I was in my early 20s and it definitely was a moment when I realized things weren’t what they seemed. I also fell for the narrative for a bit. Then a couple years later when it was revealed that the WMDs in Iraq were made up it started to all make sense. This country operates the highest, most advanced form of propaganda and corruption. It’s how it stays in power.

I also believe this is what Israel is going through now. Leveraging primal blood lust to justify what being committed. No wonder the US is supportive.

notice the quotes around the word? That wasn't an accident.

This is like saying that a penis and a "vagina" are the same thing because they are both sex organs that you pee from... You're not technically wrong but most people would agree there is a pretty big difference between the two.

Very true, however that fact seems to support the idea that those who seek wealth are from families who also sought wealth, and it may be, in many cases, that it is a genetic predisposition. Which also supports the idea that it’s possible that this could be a mental illness passed generationally. We just don’t attribute the behavior to mental health due the cultural conditioning that wealth is good.

I mean no one thinks eating, and eating consistently and reliably is bad, but when you see someone eating everything they can get their hands on, most people would agree that’s bad. Obese children are often born into obese families…

I think this is more of a correlation != causation issue. I think it’s more likely that the kinds of people who have the traits to seek obscene wealth also tend to be people with a higher probability for mental health issues.

IMO to be driven to collect as much power and money as possible is harmful to both one’s self and those around you.

As a middle aged white man I have nothing to say in the subject of discrimination of natural hair on any woman let alone Afro-Boricuas women, except for I hope this shit ends soon. I have always thought any woman looks best as their natural self.

Also while I agree that many parts of the world have resorted to the tactic of “killing you softly” through poverty and marginalization, I would add that this has been expanded to pretty much all skin colors, as debt slavery is so hot right now. It’s all the rage in the class Cold War that is occurring in every nation. Because if there’s a legal loophole to get away with greed, the greedy will find a way to exploit it.

You are not making sense here. Please try to clarify your point because it seems to be disconnected from the comment you are responding to.

I don't know about that. Her medical issues was like 6 years ago, I think what your seeing is she has matured and has a very different perspective on what's important in life. She seems happy and doing well, she's just older and isn't being as silly and giggly as she was in the beginning.

Dad! come now, I told you 15 minutes ago it was time for bed.

The smarter version of a dumb idea is still a dumb idea. No one is advocating seriously for any of this because of the obvious flaws.

The smarter version of this idea is the turn signal comes on automatically in the direction you turn.

I was curious if what I had been told had any reference online, a quick search did turn up this post which pretty much says the same:
