Ya, what about those Illinois NAZIs

So this is there plan around releasing the footage. Expect most people to not watch it and gaslight about it?

Strategies used here:

• Gaslighting
• Firehose of Falsehoods

This is textbook gaslighting right?

Is he not aware he’s gonna be gassed with the other browns?

(G)aslight (O)bject (P)roject and DARVO describes their behavior to a T.

Or even better, ban prescription drug ads like nearly every other country (only the U.S. and New Zealand allow it).

Makes a lot of sense, I think I read that study some time ago. I do want to be clear that I’m not calling all conservatives psychopaths. The psychopaths are the ones in government and executive positions.

Run of the mill conservatives are probably deficient in the ways you describe and likely abuse victims (the one I knew well was in fact) which manifests as fear, hate, gullibility, desire for retribution, etc. Many are also just victims of propaganda, stuck, or too unintelligent to find their own way so follow some strong personality around them.

Ah the Adams Python Conjecture

Let’s see, on one side you have conventional medicine, where doctors where doing lobotomies as recently as the late 1960s, the Sackler family who just recently pretty much literally got millions addicted to opiates and are using corporate law to shield them, while other corporations operating within the realms of conventional medicine are selling them drugs to help them shit (opiates make you constipated). Doctors tell kids they are hyper and need meth because they can’t sit still and quietly learn to become a capitalist slave.

I don’t know that conventional medicine is in a place where they can claim the moral high ground. For every BS chiropractor there are 500 BS pharmaceutical reps or paid off doctors/scientists raking in millions. Have you not seen TV lately? Are those drug ads all noble and the chiropractor is the only bad guy?

There are so many more examples of the fucked up nature of conventional medicine but somebody’s gotta smoke that pile of weed next to me.

I want to be clear - the theoretical foundations for chiropractic are BS, but some of the treatments may indeed be helpful, homeopathy is BS 100%.

Yes, a vote is an active choice that reflects on you as a human being My vote is a reflection of my wish to minimize the harm done while I work to change the world outside of electoral politics. My vote does not express my wishes. Not voting because I think Biden is supporting genocide when the other option is just as bad or worse I feel would reflect my desire to absolve myself of guilt above all.

I know you think I’m a Biden loving neo-lib that wants Demcrats in power. I hate Biden, I hate Democrats. I have no fantasy that Democrats are going to solve any real problems. But you know who I hate more? And who will also not solve any real problems and in fact will almost certainly make many problems much worse? And also who will make my actual desire to change the world via activism and mutual aid more difficult and risky?

Trump.

I vote for Biden because that is a vote against Trump, not because I support Biden.

We should be on the same team, the team with empathy that wants to make the world a better place – and we should fight the other side, the side with little empathy that wants to exploit others for gain.

100%

I’m trying to get a dunce to understand that no genocide isn’t the default when you forfeit your vote.

Paying money to get nothing and still have the original problem is not the inexpensive option though.

But a person can indeed fix their car effectively, and sometimes a chiropractor can help.

My mom had an issue in her shoulder that caused her to literally sob in pain and went to various regular doctors for about a year (it was a while ago so unsure of the exact timeframes). Those doctors gave her steroids which helped the pain but ultimately exacerbated the problem. She went to PT with limited success and was about to have surgery when she decided to try a chiropractor. Note that throughout this, affordability was not a concern. The first treatment helped significantly and several more treatments essentially resolved the issue whatever it was.

The foundations of chiropractic are indeed BS, but that doesn’t imply that any action taken by a chiropractor is inherently unsound. Regular medicine has a history of being wrong, it’s unlikely that in 2023 we figured it all out 100% and anything of any use is part of standard medicine.

I’m secure in my knowledge that my ideology isn’t so radical I shoot myself in the foot.

Harvard acting shitty? Say it ain’t so!

Harvard is not a great educational institution, it’s amongst other things primarily a signalling and filtering mechanism that signals willingness to do what it takes to be a part of the ruling class. It’s part of a filtering system helping to ensure only psychopaths make it to the top.

I use the words “psychopath” and “sadist” often because I’m trying to push the idea that right wingers are not good people that made a few mistakes, or good people that have equally valid but different opinions. They are either victims of lies, or are actually bad people (bad because their mode of operation is to harm or be willing to harm others for gain) and we cannot expect to change them, therefore to make the world a better place, we should stop wasting energy trying to change a psychopath’s opinion and instead recognize the danger and act appropriately to protect ourselves.

Ok, and I’m saying by not participating you’re effectively choosing not only genocide but fascism. As Rush says
