"I deserve-it/actually-need-it not like those other free loaders" is a very real attitude that many Americans have.

I have a relative that needs about 1800 a month for their Insulin. They're disabled but if they applied for disability they wouldn't be poor enough to qualify for public assistance and the disability payments wouldn't be enough to cover the price of insulin so they're forced to live in poverty until they old enough to retire.

So it takes less labor to sustain your insulin needs than to sustain your food requirements. Universal Healthcare would be better but this is pretty reasonable.

She may switch to that group of Republicans in denial about being Republicans that are known as Libertarians.

I don't owe you, an internet stranger, my time. And calling someone names expecting2 them to comply with your demand for their time is a bizarre tactic and also a dick move. Unless you can summarize this video in a paragraph tops, I just don't care and with how shitty a person you're showing yourself to be, we're really down to one or two sentences which is more of my attention then you deserve.

Not entirely. As they say, there's a different between being peaceful and being harmless. Sometimes the threat or implication of violence is just as or more effective.

I could see someone in his shoes be worried about war crimes or crimes against humanity at this point. Even if they ARE drug dealers, you can't just blow up the boat and it's also very possible they've killed innocent bystanders.

I could see someone in his shoes be worried about war crimes or crimes against humanity at this point with the boats they've been blowing up

New Title: Local Republican in denial about what being a Republican means shocked to discover truth about Republicans

If you haven't joined a union, do so. If you have joined a union, start agitating for a general strike and don't let the legality of a strike stop you. People can't force you to work. Air Canada recently told the government to get bent and "illegally" stayed on strike for 3 days until securing almost everything they asked for. You're not slaves.
