When you go down the right wing path for information these days, you're bound to bump into some white nationalist propaganda. Which is antithetical to addressing injustice and inequality. And the fact that you don't notice that but you do notice and latch onto their dog-whistle words, and to conspiracies that chase you away from core social issues, is confusing and problematic. @Ritafee

When one backs a vicious rat into a corner ... what is the consequence?
My question is what is the rat ... a common item or a Hi feeling chosen one? Thus the freedom of choice is a powerful will ... especially without rationale and reason!
Yet an unreasonable crime of passion is pardonable ... watch the trump charges ... for the fallacy!
Might it be poly mis understood? Such is anarchy, chaos, and other distributed intelligence that we can't gather as yet ...
I admit I know nothing that my grandfather believed was devoid of something like Ide ... a forgotten primevial energy ... stuff dark and unknown!
More matters that we don't know ... some say it doesn't matter ... some alter ... thus gnawing!

When the POTUS is driving made up conspiracy theories himself, then what can be done? He has a base who will believe anything he says.
Trump pushes unfounded conspiracy theory about Buffalo protester
U.S. President Donald Trump ignited fresh controversy over his hard-line "law and order" push Tuesday by peddling yet another unfounded conspiracy theory, this time trying to raise suspicions about a 75-year-old protester who was hospitalized after being shoved by police and falling.

A livestream to talk about how 5G is the cause of problems? No thanks.

It's sad you feel the need to insult rather than discuss.
Your argument isn't very strong when you label and mock.

I don't feel to argue such a ridiculous claim. Some of the conspiracy theories out there are ridiculous.

When you call everything right wing white nationalist propaganda it is antithetical to addressing anything at all.
You latch on to more dog-whistle words than I would ever bother to count.

Interestingly, the conspiracy theories have united the left fringes and right fringes.

Claiming that everything is a conspiracy theory ... how ridiculous is that.

Nope. I haven't done that, only some whacky ideas. Of course it's a no win "argument". If I or anyone challenges some of the weirdness we're obviously brainwashed by mainstream media or the government or something.

Seriously ... Brigid Delaney's verbal diary-ah is your experts opinion?
Yes, yes, yes!
From sex ed games for kids to products for the ageing ...
“No one wanted the device to be pink.”
I have seen a roomful of people recoil – for purely aesthetic reasons – from a marijuana leaf decal on a sex toy.
I have met a venture capitalist who tried out 297 sex toys and yet still argued passionately for diamantes on vibrators.
I’ve heard that a toy designed like a lily is good, but one that is designed like a butterfly is bad – but I still don’t know why that is.
I’ve learned that big buttons aren’t just useful for elderly people’s phones, but also for elderly people’s vibrators.
I’ve heard young women talk about how they want sex shops to look more like Aesop or the Genius Bar than the Club X on Elizabeth Street, and sum up 90% of the population when they said their target market was “the curious and the confused”.
But wait there's more ...
I have seen and held an array of merch that ranged in shape from a poached egg to a terrifying tower of black silicon with claws (called the Greedy Girl).
I have been in a room where an Arnott’s biscuit tin was mooted as a possible design solution for nostalgia-loving boomers who want to charge and store their sex toys in a discreet place in their nursing home.
I’ve learned what a dental dam is and that they have nothing to do with dentists … or dams.
In short – I’ve seen the future of sex toys – and been amazed. - Brigid Delaney
I think - other than on the coast of B.C. maybe - there a lot of fundamentalists and/ or libertarians into the wellness industry. Noticed that before...not with covid but that fundamentalists are almost as much into natural remedies as old-school hippies. The same dynamic exists amogst anti-vaxxers. Fascists have tapped into eco concerns and “natural purity” in the past as well. It’s not new. Keep an eye on that. Besides they always coopt somethingfrom the left, to get a foot in the door. In 2016, they coopted irony. Kind of like what Christian rock did with rock music. It’s all the same ball of wax.
All those right wing politicians who don’t want universal healthcare stand to benefit from pushing alternatives that anyone can get without a prescription, at lower cost than prescriptions are sold there, even if they don’t work.
The above criticisms are from someone not entirely opposed to natural wellness products. I like some of them. For different reasons.

Whatever Rita. I posted it as an interesting article, not as some kind of expertise.
Thank you for demonstrating my point that a discussion here is essentially impossible.

Whatever Northwind ... I posted a lot of interesting articles and well researched ones at that.
Is what they might be discussing that offends you or who might be doing the discussing?
One way or the other ... you can't discuss it because you don't know anything about it and you don't want to but yet you mock it as wacky conspiracy.
