Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha This guy just discredit any future movie involving an FBI agent for the next 75 years. We knew america had a under-education problem, but man you guys are something.

Germany just had a sweeping far right election, and Argentina has had a libertarian at the helms for a bit now. A ton of south Asian countries have had hardcore conservative views for a while now, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Canada shifts right next election. There are basically few corners of the earth where populism/right wing ideology isn’t growing and expanding. This isn’t an American education system problem, it’s world wide. The political elites in your country just have you convinced that it’s America that’s now the problem, which then creates a new wave of populism in your country. It’s a self eating snake.

Not that I’m disagreeing that our slapping of allies isn’t problematic. This is just something that is clearly growing everywhere and the people of Lemmy love saying “America bad” as the same exact shit is happening in your country. If you’re an American expand your news beyond our shores. The grass is unfortunately turning to shit everywhere. We’re in for a rough decade together.

Germany just had a sweeping far right election

you can't say 20% a 'sweeping'. The situation is worse at other places. And thanks to true multi party democracy, AfD probably won't be in government anyway.

[-] mean_bean279@lemmy.world 79 points 1 year ago

I hope so for Germanys sake. A 9% increase from the last election, for a party that’s 12 years old… that’s pretty sweeping to me. Not to mention that it’s more so the southern parts of Germany that have an even stronger percentage of AfD support.

Again, I’m not wanting a right shift for these countries, but it’s become clear that things are. We could stick our head in the dirt and say it’s only America, but that wouldn’t be true, and that’s what I was getting at with my comment.

The US is literally in control of fascist now, it's not nearly as bad in Germany, not that it's good but there is a big difference

Let's be clear here, the right extremist party got over 20% which is really bad for sure, but the mid-right party rules out working with them in a coalition no matter what. That's rather different from where the rest of the republicans and many democrats fall over themselves to do whatever the lunatic fringe says. Further, the American billionaires are strong influencers of these trends in other countries. The core of the disease is the USA even when there are symptoms everywhere.

[-] mean_bean279@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The mid-right said they wouldn’t work with them, but as we have seen that means absolutely nothing. I wouldn’t be surprised if the ~~SDP~~ CDU broke that and started working with AfD. Maybe it’s just me being cynical.

I’m not going to disagree that our power projection from the US isn’t a power boost to other right wing governments. I just think that to claim this is solely a result of poor US education when we can see this happening elsewhere in so called better educated countries means it isn’t really the predictor they’re claiming it to be.

Didn't the German election end well? AfD isn't in charge, and the winner is pro-Ukraine, anti-Russia, and pro-EU independence of the US.

I guarantee he doesn't actually believe this shit. He's just a grifter grifting just like the rest of the Whitehouse circus cast. The only exception might be Robert F. Kennedy Jr. That freak show might actually believe the shit he spews.

"Warrior Essentials"

"Spike Gangsters"

Do the incels he's trying so hard to market to understand how stupid these names are?

[-] Toofpic@feddit.dk 19 points 1 year ago

Using several of them at once is even funnier - they didn't feel confident enough with just one, and got "Manly man's sigma razor spike gamgster king warrior essential basics"

Shedders? Do these people think vaccines are contagious?

[-] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

Yes, pay attention to mention of "shedding". They think that vaccination causes the PT in question to shuck it off as though they were Pigpen from Charlie Brown cartoon.

It's not even applicable to most vaccines.

Basically polio spreads through poop, and this is your shedding. Oral Polio Vaccine does this as it's a weakened form of the polio virus and exhibits the same spread and provides vaccination indirectly to others. The US uses E-IPV, which is inactive and harmless and doesn't have this spread.

You'll only find OPV being used in countries with very inadequate medical access as it can be administered orally(hence the name). Only downside is that if you are very immunocompromised, there is a non zero chance you get polio and a chance you suffer from paralysis.

Flu vaccines, covid vaccine, literally anything else doesn't have this "shedding". It's literally one vaccine that isn't even administered in the united states.

These people literally don't know what mRNA is, they believe it's the same thing as DNA because it sounds vaguely similar. It's good to see actual experts calling him out though! We really need more of this.

Out of curiosity, I read one of their scientific studies on the website. The first one I read was a literature review (no tests were actually done) that said "one study says the supplement does nothing and another two sources say the study was done wrong so it could maybe be beneficial???" Wow. Such strong evidence.

Of course the URL has to appeal to the wannabe driving his lifted pickup truck, it has the word warrior in it. You get all these meatheads with delusions of being some sort of Spartan badass because they took 300 as a documentary.

And ironically enough they have more in common with the Persian "soldiers" which are just fodder for their God King.

Is that actually him? Just yesterday I fell for "Kash Patel News" on Twitter, and found his right handle there is Kash_Patel, but this seems to be a different platform.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

seems like the platform is called truthsocial, there are links in here:

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/trump-fbi-director-kash-patel-vaccine-detox-supplements-rcna182434

I would assume if this account was not real he would have sued them for using his name for commercial purposes

Looked at the site. It is vitamins, salt, food extracts, and Spermidine. Spermidine is a polyamine. I remember the first time I resuspended some in lab, it became clear from the smell why it is called SPERMidine. Wonder if the customers know there is a cheaper way to get a daily oral dose of Spermidine.
