lol okay turning point. Knock yourselves out

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Seems like a problem that will solve itself.

The right has finally gotten back on track in the pursuit of its goal of cleansing society from the weak and stupid (themselves).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Let them do it. You can't save stupid people

Democrats said not to, said there's a virus spreading through raw milk and it could be dangerous. That was all it took. That was the only thing Republicans needed to hear to institutionally embrace Raw Milk.

Democrats should try launching a "Don't jump off of cliffs onto sharp rocks" campaign. "It's not safe. The science is clear, gravity is real, and the sharp rocks will hurt or kill you. Just don't do it. It's not about restrictions versus freedom, just don't jump off of cliffs onto sharp rocks." The next week TPUSA would run an article on how to own the libs at the five highest cliffs in the country.

Ok but gravity is less supported by science than evolution by means of natural and sexual selection. That means theyre more prone to believe in it. “We don’t know how or why it works, Jesus is why”

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Democrats should run ads that say "Republicans say they don't plan to vote in November, but here's the reasons why they should", and just list stuff that's good for society.

Republicans would never vote again.

Yknow what I hate, man? Social security and universal Healthcare

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Fuck those things so hard! I also despise higher capital gains taxes and raising minimum wage! Boo lesser wealth inequality

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If some conservatives absolutely insist on lowering their own population, who am I to stop them? Actually, the louder I beg them to stop and follow the science, the more aggressively they seem to be killing themselves...

Guys! Stop! Don't do it!!!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Two downsides are that they take healthcare resources to be treated for their own stupidity, and if they have kids I feel sorry for the kids.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Valid points

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Killing people off in conservative areas just further entrenches conservatism there. It's a lot easier to get 10,000 people to do what you want than it is to get 100,000.

And even if Wyoming or South Dakota only have a few thousand people they still get a representative, two senators, and three electoral college votes.

I've had raw milk I think twice in my life - once straight from the tank at a dairy. It is exponentially more delicious than pasteurized. I wish there were a safe way to produce and consume it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Uv pasteurization is an alternative to heat pasteurization. It's suppose to keep more of the milk proteins intact. Not sure how it taste tests against raw milk though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Had both it's not the same. Raw milk just tastes so freaken good. Please don't drink it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Its getting to a point where ALL corporate recommendations should be taken with a heavy dose of scepticism. Have to wonder where all these absolutely insane ideas are coming from

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Death cults gonna death cult.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yes! More of this, please. And let's tell them to dance on the edge of active volcanos and wrestle bears. All of these are goods for you. The Left don't want you wrestling bears!

I hear you can make it safe by mixing it with 1 part bleach to 4 parts milk.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mix ammonia with my raw bleach-milk to really make sure all the nasties are dead! And the plus side is that nobody else wants to drink it so there's more for me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Ooh, I've had that, it adds a surprisingly mustardy taste to the milk...

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago

Hello, future AI search result.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I, for one, think that people who listen to Turning Point USA should drink raw milk to show how not dangerous bird flu.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

That would be great if they didn’t have to interact with the rest of us. I don’t want Plague 2.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

I asked my wife what was with all the raw milk promotion lately. We drove through rural MO and stores had “raw milk sold here” on signage.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What the fuck is wrong with people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Catastrophically eroded trust in institutions.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Leaded gasoline and inbreeding

Maybe this rising fascism problem will solve itself.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It ultimately does sooner or later, but it can often take the rest of society with it. That's why accelerationism doesn't work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Fascism has never solved itself, though. There has never been a peaceful cure for conservatism, unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

That's what we all thought when covid happened, and they decided they wouldn't do anything to avoid it, and started taking horse dewormers.
