Maybe we can compromise and say that you have to attend 4 hours of free cooking classes every month to receive your free insulin for the month?

"Try not being so fat, you fucking fatties" is a reaction I have heard from people who are themselves overweight. It's genuinely maddening to see how many Americans are sold on the most superficial understanding of "healthy" as "fuckable" rather than "capable and resilient".
So much of the Trump attitude towards health seems to be geared towards eugenics against old ugly poors.
Reminded of Rush Limbaugh going on a week long rage over "having to carry water for John McCain", after dude was doing acrobatics to suck Lil' John's dick in the run up to the election. But after day seven, he was right back on that hog, because that's what a guy like Limbaugh is paid to do.
I suspect Jones will fall into his late Bush-Era generic conspiracy-laden libertarian skeptic persona until Trump can find a way to get poll numbers back up near parity again. Dude's a coward who will move wherever the political winds blow him.
it’s filled with Ukrainians who aren’t letting them.
Well... it's filled with NATO arms and munitions, and a fair number of mercenary companies and "volunteers" from over the border who are ahem advising what's left of the Ukrainian armed forces on how to fight back. But given the degree to which involuntarily conscription is needed to keep both Ukrainians and Russians on the front lines, this is nothing if not a rich man's war.
Willingness for peace would be going home.
It's crazy how often I've seen this with regard to Russia invading Ukraine. But not once from the US invading Iraq/Afghanistan. Or England's occupation of Ireland. Or the Israeli presence in Palestine.
Western Chauvinism is butting up against Eastern Chauvinism. But, as usual, its the proles who pay the price.
The worst consequence for saying something that’s bound to piss people off is just that, pissed off people.
There was a real moment during which celebrity reactionaries feared The R-Word would result in the kind of deplatforming and loss of advertising patronage historically reserved for The N-Word or any of the Seven Words You Can't Say On TV (which, curiously, did not include the N-Word at the time).
So the worst consequences wouldn't have simply been "pissed off people". Perhaps they'd have endured lawsuits, de-platforming, or even vigilante violence (not uncommon in religiously-tinged censorship - like with the Piss Christ display or the Draw Mohammad contest).
You never faced jail time and I can’t think of anyone “canceled” for it.
Not when the current regime is friendly to your operation, no.
But if you look at what's happening to pro-Palestinian activists and Women's Liberation organizations, it's obvious that state and civil institutions have lots of tools for fucking people over based entirely on their stated political views. The real defense that Rogan, et al enjoy is having their friends in charge.
Abolish Gender! No more gender! Mankind was never meant to enjoy diversity, much less define it within themselves. We are commodities. Human capital. We exist to be consumed. Why are these disgusting freaks and perverts coming in here and trying to treat people as autonomous, self-defined, agents of our own sociological change? Why do we keep treating people as more than cogs in a machine?!
Get in the box and do the work. Make me the money. Stop self-actualizing! Stop pursuing self-improvement! Stop inventing your own identities and cultures! STOP HAVING GENDER!
