Do right-wing people take for granted things fought for by the left?

I didn't write this story but I wish I had: 😂

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF NOB, RIGHTWING BREXIT BRIT.

Nob gets up at 6am, and fills his kettle with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and reasonably drinkable because some tree-hugging leftie fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily pills. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie leftie fought to ensure their safety and that they work as prescribed.

All of his healthcare is free because some Labour leftie created a thing called the NHS - now Nob can use it as and when needed.

Nob prepares his morning breakfast; bacon and eggs. Nob's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man leftie fought for laws to regulate the meat industry.

During his morning shower, Nob reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labelled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby foreigner-loving leftie fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Nob can read the container because some mardy leftie thought it would be a good idea to send Nob to school at the age of 5 instead of work.

Nob dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath.The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist lefties fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.

Nob begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, sick pay, pension and paid holidays because some lazy leftie union members fought and died for these working standards. Nob's employer pays these standards because Nob's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.

If Nob is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get compensation and unemployment benefits because some stupid lazy leftie didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

Nob is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his old home. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some job-hating leftie fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home.

Nob is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on benefits and a union pension because some champagne-drinking, cheese-eating leftie made sure he could take care of himself so Nob wouldn't have to.

Nob gets back in his car for the journey home, and turns on a BBC talk show. The radio host keeps saying that Lefties like Keir Starmer are bad and the Conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Tories have fought against every protection and benefit Nob enjoys throughout his day. Nob agrees: "We don't need those big-government, Euro-loving lefties ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."

So you call brexiteers nobs?

That is racist.

I am sure some of the parents of the kids you teach would appreciate you calling the majority of English people nobs.
Racist

Typical democrat leaves out the important stuff
@curiousorfantasy Okay, can you tell me where race factors into [b]that[/b] definition ?
curiousorfantasy · 46-50, M
@bijouxbroussard your comment doesn't warrant a reply
@curiousorfantasy But you called him a [b]racist[/b]. So I’m asking, based upon [b]what[/b] ? Nothing you‘ve said indicates it’s a [b]racial[/b] slur.
@curiousorfantasy So basically you’re libeling (or slandering) the OP and not willing to explain why.

@bijouxbroussard A nob means dickhead in English. He called white working class people dickheads. you don't know what you are talking about. You purposefully left the first part of the definition of "nob" and I called you out.

Now you are making a feeble attempt to cover yourself.

@curiousorfantasy He was very happy to call Trump a racist
@curiousorfantasy I don’t believe anything you’re saying. You’re a liar.
curiousorfantasy · 46-50, M
@bijouxbroussard No I am telling the truth and you are an idiot

@curiousorfantasy The fucking stupidy never ceases to amaze me with some people. 😂

@curiousorfantasy Lol. Nob is a lower middle class archetype. I haven't called him racist but well done for such assertive shitposting. 🤣

@curiousorfantasy I can't believe you're a grown adult arguing to a black woman that a white British man using the word 'nob' is somehow racist against other Britons.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read in my adult life. Your desperate need to be oppressed is pathetic. Grow up.
@curiousorfantasy Nope, you had the opportunity to explain what you meant and chose to be a jerk about it. I don’t believe anything you say, now.
curiousorfantasy · 46-50, M
@CountScrofula How do you know I am white and what has race got to do with it. He insulted white working class people . His bubble mentality can't comprehend us poor black folk voted brexit also.
curiousorfantasy · 46-50, M
@bijouxbroussard As I said typical democrat
@curiousorfantasy Donald Trump [b]is[/b] a racist, and has been for decades, since the days he was sued for redlining black tenants and refusing to rent to them. I’m not asking about that. I asked why you said “nob” was racist, and honestly didn’t know.
curiousorfantasy · 46-50, M
@bijouxbroussard How woukld you feel if someone called all black people who voted for Trump dickheads. Do you think that is acceptable?
@curiousorfantasy There is nothing “typical” about Democrats in my country. There are conservatives, moderates and liberals.
curiousorfantasy · 46-50, M
And Harris treated black people well.
@curiousorfantasy What are you talking about ?
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@bijouxbroussard I dont block many but this guy is an obvious troll. He is not worth it.

@CountScrofula You are spot on

Hey, I’ve called them worse—and to their faces. Believe it.
