  • Tankies are authoritarians. Red fascists. They don’t give a fuck about anything or anyone, just their fascist kings being in charge so they can hurt people they think are inferior. Just like any other fascist.

    They shit on Marx and gargle Lenin and Mao, then tell you that actually state control and secret police are the real communism.

    Is it any wonder from people who cheer when the tanks roll over protesters and revolutionaries?

    They tried that. Famously so. So now we pay a fuck load of money trying to get people to willingly stop, and on enforcement of traffic laws.

    Which is why you can still buy your cancer sticks to feed your addiction, but not flavored. Because that’s a low hanging fruit. Just ban the cancer companies from flavoring their cancer sticks like candy. Make it obvious that they’re selling you your slow, painful death.

    Maybe you’re lost in your addiction, but maybe someone else can use this to quit, and maybe a kid won’t start. It’s all still cheaper than the healthcare costs of tobacco.

    They sort of did?

    There have been a bunch of trials, and several countries changed their laws to prevent this exact form of money laundering.

    The rich assholes then moved to different forms of money laundering.

    Except the rich asshole who ordered the hit on Daphne Galizia, he’s currently on trial for her murder, and for money laundering.

    It’s not just about protecting children, it’s about protecting everyone.

    Nicotine is wildly addictive. Full stop. It and a host of other chemicals also cause a wide range of health issues that greatly strain the medical system, and put strains on healthcare budgets.

    Since banning the product outright will likely not work, due to the aforementioned addictiveness, sensible countries have adopted a slightly different approach of making the cancer sticks as unappealing as possible, both to keep kids from starting and to help people already addicted quit.

    I really wish people would stop claiming suicides are secret murders. It minimizes suicide, and you shouldn’t.

    It also paints a vastly different picture of what John Barnet was going through. (I can’t find any mentions of a second boing whistleblower dying)

    and Christina Balan is alive, and if not well, at least she’s currently winning.

    The brakes thing wasn’t someone cutting her brakes, it was her getting fired for reporting the issues with brakes on early Teslas.

    Edit Okay, found the other boeing whistleblower,

    Joshua Dean, a former quality inspector for the contractor Spirit AeroSystems, a 2005 Boeing spin-off, checked himself into the hospital after experiencing difficulty breathing from contracting influenza B and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). He died two weeks later (May 1, 2024) after developing pneumonia and suffering a stroke. Dean and other workers at the Wichita, Kansas factory testified that they had been instructed to downplay or hide production defects on the 737 Max, which had a door plug blow off mid-flight in January 2024.[44]

    I doubt that boeing controls the flu virus.

    Especially since this then happened.

    The deaths of Barnett and Dean prompted more than 10 new whistleblowers from Boeing and Spirit to come forward with similar allegations.[50] Santiago Paredes, another Spirit whistleblower, dismissed the conspiracy theories.[47]

    Well, since the rich asshole who ordered the hit is currently on trial for it, and a laundry list if other crimes, including money laundering and bribing the head of the anti-money laundering investigative unit, we can say that it happened.

    The guy also spent 5 years in jail awaiting trial for murder before he was granted bail.
