Is that why the far right made such a stink about genital inspections and bathrooms?

No, I think I'm far enough on the left to be aware of capitalist propaganda. In all fairness to you, my statement did not treat the subject with the appropriate nuance the subject should require.

The DDR was socialist. However, it was state socialism, which in my opinion is not ideal and not something we should strive to replicate. Yes, the means of production were "owned by the people," but the state tasks itself with protecting the people. And therein lies the problem with state socialism - the state is easily commandeered by a corrupt minority who then uses the governmental apparatus to run an authoritarian regime. Precisely what happened in the DDR and the USSR.

We should be able to recognize the imperfections in prior socialist attempts, without immediately calling it "capitalist NGO propaganda."

Even the DDR wasn't doing socialism. The public had to be all-in the idea, or they were discredited or arrested. It was an authoritarian autocracy acting in the name of socialism.

Lol. Nice erasure of the existence of McCarthyism.

Communism pwnd itself bruh - shit sucked so hard they didn't need Anti-Propaganda like:

Is This Tomorrow? America under communism!!

Shit was so bad, that the US didn't need to run any covert operations to subvert, discredit, arrest, jail, or even, allegedly, assassinate the prominent figures and leaders of progressive, socialist, and communist movements -- I mean, if they did, they certainly wouldn't have called it COINTELPRO. It'd be a dumb name anyway.

Pfft

"If you can dodge taxes, you can dodge a ball"

Bro probably has his w4 withholdings set to take minimal tax out, but his liabilities are higher - then cries at tax time when he owes money.

To be fair to people with legitimate celiac disease - many factories process multiple products and don't have to disinfect and sterilize their equipment between products. They may run wheat one day and rice the next. If they don't treat the equipment with a disinfectant certified to eliminate proteins, the rice may pick up gluten from the equipment.

If they state they are gluten free, it (should) mean that they are taking necessary steps to isolate or clean their lines.

Are you glad because I'm not very inventive, or because my description demonstrates I'm disturbed?

And I have so many additional questions.

  1. Do they feed this secretion to the live young?
  2. If yes, wouldn't that technically make them mammals?
  3. Is the milk harvested before or after live birth?
  4. If before, where is egg/larva sack, anatomically?
  5. If in abdomen, how separate are these organs - in other words, are we talking like milk sack, reproductive sack - stick the needle filter too far one way and you've missed the milk and got larvae - or is it like a liquefied mess in there, and that's why they need the filter?

I can go on, but man this is weird...

Did you not see the video of the guy wearing his new tim apple ski goggles, in his semi-self driving Tesla cyber truck?

What makes you think people can behave?

I'm not really sure what point you're making, but really do appreciate the documentary shared.

I look at this in the same way that I deal with dementia patients. Oh wow, that's very interesting, hey I think "price is right" is on TV, let's get you to the couch, and I'll go get your lunch.

Why are we letting illogical opinion carry the same weight as tenured legal expertise and documented objective evidence?
