Nina spitting truths as always. She’s on fire recently, so follow her if you’re not doing so already.

To be clear; everyone working in my government, particularly after today, is a Nazi, or someone who works for Nazis. Do you know what we call people who worked for the Nazis, in the Nazi government? Yes, that is correct, Nazis.

So Machado is certainly not gonna feel lonely on the list of people on my TV who are definitely Nazis.

Oh, was that too harsh? Are you feeling bad for the good career civil servants, working for the literal fucking Nazis, who I have just impuned? Cool, let’s refer back to that part where I said I was surrounded by people who openly recognize that this is fascism, and ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY refuse to accept what that actually means.

We call people, who worked for the Nazi Party, in the Nazi government, Nazis. Nobody says “the Nazi government and the career civil servants who hated them but stayed.”

“They’ll just find someone else.”

Then let them. “I took the job at the concentration camp because I was sure Hitler would find someone else” was not a good defense in court last time, and it won’t be this time either.

    Go ahead explain to me how a park service maintenance worker scrubbing a toilet is propping up the regime.

      have all the sanitation workers walkout and we’ll see how quickly a regime with clogged toilets (among others) survives.

        They’d just put up an out of order sign or close the park. Doesn’t effect the regime and only harms the public

          Harming the public helps the resistance, by turning the public against the oppressive regime. Just like the oppressive regime shooting an innocent woman in the head helps the resistance by turning the public against the oppressive regime.

            Unfortunately I don’t have that much faith in my fellow citizens anymore.

            I don’t think anything is going to change until many begin starving. Hope I’m wrong though

                The increase has been sharpest at nursing homes and long-term care facilities

                Right so elderly abuse isn’t what I meant and you know that right?

                  It’s the most vulnerable group which is also kind of “observed” so it’s where it starts/it is first noticed.

                    Right I’m clearly talking about economic times becoming so bad the average person begins to starve.

                    Your data points to either increase of abuse in care facilities or simply the result of a rapidly aging population. You can’t tell which it is either because it doesn’t provide the data but instead percentage increases. Which overall is a worthless metric. 5 to 15 is a 200% increase, but not helpful. Hell just this year I had an elderly family member die after refusing to eat. Despite the best efforts of the family and doctors she just wouldn’t eat. Instead of force feeding her they let her pass peacefully.

                    Considering we saw increases in care facilities and the rapidly aging population your data tells me very little.

                    To be clear my point was about famine. Not about isolated cases of abuse or cases where people did not access available care or sources. Either due to unwillingness or being missed. These are obviously problems, but not the type I was discussing
