I switched my Western diet to strictly vegetarian Korean dishes a decade ago and feel so much better.

Basically, what I learned is that Western diet is designed to kill you. There's just no way all that carb and sugar is healthy.

If you read the Red Notice by Bill Browder, you will know this to be true about Russia: It's a lost cause.

It's a lost cause because the good people in Russia are killed and eliminated with impunity by thugocracy.

You can't have a future when everyone in power is stealing from their own people.

so what about the greedy white people that sell to newcomers at inflated prices in turn pricing out their "own"?

I wonder why it's okay to not give a shit when it's non-white people suffering.

It's the same deal with holocaust. Worse things are going on in North Korea, yet the West seems more concerned about events that happened 70+ years ago. It's like you are automatically an anti-semite for saying what's happening in North Korea are equal if not worse than what Jews have gone through, as if Jews have suffered the most out of human history or something. Of course it's fucking horrid what Jews went through but it's time we start paying more attention to modern day holocausts happening around the world.

as a consumer I don't know what to believe.

It seems like every other day some counter study is released.

I gave up and just decided to eat whatever the fuck I want.

> they allow BS they agree

What BS specifically do you disagree with? Do you realize your own bias with that statement?

It got a lot of attention because of the size of the scam and she came from a place of money which she used to further her goals.

Imagine if this was a non-white male CEO, could you imagine how different public opinions would've been? She got some sort of soft landing because she was white, gender and her family wealth.

Punishing people who willfully concocts false information and disseminates for the purpose of spreading racist/intolerant views are very different than what you've highlighted.

Thinking a group of people is lesser than you because of the arrangement of their skin color pigmentation, and crying freedom of speech is being attacked, is not going to get you a lot of sympathy, especially when you now try to actively shut people up who are calling you out on it.

> freedom of speech means freedom to mislead

sure, but don't get all up and mighty when you get called out and shut down.

So do you support people manipulating and creating fake news but not the people who are trying to prevent it from happening?

Facebook can absolutely kick out people who don't behave on their platform. Playing the freedom of speech card doesn't work when you actively try to oppress other's freedom of speech through tactical manipulation.

Punishing individuals and groups who willfully and knowingly engage in spreading information containing false facts concocted to support their intolerant views is absolutely necessary to protect freedom of speech.

The game has changed. There are people with intolerant and twisted views trying to manipulate the naive herd of sheep who blindly follows whatever people like on Facebook.

Knowing the tactics of people behind fake news, it's good that Facebook is responding accordingly to punish and get rid of bad actors on their platform.

It's once again showing that we can't have pure anarcho decentralization. It would be a haven for bad actors that goes unpunished.

We can absolutely set definition for what is bad and what isn't bad. What is clearly bad is writing fake news about certain group of ethnic group you hate and manipulating others into believing your twisted idiosyncratic views about Jews, Hindus and Moors.

edit: there is some heavy downvote brigading going on here. I've alerted the mods.

I think we will see something like that. Theranos was blatant fraud by an individual who came from a family of money, and felt the need to protect the "fragile, young vulnerable women of tech".

Even as Theranos, there were lot of people defending Holmes, and attacking people who were calling her a scammer.

I definitely don't think we are going to see any of that this time.
