    Then I get to the fifth thing, and I realize “holy shit, this guy is just actually insane”. It recontextualises the first 4, because if you get rid of highly processed food by killing the FDA people are just going to get straight up poisoned. And the mental health retreat turns into a work camp if it’s no longer completely voluntary

    I think he still wants raw milk to be a thing, for fuck’s sake. I don’t know if he’s moved on that at all, given seeing headlines like “guy gives his cats raw milk and kills them with bird flu” type of thing. Maybe even Brainworms is not THAT tone deaf, but who the hell knows.

      You’re commenting on an article about how he tried to stop the covid vaccine in the midst of the pandemic that killed over a million Americans. He is exactly that tone deaf

        I’m just saying when someone gives their cat raw milk and then the cat dies as a consequence because of bird flu…is a lot more visceral and the FAFO is a lot more apparent than the kind of experience many of his dipshit followers had and are having when it comes to the Covid vaccine.

        Being given lots of stats and facts about how many people donvict killed and how many lives the vaccine saved is more something “over there” and can be countered with, “yeah, but I didn’t get the vaccine and it’s just like the flu anyway, man”, or “so and so died of a heart attack and they had the CLOT SHOT, you guys!”

        These people tend to use emotional reasoning for a lot of their thought processes. People tend to have emotional attachments to pets. Hearing about hundreds of thousands of Americans on life support and/or dying from “just the flu” can be shrugged off because “preconditions” like age, weight, diabetes, and so on.

        Even so, maybe RFK jr thinks about eating cats (I think he’s ruled out eating humans, monkeys, and dogs, is he not merciful? Everything else: on the menu, though, apparently) and doesn’t really give a fuck about cats dying from raw milk.
