But just saying out of hand “democracy works” is not a fact, it is an unproven assertion. Some charity groups work, most do not. Many charity groups like the largest vegan group DXE have SA charges among the leadership. Youth organizations collapse all the time. If democracy works then how come democratic countries elect authoritarians and fascists like the Republicans in US or Nazi’s or even AFD in Germany? How come democratic countries elect people like Boris Johnson, Marie Le Pen, Bolsonaro, and Sanae Takaichi? Citation needed is just that, I’d like to know where these democratic nations and organizations that exist that actually work. Doesn’t seem like it works to me. Sounds nice in theory but I wouldn’t say it “works” and clearly if we just assume out of hand that it does, we’ll just keep repeating the mistakes that make it not work.

There has never been a democracy, so we don’t know if it works or not. Democracy is an ideal state. We all live under a dictatorship of capital.
ITT: People who think things posted on a board called “Programmer Humor” are definitely real and not memes and jokes.

They’re a well known troll. Every discussion related to this topic is political in nature, especially when they are an agenda driven troll who is literally misrepresenting the truth and lying. But you are another carnivore diet promoting shill. Talk to my block list dirtbag
According to this https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4830a1.htm heart disease has declined since the introduction of “industrial oils”
“Age-adjusted death rates for stroke have declined steadily since the beginning of the century. Since 1950, stroke rates have declined 70%, from 88.8 in 1950 to 26.5 in 1996. Total age-adjusted CVD death rates have declined 60% since 1950 and accounted for approximately 73% of the decline in all causes of deaths during the same period”
I am going to block you because you are a lying, anti-science, shill promoting something I find offensive. I do not believe you are discussing in good faith despite your tone and do not want to engage.
While we don’t have statistics going back to the revolutionary era, it is worth noting people weren’t healthier in the past, heart disease has been one of the top killers for a very long time.
According to the CDC https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/53236 heart disease is in fact one of the leading costs of death for the past 100+ years
In 1900, the earliest year on this chart the leading cause of death were Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Diarrhea and Heart disease in that order. The top three have all been substantially addressed.

The premise behind MAHA is flawed, how can Americans become healthy again if they were never particularly healthy to begin with?
For anyone reading this, This position is not backed by any actual science and is in fact refuted by many, many studies over decades. And this person is a shill for a MAHA style diet.

3·21 days agoI put a coffee mug of red lentils into the instant pot with 3 more of water with just a bit of salt then cooked it under pressure for 20 minutes and let natural release. Then in a pan I tempered spices and aromatics and added it at the end.
I’m also left handed and play standard guitar. I can’t imagine using my right hand to hit the fret board and it seems like it would be way harder than strumming.
