Comment on Paid Leave Olympics
aidan@lemmy.world 3 months agoSorry, insulting me will not make your lie true.
I’m not insulting you. I am describing the effect you are having on me. You are victimizing me through you’re bullying.
You accused me of lying. That is insulting me.
Probably because if you had named an actual country and an actual disorder, I could look it up and find out how much, if anything, it costs to treat in that country vs. the U.S.
I said a long time ago I don’t know the name of the condition.
(including travel costs and hotel while you’re staying there).
She doesn’t stay in a hotel she stays with her daughter’s family.
And your whole point was that, supposedly, people have to come to the U.S. for treatment since they can’t afford it in their country with universal healthcare.
I never said she can’t afford it, she can. The treatment is not provided to her. And the treatment that is provided is low quality.
It’s not just a lie, it’s an extremely silly and transparent lie.
So what does it mean since its the truth? That your hatred and mistrust of others who were just trying to have a calm discussion is misplaced?
But please, go on with your insults and claims of bullying. It won’t make your lie true.
Again not a lie. Actually, please, search my whole profile. Find somewhere that I have lied.

Sorry, accusing someone of lying is not an insult if they’re lying, which they are.
Then you have no idea if they could have gotten treated in their home country or how much it would cost, despite claiming this was an argument in favor of a for-profit medical system, making what you said… a lie.
Making her a major outlier, which would, again, make your argument that there is a benefit to a for-profit medical system… a lie.
And this in itself is a lie. You don’t know what’s wrong with her so you could not possibly know about the quality of treatment.
It isn’t.
I already did. See above.

You know what’s ironic. You correctly identified that its an insult when its not true before.

You actually said: “Telling me I invented my daughter to excuse genocide is clearly harassing me.”
(Note I agreed with you and removed the comment)
I do not want to block you, because I am a moderator of a community and I think being able to communicate with everyone who engages in that community is vital- but nearly every interaction I’ve had with you you’ve been hostile and bordering threatening to me. Do you want to introduce ourselves in private messages or something- to help you see the human behind the keyboard rather than you viewing everyone(or maybe just me, I don’t know) as a target to practice your written attack on? Try to consider how you would feel in my situation, if you were telling the truth(as I am).
I’m sorry I trusted her family members who have been caring for her full time(in shifts) for years. I should’ve accused them of lying. I should’ve told them to put her back into the hospital where they didn’t empty her chamberpot for a week and it was almost overflowing, and where they would only give her food she couldn’t eat.
What? I said what my experience and my families experience with single-payer healthcare has been. I never claimed to be able to speak for other peoples experiences. Also, when it comes to lives, outliers matter. Plane crashes are outliers, but still matter.
Because her daughter has been having to deal with her treatment for years now?
Yeah let me say you made up your daughter then(I don’t believe you did). But see how ridiculous this is.

If you want to block me, I could not care less.
And if you want to call me a liar, I could also not care less.
See how that works?

Why did you care before enough to call it harassment?
