MAGAtards have unironically ruined the term "deep state" by making it seem like it's only the Democrat Party when the idea was always been that both parties are controlled.

That's why I prefer the term "shadow government".

@djsumdog @icedquinn The rise of the anti-fluoride movement has been going on for a while now, even before Trump appointed RFK. There have been fluoride lawsuits going on for the past few years. Derrick Broze has been covering some of the lawsuits.

Luckily, I have been using a fluoride filter jug from Epic for almost a year now.

@PurpCat @beardalaxy Back in health class in high school our health teacher told us that in parties that it's a good idea to actually finish a drink before getting up to talk to someone, use the bathroom, or something like that. Otherwise, someone might piss in it when you are not looking.

@beardalaxy I don't think I could ever enjoy a Crush or Fanta again after drinking their orange sodas.

@icedquinn RFK Jr is right about almost everything related to food, but I feel like people are putting way too much faith in him. There are plenty of alternative food and drinks that don't use seed oils or beet sugars and they aren't that expensive. You don't even need to go to a farmer's market or health food store to buy them, just shop in the outer perimeter of your store. Meijer has a huge selection of cane sugar sodas.

Even if RFK Jr forces Coca Cola and Pepsi to use cane sugar, I'm still going to support the little guys who have been doing it since the beginning.

Someone needs to keep a public list of every promise that Trump (and his cabinet) has made for this term and see how many of them will actually be fulfilled. If you want a representative government, you better hold your leaders accountable.

@RustyCrab @Suiseiseki @ooignignoktoo @sun "Libre" or "Liber" is Latin for "free", as in freedom. It's a common Latin root word. Words like "liberty", "liberation", "liberalism", "libertarianism", "Liberia" come from it.

@Suiseiseki @RustyCrab @ooignignoktoo @sun I know that the open-source movement has corporate interests involved but the other part of the reason why there was a split was because people thought that Stallman was simply advocating for freeware, due to the name confusion. I'd argue that there wouldn't be a split if Stallman simply called it the "Libre Software Movement". And it's not like Stallman is against people profiting off of "free software".

>Atlas Shrugged is just too damn bloated though, I got through it, but I understand why a lot of people just can't finish it; you really need to be at least 60% with her in order to get into it

That's such a shame, otherwise I would recommend it, not to convert people necessarily, but to debunk some other shitty claim: that the science fiction genre is and has always been about Fully Automated Luxury Space Communism.

>That said, I think "the charity question," is pretty cleanly explained in AS, basically charity is only immoral if you're giving against your interests, if you're donating to a charity that will ultimately lead to a long term benefit for you in some way that's still kosh (EG: donating to a homeless shelter because having people sleeping in the streets is bad for business, so you're ultimately helping yourself by helping other people).

Of course most businesses would only ever donate out of their own self-interest, but when it comes to individuals I don't think donating to something that won't benefit you is immoral. Ultimately, people do selfless acts because it makes them feel good, so there really is no such thing as doing something against your self-interest. Though I do understand the dangers of being too altruistic where people take advantage of you. I know that from experience.

@beardalaxy Yet the pro-establishment ideologies/movements don't suffer from these problems.
