Nothing like having a bunch of random strangers on the internet supposedly have your back on issues minorities face, just to turn around and express empathy for the people directly causing the harm. Lmao.

I wish I could actively see the threads some of these posters participate in. See where they really stand. Drive by "get well" posts are fucking trash.
I think a lot of people here haven't taken the time to think of who Ron Paul REALLY is, besides being some cooky old politician. It's not equivalent in their mind of saying.."GET WELL SOON TRUMP!"
I am sure they meant no ill will to anyone here.
Perhaps I am wrong. I don't know.

Lol yeah, of course he'd be mid sentence in some dumb free market bullshit.
And he'll probably be back to spewing poison and arguing for the denial of health services to the poor, same ones that benefited him. That fucking racist asshole.
sure those people hate you for existing but you gotta be nice online!
So he's fine?
And he will continue to be an unabashed sexist and racist?
And he had well wishers?
Here?
And those well wishers dog pilled people who didn't care about what happened to this stain on humanity?
Huh...
Maybe stop showing so much empathy towards assholes?

The number one thing is to call 911 and get them an ambulance as fast as humanly possible. Time is everything with a stroke.
Monitor them until help arrives, keep them calm (they may be disoriented or combative), and stop them from moving around.
That's what I learned from House, FAST: Face, Arms, Speech, Time
Lol thanks for the laugh.Me (entering thread): Oh wow, this sounds crazy, I wonder what everyone is say-
Exactly - and the first three are all about identifying a stroke quickly, because waiting to see if the victim comes around on their own is the biggest mistake one can make.
"I don't care that Ron Paul had a stroke" is not actively wishing for people to die in horrible ways. What, is the act of not well-wishing an active attempt to worsen their health or what?
Like that's such a ridiculous argument, one where you either didn't read their post or read what you wanted from it.
It doesn't matter what your intent is. It matters what effects your actions have.
Like, people here can understand the silliness of "thoughts and prayers" coupled with inaction after a mass tragedy, that just because someone means well for victims doesn't mean they actually performed a helpful deed. Correct?
I posit then that rushing past minorities to wish their ailing oppressors well simply because the act of wishing someone- anyone- well, makes you feel fuzzy inside, and a fuzzy feeling MUST automatically mean you're a good person, is the left-leaning version of "thoughts and prayers."
It does literally nothing.
Fucking scary. Something horrible happening to someone is bad enough but when its their brain that is at risk... jesus christ.
User Banned (Permanent): Minimizing and downplaying Ron Paul's well-documented racism over a series of posts. Previous bans for dismissing racism and misogyny.
Say what you want about Paul but he was one of the few American politicians who had consistently given a shit about the millions of brown people the US had killed in the middle east. Unlike say Biden who authorized and advocated for all of it.
The hate for him by some here seems misdirected to be honest.

The good thing for him is that he was live, on stage, in studio. He's surrounded by people and producers who would have immediately called for an ambulance within seconds of this happening. He'll be rushed to a hospital and will have a higher chance of recovering because of that.
This. The video is horrific. It will be hard to watch. But everybody should watch so that they can see first hand and learn what some of the symptoms of a stroke look like so that should the situation happen that they are prepared and know that they need to call the emergency line when they see it.

Let me get this fucking straight.
You came in here. Saw the myriad posts explaining the harmful policies this asshole has enacted on Black people, other minorities, and the poor. And you still decided to stan? "Say what you want about Paul?" That was what you typed?
GTFOH.
ron paul is a racist shithead who only spent his entire career trying to gut social services and legal protections for literally anyone who isn't a straight white man and his opposition to the military industrial complex had fuck all to do with the lives of brown people, the only thing he ever gave a shit about was trying to lower taxes and moving to the gold standard because in addition to being actively malicious he's also an idiot.
Well he and his son don't give too much of a shit about the brown and black people living in this country.
Ron Paul and his son are racist pieces of shit.
Fuck both of them
What harmful policies has he actually enacted? He was an immensely ineffective legislator that essentially got nothing done when he was in congress. I'm aware that he's an extreme libertarian that believes in removing government from essentially everything, but when reflecting on his legacy and what he actually accomplished as a presidential candidate, politician, etc., it was primarily bringing to the forefront the truth about America's imperialistic foreign policy and the harm that it does in the world. In a world of Republicans that all parrot the same neocon talking points he offered some alternative.
To be fair he definitely wants to gut social services for every single person because again he's an extreme libertarian. These types of libertarians oppose government for purely moralistic reasons (ie taxation is theft). Trust me I've had many debates with these particular types of libertarians, they literally don't believe that the government should be permitted to do anything without the express consent of the individual. It's wildly utopian, ideological, naive, and stupid, but it's not primarily race based.
watching the people on the first page WISHING him well and shit LMFAOOO the level of posturing from users who supposedly call themselves allies of minorities knowing what he's done.
To be clear, are you suggesting that not wishing someone well is wishing someone harm?
No one in this thread has wished for Ron Paul's death or admonished people for not. You're inventing someone to get mad at.
Damn, I watched this while being super high, and it gave me the weirdest feelings. Scary. Fascinating too.
Wow. After watching it, I was expected something...I don't know, worse? Different?
I'm not sure I would have recognized a stroke for what it was if not for seeing this.

ITT: I learned Ron Paul stans still exist. Fucking hell, feel like I stepped back in time to 2007 or something...
Jesus... That was uncomfortable to watch. Hopefully the guy is okay and doctors were able to minimize the damage.Careful, here is a link
For the record, not a Paul supporter. I just have family who've suffered strokes.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Even if he is an asshole, that sort of comment doesnt belong here. Not the right place or time.
It's embarrassing.watching the people on the first page WISHING him well and shit LMFAOOO the level of posturing from users who supposedly call themselves allies of minorities knowing what he's done.
they must have used up all their empathy on the folks that ron paul has spent his entire political career trying to hurt.....
What kind of comment doesn't belong here?
They could go "Ok...... Anyway, about that Patriots game in a few days."
Conveys the same; apathy if not disdain.
Ron Paul is the topic, why wouldn't comments about why people don't like him and are entirely indifferent to his medical status not belong?
And what, exactly, makes you the judge on what is the right place or time?
