I don't really believe in herbalism personally, maybe with limited exceptions. Chewing an aromatic plant may help temporarily with bad breath, a strong enough natural drug that is easy enough to extract might temporarily help against pain, or help to escape reality, but when so, these are generally also very toxic in the quantities needed to have an effect (even alcohols, it's also why in modern medicine we keep discovering and using better targetting molecules and rarely resort to 1st generation antipsychotics or pain killers for instance)...

Anything thick enough to be bacteriostatic can help a little on a wound, but those who used honey for that didn't understand why, also assumed that its consumption does the same, etc. Then of course, in traditional systems, the tenets are weak, so the claimed relationship between why a particular plant might be useful and the organ or condition, are often actually false (i.e. the humors system is long discredited, the traditional chinese medicine system is flawed, homeopathy is nonsense)...

On the other hand I can agree up to some point too, instincts and intuition are better than nothing: when we're thirsty or hungry we know what to do and then get rewarded by wellbeing. Some researchers also evaluate how attention alone can help to comfort patients no matter if the medicine is effective...

Lucien Mars #crackpot #ufo #magick #conspiracy

I'm sure that science doesn't know everything about reality yet, and I never will. But I know enough to evaluate that your claims are not what will allow me to know more, only to revert back to how I was confused by religion when younger. But that's no longer possible, thanks to much more reliable knowledge that I would need incredible evidence to reject. Not claims by crackpots...

John Zerzan #crackpot

So this also means no medicine, mostly non-working fake-medicine instead, perhaps a little medicine left. Bad water, parasites, bad teeth, high infant mortality, short life expectancy. High pollution exposition from makeshift fires, fireplaces and dwellings, poor waste management, etc. Probably low to no education, tribal isolation and infighting, plus superstitions to promote more of it. High inequality is also not resolved by this way of life. Anyone around who doesn't do the same is also generally more powerful.

Apparently it happens at times and places in crisis that some groups flee and fall back to a similar state (there are little to no original "primitive" groups today).

But also problematic is that while it may be nice to go live differently, especially temporarily if you have the ability to come back, advocating for the whole society to change also means fighting against society. Many radicalized groups continue to fight against it for whatever reason and they rarely have good enough justifications, so are unable to convince the rest to follow them. This also means that some of them want to resort to force. Some go as far as terrorism...

Dr. Schavi M. Ali #crackpot #ufo #magick #quack #dunning-kruger

The word “vibration” is defined as “tone”, “quality”, oscillation”, or “movement”.
The word “frequency” refers to the “rate at which something vibrates”—slow, medium, or quickly.

Like "energy" of esoterists, as generic as possible, so one can oversimplify anything in the doctrine with not only confirmation bias but motivated twisting.

Science is reductionist, but that's an overzealous pseudoscientific magic system where the world is made to fit in a dogmatic model. Incidentally, yesterday I was reading "The Scientific Method" subchapter in Protero's "The Evolving Earth". Simple and for lay people and it summarizes decently scientific reasoning and its processes, not exactly how Ali works for idealism and magical thinking...

I'll just highlight this one because of the incredible hypocrisy involved:

Are you America First? Which border will you protect? Will you work for the American people or the rest of the world?

So since the "America First" slogan/brand is only an identity politics label for this kind of extremism, just like for MAGA, it also means that it's ok for a US-ruling dictator to be the puppet of a non-democratic country's dictator. Nothing to do with protecting the border or working for the American people, which is just frivolous "us and them" accusation rhetoric for fear mongering, a basis of far-right radicalization.

And that's just like the QAnon call: "Are you ready to fight for your country?" but that actually was rehashed old anti-government extremism to promote domestic terrorism and neo-nazism.

Who cares about an infamous crackpot and renown disinformant's "hypothesis"? If you had something substantial and any competence on the matter, you'd be publishing in a reputed relevant scientific journal, not constantly pushing false propaganda on social networks. And dubious preprints never count, except for misrepresentation and concern troll uncertainty propaganda, your business.

The Lake Arrowhead LGBTQ spoke out about the shooting, saying though Carleton didn't identify as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, she spent her time helping and advocating for everyone in the community.

Only highlighting this, because it's what many sensible people do. They don't have to personally be LGBTQ+ to understand and support the importance of human rights and freedom. Not what extremists call freedom, the real thing.

False, but interestingly, Trump scams people claiming persecution when he faces responsibility for his crimes and some fall for it and donate. So is your "above-everything transpeople" disinformation straw man to distract from such facts? Other than gratuitous hate speech, of course.

Is Christianity true?

The religion exists along with many conflicting denominations and cults. Some of its tenets may be true, like for any tradition.

Are other religions false?

Same as the above. Christianity is neither the first nor the last, the same for the deities in Abrahamic tradition. Many Christians believe in and promote falsehoods as well.

Do other religions lead people to eternal damnation?

As far as can be assessed, none can lead to salvation or to damnation but all entertain these concepts, centered around the fear of death, xenophobia, classism and the justification of false authorities.

Should other religions be tolerated publicly?

All should be, or your favorite version of Christianity may very well end up being suppressed by other Christians as well. The suppression of religion in general would also affect a number of other areas that rogue authorities may define as such for their own benefit. On the other hand, none of the abuses and crimes done in the name of religion should have a special pass. Anyone can justify anything on false authorities. It does not make them, or their crimes, right.

Fixed.

I hate to break anyone’s bubble.

