80 years across 75000 or so individual water systems, once a month at about 10k (pops under 800) to 1 million (for larger cities) per dose.

No, it has no measurable effect. We see the exact same dental effects in modern countries without any fluoridation, natural or artificial. That’s why causation hasn’t been proven.

Yes, in the US, specifically the US, as areas got wealthy enough to contribute enough property tax to pay for fluoridation… their dental hygiene went up.

…The same thing has happened in China without fluoridation… and mexico… and wealthier parts of central and eastern europe (which has low to no levels of natural fluoridation).

And we see in Western europe, where there is significant natural fluoridation… the exact same increase in dental hygiene over time… That wouldn’t happen IF THE FLUORIDATION WAS THE CAUSE. They already had it. Why would dental hygiene increase, without adding fluorine? Across all these cultures. At the same time wealth and education increases…

I fucking wonder.

According to the data shown in the gif, the turn around took exactly 30 minutes, wherein it teleported at least 20km.

So what’s more likely, the AIS data was missing the entire time and its real position is on the same course, or it did an impossible turn as shown by the data provided?

Why does the incredibly shady history of Fluoridation, the long-standing left-wing fight against it, matter in the context of an absolute ninnyhammer saying it’s a right-wing conspiracy?

I don’t know, let’s use our critical thinking skills here for a minute little buddy.

…Why? Because Berkeley has non-fluoridated water, after mass encouragement from professors at UC Berkeley.

As to why the aluminum industry… THAT’S THE EXCLUSIVE, AND I DO MEAN THE EXCLUSIVE REASON THE US STARTED FLUORIDATING WATER. There was no other reason. Sodium Fluoride is toxic waste that is a by product from refining aluminum. It cost the industry millions (in 1920s month) actively cleaning up and properly disposing of that waste according to the few ecological protections present in the day.

Then hey, Fluoride is useful in dentistry in high amounts, why don’t they sell to that industry? So they did. And then someone had the clever idea of paying off dentists to help lobby for water fluoridation, as was SO INCREDIBLY COMMON AT THE TIME (sugar, milk, leaded gasoline, cigarettes, lead paint, lead pipes). And so they got a way to get PAID to dump their toxic waste. They just had to make sure it was under a certain concentration; which just meant they aggressively pushed fluoridation across the US and Canada so their margins would be higher. Eventually fluorine became the easiest way to dump that particular chemical, and despite the extra cost for that step of refining (which resulted in sodium metal as a bonus sellable item) it is still more profitable than having to pay to properly dispose of the material.

The entirety of the global south, including but not limited to:

Mexico, Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Every native american nation, The entirety of all modern states of Africa, Afghanistan Iraq, Iran, Syria, The Philippines, China, Indonesia…

They existed, in the US south, underground and still using fronts like the Daughters of the confederacy.

What what? What part of that didn’t you understand?

While it’s trendy on the right to be against Fluoridation because of ‘big government’ or ‘fauci’ or whatever drivel happens to appear out of the American education system; the original fight against fluoridation was left wing, and still is in countries outside the Amerisraeli empire, which is really the only handful of countries that fluoridate their water; they were the only ones stupid enough to give literally trillions at this point to the global aluminium mining industry.

This is objectively false history as neither were particularly popular in Wisconsin in the 1950s.

This is very much incorrect, it was started off by environmental activists in the 1950s as a push back to dumping aluminum mining waste into drinking water while charging the tax payer for the right to do so

No measurable effect, no.

Ah yes, right wingers like… The university of California Berkley.

So you think a ship that was moving at maybe 5 knots/hr instantly turned around and in less than 30 minutes accelerated past 50 knots/hr?

While it’s cute you’re repeating your masters’ words; tankie has no actual meaning or definition so it’s not really an insult. My joke was directed specifically at you people, who have been victim of a multi-hundred billion dollar campaign to completely eliminate all critical thought against enemies of your masters.

Obviously no state is ideal. However if a state did occur that was a threat to capital, how exactly do you think capital would respond? Exactly how your masters have responded. The extreme instant disregard for all facts that could contradict your programming is the exact reaction your masters have spent hundreds of billions instilling, just so you keep doing whatever they want, without getting any real positive change in your life.

No jokes making fun of lemmy users allowed I guess.

The spanish premier is a tankie?11/!!/1?

Mussolini had popular support throughout his term as dictator. Just because it’s a dictatorship doesn’t preclude popular support, and all dictatorships have some form of democracy embedded within them since they’re all based on western roman governments.

Not really, no. What they should have done day one is enact military law in the US, not martial law, and forcibly remove every single elected and appointed official to be tried publicly at the Hague and streamed to the entire world.

Lets be honest if we’re going to be dreaming about what should have been.
