When I tried to show some older whites the video, it hit too close to home, as they're a step away from nursing home age. There's real fear as to becoming helpless.

A key for those who must have grandma in a home is to visit frequently, always coming unnanounced. See if they have a real-time video feed available.

I don't wish this on anyone, but a lot these older whites spent their lives voting - either explicitly or implicitly with the money or lack of interest - for exactly the alienated, materialist society that has them end their lives in an institution with no family around getting smacked around by 65 IQ orcs. For a lot of them, this is reaping what they've sown frankly. Hope that housing boom was worth it.

Hoping for karma is human

They (old white people)totally fear retribution and they know they are too weak to be able to fight back. Older white people please, please have home healthcare instead of a nursing home. Nursing homes are nothing more than warehouses hoping they will die soon. I would NOT put my dog in one tortureous institutions!!!!!!

Another pro-tip: Ask the other residents what life is like there. They're probably lonely so they'll appreciate the chat, and even if they don't want to risk badmouthing the staff you'll be able to tell pretty quick if they're actually happy or not.

must

One will find that most 'musts' in life are just a matter of priority.

Two areas that I hear 'must' on, but I find unforgivable:

- Putting parents in a nursing institution vs becoming a caregiver.

- Putting kids in public school institution vs becoming a teacher.

90+% of the time it boils down to selfishness. Choices are made (sometimes years before) that make dumping your loved ones on soulless institutions a 'must'. Life style expense forces two jobs. Divorce results in single parenting.

Or, it's simply too much work to take care of your own. Often, all involved refuse to be decent humans and make it almost impossible to have multi-generational housing.

I'll excuse the % of people with who have a spouse get cancer and die so they are a single parent. Or similar situations. But, those are pretty rare all things considered.

Otherwise, I have so little respect for people who put their parents / kids in the institutions and then wonder why things are so screwed up around them.

Sorry / end rant.

FUCKING THANK YOU!! I was going to say to these niggers "pro tip care for your loved ones and older relatives yourself, don't set a shit example for your own kids." You shouldn't leave your kids alone with total strangers and often times elderly folk are just as vulnerable. If not its even worse because often they're completely aware of what's being done to them. They don't pay care takers enough to give a shit and often times they hire teenagers. Grandma would be much safer at home supervised by a dog than at one of these places. And that's not even adding niggers in.

We live in an strange time in human history. For all of human history, except right now:

The standard household was 3 generations. Parents worked. Grandparents cared for the young kids. And, as the kids grew, they would in turn care for the grandparents.

(Oh, and by necessity, divorce rates were low.)

Then, we as a society became very prosperous. And, we were sold the lie of the "nuclear family". That a healthy family didn't need grandparents. (And, grandparents, didn't need us.)

In the rest of the world (besides western EU and English speaking countries), it is still the norm to have 3 generations in one house. IMHO, it is only a matter of time before we return to this norm.

The good news is that insurance companies are pushing for the elderly infirm to get their care in home, with caregivers visiting, living with them. Eastern European women can be good for that

Old white liberals need to see these videos. Maybe then they will understand why the affirmative

action and race baiting policies they've been voting for their entire lives were a disaster.

greenfrog ago

No, old white liberals won’t realize it until they are getting punched in the head, which is less likely to happen because their lives are fashioned around avoiding diversity while they scream all about its benefits.

I see no point in saving old neoliberals.
