That's undisputed historical fact. The idea of 'exploitation' arises when not paying people fair compensation for their work. I've always paid the market value for the product, how about you? Whatever Brit, your logic is flawed. Your exploitation of woman goes against the theories of Marx. This is pure capitalism that you exploit. Your just trolling your not that dumb.

Popular Post rumak Posted December 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2021 15 minutes ago, BritManToo said: If it said, "I've found some information all the world's top scientists and doctors were paid/intimidated to hide from the proletariat" I might agree. But then, who are these 'top scientists' and why do you think they know any better than posters on AN? Most scientists aren't all that special, science was too low paid for me to bother working in it for long. Same for doctors, most doctors I've met are very ordinary, but much higher earners than scientists, I feel no urge to worship their knowledge as superior to my own. In fact in the cases of three Thai doctors I've encountered, my knowledge turned out to be far superior to theirs. i have the SAME experience . Misdiagnosis. Prescribing dangerous drugs (black box warning) when not called for. No care or critical diagnosis . So, yes, google can be your friend in these cases.

Plus false reasoning. 1 doctor did it wrong so all doctors are not as good as the information i find ont he internet. Point being that too many scientist all agree to be wrong. Now in your experience one that i truly believe happened and is possible its one Dr making a mistake. I make mistakes in my work. However if work is checked and verified by many many scientists its a different story. Had you had multiple Drs then chances were you would have gotten a better diagnose. Sometimes the one Dr who says otherwise is right but in most cases that is not so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post blackprince Posted December 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2021 14 hours ago, Jingthing said: Person A: Broadcast blatant conspiracy theory garbage / dangerous misinformation. Person B: (if a masochist) Trying to bring the discussion back to the real world of science, logic, and credible evidence. Person A: You're a sheeple! Do your own research! I agree that there is a huge problem of dialogue on the net. However I do not entirely agree with your diagnosis as presented in the quote above. I have been a British Liberal Progressive for half a century (I mention "British" simply because these things mean different things in different English-speaking countries). Conspiracy theories have always been with us. Some are pure fantasy, some have a highly distorted kernel of truth, some are genuine and discovered by painstaking investigative journalism. But I was stunned at the growth of QAnon type conspiracies. So far so good. But what alarms me almost as much as QAnon is the growth of what I'd call militant progressives who are as closed-minded as QAnon, though perhaps not as pernicious. In some ways this new brand of militant progressive alarms me even more than QAnon, because I expect the hard core right wing to be a bit nutty. But I never used to expect that from people who consider themselves to be hard core left (even if some of their interpretations of Marx have always seemed inappropriate to the modern world). There is also a brand of alternative (left leaning) Libertarians. I knew many in my youth. "Tune in, turn on, drop out" was the mantra. Numerous friends went to live in tepee villages in Wales. I myself lived in a commune. Sadly for some of those people, their anti-authoritarianism has morphed into QAnon territory. Liberalism requires tolerance of dissent. That is essential to the Liberal process. If someone cannot tolerate dissent, they are not a Liberal. (Dissent is not to be confused with fake news of course.) Just for clarification of terms, as I know these terms may mean different things in the US. I am a social Liberal Progressive (in British terms). I am not an economic neoliberal. In US politics I would probably identify with Bernie Sanders who advocates the type of society that I grew up with in the UK - universal free at the point of use healthcare and free at the point of use university education. Without these two policies I personally don't believe a country can call itself civilised. Nor do I believe the carrying of automatic assault weapons to indicate a civilised country (or any weapons for that matter). It's a fascinating subject, but today I work, so I can't spend a lot more time on it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with me was a bit of a hyperbole as Brit thinks sex is a product. I make enough, but the fact is the current one makes more then me. Not that I have a problem with paying for sex. I am just of the opinion that is not the case in every relationship. But Brit by his own admission is emotionally scarred by his English ex so I don't blame him. But to then say he is a marxist and taking advantage of low wages in a country get woman and proudly talk about was a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
