The importance of decentralization is that it prevents monocultures from strangling the ecosystem and causing collapses. AKA it helps prevent the boom/bust cycle in capitalism (monoculture) ecosystems. Which you touch on.

the problem is more that these departments have repeatedly lied about and continued to allow the use of dangerous substances which eroded the trust with the public. This gave individuals like RFK the ounce of truth they needed to undermine them.
' can totally be researched on without their consent'
'PFAs are perfectly safe!' (when used appropriately, and discarded after N years both of which never happen),
'Mercury fillings are safe!' (because we can't actually measure the damage they do accurately enough to decouple it from natural damage, but they're not actually safe),
'Weed has no medical uses.' (because we wouldnt allow it to be studied, turns out its very medically useful).
'mdma/shrooms have no medical uses!' (turns out they're great at treating depression and a host of neurological conditions)
'artificial food colorings are safe!' (turns out they're not and we've known it for years)
'trans fats are safe!' (they werent).
'you dont need to wear masks to protect from covid' (turns out we needed to wear masks)
the list goes on and on. and in each case where we finally got these organizations to do whats best for the american populace at the expense of corporations it has taken a monumental effort despite the data basically being very clear or unambiguously safer alternatives being available.
But each time a person suffers and learns about these things it puts another set of nails in the coffin for whether a randomly selected member of the population trusts them or not leading to people like RFK being able to take advantage of the mistrust.
what you're seeing now is the end result of these kinds of situations happening repeatedly. The hilarious part is RFK is probably going to accidentally do good over the long term by getting rid of the artificial food coloring finally. and if we successfully avoid this fascist regime from taking root (unlikely at this point given americans passivity) vaccine and such will come roaring back.
Wont happen unless there is an actual pro worker party.
They enshrined the 2nd amendment for a reason. but for now its enough to do simple things like:
- boycott / disrupt any local companies that aid and abed ICE/national guard/armed forces. grocery stores/hotels/restaurants. etc.
- disrupt these peoples ability to sleep.
- repeat the above for any federal agents in your state who are carrying out trumps agenda.
more people reply so I can upvote this thread harder.
I'll tell you once you put the lotion on the skin.
Damn someone is really torn up over their flap.
Think what you will. But the evidence to the contrary is fairly obvious one simply has to look at how various instances interact.
