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…
Ulvain@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Kennedy appoints vaccine skeptics and anti-science zealots after purge of immunization advisory panel21·8 days agoSo… 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”?
Fack

She’s not just lying, she’s actively normalized institutional gaslighting, basically setting up the premise necessary for the public to have just enough doubt about the veracity of the horrific stuff they’ll hear about that it empowers the fascists to move on to more and more horrible deeds… Holy smokes this bunch is dangerous

Ulvain@sh.itjust.worksto Bluesky@lemmy.world•This is how we should be selling redistribution271·1 month agoBest illustration I had read was the “stairwell” analogy.
Each step is a net worth of +$100k.
10 steps on the staircase, you have $1M. Imagine being 10 steps up on the stairs - higher than most, but really you can still see them, relate…
Now if 10 stpes = 1M, 10,000 steps = 1B.
The empire state building is ~1500 steps. 1B is about 6.5 Empire State buildings of height.
Musk has a net worth of 450B.
That’s 450 x 10,000, that’s 4,500,000 steps, or about 3,000 Empire State buildings, or comfortably in low earth orbit.
So when you look down at those on ground floor or those 10 steps above ground, the difference to you is not only inconsequential, it’s literally unnoticeable
Wasn’t there a whole weird theory that toxoplasmosis was also driving a bunch of human behaviour?
