@moffintosh @icedquinn yeah, worst that will happen is millions of people will starve and the system will collapse, but they can do it and it wouldn't be the first time.

@icedquinn @moffintosh I wish. Human nature dictates that there will always be a percentage of people that will fall for the utopian promises and the contrarian joy of thinking they're smarter than everyone else by having opposite opinions, and will even believe some of the dumbest propaganda known to man and/or just make shit up to justify that to themselves.

The China shills are at least doing it for money, and being Chinese most of them probably secretly know how bullshit it is what they're propagating. The western commies that believe them are worse, doing it for free and truly believing it, spreading that mental parasite more successfully.

@icedquinn @moffintosh it's almost as if people don't want to work on the things that are actually needed and need some pressure, so every system that tries to get away from having to work to enjoy life ends up with having to work to not go to a gulag, funny that.

@moffintosh @icedquinn
>nooo you misunderstand, the wageslave life of 996 even worse than in any developed capitalist countries is fine because it's calculated by Marx teachings

Western commies simping for China is the wildest thing.

>capitalism is making us work too much, we need to change the system
>that other system has people work even more but it's ok because it's not capitalism
>sure it might be less efficient and result in worse quality of life but at least we can work more and lick the party's boots

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew and I assure you, you can find a lot of quack doctors that seem professional but push homeopathy. You have to dig very deep in the altmed cesspool to find something so ridiculous that this won't apply. It's basically a constant of society, wherever there's sickness there's altmed and wherever there's altmed there's quack doctors pushing it.

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew I don't see where any of this is putting words in your mouth. I have a general idea what "leaky gut" is about, it's about the same things as most other popular altmeds – claiming a nonsensical process (leaky gut lol, if it was actually leaky you'd be dying of sepsis) as guilty for a whole bunch of vague food-related issues in a way where you can blame any random thing on it and feel reassured when either pure placebo or coincidentally switching to a diet that's healthier for other reasons helps.

Homeopathy is similar, the core is obviously nonsense but if you do believe it and experience the placebo effects you can talk all about how it matches your knowledge about how medicine works and your experiences. It's more obvious (water memory lol), but that's about it, the modus operandi is the same.

@Aranjedeath @foone I had the reverse experience, tried Gentoo after Arch and was pleasantly surprised lol

@coolboymew @kirby

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew yeah, and they're as convinced that it's legitimate micro-biology as you are about the leaky gut thing. Altmeds are sneaky.

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew it's about as much micro-biology as the living blood droplet analysis under microscope people that point out random things and claim they're hostile bacteria or fungi. Both try to resemble actual micro-biology but would be massively worse problems than the typical for altmed superposition of quite bad and fixable by diet and supplements, were they true.

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew IIRC "leaky gut" is 100% bullshit, homeopathy-tier altmed.
