Because you asked what I meant. Of course what I meant didn’t include your response to it. You almost seem offended my thoughts weren’t yours.

In short, Kant said people should be the goal, not the means.

It’s ok to make yourself dinner.

It’s ok to make your friend dinner because you want to make them happy.

It’s not ok to make your friend dinner because you want to have sex with them.

It’s not ok to make your friend make you dinner because you don’t want to cook.

Every facet of capitalism is exploitation by design as profit is unpaid labor. However classless socialism isn’t automatically devoid of exploitation.

None of us asked to be here. I certainly don’t want to be here anymore. Placing the value of a life upon the imaginary lines it landed between, how much money it’s parents had, or the color of it’s skin are all pretty fucked up.

Lol. Welcome to chasing a pipe dream or crippling depression.

The answer is largely as simple as socialism plus Kant with some secular Jesus because any system that condones human exploitation will eventually implode due to psychopaths’ willingness to sacrifice others for power.

But literally basically everything is done wrong to maximize exploitation. Housing, schooling, medicine, food… All fucked to make the richest richer.

Liberalism is the slow road to fascism.

And this is how social media hijacks brains.

Absolutely. Great video on the matter: https://youtu.be/xDgzgDSInt0

I always keep in mind the first doctor to advocate washing hands after handling corpses was laughed out of medicine and died alone in an asylum ironically enough from sepsis.

To that point, the vast majority of research on nutrition is done on the presumption carbohydrates should be the foundation of our diet. Even “low” carb diet studies with have 30% of the calories coming from simple carbs. Oddly enough, the human body works much differently and much better when you don’t give it -any- sugar: https://youtu.be/cST99piL71E

I can expand, but briefly, sugar acts like a sandblaster through your heart and shreds the endothelium (the finger-things that move things in and out of the bloodstream). LDL is a repair van that drives around with cholesterol and saturated fat to repair the plaques. (HDL brings empty LDL back to the liver) The entire logic of blaming cholesterol for heart disease is like blaming bandaids for stab wounds. Doctors say eat less fat and more “healthy whole grains” (carbs) and the liver makes more cholesterol. Doctor sees cholesterol is still high because the body needs it and prescribes statins which impair production. This leads to nerve pain because it’s what literally every nerve in the body is insulated with.

The problems with cholesterol stem from it sitting in the bloodstream and glycating due to prolonged sugar exposure. Sugar staying in the bloodstream is basically ketoacidosis, so clearing sugar is a priority that results in LDL gumming up and going bad, essentially.

I can expand on this, but basically the human body needs predominantly fat with some protein and actually zero carbs.

I hope this is a bot account or something because this is sincerely one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever read. I’ve seen barnacles with more purpose in life than this.

But you get to pick what color your collar is!

How many people hated the ACA for undermining their freedom to use solely who their employer allowed them to?

How many big, strong men get their feelings hurt when ANYONE tells them not to do things (that are dangerous to themselves and/or illegal) but at the same time, is absolutely devastated when they can’t dictate how others act?

“Your right to swing your fist ends where my face begins” used to be a thing. Now, stopping a conservative from genocide is violating their freedoms.

It’s a circus of absurdity fueled by decades of rewarding blind selfishness and cuts to education.

Several points.

One, look over my post history and you’ll see I’m not a fan of the Democrats because they’re marginally less bad conservatives.

Two, like I give a fuck if reality hurts their feelings, but I’m not being elitist favoring my side. Anyone falling for the false dichotomy doesn’t understand reality to the point they could form opinions that matter. Like anyone that favors term limits is automatically a gullible rube that hasn’t looked into it at all. The majority of people rely on received opinions and specious reasoning for almost everything because actual consistent coherent thought is a learned still.

Three, I’m being objective and not judgemental, hence the links. There’s hard data everyone is just fucking dumber largely due to Republican efforts to sabotage education being met half way by Democrats.

And four, look at the link about gerrymandering. They spent decades literally cheating. Capping the house at 435 in 191X also massively empowered conservatives. Then you have to look into the end of times accelerationists and evangelical dominionists… Lots of cheating, sabotaging education, and obvious racism in law enforcement ignored.

Five, the term right wing comes from the French parliament that wanted to keep the monarchy in power. The founding fathers were college educated aristocracy that wouldn’t have wanted white trash voting or owning guns (federalist paper… 27… Or 29?) and yet conservatives worship them.

