Bullets also open the blood-brain barrier and allow toxins into the brain, so are they going to be banned? 🧐

[–] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No. These actually do it mechanically, so it's fine.

WiFi obly does it in RFK's fantasies, so that's why banning it's fine.

"The Democrats didn't fail us. We failed them"

I think this is the best take.

The national Democratic party is a collection of thousands of smaller local Democratic parties. We've abandoned the local parties, allowing the corporate rot to take over the national party. We don't need a new 3rd party, we need to take control of the local Democratic parties which already have the infrastructure in place to fund raise and run campaigns.

Good luck if you get three leftists in a room together they have six different ideas on how to get things done and will argue to the death about the best way instead of doing anything.

Yeah here in Ohio we had multiple state referendums where things like abortion and recreational marijuana were overwhelming approved by the voters. So the Democrats proceeded to say nothing anout how they were going to protect those objectively popular issues and instead ran a bunch of ads about how they are going to work with Trump on securing the border, then were shocked that they all got BTFOed in November.

One of the key characteristics of fascism is machismo: a kind of hyper masculinity, and one of the characteristics of machismo is seemingly that a man is right simply by stating something confidently enough. It's not about facts, evidence, or rigorous testing, it's just about being the right kind of man and having the right kind of masculine energy. That's why fascists are anti-intellectual, because intellectuals and academics understand that research, testing, and experimentation determine truth, not manly vibes.

You know, I can get behind the sentiment of MAHA. Fast foods literally killing people, and worse, making thier lives miserable and expensive. Healthy skepticism of big pharma is, err, healthy. Bring that on.

Research into cell phone health issues is fine. The physics suggest it shouldn't be an issue, but still, data is good.


...But can we please take the quack medicine out?

[–] turmacar@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago (7 children)

Agreed that there's no such thing as "wasted" research. But there is no medicine to take out of the quack medicine. They're quacks because they refuse to accept results of research on emotional grounds and just keep squawking the same things their minds are made up about.

Focusing on problems that are fairly settled now because a 70+ year old heard they were mysterious and a problem at the age of six is so inefficient as to be regressive. Yes we should continue to research... everything but we should do so on the foundation of all the research available in , not on vaguely remembered tabloid scares from decades ago.

Roughly accurate transcription it seems:

Text of above[01:11:01] well, wi-fi radiation is, does all kinds of bad things, including causing cancer.

[01:11:10] wi-fi radiation causes cancer.

[01:11:11] yeah, from your cell phone. i mean, there's cell phone tumor, tumors, you know, that, i mean,

[01:11:15] i'm representing hundreds of people who have cell phone tumors behind the ear. it's always on the

[01:11:20] ear that you favor with your cell phone. and, you know, we have the science. so if anybody

[01:11:27] lets us in front of a jury, it will be over. you know, we-

[01:11:30] so what is the number? because a lot of people use cell phones.

[01:11:32] there's a lot of people with it. they're glioblastomas. that's the kind of cancers that

[01:11:37] they get. but cancer's not the worst thing. they also, you know, it opens up,

[01:11:42] wi-fi radiation opens up your blood-brain barrier. and so all these toxins that are in your body can

[01:11:49] now go into your brain.

[01:11:50] how does wi-fi radiation open up your blood-brain barrier?

[01:11:54] yeah, now you're going beyond my expertise. but what-

[01:12:00] there are, there are, i'm going to use a number here and you're going to think it's hyperbole,

[01:12:05] but it's not. there are tens of thousands of studies that show the horrendous danger of wi-fi

[01:12:12] radiation. and-

[01:12:15] so this is wi-fi that's in this room?

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Would love to see these tens of thousands of studies that show the danger

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Now you've gone beyond my university's subscriptions.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

are those tens of thousands of studies in the room with us right now?

Wow. This is so utterly absurd, even for politican.

But if he can't explain it, maybe he should bring in an expert who can. I can't wait to hear that explanation. I'll have the popcorn ready.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, this arrow, here, is WiFi.

And this line is the bloodβ€”brain, barrier.

When the arrow comes to the line, it goes through it. See?

And other things can go through the hole. Like woke.

I will not be taking questions. Thank you.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yep. Exactly the best such an "expert" could provide. When did he lose his license to practice, again?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

No Questions!

If you look at how RFK jr is sitting, he's leaning back and to the left.

This guy probably believes his blood is blue because he's descended from royalty or some shit.

Nah, he'd think his blood was blue not because of the royalty thing but because blue is actually the natural color of blood and it's just built up toxins that turn it red. That's why the royals had blue blood, not because they were just inherently better, but because they took better care of themselves unlike the peasantry.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Don't mention blood near him, we'll have to listen to a lecture on RH negative blood and lizard people.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 months ago (8 children)

How can the country whose engineering skill and expertise managed to rocket their manufacturing economy into the stratosphere post WWI and into WWII, devolve into idiots like RFK Jr?

His uncle wanted to put people on the moon for fucks sake. What a terrible shame on his family to have this guy be one of the last representatives of the Kennedy name.

Hi, I would like to introduce you to Rupert Murdoch, the ruler of Newscorp and now Fox.

He tried to make sure most of his children wouldn't have any voting rights because they were too moderate compared to himself and his favorite son..

Fox is now its own separate entity, but it's still the Murdoch family on the board of it.

TL;DR: The reason the anglosphere, primarily the US, is so fucked, is actually an ozzie. Though he's been an American citizen for some 4 decades now.

He's saying this so people think his ideas are crazy and won't believe it when the feds and intelligence organizations actually manipulate society with technology.

That's his role in the administration. Its all a long con preparing for the social control coming next.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think that you're actually putting too much stock into these people. They are just nasty people being nasty as far as they can. Any planning is superficial.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

From some of them? Yes. From all of them? No. Steven Miller, Steve Bannon, maybe Dr Oz, almost certainly Linda McMahon, have plans

There was debate into the late 90's in the scientific community if hiv caused aids due to the rigorous nature of Koch's Postulates. Even then it was just recognized not all the criteria were met. Later they proved it with a monkey variant. HIV causing aids. Not the crazy wifi thing.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, this seems to be the basis for all sorts of craziness. Something is sort of true at some point, latch onto some bastardized understanding and just never let that go

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago

basically. I mean it was given some credence because the scientific community takes technical specifics like that very seriously but even then it was still recognized as unlikely that hiv did not cause aids as lab accidents had caused it. Its sorta funny I heard a guy give his talk on a paper like that in like 95 and looking it up in 96 the paper was written arguing we had proved it already by the criteria.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 2 months ago

The WiFi came from the future to turn HIV into AIDS.

[–] elbiter@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

This is what people voted for.

Enough people to put it there.
