Was it worth it, brave briton?

Because people don't trust the pharmaceutical industry. Whether they're right to is a different conversation but the starting point is that they just don't.

edit: I'm more awake now and can make a full point lol. Basically the way we combat homeopathy and other unscientific medical practices is not solely through education but with trust and access. People need to be able to trust pharma. Education means knowing that the pharma pill you're taking is going to fix your arteries. Trust is that you know it's going to do only that and you're not gonna suffer from a stroke in 5 years because of that one time you had to take it.

The second component is access. Homeopathic remedies might not be the cheapest out there (depends where you get them) but they also promise to fix everything with no side effects (obviously since they don't contain any medication). It's kind of a good deal then.

People look at the pill bottle and they don't think "I need this to survive" they think "oh shit here we go again". When they look at the homeopathic pill they think "nice, I get to take this". But I don't think it's a psychological thing as much as it's simply the pharma industry destroying its own reputation in the chase of profits. You can't really trust anything Bayer says after they knowingly distributed HIV-infected blood bags. Even if they invented panacea nobody would trust them.

Important public men like yourself are not “common men”. Of course, history alone can show how important this or that public man has been; at all events, you do not look at the world as a “common man”.

Do you think it was at this moment Wells knew he fucked up

At first I was like holy shit but upon reading, it's very different from what the headline makes you imagine. DPRK destroyed roads on their side of the border that connect to ROK through the DMZ. It's a defensive measure that signals they don't intend to use the roads either for the foreseeable future.

Wishing her gold after what she endured.

being gay is bad, amirite fellow liberal?

Winning behaviour is when you antagonize a third of the world's population lmao

Reported for being "clearly propaganda" 🤓

(notice they don't dare say it publicly in the comments)

Liberals (passive supporters of capitalism) only have two responses when they meet something that conflicts with their worldview: either they pretend it doesn't exist or, if they are forced to reckon with the fact that it does, they will bend over backwards to try and prove that it's not actually what it says. See how the USSR wasn't "real communism" -- something only liberals say, I have never heard a communist ever say that.

They are in the first phase right now, where they can pretend I'm wrong and not describing reality. Thus they retain the moral high ground as described in the post.

In a way I want to laugh, but then I remember that the way they got these men to recruit wasn't by will; they forcibly kidnapped them off the streets.

When have "libertarians" ever won a physical fight anywhere lol. We have actual revolutionaries who fought on the frontlines like Che and Castro, Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Mao.

you have this goofy cartoon