The entire ecosystem is full of gullible assholes in authoritarian power structures where independent thought is punished.

They’ve always been garbage people.

Are we supposed to feel bad for fascist apologists? Republicans have always been unrepentant bastards or gullible fucking morons. Usually both because they’re objectively impaired for both empathy and intelligence.

Empathy- https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9400002/#%3A~%3Atext=While+we+are+regularly+inundated%2Cothers)%20relative%20to%20their%20more

But not just conservatives, all Americans are dumber: https://www.the74million.org/article/across-all-ages-demographics-test-results-show-americans-are-getting-dumber/

Decades of obvious racism:

Well the biggest problem is that the fuck does conservatism want to conserve?

Selling off parks, betraying labor, violating people’s right to self determination…

If you mean Republicans, those are open fascists.

The ones doing any amount of conservation are Democrats, but eventually one realizes nimby liberalism is just the slower road to fascism as it always bends the knee to corporate interests. We wouldn’t be here if this wasn’t true.

The “responsible adults” in the room are either spineless cowards, incompetent dupes, or malicious insider trading bad actors themselves.

Between the Business Plot and the lack of any action against cellar boxing American corporations into bankruptcy and predatory economic bubbles it becomes ever clearer the goal of the entire system is to fleece the poor masses to make the rich minority ever richer.

This is a good question but you’re going to get a wild range of information because of a number of factors.

That number is a good starting point but it’s likely low especially if you’re physically active or using a vegan/vegetarian source.

Also, something one must keep in mind is that the vast majority of research in the field is built on the fundamental assumption carbs should be the largest part of the diet which is likely wrong as the body seems to run better the less sugar you give it.

Empathy and intelligence are good proxies for political orientation.

The smarter and/or more empathic people are the more left they tend to skew.

Objectively, you sound ignorant and wholly self centered but still not self interested to the point you need other people to tell you your views because you haven’t thought about them yourself. At this point, your opinion is whatever people tell you to make it.

But if you’re not a straight white man or a tradfem you’re actively disservicing yourself by not understanding what being politically ignorant has on literally every facet of your existence from the water you drink to your validity as an autonomous individual.

Then even if you are a straight white man, racism is largely a misdirection for class warfare via wage theft, wage suppression, and inflation.

Explore this site and take the quiz if you’re curious, but also look at the history of US elections and notice how far right candidates have gone the last 2 decades.

Take note of how far RIGHT candidates portrayed as “left” are.

https://politicalcompass.org/uselection2004

Look at the scatter plots more closely.

Every dot (pair) is one precinct reporting.

Up and down is % of the vote.

Left to right is time in order of report.

Every dot is a unique data point. There should be no link in the results between precincts, right? Everyone should just be a total of votes for Trump or Harris.

That’s exactly what was seen for the results of early voting ballots. Normal.

However, there’s an obvious bias for Trump in the other reporting that increases in an obvious, consistent trend increasingly for Trump that’s basically impossible to have organically.

Even if what you said were true, it couldn’t account for the clean trend line working toward a goal.

The more densely populated an area is, the bluer it votes. The areas with the most people and lean blue should take longer to report. The smaller the precinct , the more red it usually goes but also faster to report. However, the most Trump leaning result came in last including large blue areas.

Analysing the data raises a lot of red flags that Democrats are all Helen Keller about.

“you didn’t believe the proof I didn’t have so I won’t even look at your proof I can’t understand”

Did Republicans ever show any evidence ever?

I suppose statistically impossible results would be more significant if you understood statistics.

Yes.

In the short term not much will change and no one will react. By the time they want to react, they’ll play into a fascist crackdown.

Look into the Business Plot. This is basically the result of a century of planning between business interests and religious fanatics with too much money.

As long as capitalism is propagandized as a good thing, civilization will continue to face this issue of the few exploiting the many.

Do you believe every human deserves the same rights and dignities? It’s not possible to make a cell phone without relying on slave labor in the supply chains.

Profit is unpaid labor. As long as we normalize giving at the profits to those that already have everything, civilisations will continue to implode until one makes a mistake of such hubris everyone dies. Look at PFAS. One day we will unleash something we can’t contain and we’ll be dead before we can detect it or treat it.

Our species simply will not survive because we’re too eager to shit where we sleep just so we don’t have to walk all the way to the bathroom.
