People laughed when leftists talked about the yoga studio to fascism pipeline…

In all seriousness this is utterly fucked.

My mom died last year because she thought she could treat her cancer by "resonating with the world's vibration." Fuck this woman, and fuck the people who decided to put her in charge of healthcare.

We are all going to die lmao

Well if only they could stop polluting the world so we can get some of that clean living.

The lockdowns and subsequent vaccine drama turned a huge amount of previously assumed "liberal" new-age dumbasses into full-throated right-wing dumbasses. It was surprising to watch at first, but it makes sense when you think about it.

Weeelll, humans are out of touch with the Earth and we are depleting it's life force. I spend a great deal of time in several ecosystems, have some education in general science, botany, biology, etc., and a great deal on interest in all life sciences.

I think about this a lot, and don't want to write a wall of depressing shit, but our ecosystems have changed drastically since I was a wee lad in the 70s. And nobody notices! When I point out a given fact to people my age, they're clearly taken aback, had not thought about it. "Remember when cleaning bugs off your windshield was a common task?"

I can go on for an hour, but all is see is death, or rather an absence of life. If I could teleport a 20-something to the 70s, they would freak out over the abundance and variety of animals, in the city. We had more mammals in my mid-town Tulsa hood than I see on the edge of town in NW Florida. Again, I'm outside a lot, I'm looking.

Walking around outside Aldi yesterday I was looking at the perfect grass. Where most see a well kept lawn, all I saw was a barren desert. How much insecticide and herbicide did it take to make that perfect monoculture? Money says you couldn't dig an earthworm out of that "soil". Know how I used to find worms? Pick a random spot of dirt and dig for a whole minute. Now I don't even see them crawling around after a rain.

Another random fact: Global warming has ponds drying up in the summer that didn't dry up even 10-years ago. Dragonflies take 2-years to mature underwater. Put that together and enjoy all the mosquitoes.

Good news! My efforts have brought frogs back to my yard. They were deafening last night! Hoping to have mature dragonflies next year, or barring that, 2-years from now after I get the 150g pond set up.

(I know that's not what she's talking about, just had to get a bit off my chest.)

I’ll let my transplant team know it wasn’t new lungs I needed, and three people’s worth of blood and six months in ICU and three weeks on ECMO, it was just light I was lacking… silly me!

This isnt surprising at all to me. There is a woman in my city who is a massive MAGA chud that runs a New Age store and claims she's a medium and clairvoyant. She thinks she's a pillar of the community but even her own kids say she's full of shit.

So this lady is just looking for a bigger, better vibrator? Might solve a few problems...

What the fuck...

Mass suicide pact when?

is she talking about global warming and people fucking up the nature? Isn't that like extremely woke?

So who's gonna propose we bring back leeching and lobotomies first, this lady or captain brain worm?

This is pure comedy. Let's point and laugh at them until they go away

Conservatism doesn't mean right-wing. It's reality as a team sport.

Reasoned argument is a learned behavior. This nonsense is humanity's default.

They think that's all you're doing, because they think that's all there is.

Yes, but this is nothing new. "Mysticism", "esotericism", "religion", etc... have always been a tool of fascism.

"Well Mr. Doe, I'm afraid it's bad news. We found a mass in your chest, it looks like pancreatic cancer."

"Oh no, so what will we do about that? Will I get radiation, or chemo?"

"I'll be prescribing you a set of positively charged aura crystals, just spend some time near them every day, and let them charge under moonlight at night. I've also scheduled you a time with our resident chiropractor, he'll try to realign your chakras. Until then you could also try to stay away from Virgos."

Sounds pretty woke to me

I too say dumb shit when I'm high, I never thought I could get a high level government job for saying dumb shit while high.

Good, good. Now convince MAGA folks to drink the koolaid together…

I know this isn’t quite the same but I’m getting Heavens Gate vibes. Not good.

If the future of medicine is light then I don't want to see any of you MAGAt morons in a hospital or doctors office. Go sit outside and pray away your sickness in the sunlight, dumbasses.

Anybody who speaks about spiritual nonsense in conjunction with health matters is a quake and should NOT be surgeon general. Then again an anti-vaxxer is in charge of the CDC so I'm not surprised at that this point.

I'd much rather the new age movement align with the right and make them be the ones who look stupid by association. Do not want to make room in the tent for that shit, thanks.
