FLUORIDATION How can this idiotic conspiracy theory be returning to bite us in the ass so many years later? I remember people freaking out about this when I WAS A KID. My mom, a nurse, set me straight on it very early. Why is this shit back in my life again? ARGH.
Kakistocracy, baby! Feel the stupid!
Because since January 20, 1981, there has been a systematic destruction of the educational system in this country. No one knows how to think anymore. And no one figured out the counter argument, which is easy: "Education is your birthright. It's owed to you. It makes every other job possible."
Then it was a communist plot. Is it still a communist plot?
I think since Alex Jones it’s been a Nazi plot to calcify the pineal gland and make us less psychic, or lower our IQs, which isn’t happening at the levels it’s maintained in the water supply for dental health. If there’s any conspiracy, it must be shady dentists who want to fill more cavities, lol.
Because the John Bircher’s have taken over our government.
Oligarchic backing of cranks and charlatans, that’s why

POE OPE EOP PEO...
I do not avoid women, Mandrake. But I do deny them my essence….
Because it has NEVER EVER GONE AWAY. Honest to God, all this precious bodily fluid stuff is cray-cray.
We live in the stupidest of times.
The scary part is the John Birch Society is actually growing again. Too many people are willing to believe something "truthy." "Did you know fluoride is a poisonous waste product of aluminium smelting, and they're just selling it to cities because capitalists are soulless?" Too many people say yup.
Because they’re 40 year old vampires — they don’t evolve, they don’t reconsider, their grievances never resolve, they don’t process their emotions and take in new information. The hard right has been recycling the same stuff for most of a century. Their gold bugs are still mourning the gold standard
One of our area suburbs recently removed it from the public water supply. No vote or anything. There is a Moms4Liberty woman on the city council.
