So, the real elephant in the room is that for the average worker, they are more productive (ie, working much harder) and under much, much more financial stress... which effects epigenetics
and... people are having children later in life, leading to children with more genetic defects (the average person has about 7 genetic defects, some people have more, some fewer)
in the 1950s, a man could work at a factory with a high school diploma, own a house, support a family, and have a wife as a full-time assistant at home
now both parents have to work, if there even are children, there may or may not be a house, and many are just single. people are under huge amounts of stress, and all of it effects epigenetics including via weaker bonds within families
bodies interpret stress as either "uh oh, i'm going to get kicked out of my tribe and will have to forage and hunt on my own and may die" or "there may be a famine soon"
the fact that the vitamin levels of food has gone down is a real thing, bodies remember things like that, and can be aware of the decrease, and start to prepare for famines
TLDR captialism without proper government regulation of externalities is making people fat along with higher populations and decreased vitamin levels in food due to over-farming
A comment on lemmy. Never need to read it, it will always have the same conclusion "capitalism bad". No matter the topic.
TL;DR of lemmy: capitalism bad, now you don't need to open the app at all.
Or you could read the full statement: "Capitalism without proper government regulation." But that's a lot of words, I get it.
To be honest I'm getting tired of electing people who promise to provide those rules only to watch the Capitalists get the green light to exploit us further.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

That's opening Pandora's box. We could end up with a White Christian Ethnostate as easily as we could get an Oligarchy or Market Socialism.
The White Christian Nationals are about to ascend in a few weeks. And the first thing they are trying to do is deport a bunch of people who are predominantly non white, depending on how scientificly hispanics are regarded.
And they seem to be following that up with some facist policies to favor the oliigarchs.
So if things play out according to their published playbook....
There's a difference between having some in government and having a government based on them.
Why would they deport slave labour?
I mean, it's true. Most people don't like The Game of Monopoly.
But the substance is in the nuance.
Oh look you read it, you just refuse to engage with it in good faith.
Let me guess.. These people with fewer genetic defects are superior?
Only if they have German descent.
\s (it's scandinavien descent actually \s \s )
Do you know how many dicks I've sucked?
I'm asking because I don't know... because it's so many that I've lost count of how many.
It's a lot of dicks.
Yes, you could read what I wrote about genetic defects and think "He could be referring to a typical genetic defect as an enzyme having a slightly different shape due to a random base substitution error, slowing down the rate of a cellular reaction necessary for lysosomes to function well..." but instead you were like... "I bet it's because he's into Hitler."
And it's true. Not only have I sucked lots and lots of dicks, and am a dude, and would have been gassed many times over by my great savior, who is in fact strangely and paradoxically Hitler, but I am also clearly into Hitler based on the fact that I categorize some genetic mutations which result in a loss of function as genetic defects, instead of a beautiful cornucopia of changes which may one day prove to be adaptive.
You are a very clever sleuth!
TLDR: capitalism bad
Going to a Nazi rally as a guy and sucking everyone's dick is such a power move, I applaud you!
Shockingly, and I say shockingly since I am obviously a racist since I characterize certain phenotypes as defective, I have never gone to a Nazi rally "as a guy" and sucked everyone's dick.
It seems like you are angry that I thought you were a racist when you said racist things. That's significant evidence and I don't regret it
You are baiting the commenter, them making shit up to fit into you idiotic world views.
Pathetic behavior tbh
Thx, u2
On a side note, I'm actually impressed by the number of posts of yours that have been removed by mods and your knowledge of machine learning. Are YOU impressed by the vast vast unquantifiable unidentifiable number of dicks I've sucked?
One?
One? lol, no way.... I stopped counting after it got into the double digits, but it's a lot. I used to say I had sucked fewer than 20 dicks, now I say it's less than an infinite number of dicks.
Also you are also misinterpreting my post as anger... but really my response was sexual arousal because I have a fetish for morons.
Yes, it happened once, but soon you will learn to count as a secondary mastery
riddle me this, ye illitirate one, how can i even be racist given the number of dicks I've sucked? it's impossible.
I'll prove to you how not racist and experienced I am with sucking dicks... if you'll let me...
Congratulations on the edgy sense of humor
I hear that a lot when my mouth is full of dicks.
Why would they say that when their dick(s) are in you?
because i also use sign language to convey my edgy sense of humor when my mouth is full of dicks
But no sane person says that to someone they are inside.
i’ll be sure to let all their psychiatrists know you believe this
No, thank you
does this mean you finally admit i'm not a racist?
You'll notice that I didn't do that and the rest might click for you then as well
I feel like I'd understand it a lot better if I were sucking your dick...
I know, but we're not that close yet
We would be much closer if I were sucking your dick...
What exactly did I say that was racist initially? All "races" have genetic defects. The average number of genetic defects is 7 and race doesn't even exactly exist in science because it's mostly a social construct. They are things like "intolerant to gluten" or "more susceptible to certain cancers" and they don't have an agenda. I hate anti-wokism, but calling me racist for my initial post is bat-shit ignorant. (Calling me racist slut for my second post, however... well... you got me there.)
Racists use genetic defects to imply superiority. That's why I asked. I got my reply, extreme anger. I'm satisfied there with that response like I said, it says much more than just saying it out loud
