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.

Wait until he finds about the big room full of brass pipes feeding oxygen and nutrients to the brain of J Edgar Hoover, from where he is still running absolutely everything.

Okay, can I die now? I don't wanna live in this kind of world.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I don't like being alive, I already didn't, but I like it less now. I crave the afterlife.

It is a ~10 years old meme from reddit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

It’s an old meme. I don’t entirely get it in the context of this thread, but then again I’m also old and stopped being hip years ago.

I believe in non-linear reincarnation. I hope I come back sometime before technology. Maybe even not as a human. I need a break cycle.

Vaccines are evolution at work. So long as they work, you live longer and have a higher chance of reproducing. This is not a difficult concept. My genetic line is going on as long as I can throw it.

Is their logo "uwu" or is it the shrug emoticon?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 minutes ago

I imagine it like "if you are stupid enough to buy this dont know what to do with you" kind of shrug

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

Looks like cock and balls to me.

Looks like udders to me. The deep state has been cows all along!

wouldn't surprise me, antivax movement has a strong association with the raw milk cheesebreathers.

"Warrior Essentials"

"Spike Gangsters"

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 minutes ago (1 children)

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"

Seems like something the Ninja Turtles would need.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 7 hours ago

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.

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.

[–] Jyek 15 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

That freak show might actually believe the shit he spews.

He may, he may not, but the brain worm does, and he's given to its will.

Refugee Application: Yes, belonging to my home country risks personal harm

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 minutes ago

Although you have to admit, it is near impossible to get such a perfect dream team of scammers elsewhere.

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago

It was considered sweeping when 31% of Americans voted for Trump

[–] [email protected] 53 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Shedders? Do these people think vaccines are contagious?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 hours ago

they should wear a mask, so they don't catch it

Gotta love people who don’t want to take a vaccine that was designed by the absolute top experts in the field and extensively tested, but have no problem popping pills some grifter on the interweb sold them.
