Thank you!

np

I don’t think I could agree more.

I don’t know. It depends how relevant profit is. Walmart doesn’t sell the 1950s style garden nozzles that last forever because the plastic pieces of crap is what makes the most profit.

Seems like it.

That seems a lot like Reagan’s FCC guys eliminating the Fairness Doctrine on the premise that competition would ensure unbiased news. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairn … Revocation

Reagan pretty much caused what Trump now calls fake news lol

Google and youtube are now nearly 100% politically, and scientifically correct.

When I type anything remotely controversial in the search box, instead of receiving a plethora of controversial channels and websites criticizing the establishment like I used to, I get channels and sites trying to debunk their criticisms.
For example, if I type vaccines and autism, instead of getting loads of channels and sites claiming vaccines give your children autism, I either get sites refuting that claim, or just general info about vaccines.

They also limit the amount of results you get.
In the old days, if your search turned up 1 million results, you’d at least have the opportunity to explore each and every 1 of those 1 million results, now you’ll only be able to explore the top 100, or 1000 of those results, almost all of which are state controlled corporate funded.

Duckduckgo used to be alright, but recently they’ve been infiltrated by the corporate state, and they’ve decided to run it into the ground.
For example, when you do an image or video search, you only get a handful of results instead the hundreds or thousands you’d used to get.
Of course this’s self-sabotage and they know it, Duckduckgo has been hijacked, and is in the process of committing digital semboku, its goose is cooked.

I recommend Jive Search for an unadulterated exploration of the web:

That oughta piss off the trumptards =D>

Right, and the authoritarian, brainwashed, elitist sciencetards, who hate free markets, speech and thought, who’re unable to see science is in large part controlled by big business, big pharma and government, who’re incapable of formulating an opinion based on examining alternative research, collecting anecdotes and listening to their bodies, who’re incapable of exercising critical, independent thought, will be most pleased.

It should piss everybody off. Unless for some reason you think that corporations and those in power would never skew information or cover anything up. Or coming at it from another angle, that people should not be able to communicate freely.

Corporations would never lie. That would make consumers not trust them, then how would they sell their products?

Some liberals are skeptical of some or all aspects of political and corporate science too, but mainstream liberals and conservatives have of course gotten behind them, which’s part of what makes them mainstream.

Some liberals are into alternative medicine, diets, conspiracies and ‘new age’ beliefs and practices.

They’re skeptical of big pharma, GMO and scientific medicine.

=D> :handgestures-thumbup:

Alternative medicine is one area where bonds can form across right/left splits, at least in the US. Right wingers can feel it first as a principle - no government can restrict how I try to heal myself, I get to make my own errors - or because they are traditionalists and they had grandmothers and strange aunts who could in fact break fevers and make bones heal faster and they are not as afraid as some liberals of coming off as a believer of some kind. And lefties with their nature is good, skepticism about pharma, the FDA and corporate controlling of how we think about our bodies and healing, end up exploring alternative medicince, perhaps in touchy feely dreamy ways, but also through anal retentive science based naturopathy and more. So when at pharma’s behest the government tries to shut alternative medicine down suddenly people who would not agree on abortion, recent wars, hipsters, logging or any of a number of highly divisive issues can work together. If only they could each learn to spread out their skepticism about what power is saying to a more broad front.

There are hints of this, but not nearly enough.

Good points, a significant minority of liberals and conservatives question scientific medicine for similar, and different reasons, liberals because they distrust big business, which’s what scientific medicine has become, conservatives because they distrust authoritarianism, which’s also what it’s become, conservatives because many grew up in rural communities exposed to traditional western medicine, liberals because they’re less anthropocentric and are curious about traditional eastern medicine.

Sciencetards? :slight_smile: Thanks for the new word to succinctly encapsulate the idea that “smart people are stupid” that plagues the trumptards. That’s essentially it and they’re not ashamed to admit it.

Talent on the left and trumptards on the right.

I agree that science is manacled by big business, but that’s capitalism. They want to profit on peddling veggie oils so they rig science to favor the health aspects, then peddle pills to repair effects of the bad diet. Most published research is wrong and that fact itself is published. But that doesn’t mean academia is a bunch of sciencetards.

Astrophysics is the highest IQ profession and is 98% liberal. Your rebuttal is they are stupid. I’m no rocket scientist, but that doesn’t make sense.

Or you make it seem like a giant conspiracy, like academia is in collusion with silicon valley and hollywood, but the tendency to formulate conspiracy theories is associated with trumptards. And why is it that only the smartest people are susceptible to the brainwashing that the farmers and miners are too smart to fall for?

You’re right. I know.

No I support free speech.

What I’m happy about is the conservatives support the means of their own extermination with their free market axiom that corps can do what they want without government (ie constitutional) regulation. The irony is the same corps don’t like conservatives lol! They’re like “Hey thanks for the tax cut! Now, you’re banned! Sucker!”

I wouldn’t trust any package labeling without the gov guaranteeing the honesty of it. It’s not perfect, but without the gov, they’d label horsemeat as beef.

I’d prefer not feed euthanized animals to my pets, but I can’t tell which food has it and which doesn’t, so what the hell am I supposed to do? The gov should outlaw that practice because the free market doesn’t work.

And if I can get a ticket for a trailer light that burned out, then the gov should regulate producers of trailer lights so they don’t malfunction so often; they’re shit.

Agreed, but I will say a little horse meat, properly seasoned…I feel like that could be delicious.

Nice irony.

And since there is a revolving door between industry and government oversight…

I can see that. And no doubt some portion are realizing that you have to be careful what you want. I do wish more of the right didn’t confuse corporations with persons, just like the law does. I do see a larger number of the right seeing an oligarchy, but it is still a minority. Though it’s also a minority on the left. I have often found the rights hatred of liberals as communists sad and amusing since for all practical purposes liberals are radically capitalist. Clinton signed in the GlasSpeagal act. The liberals do nothing about campaign finance reform. Obama brought in Wall St. after complaining about Bush and Wall st. and I mean right into his cabinet.

It’s like the noise gets confused with the music.
