I’m personally kind of reminded of how “faggot” and “dyke” are being “taken back” and used jokingly/sarcastically, but I still get really uncomfortable if someone uses them with me. They’ll say “oh I don’t mean it offensively!” But it’s not really up to you to decide what’s offending another person or not.
The plastic and other bullshit the FDA allows in our food is definitely why colon cancer rates are skyrocketing in the US as well. Ask anyone who has spent extended time in Europe how their digestion differed when there versus the US. Almost everyone has a hard time adjusting to our diet because it’s so shitty and toxic. I wish I could eat food without doing a million hours of research into what’s in it because the FDA doesn’t do it.
The idea that most other countries are either extremely strange or extremely poverty-stricken is definitely a very intentional form of propaganda we get fed in the US. People are shocked when I tell them they can get cheaper, safer, better medical care in Mexico pretty often. Mostly for cosmetic surgeries, but they act like all hospitals in Mexico are run down death factories.
