How is "delay, deny, depose" not a threat with current events? C'mon, that's disingenuous.
It really is not, it doesn't say that she will do the violence, merely that it may occur. It's the same as the difference between 'I will kill you!' and 'I hope you die!'
Lets say it is (it isn't), why don't you have the same kind of energy towards the people who have coined it as a tactic to deny people their healthcare and have taken thousands if not millions of lives as a result, and destroyed millions more, as you do for their victim who is turning their own phrase (so without the system to implement it like they do) back on them?
It's because the taste of boot is just too appealing to some, and you can't help but fight in your oppressors corner, defending them, as if one day they'll notice you and be grateful for your loyalty and take you in and treat you like one of their own (or at least come for those not licking boot before they come for you). Your indoctrinated brain might be telling you you're acting in your own best interest, but by doing it at the expense of your fellow working class people, you are exclusively serving those in power.
Why are you making any assumptions about what energy I have? I'm not defending health insurance here, mate.
Because it’s a fucking book title.
Almost a book title
Yeah, that's why everybody's been saying those words lately, because of a book that came out 14 years ago, and definitely not because of anything more recent and more notable. Right.
