I absolutely agree with you on that. Although I see many of them are choosing to be super stubborn about it again spreading the ‘vote blue no matter who’ bullshit again. Already, before the primaries. I am so exhausted over it already.
There is a lack of class analysis among normal American citizens because of the work of the three branches of the U.S. government and state. The state actually works with mainstream news platforms, so they are at fault for that in particular. What you have just explained is exactly the work of both these things. However, there are a lot of academics such as Michael Parenti (who unfortunately died recently) who have talked about this extensively for many decades, and there are many left political commentary from from leftist creators online such as Kyle Kulinksi on YouTube. Many people are having the conversations, it’s just whether or not the other people are willing to let go of the narrative they been fed this whole time to have us moving in the right direction at a faster rate.
Generally speaking, no. However, depending on the hospital in question and their policies, there are hospitals who will waive the cost if you are a victim of a crime. I happen to know this because there is a local hospital near me that do exactly this. Some other hospitals-- again depending on the individual hospital-- have programs where they can assist (or at least help somehow) with the cost for patients who are unable to foot the bill due of a lack of resources. But that is not every hospital, and more than likely you will be expected to foot the bill no matter what.
I assure you that many Americans realized that we live in plutocracy as far as ten years ago starting with Trump’s first presidency. I think what many people in general are not aware of is that there is a difference between government and state, that they are separate, and the state protects class interests (aka the Epstein/pedo class). Unless of course some one in government decides to go against their interests. Which is why sudden deaths and assassinations happen at all. Congressmen in our government can absolutely try to get Bondi arrested and tried, but the state could and will try to protect her unless Trump decides otherwise or the state still finds her useful.
I actually use both, depending on the context of the conversation and the people I am speaking with. I do this partially because I understand we are one of three Americas. If I am speaking to someone who isn’t a U.S. citizen, I’ll say U.S. But to other U.S. citizens, I’ll say America because we know the implied meaning when we say it.
That’s a sin.
I am more appalled that they think many of us older gen people actually experienced the “good ol days.” When do they even think that is? Lmao Nobody else outside their generation has ever experienced these same troubles ever?
