  • Bad times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create bad times.

    This garbage is derived from “The fourth turning” Strauss–Howe generational theory. Which can best be explained by H. L. Mencken

    For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

    It’s suspicious when someone has strong opinions about consent laws. But not as suspicious as someone who’d white-knight fucking Bill Clinton because, wait for it, their concern for young adults being treated with respect.

    That math doesn’t add up friend. Who do you think your fooling?





  • I’m not talking about personal responsibility as in “don’t smoke cigarettes”. I’m talking about “ultra-processed foods are the mono-cause for all human disease”.

    These people don’t believe in health-risks. They believe that everyone who ever gets sick could have chosen not to.

    we have a personal responsibility to be as healthy as it is possible not only for our own good but for the greater good of society

    Ironic how fast “personal responsibility” becomes “you owe your body to the State”. But even if we ignore the totalitarianism of your system, it’s still wrong.

    Smokers and the Obese incur fewer lifetime health costs than joggers. So by your reasoning, it’s suddenly patriotic and prosocial to smoke, be a couch potato, and eat potato chips. People who work out are selfish and hate America.


  • RFK is the best illustration of the difference between informed skepticism and ignorant denialism.

    The throughline of all his ideals is that health is a personal choice. Right wing people accept this because it means that we are not responsible for each other. Health-nut people accept this because it means that their quality of life is always going to be under their control.

    Both of these ideas is so utterly wrong that it’s no wonder that people who accept them say and believe such silly things.
