limer@lemmy.mlto science@lemmy.world•NASA chief to defy agency's charter, terminating scienceEnglish3·5 days agoMy comment here is only about the pattern of political violence in the USA since the 1700s.
Personally, I think a socialist revolution in the USA would save more lives than cost. I think this could be proved using logic and science.
But, for all its guns, and suffering, the USA is politically stagnant. It is strongly resistant to change. Scattered violence would remain just that, and in itself could not be productive. At this point violence would only be counter productive for improvement of the working classes.
So, that leaves zero options.
I think the only way forward is evolution of the social networks to allow a replacement for local politics. Sparking interest in local communities again. It is only through social connections not yet existing, online, can there be hope for most American citizens. Or a solar flair knocking out the internet for all in the USA. Either will help change the social order

limer@lemmy.mlto science@lemmy.world•NASA chief to defy agency's charter, terminating scienceEnglish271·5 days agoIt is one of my unanswered questions of American culture: the low amount of political violence against elites of any political organization.
Political violence against the poor has always been a staple. But somehow it does not happen against the wealthy unless it’s their own doing it.
I’m ignoring the handful of high profile assassinations over the last 250 years done by poor people, often mentally ill.

limer@lemmy.mlto science@lemmy.world•Red meat wreaks havoc on gut and drives inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in study on miceEnglish10·7 days agoI myself am a victim of the modern diet, and lack of exercise. I almost died of high cholesterol and other related factors, before I started to eat better and be physically active.
I’m a firm believer in a varied diet, and that most people should have a less meaty intake.
Just, we are designed to be hunters and eat red meat

Giving an over abundance of it, for a long time, will shock the mouse.

It really has not evolved much beyond that. Except in very small countries, today it merely means oligarchy.
While it is often better than despotic, autocratic or monarchy. At the end of the day, the ultimate tests are: how the working classes fare; the happiness index of the majority; how much corruption is in the government; how fair the justice system is; life expectancy; and access to medicine and treatments.

I looked at the verified user reviews.
The negative ones were more likely to list reasons why they scored it. The positive ones were more likely to seem similar to each other.
Based only on that, I think this is a bomb and will have low sales
