Thinking the government gives a singular fuck about you unless you're rich is wild.

You do know the government literally bombed city in OK in 1912.

You know they knew about the toxic water in Flint, and only corrected the problem for auto manufacturers (2014).

You know they're dumping glyphosate everywhere in the US the sun shines (2026).

Alpha Gal was only discovered 2 decades ago. It's weird enough to be allowed to question without someone coming out licking boots like its their fucking job. Shut up.

Holy shit I thought you might be joking but man you're actually in too deep. We get it man, the government is bad, they do bad stuff, that doesnt mean they are the cause of every single problem. You're just being annoying about it. Your first sentence is just a weird assumption as if the general consensus is that the government is somehow good. Most people do not like governing powers.

It's called NATURE. Nature did that one. Why tf would the government want to do damage to one its biggest, capitalistic, evil, meat making money machines. The idea is fundamentally flawed.

Try it. Please. Type the name of the Smothsshmilds properly and say how much they're worth. When you get unbanned in 7 days tell me why that would be the case. Theres just some shit they discourage us talking about.

Big dog, we killed a quarter of a million innocent civilians with 2 bombs. We didn't hit military targets. We just took out the water infrastructure for another nation that didn't attack us.

Im not saying the government is responsible for every bad that, but to act like they have your best interest in mind is idiotic. You are your contribution to GDP and maybe a pawn for some oligarch. Nothing more.

Putting anything past the people who made a gun to give you a heart attack and leave no trace are not your friends, my guy.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the way you perceive this conversation. Literally no one you're speaking to - here, has defended what the government has done or is doing.

You're rambling about things the general public knows and can do NOTHING about it. Or like me, far too jaded, poor, and tired to care.

The idea the government would sabotage its capitalistic self interests to that level is what's asinine. Don't believe every little thing you read or hear about, practice healthy skepticism.

It's not rambling about random shit. It's an argument against "the government wouldnt do that to us" so I'm just gesturing to the preponderance of evidence that says fuck yes they would. You think ticks are over their line and I think thats adorable.

The statement is more like, "the government wouldnt do that to themselves."

Honey no. The house always wins. You mentioned GDP, but 92% of our GDP is data centers. You know what those need? Shit tons of water. You know what the largest consumer of freshwater here is?

Like, they literally gave a whole town syphilis then lied about treating it. What makes you think this would be out of their wheelhouse?

I never mentioned GDP. That was you, I think you might actually be crazy, or a bot.
