He saw the problem but had no idea what to do for solutions and the ones society was feeding him (he didn’t come up with that on his own) are bullshit. But society won’t tell you about Baudrillard.

This is something people need to get better at seeing. If we want to reach these people we need to understand what’s happening when they say things like this. We also, ourselves, need to understand this stuff so we can speak intelligently about it. You know the media and powers that be never will.

You’re right, this is very destructive.

Who knows? But they can look like they’re doing something, at least.

Maybe interpol doesn’t know China is straight up kidnapping people of the street in foreign (non-China) countries? Maybe they want to do something about that?

No?

Okay, then. Of course they’re prioritizing someone downloading some jpgs, why would i think differently?

The US is too good at destroying people’s reputation, yeah. This guy is gonna get vilified hard (whether he did it or not).

But if also a cornerstone. (For better and worse–it got and still gets used to excuse people who commit hate crimes, for example.)

It is actually legal. It’s built directly from the laws and kind of a necessary component if you want jury trials to actually work and not just be a kangaroo court. People just don’t like it.

Critically, the elites want this “solved” asap.

Russia fucking sucks but this, at least, is true. (The West sucks too, don’t get me wrong. I ain’t going to Russia but i will use their search engine.)

Technically they didn’t fully rescind it. They rescinded it in some places but not others, and for some patients but not others. It’s just PR, they have no intention of actually changing things.

Elections were the deal. We’d vote for representatives and abide by their decisions rather than, y’know, killing people in the streets to change society.

When elections can’t change society, though. When the deal is broken, it’s back to the old ways.

Well this is going to go extremely poorly.

I would hope he was lying. I can’t imagine he’s so stupid he can’t see.

It’s also not automatically end-to-end encrypted (as i understand it) so it’s possible for those who aren’t tech savvy to set it up wrong.

Sadly, flouridation conspiracy theories predate RFK Jr. by a long, long time.

“I can’t wait for RFK Jr to stop this, he knows all the chemicals!”

Overheard while at the polls on election day.

In 1945, Grand Rapids became the first city in the world to fluoridate its drinking water.The Grand Rapids water fluoridation study was originally sponsored by the U.S. Surgeon General, but was taken over by the NIDR shortly after the Institute’s inception in 1948. During the 15-year project, researchers monitored the rate of tooth decay among Grand Rapids’ almost 30,000 schoolchildren. After just 11 years, Dean- who was now director of the NIDR-announced an amazing finding. The caries rate among Grand Rapids children born after fluoride was added to the water supply dropped more than 60 percent. This finding, considering the thousands of participants in the study, amounted to a giant scientific breakthrough that promised to revolutionize dental care, making tooth decay for the first time in history a preventable disease for most people.

Black people are (still) getting murdered by cops everywhere. What set Minneapolis apart was that they didn’t stand by and watch, they did something about it. Sadly, that isn’t what happened in this story.

My take is Minnesota in general is very divided. There are some very cool people there but also some very horrible ones. The cool ones are winning but that doesn’t mean they win every time or that it’s inevitable that they win.

LGBT people were treated the same way, this is how it starts.
