I listen to the Last Podcast on the Left and I’m learning now about the DuPonts. I’m astounded how it may seem like so little people know of them aside from the listeners. These are actual demons in living people to do the things they do. For example, they’re responsible for Teflon which is produced using C8 chemical. This is a forever chemical.

To give you an idea as to how royally fucked the world has been, Teflon is in numerous things that we use everyday. It is in the non-stick cookware we use. It’s in waterproof fabrics. Food packaging. Just a lot of shit. And we use these things - every. day. This chemical, once it is in you, it’s in you until even through death hence it being a forever chemical and there’s no way you can be rid of it. It can spawn cancerous cells in your body.

And I’m just listening to all of this thinking “Forget half of the shit we’re gearing our anger towards, it’s THESE people we need to draw and quarter!” because of the insurmountable damage and influence they’ve been in so many things that has everyone’s lives in a stranglehold.

    I know The Dispossessed!

    I’m generally supportive of the idea of feeding people. I’m further supportive of like people helping people. I think the part that makes me apprehensive is that the system you describe fundamentally operates on assumptions that sidestep the matter of beneficiaries knowing the source of the benefits, which seems very dubious. The idea seems to be quite kind and selfless, but I still think this is a scenario where folks will fail to appreciate the kindness involved because they’re simply unaware of the effort made by numerous folks involved
