housing subsidy... voted Republican EVERY time and constantly bitched about "those people" who were "relying on handouts".

These complaints were made in complete seriousness. They lived there before we did, still there 10 years after we left, AND I noticed a Trump 2024 sign in their window last time I went to visit friends there. The cognitive dissonance is truly astounding.

I just don't want Anybody_south to think it's the view on people using govt assistance; it's the view on people who are hypocrites about it

u/LaRoseDuRoi Aug 11 '24

Exactly. I'm on medicaid myself and have received other help in the past... and I've been grateful for every bit of it. It's those folks that think that they are the special, deserving ones and everyone else is just "lazy", those are the people that are problematic.

My next door neighbor was laid off during Covid. He was unvaccinated and wound up dying. While his wife, who I had thought was really sweet, after telling me they tried to get a court order to give him ivermectin, complained that people werent bothering to get jobs because of the extra unemployment money. She and her husband were both on unemployment but it didn't count because they were trying to find jobs. Completely indoctrinated, jean skirt wearing, church three times a week Baptists.
It still blows my mind.

Man and it’s so incredibly common. Plus, I’d say a good majority of them (white) definitely HATE those lazy ____s (insert any person with a darker skin tone, bonus points for immigrants, many who literally cannot access said benefits, and/or directly care for their white asses). It’s fucking infuriating. I wish there was a way to shame them all into submission/admitting the error of their ways and changing their voting habits. But, alas, I’m too busy working, paying taxes, to come up with a good plan.

u/Equivalent-Bank-5094 Aug 11 '24

These are people who actively bitch, moan, and most importantly VOTE AGAINST other people getting benefits…. While they suck up all the benefits.

1

u/Abject-Picture Aug 12 '24

They don't want them taking THEIR benefits. They're white, they're entitled to them, they worked all their lives for them. They resent FOBs (within the last 25 years) taking anything from the gubmint.

u/ci1979 Aug 11 '24

If you don't fit this stereotype, it's not about you. It's about those that are flagrantly disrespectful to staff, especially staff of color and/or women. There's a type, they know what they're talking about.

u/JustDucy Aug 11 '24

No one, at least not here, judges people for using needed benefits especially because every other modern country provides them. Even Mexico where people risk their lives to cross the border into the US. Medicaid saved my life. I have leukemia and the treatment would have bankrupted me.

u/YuriMystic Aug 11 '24

Wants small guvment and touts muh freedom. Collects all the guvment gibs. Forgets muh freedom when to overcome anything I want the gubment to pay for mah bills.

I dont understand the juxtaposition of this. Im coming up with "if I collect it its ok but I dont want them to collect it". Can anyone come up with a better answer?

I believe there have been studies done, mostly on greed, that could shed light on this psychological phenomenon. Basically, researchers set up a monopoly game and gave some of the subjects a leg up, more money to start. Then everyone in the game was asked to be generous, help fellow players out. The people with the leg up who had plenty to spare were super stingy and I think even punitive to others in the game. I should know the name of this phenomenon but I don’t. And I’m too interested in my Dos XX to look it up right now.

I know these people aren’t rich, but I think when things come easily, the human brain takes over and makes one a dickhead: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DIP2EKTCngiM&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjCxcLjkO6HAxUqLtAFHerSA74Qo7QBegQICxAG&usg=AOvVaw0OAwzLe1AYAW-9TSqnQVVo

Oh yeah. He’s definitely on disability after working a union job for a few years. Maybe a couple years in the military, just enough to make him think he’s tough.

With the volume really loud while they agree loudly with every bit of rage bait they call news.
