Good lord, you’re telling me this is different somewhere else?

It would be far better to say that it is different everywhere else. We do have our problems with lack of beds and waiting lists.

As for the SJW-types, with as much as the word gets used now, it’s really a proxy for the basic set of Marxist thought. And Marxist thinking is, itself, simply an outcropping of a specifically anti-Christian constructed theology. This is why the people are intolerable (in personality) and utterly intolerant (in their actions). To reject Christianity from within a previously very Christian culture requires one reject the core of Christian “being”.

Galatians 5:16-25 (ESV):

“16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”

So the SJW has to reject the Fruit of the Spirit and bask in the Flesh. But most of those are educated enough that the glaring error in the logic is incredibly obvious. Which is why they lash out, rationalize and destroy those that call their entire being into question simply by living properly. There’s a reason we’re to expect to be hated by the World.

Actually, re-reading verses 19-21 again, that’s practically *all* those people want to do. Truly, nothing is new under the Sun.

But… and it is a big, honking but… most of my colleagues know I’m a right wing Fundie and like me and work with me. Just as I know that they have just had their partner break up with them… and expressed sympathy for the suck, regardless of if the partner was a bloke or sheila.

The biggest problem with the SJW trolls is that they get rid of the basic human decency that allows us to work with those who have parts of their life we vehemently disagree with… but with whom we can work for this project, or to achieve this goal.

As if a country is the map, or psychopathology follows an ideology.

Then point out to them which of the classic psychological avoidance techniques they’re using. (You’d, hopefully, be quite more skilled at that than I am.)
