MODERATORS
Classic case of American honour killing their own family member.
I'm murdering many children, including mine*
I have more disdain for these types than regular rank and file conservatives
Same dude... They carry such an aura of superiority because they are pretending to criticize their ideology, but only after that ideology has proven to have a negative impact on them.
And they'll still march in lockstep with all the other brownshirts and vote for their candidate without fail every election, even while things actively collapse around them because their party. They'll still refuse to look for any alternatives beyond the "make everyone worse for everyone(except the ultra rich)" party.
And the criticism is in terms we explicity warned them about and they spent a century explicitly telling us to fuck off and die
"I voted against my child's health: why you should empathize with my selfishness"
Excuse me for a moment.
clears throat and positions myself directly in front of the author
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
The author reaping: 
The author sowing: 
"I voted for Aktion T4 for other people, not me!"
I have no jokes.
You put your own emotional needs over your own kid. Fuck you, you’re a horrible parent.
Next time, hire yourself a self-esteem coach and never ever vote. Maybe if we pass universal healthcare, you can get the government you want: your personal self-esteem coach as we fund mental health services.
This is not discovering empathy, it is just selfishness framed in the language of empathy. It is not advocacy for social programs, it is using the language of communal sharing to complain the he isn't getting the benefits of it. It's not like he's going to actually do anything to restore Medicaid in his state. He's just going to get press for himself and maybe plug a GoFundMe.
Of course his child doesn't deserve any of this, but it's important to understand that reactionaries build their views around self-interested wish fulfillment (including scapegoats to massage their egos).
I think it's useful for some people to understand that communal sharing and collective action are in our rational self-interest.
But, this person isn't really doing that. He will learn absolutely nothing from this and will not apply it to anything else, ever.
“Individualists” have a real bad habit of being more collectivist than even us godless commies.
What is hierarchy but the ultimate display of collectivism? You have your haves that lay around and sniff their own farts and get to enjoy endless privilege, and us lowly poo-people have nots who have to suffer and toil for the haves luxury…if you’re lucky enough for the haves to choose you to have you work for them, because the alternative is social murder, and porko’s clucking about “thinning the herd”.
Their individualism is so expansive that it covers everyone as being subordinate to them. The help are mere extensions of the only real people in the world i.e. rich people.
Damn bro it’s like we live in a society or something
“profoundly disabled” holy shit I gotta go take a walk
I believe that's an official category for aid from Social Security.
[Emphasis added by this hexbear:]
Before the passage of the domestic policy law, when you paid your federal taxes, a fraction of your money helped support children like David through Medicaid. This ensured that their lives remained a communal responsibility and collective effort, reinforcing their value. That moral imperative has now disappeared.
Huh? Communal? Collective? But those are forbidden words, aren't they? The fundamental and sacred unit of society is the family unit. Fuck you?
But if this funding need goes unmet, there will be real-world consequences for people like David and me
I guess the consequences weren't "real-world" when they were affecting others, now they're real-world enough to you. Fuck you?
Let me be clear: North Carolina’s Medicaid program is being voluntarily reduced
Yes. You literally voted for it. Fuck you?
How we care for our most vulnerable reveals what we believe about ourselves. I’m just one mother, and David is just one child. But this affects your neighbors. This affects you
Damn, I already knew though. I didn't need the impending doom of my lifestyle to be empathetic towards others and to become militant for their rights. Fuck you?
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you and a million times fuck you. You've been complicit in the murders of millions throughout your life. I feel bad for the child, but the mother fully deserves going through absolute hell right now.
Fuck you?
Suffer like G did?
there will be real-world consequences for people like David and me
So glad there were no real-world consequences of "conservatism" for anyone else
No no, you don't understand, the bad things were only supposed to happen to black people! Her perfect white son isn't one of the designated undesirables!
Fuck these people.
Country full of these people. This place is cooked. There's no social contract. The furniture is being burned for heat.
Huh this article wasn't written by my aunt who has a son in a similar situation as her own health also fails. She has the same attitude, though. Glad to find out there's more like minded people out there!
He and the consequences of his own movement can go fuck themselves
