SelzeroThe USA is being run by idiots, and some people want to import the nonsense here.
dissident@selzero Let the fools drink raw milk, bleach, and anything else that might at least remove them from the gene pool, and at best arranges them a swift appointment with St Peter.
Noodlemaz@dissident @selzero the problem is they're promoting it so people who don't know better are e.g. feeding it to kids, who have no choice.
And some of them die.
It's not their fault. This is what government is meant to prevent, not profit from.

HappyCrow13@noodlemaz @dissident @selzero The majority of these people know better, or should if they stayed awake at all in school or learned basic food hygiene. They're the same kind that refuse vaccines cuz it contains mercury and dead viruses. It sounds scary so they refuse to learn about it or accept they're wrong.
I hate it for the kids. Stupidity hurts everyone

@HappyCrow13 @dissident @selzero it's still not up to individuals to fight every kind of misinformation alone. That it now comes from the US government and all manner of quacks are legimitised is a major public health crisis. And not just for that country.
@noodlemaz @dissident @selzero People have been distrusting doctors and the government for years I get why. Fighting misinformation only works if you're willing to accept you're wrong which these types of people aren't or they 'know better'
In the US at least it's up to the individual to use common sense. Most of us learn basic germ theory in school, why we pasturize dairy and don't drink or swim in bad water. We even learn the basic of vaccines.
There is no excuse for this stupidity not anymore

@HappyCrow13 @dissident @selzero to be fair in the US, doctors/medicine and private companies are so entwined, it's not entirely unreasonable to distrust.
Especially if you're not a white, able-bodied straight man. Medicine is great at marginalising a lot of people and making things worse.
So it makes sense people look to 'alternatives', even though they're so often total shit and even worse, and also a før-profit grift.
So again, we need effective regulation. Not govt that is captured by - and made up of - those self same grifters.
@noodlemaz @dissident @selzero I totally agree about the government and doctors I agree why folks look for alternatives
I don't agree on excusing blatent stupidity. It's one thing to look for alternatives it's another to completely dismiss everyone telling you don't do something like drink raw milk or horse dewormer to cure COVID cuz they disagree with your 'research'
Excusing stupidity is making everything worse. It's past time holding everyone accountable for this shit citizens and government

@noodlemaz @dissident @selzero I grew up surrounded by these kinds of people. They're not ignorant they're stubborn and stupid. Mostly stupid. They feel superior cuz they don't follow Big Whatever (except when it suits them). All this raw milk BS is very 'I lived thru it it's fine' (It ranging from beating kids to not vaxing them to consuming dangerous foods)
We as a nation are very stupid and selfish. It's painful to see
