been saying this. so tired of the “and how many of them got the jab” comments in most places being used as some weird kind of gotcha, as if there wasn’t already news of people in their 20’s getting heart attacks or having chronic illnesses long before covid.

we grew up on so much BPA™️ (and non-BPA™️) plastics, tons of preservatives, poor/shady quality food, possible antibiotic overuse. this month i learned that if the mother has lead in her body (those of us with boomer parents ig), the first born actually leaches most of it out of the mother’s body (something about the baby needing calcium and the body can’t differentiate between calcium and lead? i can’t remember the specifics). a lot of us have spent a majority of our lives in trauma mode with parents who did not know how to regulate their emotions, plus 9/11 and the recessions. we were told to work hard and we would be successful, we worked hard and ended up in poverty and then we got bullied for it. stress, trauma, and poverty ages the body and can lead to chronic illnesses. which we can’t afford to get treated, or on the off-chance we can, we’re often so gaslighted by doctors that by the point we finally get a diagnosis, irreversible damage has been done. and then we’re either not allowed to heal because we have to work to stay alive, or if we can’t work, we still can’t heal because we don’t have the money to access the resources needed to heal + the constant stress of poverty worsening the illnesses. i could probably go on…

but sure red hat pedo worshippers. you’re right. it’s the jab.

The US, the place where its intentional that everyone can have as many guns as they want. That has cultivated the self image of rising up against oppression and creating a free state.

That place seems incapable of changing their system to the better, as if people are all passive observers, standing in the fire and telling themselves "at least it's warm".

If these people are incapable of taking care of themselves, throwing of the growing oppression, changing the system that grinds them down, how would anyone else stand up against their government if the same process happens?
