To put it another way, it's been said that comedians should punch "up" (i.e. make fun of those in power) and not punch "down."
From what I see what happens to people that have the audacity to not cave to their demands completely and immediately that are victims of persecution.
Governments, NGO, academia, media and big corporations are outwokking each other on the issue.
I prefer dave to jessica yaniv...
I get it's very en vogue to say marginalized communities secretly control society (Jewish marxist globalists etc) but don't you think we'd have secured equal treatment under the law first? If society is suddenly caving to any and all of my capricious whims I certainly didn't get the memo
What? Where? And how? "At will" is one thing, but being fired purely because of how you identify? What?
> I can be legally denied healthcare treatment.
Wait, what? Are you talking about about all healthcare, specific procedures, or what? As far as I know, an ER can't refuse to provide healthcare treatment so you must be referring to specific things and not the general umbrella of "healthcare".
Legitimate, sincere questions- I honestly don't know anything about anything.
If you really didn’t know this, you might seriously consider whether you have anything to add to this kind of discussion.
The healthcare issue is more complex. Here’s a useful summary: https://www.hrw.org/report/2018/07/23/you-dont-want-second-b...
Two things here:
1) Being snarky with someone asking a sincere question is a wonderful way to alienate them and leave a bad taste in their mouth regarding the topic at hand.
2) The parent said they "can be fired", not "until over a year ago, I could have been fired". They were asserting that this is the current state of affairs, which it isn't, so I asked a sincere question about it. If asking questions to clarify a statement doesn't "add to the discussion", clearly I was taught how to have a conversation incorrectly. But I, and most rational people, don't think that's accurate. So, y'know, maybe take your own advice and consider what your comment brings to the table instead of trying to dunk on people.
As for healthcare, I appreciate the link. It confirms what I was wondering, which is that the parent's comment only applies to specific, specialty services and not the general umbrella of "healthcare".
