a lot of articles are go beyond one-uppers centered on "do more" politics. like say the nation posts article saying "we need body cameras on cops". then gawker writes an article saying "we need to do more than put body cameras on cops - we need to hold cops responsible for their crimes", then jezebel might put "we need to do more than hold cops responsible for their crimes - we need real community control". then another blog writes "community control is bullshit - why we need to go beyond cops". and each of them fits a niche.
getfiscal posted:cracked and gawker and the guardian keep a pen of impoverished bloggers around to write clickbait articles that use the language of liberalism to make deliberately bad arguments just to cause debates on facebook walls. boniface does the more respectable side of this, which is to make slam-dunk articles about things that everyone already agrees on so that they can share it with their friends and feel proud. like his articles are like "no, hitler, jews aren't parasites - and you were wrong to gas them".

have you considered bursting them all at once just to get it over with? maybe not while you're driving

that shit seems like the worst. I have a really cool friend who has bad endometriosis and suffers from hella ovarian cysts and i eventually had to just go ahead and unfollow her because the endless sickposting had become a demoralizing and exhausting nightmare. And that was just from reading her posts on Facebook!, im sure on her end of the situation it was probably like, twice as bad
Now, I’m a health-food guy, a fanatic who seldom allows anything into his kitchen unless it’s organic. I state my bias here just so you’ll know I’m not anti-health food.
The dangerous food I’m speaking of is soy. Soybean products are feminizing, and they’re all over the place. You can hardly escape them anymore.
I have nothing against an occasional soy snack. Soy is nutritious and contains lots of good things. Unfortunately, when you eat or drink a lot of soy stuff, you’re also getting substantial quantities of estrogens.
Estrogens are female hormones. If you’re a woman, you’re flooding your system with a substance it can’t handle in surplus. If you’re a man, you’re suppressing your masculinity and stimulating your “female side,” physically and mentally.
In fetal development, the default is being female. All humans (even in old age) tend toward femininity. The main thing that keeps men from diverging into the female pattern is testosterone, and testosterone is suppressed by an excess of estrogen.
If you’re a grownup, you’re already developed, and you’re able to fight off some of the damaging effects of soy. Babies aren’t so fortunate. Research is now showing that when you feed your baby soy formula, you’re giving him or her the equivalent of five birth control pills a day. A baby’s endocrine system just can’t cope with that kind of massive assault, so some damage is inevitable. At the extreme, the damage can be fatal.
Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That’s why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today’s rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because “I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t homosexual.” No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can’t remember a time when excess estrogen wasn’t influencing them.
Doctors used to hope soy would reduce hot flashes, prevent cancer and heart disease, and save millions in the Third World from starvation. That was before they knew much about long-term soy use. Now we know it’s a classic example of a cure that’s worse than the disease. For example, if your baby gets colic from cow’s milk, do you switch him to soy milk? Don’t even think about it. His phytoestrogen level will jump to 20 times normal. If he is a she, brace yourself for watching her reach menarche as young as seven, robbing her of years of childhood. If he is a boy, it’s far worse: He may not reach puberty till much later than normal.
Research in 2000 showed that a soy-based diet at any age can lead to a weak thyroid, which commonly produces heart problems and excess fat. Could this explain the dramatic increase in obesity today?
Recent research on rats shows testicular atrophy, infertility and uterus hypertrophy (enlargement). This helps explain the infertility epidemic and the sudden growth in fertility clinics. But alas, by the time a soy-damaged infant has grown to adulthood and wants to marry, it’s too late to get fixed by a fertility clinic.
Worse, there’s now scientific evidence that estrogen ingredients in soy products may be boosting the rapidly rising incidence of leukemia in children. In the latest year we have numbers for, new cases in the U.S. jumped 27 percent. In one year!
There’s also a serious connection between soy and cancer in adults – especially breast cancer. That’s why the governments of Israel, the UK, France and New Zealand are already cracking down hard on soy.
In sad contrast, 60 percent of the refined foods in U.S. supermarkets now contain soy. Worse, soy use may double in the next few years because (last I heard) the out-of-touch medicrats in the FDA hierarchy are considering allowing manufacturers of cereal, energy bars, fake milk, fake yogurt, etc., to claim that “soy prevents cancer.” It doesn’t.
P.S.: Soy sauce is fine. Unlike soy milk, it’s perfectly safe because it’s fermented, which changes its molecular structure. Miso, natto and tempeh are also OK, but avoid tofu.

haha i enjoy that documentary by lewis lapham about the american ruling class that follows a bunch of earnest ivy league liberals who feel the pain of the poors all stoked to "change things from the inside" by getting jobs at goldman sachs

he literally diagnosed a woman with "Making-Up The Existence of Endometriosis Syndrome" (historically known as "Hysterical Womb"), vicariously, through her boyfriend, who seemed to not really be sure what endometriosis was, and against the independent diagnoses of multiple non-television medical professionals
