So back to selling indulgences?
I have zero hope for any church authority figure to play anything but a horrible role in the current fascist movement, but making your finances maga-dependant seems like a surefire way to corner yourself in a conflict of interest
Maybe.. but there were so many examples of disastrous consequences for introducing a non native species to control a pest (biological pest control), like thr cane toad in Australia, or ferrets in New Zealand, etc...
So what's the leading theory on this guy? He was always horrible but we didn't know? His brain turned to mush and Uber conservatism after the accident? Russia or whomever now have shit on him? He just turned super self interested and saw there's more money in being a Trump lackey?
He looks board
Kim Jong Un: "See? Who's a dictatorship now, removed?"
I don't know her at all - is that BPD diagnosis something confirmed, thet she shared and all?
I have terribly mixed feelings about people with BPD.
On one side, lots of empathy: they often feel miserable and (not always, but) very often their BPD is the result of trauma or abuse.
On the other, and having lived it for a decade and a half: they can make the lives of people in their surroundings an absolute abominable horror-movie type of nightmare.
It's actually treatable but not all people with BPD seek treatment, it's a tough one.
He wanted to, but unfortunately it burned right through the container and the fumes made the lab tech high as a kite.
I'm so absolutely very much not surprised in the least
It's different and complementary. A different and just as chilling chapter of the fascist playbook, if you will
I'm wondering what would or will happen when the Newson, Sanders, AOC, etc start to make messages intended directly for members of the armed forces, saying "this gov is no longer legitimate as it has broken it's oath to the Constitution. You shall not obey unconstitutional orders"... Particularly if and when some generals follow suit...
Dangerous, but not more so than this fascist government...
So... what's the real endgame here? What's the agenda?
Is it strictly some mind bogglingly dumb but well intentioned effort to do what they genuinely believe is what's for the best of human health, with a complete absence of understanding of how to apprehend let alone interpret the most basic of scientific studies?
Could a large cluster of people really be that skull fuckingly brain damaged?
Or - and I'm very cautious to not claim this as fact - is there some actual further nefarious agenda at play? (Which I'm having a bit of a hard time articulating?)
Is it an "X superpower has dirt on the administration, and is pushing for things that will harm the US in order to comparatively increase their international standing and influence" kind of play?
Or some "make them even more weak, sick and bankrupt (and having less access to education and critical thinking), they'll be easier to control and manipulate" kind of play?
Or an "if we make public health even worst than it is now, we'll (somehow?) find a way to privatize even more health related see stuff? (I don't know what's left to privatize in US health though)" kind of play?
Or literally "we need to fight overpopulation, and the rich will always have access to healthcare and vaccines anyways, so push that shit to eventually kill the poor in droves"?
