      That is the most disheartening part. I didn’t build American Hegemony, nor was I victim of it, but damn it if there wasn’t a chance we could have collectively come to our senses and practiced what our constitution preaches. There was a path forward to that “Star Trek” future in my eyes.

        Star Trek had a massive nuclear war before the idyllic future we see in the show, seems we’re pretty on track actually

          It has been like a year or two since I have seen it, but what am I not getting?

          One of my favorite parts of the entire movie was how it was literally a propaganda film with the advertisement for the televised execution.

          I will say, your post should have had:

          Would you like to know more?

          Because my answer would be yes

        Remember that star trek too had WWIII around this time, before they got to their senses

        Then again, its a show, of course, but it’s a good example to aspire to

      It seems a certain portion of this country are completely unreachable by logic or reason. Virtually all of those types seem to be unshakable fans of Taco.

      Watching conversations like those on The Necessary Conversation where they talk to their conservative parents is…wild.

        I’m not too sure about that… yeah, there are those that are completely lost in limbo and won’t ever get out of it, but I’ve seen loads of cracks in the Maga base for months now. I’m wondering how much more those people are willing to take.

    This administration is directly increasing mortality and morbidity. How do we bring a class action lawsuit, from the entire world against this administration.

    A senior HHS official said on Thursday that the WHO “strayed from its core mission and has acted contrary to the U.S. interests in protecting the U.S. public on multiple occasions.”

    The U.S. has interests in protecting the U.S. public? News to me, citation needed.

    The cons have always been idiots about world organizations, but I think Covid completely broke their brains when it came to issues of health.

    The anti-vaccine bullshit combined with unhinged nativism and conspiracy theories about Fauci and Wuhan, etc…

    And now we have a complete dumbass like RFK jr trying to deny Americans vaccines and push even more protein onto Americans.

    JFC.

      In 2020 Daszak was named by the World Health Organization as the sole U.S.-based representative on a team sent to investigate the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

      An open letter co-authored by Daszak, signed by 27 scientists and published in The Lancet on 19 February 2020, stated: “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin…and overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife.”

      In May 2024 the United States Department of Health and Human Services suspended all federal funding for Daszak and the EHA, saying that he did not properly monitor research activities at the WIV and failed to report on their high-risk experiments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Daszak
