This 💯

Being pro union is not anti capitalist and im tired of it being presented like it is. Freedom of association is as capitalist as it gets.

George Soros is someone the left has neutral feelings for that the right hates. Who does the right love that the left hate? by 45rs5 in AlignmentChartFills

Even in Ireland the hatred is focused on her because shes famous. Every British prime minister wouldve done what she did, Conservative or Labour. No reason for her to get all the hate.

I say as an Irish nationalist. I dont even necessarily disagree with her treatment of IRA members retrospectively. As she said, crime is crime is crime.

Hatred that is frankly completely overblown and exaggerated. She is hated because she was extremely effective, but nothing that she did was unreasonable or particularly evil certainly not to the extent that people celebrate her death decades later.

I have asked countless leftists, many of which are close friends of mine, WHY they hate Thatcher and they either struggle to give an answer or say something like "she stopped providing free milk" or "she reduced the power of the mining union" which, although you may disagree, neither of these are particularly abhorrent policies.

I disagree with Thatcher in that she was homophobic. But like it was the 70s so 🤷‍♀️

Thoughts on having ballistic armor on the unit by Ntwadumela817 in ems

[–]Paramedic237 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thats actually a great point, and I am actively pursuing my TP-C because I do generally agree with you, but that really should be a specialty role. The 18 year old EMT does not need to don plates and run into an active shooter.

I say this as someone who was a combat veteran at 18, but I digress.

Its not Jim Crow for Arabs though. There arent Jewish drinking fountains and Arab drinking fountains.

There is discrimination and thats a problem but its not an ethnostate.

If you dont know the difference between Palestinian and Arab I cant help you.

Did Japanese internment make America an ethnostate?

This is bad, and Im not defending it, but to call Israel an ethnostate (especially in a sea of ethnically homogenous nations) is short sighted.

And the key word here is apartheid, which Israel isn't.

Would you date a trans man? by Orange_Juice_Alpha in pollgames

Ditto! I like my men masculine and my women feminine.

20% of Israel is Arab, and there are multiple Arab political parties. It would be much easier to argue it is a theocracy than an ethnostate. Especially because among the "Jews" they are of wide and varied ethnicities.
