A controversial proposal from U.S Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to let bird flu naturally spread through poultry farms is raising alarms among scientists – who say the move could be inhumane and dangerous.

Man this hits home. I’m so sad that I feel like I get treated like a crazy person for actually talking intentionally I.e. for talking about things that are important to me and what I think is important to who I’m talking to, for choosing my words intentionally and not playing games and picking up or putting out coded implications in my speech, and not wasting time having lengthy conversations to nobodies benefits or worse, that are just causing harm. Setting boundaries has been an important part of surviving while staying as consistent with my values and beliefs as possible, but it gets so lonely and difficult and exhausting, I’m constantly on. If you look through my comment history you’ll see what I mean, I’m frequently leaving long replies requesting to connect with folks who seem to share interests or sometimes just I’m just making what I feel is an important point, and it seems like hardly anyone engages what I’m saying in good faith and actually hears me, and nobody at all actually reaches out
Yeah, I know the feeling. It is nice on the rare occasions that we get to meet like minded people in real life ( even on a lemmy thread !) and have genuine conversations that don’t feel like a chess match.
I myself worry that bringing up how some people have been or are being conditioned by advertising and the media of their choice is something they should even be made aware of. It is concerning but I don’t think it is a process that can be reversed.
I enjoy reading a long reply personally and am guilty myself ! Dont give up. Carry on fellow traveler ✌️
So which are you? Can you not be saved, it’s too late and can’t be reversed, or you’re just immune to the conditioning in the first place? ;)
It certainly can be reversed my friend, we’re doing it right now. Thank you for the kind words and feel free to reach out anytime for any reason (assuming good faith discussion)
