That’s where you lost me. A lot of awful things have allowed us to flourish, but the ends don’t justify the means.
Getting older after a lifetime of aggressive left activism. I'm starting to accept we're falling into the end game for this epoch and I like the American (EU/NATO/West backed) iron fist best.
I prefer our imperialist iron fist over Putin or Xi's. Fuck it, I said it. I say it IRL to all my 30 to 50 yr old lifetime blue bubble living lefty friends from both coasts and damn near anywhere in this country, all the time, and we all agree at this point. I'd rather our shitty capitalist colonial defense contract oil pipeline bullshit than the organ harvesting of Muslims (while purporting to be an ally to MENA). Better than that Nazi Russian genocidal fuck's world order. Don't forget all the other psychopaths across Eurasia with nukes.
The world is hard and scary and shitty. We just had a peaceful unprecedented bubble for a few decades. And now we're about to run out of natural resources. People need to grow the fuck up or they're in denial.
Fuck it. USA USA USA
Honestly this has become my attitude as well. I hate it, but it seems like everyone else is even worse.
Seriously. Have to talk to adults like my first grader.. "I understand you don't like it. I know what that feels like. I don't like it either. But that's the world little one"
The US removed organs from people held in immigration detention centers.
I would urge you to look at what your own country is doing in comparison to the worst of what you hear about other countries.
Fox news... Yeah. You so far left, I'm a conservative....
Come on, faux news, three years ago, allegations from one person, for things they didn’t witness, against one doctor. The article also includes denials and announces an investigation- so where did the investigation go? Were there any other journalistic updates? Was this “whistleblower” status real?
And the article finishes with the flourish that this is like eugenics legislation and mass sterilization? How far from left field did they pull that one.
Most definitely I hope there was a thorough investigation, and journalists keeping them on their toes, and if this one doctor did things against informed consent of his patience, by all means, justice should prevail, but that’s do reason to jump off the cliff
The Guardian reported in 22 on what came out of the investigation.
I would love for this to be false and one nutso nurse, please send me something credible suggesting it’s wrong, if you can. It’s fucking sickening to imagine it’s true, so I’m very happy to change my mind if there’s evidence supporting it.
Thanks for the follow up, it does look like something horrible happened. This follow up is much more informative than the three year old allegations, and skips the hyperbole of comparing it to eugenics. I would love to be able to call it false but it looks like at least better reporting, plus the investigation did go somewhere, even if it only ended the contract
