I truly want to know if these people are brain dead zombies.

Why are vaccines a problem then? Let me tune into earth's 5G signals baby!

I too say dumb shit when I'm high, I never thought I could get a high level government job for saying dumb shit while high.

"Well Mr. Doe, I'm afraid it's bad news. We found a mass in your chest, it looks like pancreatic cancer."

"Oh no, so what will we do about that? Will I get radiation, or chemo?"

"I'll be prescribing you a set of positively charged aura crystals, just spend some time near them every day, and let them charge under moonlight at night. I've also scheduled you a time with our resident chiropractor, he'll try to realign your chakras. Until then you could also try to stay away from Virgos."

We're all laughing but next up guys sort of shit will be picked up by US pharmaceutical companies who crank up the cost of s good chakra cleansing to the point where nobody can afford them without going bankrupt, then what are we going to do?

I'd much rather the new age movement align with the right and make them be the ones who look stupid by association. Do not want to make room in the tent for that shit, thanks.

If the future of medicine is light then I don't want to see any of you MAGAt morons in a hospital or doctors office. Go sit outside and pray away your sickness in the sunlight, dumbasses.

Let them proceed

No you read it all wrong, this is about getting government vibrators to everyone. Set it on high and talk to God.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago

Good, good. Now convince MAGA folks to drink the koolaid together…

Weeelll, humans are out of touch with the Earth and we are depleting it's life force. I spend a great deal of time in several ecosystems, have some education in general science, botany, biology, etc., and a great deal on interest in all life sciences.

I think about this a lot, and don't want to write a wall of depressing shit, but our ecosystems have changed drastically since I was a wee lad in the 70s. And nobody notices! When I point out a given fact to people my age, they're clearly taken aback, had not thought about it. "Remember when cleaning bugs off your windshield was a common task?"

I can go on for an hour, but all is see is death, or rather an absence of life. If I could teleport a 20-something to the 70s, they would freak out over the abundance and variety of animals, in the city. We had more mammals in my mid-town Tulsa hood than I see on the edge of town in NW Florida. Again, I'm outside a lot, I'm looking.

Walking around outside Aldi yesterday I was looking at the perfect grass. Where most see a well kept lawn, all I saw was a barren desert. How much insecticide and herbicide did it take to make that perfect monoculture? Money says you couldn't dig an earthworm out of that "soil". Know how I used to find worms? Pick a random spot of dirt and dig for a whole minute. Now I don't even see them crawling around after a rain.

Another random fact: Global warming has ponds drying up in the summer that didn't dry up even 10-years ago. Dragonflies take 2-years to mature underwater. Put that together and enjoy all the mosquitoes.

Good news! My efforts have brought frogs back to my yard. They were deafening last night! Hoping to have mature dragonflies next year, or barring that, 2-years from now after I get the 150g pond set up.

(I know that's not what she's talking about, just had to get a bit off my chest.)

A tangent, but I do wonder about all the people that played Final Fantasy 7 and just didn't get any of the pro-environment message. The protagonists are literally eco terrorists who blow shit up to stop the antagonist corporation from bleeding the planet dry.

It's like people who listen to rage against the machine and don't take any politics away.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

I wish more people had your perspective

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

Literally talking to my wife today about how bugs on the bumper/windshield isn’t a thing anymore in 90% of places. It’s sad. Like you, all I see is death.

So who's gonna propose we bring back leeching and lobotomies first, this lady or captain brain worm?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

RFK's family is familiar with lobotomies.

I know this isn’t quite the same but I’m getting Heavens Gate vibes. Not good.

Anybody who speaks about spiritual nonsense in conjunction with health matters is a quake and should NOT be surgeon general. Then again an anti-vaxxer is in charge of the CDC so I'm not surprised at that this point.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

anti-vaxxer, brainworms controlling a human meat suit. and then a snakesoilman controlling medicare and medicad.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

is she talking about global warming and people fucking up the nature? Isn't that like extremely woke?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 36 minutes ago

It's woke until she gets to the "solution".

People laughed when leftists talked about the yoga studio to fascism pipeline…

In all seriousness this is utterly fucked.

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

Brown Esotericism was always a thing in Germany, there's a german wikipedia page about it, psiram wiki has a chapter about "National Socialism and extremist right groups today" on their page about Esotericism.

This has been going on since the Third Reich and is one of the pipelines to bring economically better off people into right wing rethoric and thought patterns.

The herbal remedies / yoga / crystal gems people were always selling snake oil. No surprise that they'd get along with Trump. (Which is not to say all herbal remedies are worthless, but many are, and if you don't believe me, have fun getting scammed. And yoga can do a lot for your fitness, yes yes, we agree.)

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, there’s a big difference between “this herb has some naturally occurring anti-inflammatory compounds” and “this berry is a cure for cancer and lupus and the common cold.”

Regarding yoga, stretching and bodyweight exercises are definitely a good part of fitness, but the mystical side of it is complete horseshit.

I remember seeing a doTERRA ad some hon had put up at a Mexican restaurant. In English it said normal stuff about how aromatherapy helps with mood, maybe a vaguely defined "energy levels" but no legally defined health claims. En español it was literally claiming that the doTERRA oils could cure cancer!

Naomi Klein talks about this in Doppelgänger, and it’s really interesting. She argues, compellingly, that the yoga/spirituality/wellness types were never so much truly left-wing as they were counter to the medical establishment. Which wasn’t inherently harmful - yoga and meditation are good, and modern medicine doesn’t solve every problem. But then COVID came along, and it stripped away all the control these people felt they had over their health. And then it became revealed that they were never so much far-left as they were far out.

the current yoga is a white womans assumption that they can connect witht he universe, its basically co-opted from the religion from india, which is a different thing and turned into a huge industry for targeting mostly woman of a certain demographic.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

This is pure comedy. Let's point and laugh at them until they go away

[–] [email protected] 83 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My mom died last year because she thought she could treat her cancer by "resonating with the world's vibration." Fuck this woman, and fuck the people who decided to put her in charge of healthcare.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

certain demographics are very into the cult of homeopathy and naturopathy, and pseudoscience. its usually woman in thier mid 40s, and midwesterners. Chronic lyme is one, i once ventured into communities across various site. they all have undiagnosed mental illnesses, delusional parasitosis(they deny they have it).

they were taking supplements and antibiotics to the point of causing serious symptoms unrelated to the actual infection.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Same thing here. Grandmother and uncle (early 40s) Blake, you died nearly two years ago now. The herbs and vitamin C were never going to save you. Cindy, not even a year yet. I can feel nothing but sadness and sorrow for the way they were decieved.
