Abandon the culture war, ye of the principled. (lemmygrad.ml)

I've decided to abandon the culture war entirely because it's just insanity. We've now hit a point where we're arguing pasteurized milk - yes, milk that was boiled and filtered several times - is healthier than potentially contaminated milk.

I did this years ago.

The culture war is manufacturered by the algorithm/surveillance corps/social media.

And it distracts from actual leftist issues like labour rights and peace and the environment

And it's annoying and unattractive

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah, it's BS. They try to drag minority rights into it to force people to participate though because the feds know amping up divisions like racism, sexism, etc. is a great way to divide the working class

Boy, you're the one mainly followin' the culture war, for the past days, in Lemmygrad...

You didn't talk much about geopolitics, economics, or even much Marxist-Leninist theory and practice, around these parts. I mean, for God's sake, you post more about gaming controversy than yer own nation

I’m extremely confused by what you’re saying.

Are you implying that pasteurized milk is worse then fresh milk that spoils absurdly quickly and has a high chance of being infected with any number of bacteria or parasites?

I wrote this late at night, sorry. I mistyped

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’m still incredibly confused as to what you were even getting at. Did you mean the opposite of what you wrote in the post?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Yes. I did mean that the culture war has devolved into bullshit "debates" like whether or not pasteurized milk is healthier than raw milk - the answer to which is an obvious yes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And what does this have to do with milk?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's a pun. "Culture war" vs "culture" in the sense of bacteria in milk/yogurt

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

No. It's some disjointed rant I cooked up late at night that points out how the culture war has devolved into the raw milk fiasco

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I did the same, because the arguments on both sides have become stale and downright cheesy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Terrible pun, and it's flown over everyone's heads to boot, 3/10
