Anyone who wouldn’t go with China over Amerisrael a million times over is simply a victim of unbelievable volume of propaganda.

The US is by far the single worst, most oppressive country on the planet and it isn’t even close.

Canada is part of five eyes and is functionally a US vassal. There’s little difference between a Canadian tech company and an American tech company.

This also goes for most NATO countries

because capitalism

If you want to reduce intergenerational conflict, it helps to acknowledge the pain and how society has failed the less privileged.

As a millenial, you likely had a fairly normal childhood, a privelege many GenZ did not, due to COVID.

Obviously this isn’t your fault, and older generations have privelege you don’t have. If we want to advance class interests we need to be intersectional, and acknowledge the unique problems that affect some groups more than others.

You’re seeing the consequences of young people growing up during COVID. It is very, very difficult to unlearn what we were socialized for in our youth.

For most people who experience this, it literally is too late to change their ways. It’s possible but requires extreme effort and likely years of therapy.

There’s no amount of well meaning aphorisms older generations can pull out to make this better. It is a public mental health crisis and needs to be treated as such, not treated as individual failure.

The judiciary is, by and large, owned and controlled by the ruling class. Don’t expect anything resembling justice to come from that system.

In this moment, any candidate who receives super PAC funding from corporations or Israel is a bad candidate.

Centrism is dead. The right is dying. This is a time for moving towards socialism.

I’m not sure I understand, are you in favor of one party states, or opposed to them?

It isn’t because she isn’t in her 80s, it’s because she poses the mildest possible threat to entrenched ruling class interests who own and control the entire media landscape, from CBS to CNN to Twitter to TikTok.

The wealthy ruling class would rather move towards fascism than socialism because fascism benefits the ruling class and socialism is a step towards dismantling the ruling class.

A far better alternative is to replace CEOs with democratically organized workplaces, where everyone has an equal say and equal reward. Also known as socialism.

Without doxing myself, I have expertise in this topic. It’s not a matter of my world view, it’s a matter of science and communication.

It is very unlikely that human adiposity leads to increased cancer risk directly. It is correlational, not causational. Human adiposity itself, isolated from compounding factors, has a complex relationship with health outcomes, and not at all the linear correlation where more fat = more bad that the mainstream likes to pretend.

We know that certain foods, particularly animal products, especially cheaper animal products, lead to cancers, heart disease, etc. This is most likely explanation for the results in this study. But yet again we have yet another study uselessly pointing out a correlation which is unhelpful for actually solving public health issues and continues to encourage the passing of the blame to those in society who have the least responsibility for their situation.

Hate these studies. They’re always just based on correlations, and ignores the elephant in the room: class. How wealthy you are, how wealthy the area you live in, those factors have the highest impact on health outcomes, but the mainstream media (which is owned by the ruling class) will never be honest about that. So they just find correlations that let them blame poor people for having shitty diets.

Mainstream media is owned and controlled by the ruling class, so yeah, only independent media will report such things

The fact is that animals need to be fed, and they are inefficient. Most animals eat plants, so to create 1,000kcal of beef products, for example, it takes 25,000kcal of plant products. Most animal feeds are based on corn or soy, which otherwise could be turned into human food products directly with a 25x efficiency bonus.

I suppose you could make an argument that grass-fed livestock might work, but then I guess an explanation for why grass is growing but other crops aren’t.

My underlying point is that animal protein is inefficient compared to plant protein

So, even if we’re in a future form of humanity and all of our present farming methods failed, sowing seeds and harvesting crops would be the first kind of farming to be “restored” or “rediscovered” or whatever, because it’s vastly more efficient, and assuming you’re recovering from some sort of disaster scenario, feeding as many people as quickly as possible would probably be the goal. They’d probably grow rice and soy or something.

Animal farming is really for luxury goods, except in very remote places where crops can’t be grown

the technology that has allowed for a life without livestock has failed

That would be the ability to grow crops? So only wild plants would grow for some reason? Impossible to farm anything then really, only viable lifestyles are scavenging, foraging and hunting
