No, that’s not what I was saying. I’m saying it’s the popular talking point because it’s the ones GMO companies like Monsanto often choose to address in PR moves because it’s easy to debunk.
Reread what I said, I’m not saying GMOs are bad for you. I’m agreeing with you. I’m saying it’s all the other things you mentioned that are the real reason these companies deserve to be scrutinized.
All this fear of Russian propaganda but nobody in the US government talks about the localized corporate propaganda that’s a far bigger threat to the US and the world at large.
Bernie and AOC used to, but Bernie seems to have given up, and AOC is looking out for her career now. Tulsi Gabbard used to too but I don’t even know what her deal is anymore.
Seriously, the health thing has been pushed by GMO companies themselves. They created an easy straw man to debunk so that they don’t have to address the actual issues that GMO products, which are much more sinister to me.
Controlling food production in such a draconian way should send you straight to jail, forever.
Ah yeah. It’s been since the early 2000’s that I’ve even heard that song lol
They may be a stupid idea but they sure look cool
Wake me up inside? The beautiful people?
Is it something by Evanescence or Marilyn Manson?
Like My Immortal or something?
You give love a bad name?
What irritates me is that I know whatever Ben Shapiro said on his show every week because the exact same words come out of people I know’s mouths that week. It’s such low effort, easily identified propaganda. I don’t understand why it works so well. Like I don’t get it at all.
The radicalization towards the right is what disturbs me the most. I am a blue collar working class person from a small town in a very conservative province, and I don’t understand at all how everything that’s happened has not radicalized people overwhelmingly towards left wing economics.
I blame most of it on culture war bullshit honestly, but a large part of me is just disappointed in how overwhelmingly stupid and easily manipulated a lot of my friends and family seem to be. The writing is on the wall as far as I can tell. I read a lot of books on economics and history and politics, and I don’t expect everyone to do that, but even before I got into reading about that shit I could tell that something was very wrong with how right wing pundits pushed their shit. It irritates me to no end having to explain these things in person to people I otherwise respect, see them talk about it and internalize it, and then two days later see them devolve right back into the same right wing propagandized mentality. Idk man, it’s disheartening.
Yeah I mean, I know why.
But it should be obvious to people when they see stuff like this and the heritage fund and other similar groups that it’s obvious propaganda efforts from the elites, and you think that alone would push people left.
But often times it doesn’t. And I don’t know how to fix that.
…what? People shame others for drinking and smoking all the time. Bad example.
