When the crime rates started dropping the broader social anxiety over drugs and gangs started to peter out. Everyone who is still scared of brown people has moved more into immigrants and terrorists now, and all the gangs and drugs stuff is attached to that.

The opioid crisis is also the number one drugs topic these days and today's image of an opioid user is a white guy. As the profile of a stereotypical drug user has shifted from a black person to a white person, the rage and fear of drugs has correspondingly declined.

That's part of it too, but I'd argue it happened even earlier with meth taking over from crack as the poor people drug.

Powered Descent posted:It bothers me that the word is clearly supposed to be an adjective but it's also the noun form. Like if dentistry was called "dental". Just "dental". You'd think it'd be called chiropracty or chiropathy or something. I just wanted to offer up: Chiropathology. Because they are using the spine to cause problems.

Wtf is wrong with people? Chiropractors for infants and "urine treatment" for the eyes? We skipped over amulets and charms and went straight back to "kill the rabbit and stare into the pool of blood, that will let you know how pregnant you are".

Apparently some NYC families hosted "measles parties" because now everyone is pretending like it's not a big deal, it's just like chicken pox. So they'd probably think that any infectious disease their kids caught at the anti-vaxx rally is a good thing.

Chicken pox was nasty but at least it didn't kill millions before vaccinations came along. I actually attended chicken pox parties as a child, but I didn't get it until 13 and it was not pretty. It is worse as you get older. I had them on my eyeballs and in my throat. I would have preferred being born later and getting the vaccine.

Add in the community building effect and you get poo poo like this: I can see people turning to quackery because of desperation (cancer cures, etc.) but it's still difficult to parse the mind of the kind of person who thinks it's all a scam from the foundation. Like, maybe the lack of availability led to people just renouncing stuff wholesale? For sure, modern medicine is a scam in the sense that it's made too expensive for most people in the U.S. to afford but as far as treatment goes, the usefulness is beyond question. I have a family member that I barely talk to anymore because of this poo poo. It's only a matter of time before one of their children gets sick and it's easier to just write them off now than to await the misery helplessly. Social media was definitely the culprit there.

Picnic Princess posted:Chicken pox was nasty but at least it didn't kill millions before vaccinations came along. Yeah chicken pox tends to be milder the younger you are, though there are some complications in certain at-risk populations. Contrast that to measles, where most deaths occur in children younger than five. Measles killed 2.6 million people globally in 1980, but less than 75k in 2014 because of vaccinations. Less than 10k people die from chickenpox globally every year so it's not really even in the same league as measles. The vast majority of people who get measles probably won't die from it, but the symptoms are a lot worse than chicken pox oh and there's no reason to get it because the vaccine is highly effective.

We didn't even knew it existed at that age and had no idea what to do. He was juat suffering immensely and even the doctor was ahocked because he was otherwise healthy, it was bizarre and has made me paranoid ever since. Anyway I saw this on a post about taxing volcanoes for producing CO2 amd thought it would be very useful in the future.

It also doesn't help that the Nixon administration wanted to associate hippies and black people (you know, two groups that were traditionally pretty liberal and anti-war) with certain social ills. Weed was heavily associated with hippies and cocaine with black people so guess what they went after the hardest.

I got shingles in my mid-20s because grad school was so stressful (I am otherwise extremely healthy). The doctor was shocked and didn't even have any literature available on it because it was so rare in people my age. Wish the chicken pox vaccine had been available when I was a kid.

It's like someone who I once heard talk about how libs' support for welfare and abortion were part of Margerat Sanger's plan for black genocide. You see, they were gonna encourage them to have large single-parent families with welfare, which they would in then deal with by having abortions. I guess the plan is that they'd overcompensate.

I know it’s from pages ago, but what’s up with those people freaking out about the MK women? They just look... normal, and they’re all conventionally attractive. Absolutely none of them look like men. What’s causing this? Do these guys have brains so rotten from watching anime that anything that isn’t lolicon no longer reads as feminine to them?

They used to be dressed in much skimpier outfits. The faces in the last few MKs have been scary, this one is actually a huge inorovement. So I don't know where that side of the complaint comes from.
