Damn, it’s almost like literal children don’t always pay attention.

1·3 years agoI would like to add that less consumption isn’t necessarily a lower standard of living and could be the opposite if people’s basic needs are actually guaranteed and they’re subject to less abusive conditions than under capitalism.
Sure, why not.
But I though jeans were banned in the DPRK? :thonk:

How dare you. Tea is far superior.
As the most widely consumed drink in the world, it is clearly the beverage of the global proletariat.

Oh hey, it’s Murray Bookchin.
1·3 years agoI meant that North Korea is no better or worse in the sense that its national government exists to serve a privileged few.
Nah.
Neither is any leader in the DPRK. The people there just really like the Kims for their relationship to Kim Il sung. They’re accountable to the people via the same political institutions as every other politician there, like being subject to recall elections if they get sick of them. It seems weird to us but it really is just a cultural thing.
Raul was a hugely important revolutionary who introduced Fidel to Marxism. He literally just retired.
Where is this coming from? There are no heirs and there’s no dynasty. Kim Jong nam was assassinated for being a CIA asset.
She didn’t. The Chairman of the State Affairs Commission, the closest thing they have to a head of state in the DPRK, is elected by their elected legislature, the Supreme People’s Assembly. Same with their prime minister. Party positions like General Secretary are voted on by the party. Please stop believing the corporate news media that we’re all well aware lie constantly.
Next question.
So basically everyone would just have to refuse to convict without it being coordinated?
So how can jury nullification even take place?
0·4 years agoThis bothers me so much more than the presidential election.
People are still dying to this day by forgoing chemo- and radiation therapy and just injecting themselves with vitamins.
I don’t understand how he managed to make actual, fundamentally important biochemistry discoveries if he was such a crank.
This has been known for more than a decade (this study is just a review of existing research), and is not directly related to the efficacy of SSRIs (although the serotonin “theory” might have led to their adoption, idk).
For a while now, as I understand it, the view has been that SSRIs cause the downregulation (decreased new production of) serotonin receptors in reaction to the excess serotonin buildup they cause in the synapses (this is why they take a few weeks to kick in, despite increasing serotonin levels almost immediately, and is also why they will desensitive you to psychedelics like LSD, which act primarily on serotonin receptors). They decrease overall serotonin signalling, which in turn has downstream effects that alter certain activites of certain regions of the brain that are implicated in depression. (This is based mostly on discussions I had with my psychiatrist a few months ago, so if there are any actual experts here, correct me if I’m wrong.)
That being said, SSRIs suck ass, their side effects are awful, and I think it’s medical malpractice to make them a first-line treatment tbh. It’s really mind-boggling that they’re the go-to given how much shit they fuck up.
