I suggest you read Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes before spending more time mocking keto. Ketogenic diets have lots of backing in science and have changed many lives and posts like these can be very hurtful.

You're getting downvoted because your post is incredibly disrespectful to countries where the main demographics are historically oppressed groups. Obviously North Koreans love North Korea, or else it wouldn't exist.

I agree, and hopefully we can all transact using cryptocurrency, making our money decentralized and sovereign as well.

Many of us are insecure from being bullied as kids and being in a profession where we are often surrounded by people who are smarter than us. Also the extremely high pay creates an imposter syndrome, where we feel like society has "selected" us to be the most intelligent and we can only live up to that standard by having contrarian views on a wide range of topics.

The sad thing is most of us would be better off lifting weights or making money or going to social events than developing eating disorders.

Yes sorry I mistyped, it was early, I meant the bully pays you to sit in the corner, otherwise he beats you up. Sure he's paying you, but it's still clearly coercive.

And in return for said aid, Israel has become an American puppet and stays about the size of New Jersey without us having to use force. Between sending in troops and paying them, the US decided to pay. Imagine if a bully promised to not beat you up as long as he could pay you a small sum to sit in a corner in a fetal position all day. These politics are a lot more complex than you're making them out to be.

Israel is hardly powerful in the US. US foreign policy is overall pretty antisemitic. Israel would own half of Egypt at least if the US didn't drive them out in the Yom Kippur War.

When you take into account the history of BIPOC oppression and hate it makes some sense. They're perpetuating a type of hate that's already rampant and even normalized. It's on a spectrum between crimes of passion and organized crime.

Also it's generally recognized as a social good to penalize those who take advantage of the weak and less fortunate.

No it's just downvotes because you were mocking someone

Similar to the way most violent crimes are proven -- confessions.

Maybe, but surely you would agree it should be up to the appropriated culture to decide what is appropriate?

If a historically marginalized group feels that you are appropriating their culture, the proper response is not to learn their history and then tell them that since you read a book it's now OK. It's to stop.