Have you ever tried to escape yours? It must be lonely there, outside of reality... It also sounds scary, to be so affraid of ever touching the ground, with the demonization of everything. You may want to read about radicalization and segregation. Not a new thing, it happens and some people manage to recover.

The laws of Russia reflect his personal beliefs (previously, trans people couldn’t legally have driver’s licenses, because they were “clearly” too dysfunctional to be able to drive), and the personal beliefs and/or whims of a single dictatorial leader are not an actual justification for anything.

Well said. Like that your ideal as a young Russian should be to die in Ukraine...

How can you deny that for which there is no evidence whatsoever and could not be predicted plausibly? Not accepting mere claims is not denial, just like not following the rules of an illegitimate self-claimed authority is not rebellion. If you want to speak of denialism, if you're a Young Earth Creationist, then we can begin to explain why it is denial, to begin by showing the strong evidence for an old Earth, etc.

So other than using words out of context, once they come out, everytime you see them and everytime you see a reference to their name, you become in a irrational, strong emotional state? I could understand an effect of surprise, perhaps even a shock at first, if it was sudden. Shouldn't it settle, especially when noticing that the person is happier for finally moving on about their true expression? Weren't you already aware anyway, which is likely if you are close?

This reminds me of the panic: awareness of breast existence equals trauma. Another: awareness of racism equals anti-white racism. False claims and premises, slippery slope fallacies, etc.

The acorn's task is to fulfill its purpose and become a tree. The caterpillar's task is to fulfill its purpose and become a butterfly. The eaglet's task is to fulfill its purpose and become an eagle.

This argument marked a fall in fallacious teleology where no intention actually exists and the rest had nothing to do with science or the discovery of reality.

But yes, the discovery of reality is a difficult process. Humanity's window in reality is small and that window only significantly opened in recent history. Some people want that progress to retrograde when discoveries do not conform to their idealistic doctrines. It's easy to dismiss it all, until reality hits you back in the face. Like if you manage to convince yourself that you can counteract gravity with your mind and jump from too high...

If that's what you want, I can call you nazi and anti-government extremist. I'm not sure if you'll find it degrading.

"I know a secret they don't want you to know" is a typical conspiracy theorist lie. If those evil all-powerful, all-controlling people wanted to suppress you, you'd not be allowed to constantly post those old claims anyway, right? Instead of being insane fabulations exposing yourself as a conspiracy theorist, the "truth" would be compromising to them. And strangely, we've heard those claims often and long enough that there's obviously no special revelation involved here. Well, it keeps revealing a lot about you.

And they'll face the consequences of having eroded human rights themselves and living under a dictatorship who cannot tolerate criticism and forces them to swallow their disinformation everywhere. How ironic.

You don't want children, and people in general, to be protected from your insanity conditionment propaganda, anywhere? Platforms regulating content for their audience is normal. Sometimes people want peace instead of war, too, you can't force them into your fabricated conflict nonsense and hate speech everywhere.

Save the Children Convoy #conspiracy #crackpot #fundie #homophobia #transphobia #quack #wingnut

What about saving the children by sparing them your extremist idiocy and pollution? If you care about them, why not donate to renowned funds helping mothers and children in need, including refuges they need when trying to escape actual abuse, versus your false panic conspiracy theories? Targetting people you don't like is not about freedom. Fighting education is not about freedom but is a common recipe for fascism and pushing fear mongering conspiracy theories about education is part of that process. Fighting public health management is not about helping society, but about retrogradation. At least admit that you're not about freedom or protecting children, something society managed to do before your radicalization in extremism.

The way against exploitation and low wage jobs is education and a diverse healthy economy. A more healthy society also means less crime and police. Flipping burgers can be a temporary part time student job instead of ruling one's life. Irrational racist whining will not help anything, grow up.

Religions are often used to manipulate, but you're a prime example of just that, hypocrite... Humans haven't been destroying the planet for "millions of years" either, it's not only a lie, but ignorance. Just like your false premise where we're supposed to swallow that you're speaking for other "beings", imaginary.

Is the Caldron Pool site reporting about them, or pushing their disinformation? Because the only other FSTDT featured post seemed to be reporting about an "Islamist eugenist", which may very well have been selected for Islamophobic propaganda. Both are hot topics for far-right trolling... Thanks.

The West became obsessed with destabilising the situation inside Russia, initially along its borders. For this, they sponsored outright Russophobia in the countries of the former Soviet Union. The next stage in their plan was to draw Russia into a series of conflicts and “colour revolutions”[…]

Complete disinformation, and a mirror. When looking deeper, even Putin's propaganda admits that it aims to destabilize, what historians have been witnessing. Of course, the consequences of that and of conflict however also bring trouble back home, especially when there's a defeat and it is not admitted. When for years, the Russian people too are misled and their lives and future destabilized as a result of the regime's aggressions. Their freedom is suppressed, they must keep in private what they know and suffer in silence, because when they complain they face oppression. And here's more evidence of complete disregard, in this false domestic propaganda. If domestic conflict happens, there are tangible reasons.

@Timjer #173724

Well said, it's also the same with authoritarian cults, blurring the distinction between claimed divine intention and the personal interests of the leader(s). When the Watchtower sells a Kingdom Hall built and paid by volunteers for profit, it's "Jehovah's decision" and when it protects sex abusers it's "to protect the reputation of God's organization".

Here "America" and "the people" is whatever floats Trump's boat as long as it's the road to corruption for his own interests. Democracy, taxes, social services and justice are "the Deep State", true journalism is "fake news and the enemy of the people", etc.
