Yes, the machine operates the same no matter who pulls its levers.

People don’t just randomly make the decision to live, they need to have things for which to live.

You’re right, taxing sugar isn’t an answer. Banning it is better, somewhat, but it’s still not the best solution.

The best solution is to make people want to stop eating like shit and stop killing themselves. I called obesity deaths “deaths of despair” because it’s really not much different from any other unhealthy/dangerous behavior be that drug abuse, self harm, etc. Screaming “make the decision to live” at people is kinda fucking stupid lol

Well, maybe if they had their government forcibly removed they’d get the message.

People in despair don’t care about much at all. Nevermind this shit is addictive, psychologically manipulative, it also acts as a little dopamine hit in an otherwise miserable life. Obesity deaths are deaths of despair.

Imagine if people wanted to live.

So uh, sounds like it’s not just Netanyahu holding up the deal but the entire right-wing coalition. Getting rid of Bibi won’t fix this, their government is just like this.

I believe I need to leverage my vote to stop Biden from being the nominee because he can’t win the general, and by pledging to vote blue-no-matter-who you are making it more likely Trump wins because he’ll have no trouble beating Biden.

They’re listening to voters freak out about Biden and they’re responding. It’s not too late.

He sounded punch drunk.

I’ll vote for a chimpanzee if it’s not Trump.

The average American won’t though. You have to actually appeal to them or they’ll stay home.

Public school US history textbooks do not tell that America was founded on anti-democratic principles and was built from its foundation to suppress democracy, do not tell the story of how the US government hunted buffalo into extinction in the wild to starve the Plains Indians, do not tell about the systematic abduction of Native children to be raised by white families and erase Native heritage, do not tell the story of the hero John Brown who hunted down slave owners, do not teach about how the US turned on Ho Chi Minh when he reached out to America to help with his own country’s war for independence, do not tell of how the US attacked Soviet Russia to aid the overthrow of the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution, and do in fact preach that systemic racism isn’t real and racism is merely an individualist phenomenon where some people are racist but the United States is not a racist white settler state. You literally believe racism is over in most of America! Yet you want to pretend like you weren’t taught that?

Some schools sometimes have some good teachers, but the majority are propaganda dispensaries. Structural racism exists and one of the ways structural racism expresses itself is in the public school system.

Read Lies My Teacher Told Me. It was written in 1995 and updated in 2007, there’ve been some improvements since then, but we have not solved the problem. The people who try to solve the problem are accused of teaching “”“Critical Race Theory”“” and are publicly and personally smeared by the media and one of the only two ruling US parties.

Oh yeah, also the slaves benefited from slavery because it gave them shelter and food and useful life skills.

Also also the Civil War was about evil Northern aggression and the Confederacy is heritage, not hate.

Primary education, on the other hand, is deep liberal indoctrination where you learn America is the first and greatest democracy, the Natives all mysteriously died for no reason, racism ended when we abolished slavery, and America is the hero of the free world.

If’t hadn’t been for genocide Joe,
Palestine’d been free long time 'go.
Where’d you come from,
Why won’t you go?
Can y’draw a clock now, genocide Joe?

They’re prisons not death camps.

Imagine what would happen if the government actually regulated and restricted sugar.

And after we beat Medicare too! smdh 😞

Good thing Vice President Trump is there to replace him.

In a democracy one person couldn’t ever have more than 50% of the votes.

I’m trans and pretty open to the suspicion that endocrine disruptors in the womb may be the reason for my trans-ness.

Or maybe it just causes me to have acne. Who knows!

Man man
does whatever a man can
look out
here comes the man
In the chill of night
he arrives
Man man
friendly neighborhood man
he’s ignored
wherever there’s a hangup
you’ll find the man🎶

I’m paralyzed by a gnawing fear that I’m bothering people, so I keep to myself.

It’s really toxic!
