Plenty of things have serious health impacts and we don't mandate it. To go after something as niche as raw milk is weird in my view. Heart disease leads to quite a few deaths and we don't ban McDonalds. If the fear is actually th

We do though. It is illegal to buy raw milk in some jurisdictions regardless if you boil it after purchasing.

I know, but the topic at hand is about buying raw milk? From the article > Powerful anti-vaccine advocates and people selling potentially harmful goods such as raw milk are profiting from the push to write anti-science policies into law

Buying raw milk doesn't mean people will consume it?

Many people just boil raw milk themselves and don't have issues?

Gerrymandering is just a symptom, not the problem. The US has had 435 house representatives since the Reapportionment Act of 1929. The population of the US during the 1930 census was about a third of what it is today. If we bumped it up to

Maybe we should just go back to the old school way? It seems like there have been grievances about voting machines for so long and it causes distrust to the entire system. The whole hanging chad issue in the 2000 election is a prime example

Fdroid just checks there is no proprietary code and compiles. They don't do any review. You are completely reliant on the app not being malicious.

I agree Thiel isn't great when it comes to the Bible, but the difference is important. Saying one specific person is the Antichrist is quite a bit different than saying the Antichrist will have certain traits and a mission similar to t

He didn't actually say this though. He said that the type of person who would be the Antichrist is somebody like Greta who is trying to save the world. He did not say that she was the Antichrist.

Ukraine indirectly funds Russia by buying diesel from India who bought it from Russia. Maybe they should start with cutting off themselves before going after allies.

None of those statements are saying he didn't consider them human or is dehumanizing them. If that is the extent of it, then that is quite weak.

He considers people who are trans to be mentally ill. If they are to the point they may hurt themselves or others, then you can justify it. You and he are coming at this issue with a different premise which is causing the issue.

With the trans one, it is not clear if he was advocating for violence or to put them in a mental institution. It sounds more likely he is advocating for violence, but you can't tell. With the Pelosi one, I don't think he was condo

Thank you for the list. I agree there are no smoking guns here. I think, as a matter of charity, you could interpret them in a nonviolent way pretty easily. For example, with the Jan 6th, as far as I can tell he was bussing people to a rall

That is not advocating for violence anymore than saying a rapist should be jailed or a murder should be given the death penalty. He is not calling for some sort of extra judaical punishment, but to work within the legal system and execute t
