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

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

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."

Here's another story, an American Tale!

The water is clean and reasonably drinkable -

Cuz reasonably drinkable is what the left shoots for.
Of course, you gotta pay mightily for it.
Don't even THINK of collection rain water - against several regulations!
BTW, it's illegal to water outdoor plants.
And, you know that puddle at the end of driveway every time it rains? It's been declared a federal waterway - you need to pay to drive through it.

he takes his daily pills -

Fresh from China! What could possibly go wrong? There's no new advances in medications cuz there's no benefit to pharmaceutical companies, but hey your anti-cancer aspirin is totally free - at least until your case has been reviewed by the death panel! Well, they don't call it that - but THEY decide whether or not you receive any treatment or just,... you know, end of life counseling. But hey - you don't have to pay for it! Totally free - until you die. Then there's the death taxes. But lucky you - you're already dead!

Breakfast bacon and eggs? Nuthin better than government bacon! Hardly any actual meat, but goes well with government powdered eggs. Everyone is allotted 17 bags of powdered eggs every month - as long as they're not on restriction again. And you can get as much government bacon as you want - cuz no one wants it!

Ahh - the shampoo - it's the one, the only one on the shelf anymore with the generic label. You may have discovered that while it doesn't clean hair very well - it's pretty good at removing rust!

YEah, we go to government schools at the age of five. We start indoctrinating the kids young. Some of the kids actually qualify for graduation. Those that don't - well, they get to graduate too cuz it would be mean to insist that everyone pass the tests!

Smell that fresh air! Remember how the smog cleared in LA when everything closed cuz of covid? Well, since government has regulated everything out of business everywhere - the air is crystal clear!

The car I drive home hasn't been invented yet, so I gotta walk to and from work. I used to ride my bicycle, but license fees got so expensive - I was going to sell the bike - but I'm not registered as a bicycle vendor. I can't dispose of it either - need a special permit - and that is NOT free.

IN fact anything you actually want to do isn't free. The crappy bacon and powdered eggs and aspirin bit that's about it.

I'm not supposed to be talking about all this 0 so mum's the word, OK? I don't want to be tagged as 'unccoperative'. Lenny, my neighbor got tagged 6 months ago - we haven't seen him since.
