I mean I'm not a white american, and I don't see why race matters in this conversation anyways. I'm not on meds, either, but I will speak out for those who are. Obviously, fuck Donald Trump and his literal concentration camp, but this thread was about RFK, and his hypothetical(for the moment) concentration camps, so idk what you are on about.

We would probably be comrades irl. I literally think borders should be illegal, I think you are mad at the wrong person here.

How do you know what is going through his worm infested brain? I think its fair to assume the worst about this idiot and extrapolate what he actually means when he talks about these 'wellness' camps.

At the very least, he wants to take meds away from people who need them to survive and be happy. That's already batshit levels of insane and cruel. I don't think forced labor camps are too much of a stretch from there.

In a way, you could say that. It's also a societal one. Its a whole lot of problems rolled up into one, really.

Body dismorphia is only a mental illness in the sense that it causes a lot of emotional distress. Not in the sense that it is a delusion or the person is crazy, or anything.

I'm sure I am speaking to the choir here, but body dismorphia is the mental illness here, and transgenderism is the cure.

Pre-transition transgender people are mentally ill, due to the emotional pain that comes from being trapped in a body that they don't feel represents themselves. The cure for that illness is, of course, transitioning into the gender that makes them feel like themselves. So, a fully transitioned transgender person is no longer mentally ill, at least from body dismorphia.

Therefore, people who are against things like puberty blockers and HRT are literally trying to keep mentally ill people from getting better. I am okay with body dismorphia being referred to as a mental illness, in accordance with medical science. The fact that it is a mental illness shows the cruelness of the people fighting against the literal cure for it.

However, I am sure Facebook is going to just let anyone refer to perfectly happy and fully-transition transgendered people as mentally ill, which is most definitely not true, and shouldn't be allowed.

Obligatory Fuck Zuck.

Yea, studies have found that washing raw chicken underwater doesn't help , and actually causes people to spread salmonella and other bacteria around their kitchens.

Just cook the thing to 165°F and kill it all.

Please dont get me wrong here, I'm not defending the CCPs treatment of the Ulghurs, at all, and it does fit the broad definition of genocide, but it is not the same as the Holocaust death camps.

The camps in China are much more akin to the "Indian schools" that the US sent native Americans to in an attempt to get them to forget their culture and "civilize" them. Also, maybe a bit of the Japanese interment camp experience from the US in WWII.

It's still disgusting and needs to be called out, don't get me wrong, but its not quite the same as literal death camps, or the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

I mean there is a faction of liberals that hate AOC, but the person/people who made the meme definitely aren't liberal.

It's not that the union head should be neutral. The head of a union should be openly and unapologetically pro-union. Going on a podcast and agreeing with someone who is right-wing extremely anti-union, is a very bad and traitorous look for the head of the union.

To add on to what you said, only the lower recievers for most guns have to be registered. Someone could hypothetically get every other upper part for a pistol or rifle delivered directly to their door or PO box with no questions asked, and then just hypothetically 3d print the lower reciever.

Fair point. I guess I'm not immune. I was protected from that kind of propaganda by the armor of wise and empathetic family members, and their ability to educate and lead by example.

Some of us do seem to be immune to the propaganda, though. I've heard so much anti-union propaganda. I've heard so much anti-Socialist rhetoric, anti-woke bullshit, etc. I was educated and employed in a red state.

Yet, here I am telling you that Socialism is the truth. Unions are awesome. I support just about any marginalized groups rights. Many of my friends and family feel the same even though they were educated and indoctrinated in the same system.

There is a lot more to it than just propaganda. I would say that tribalism plays a larger role. When someone is born into a conservative family, surrounded by conservative citizens, it becomes a lot easier to just agree with the status quo in the area to fit in. I can tell you, from my experience, that I was not very popular in school, due to being a dirty leftist with empathy.

I will say that my immediate family is not religious, not conservative, and they are very open minded, loving and empathetic people. This is probably the main reason I was immune to the propaganda.
