Brazil's moving at a much quicker pace with condemning these people though, 400 already arrested. I wonder if they go after people like Bannon who stoked the flames for these gullible idiots to go ahead and do this - and if the US would extradite if that happened. I heard last night up to 1500 already arrested. Sad sights to see irrespective of how many though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because while I don't know his reputation, this video pretty much just looked int the issue of high number of excess deaths currently, which IS quite worrying. He didn't discuss potential reasons for it, and just presented the data, which I think is fair enough. He also said he's got three shots of vaccine himself, haha. I think healthcare systems worldwide are going through a massive crisis, in general. Anyway, here are the actual numbers in the EU. Germany had around 20% excess mortality in October 2022, almost twice as high as in October 2021 or 2020, with the difference that then the excess deaths could have been explained by Covid for the most part, whereas in 2022, it doesn't account for even half of the excess deaths. I guess autumn/winter can partially be explained by other respiratory viruses like flu circulating, but excess mortality was significantly higher in Germany for the most of the year: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how it is obnoxious to point out that former proponents of overweight and unhealthy have now become healthy and look and feel better. body positivity should mean looking after what one is given and everyone can do more but it's often a choice. as a society we needed to go back to 2000s, drop this victimhood syndrome, I think Trainor and Adele are inspiration that if you are unhappy, you need to make the changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'chunky monkey blubbernaut' is what you said, not the above. It's judgmental and quite frankly, just rude. Nothing about 'victimhood syndrome'. You can be a proponent of body positivity and make changes to your own body. But for all you and I know, Trainor might have made changes for health reasons? Therefore, you've been judgmental in thinking she's a hypocrite just because, in your words, she 'now looks really good' after being overweight. She looks good in your mind because you clearly don't like bigger women. Otherwise I doubt you'd have called them 'chunky monkey blubbernaut'. They're proponents of body positivity, as in feeling confident and happy in your own image. Maybe it's stress-related, or health-related that their body has changed. You don't get to decide what to call them just because you didn't like how they looked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rucksackfranzose 3,521 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Looking forward to the next explanation, how all these mass shootings have fuck all to do with lax gun laws. In the meantime it's becoming news when there's no mass shooting in the USA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are some people who just choose to be. But with others its a lot more complex. Experts use to think they were just addicted to junk food. However research suggests that a lot of the time its due to emotional trauma which means it gets treated differently. If you have a dependency on something you need something to replace it with. Otherwise it will be very distressing. Other mental health issues can play a part. When I was having severe mental health issues I could barely get out of bed, let alone cook a healthy meal or exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are just as many who can who generally say they prefer good living or to enjoy life. Hence, the reason they eat and junk and don't look after their health.

Well I don't know if there is specific data on that. Seems like an assumption to me. Lets be honest honest fat shaming isn't about health is it. Its about appearance. I know how bad smoking is gets talked about by doctors a lot. But you rarely see celebrities shamed by the media for it. But overweight people are all the time. And people don't generally say the kind of horrible things they say about overweight people about smokers Edited Monday at 19:52 by Gunnersaurus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
