An inlaw was a social worker and is racist.

I'm sure he'd be offended if called out on it, but he can't deny it. He's obviously aware of what he's saying: there's a god damned reason he started saying 'Canadians' instead of 'black people', 'the brothers', or 'blacks'.

"Canadians" was a very popular replacement online a number of years ago.

Now the "citation needed" has moved to your "He's not an anomaly" statement.

For this line of argument to be convincing you need to show that there are more fash in the emt/ff community and nurses than there is in the general public, if we're supposed to single them out as being particularly bad. That said, I'm from the UK and the vast majority of our medical workers are big ol' socialists, so I might be overreacting.

Nobody, including me, said that they were singularly bad. I just objected to the idea that they, by virtue of profession alone, were singularly good.

Fwiw, I'd bet nurses were about societal average while ems/ff were worse, since ems/ff tend to have very close ties to the cops. I do not have citations beyond personal experience as a nurse and former emt.

Though I don't think there should be anything wrong with commenting on beauty.

Men really need to stop treating women like their principal function is to please us. If she were speaking to a crowd about her politics, would you want to take up question time to comment on her beauty? This sets aside the proposition that “nice big boobs” has ever been a welcome comment from a strange man, which would surprise me.

He'll be hard pressed to get a job in the industry requiring an NDA though, that's for sure.

I just don't buy that, though. Most NDAs are for incredibly mundane poo poo, like "I won't show your competitors the cost breakdown that you provided me", not hush payments. Someone breaking an NDA to expose poo poo that the president has done is just not the same as breaking an NDA related to actual professional behavior.

The film and television industry is full of people who don't want what they do known. And that's before you get to the mundane poo poo like "don't talk about your audition sides" or whatever. i know someone in atlanta who signed an NDA for GOTG2, made some blog post, and never auditioned again. poo poo's real.

For him, any big production is going to remember that he just casually dropped those secrets during an open mic set. Trump is an animal for sure and gently caress him, but that wasn't an NDA with trump, but with like NBC Universal or whomever.

They will remember that.

I'm not saying anecdotes are enough to prove it or anything, but I've worked in EMS for the past 6 years, and there's definitely more open racism and white supremacy in the EMS crowd than the general population. Part of it is that there's an inherent solidarity among the EMT/Police/Fire community because we mostly only hang out with each other, but I think a larger part of it is that EMS is massively overworked for a population that is massively under-provided for.

.....


It's a deep resentment and it's really contagious. I could go on with tons of examples, but it's already kind of off topic. But consider it a +1 to "yeah, EMS has lots of white supremacy."

EMS tends to polarize views pretty effectively. Generally the shittiness of our work environment (overworked, underpaid, left to deal with the most depressing scenarios imaginable) puts steady pressure on providers to resent their patients.

However I’ve encountered, in near equal measure, a lot of extremely left folks that get an inside view on how capitalist health care is basically destroying our society. I’m one of those.

Generally I’d say this field suffers like any other from a lack of nuanced thinking or enlightened world views—we just have more because the barrier for entry is pretty low and we tend to attract law enforcement wannabes or Ricky rescue types.

its completely impossible to put anyone but a criminal grifter in a Trump admin because literally ever single successful Republican pol is a criminal grifter. it's the qualifying characteristic of being a Republican. Trump is like the ur-grifter but the party's been moving that way for decades, hes just the obvious culmination.

That's not true.

In addition to the amoral "whatever makes me money" grifting crowd, there are a whole bunch of immoral people who are driven by that immorality more than a desire to grift people. Steven Miller for example dgaf about making money off the rubes, he just wants his white ethnostate.

Do like that one girl and make up a story saying you're persecuted for MAGA crimes.

Just don't outright go "hah free iphome x bitches".

Here's a starter:
"Dear Friends and #Patriots,

While i can unfortunately never be a graduated of Trump U, I did the next best thing and pledged to be part of <lovely christian college>. But my terrible California Hippie parents said they would only allow me to go to U C Commie (Berkeley) to be indoctrinated against everything that #MAGA. Now I'm living with friends, need to pay my tuition and find a place to live. Can you spare $10 to help me get started"

Sprinkle with more appeals to Trump or saying you want to be a congressional aide or drain the swamp.

I mean, obviously the joke answer is Everyone I Agree With, the implied answer is My Team Only, but the real life answer is all of us are worthy of death and in line for execution. No one gets what they deserve, because deep down, with suitable reflection, you know what you’ve done, and you very likely haven’t forgiven yourself. You’re a smart human, probably. You know what turn of the hangman’s noose was yours. You know what evil you’ve put into society. No one is exempt, because everyone is part of the decline. And if you say No, Not Me, it’s ESPECIALLY you. Because you haven’t even started your examination, which means you haven’t made amends for your piece of the problem.
