Didn’t bayer recently sell to another company?

Heh. So Monsanto's now like a game of hot potato [or latchkomb[1]]?

Positive sign.

[1: "There is a popular Moclan game called latchkum that we play from time-to-time. I do not believe you would enjoy it; it is not for humans."]

"remarkably safe" as in one can make a remark about it being safe.

Though...

Only if one looks only at one tiny teensy narrow aspect of biology (like humans don't have the shikimate pathway), or if one does not lie or speak from ignorance.

But even that GRAS by virtue of humans not having a shikimate pathway, is utter bunk in the whole of our health. Half our gut buddies that we depend on for a functional immune system and digestive system, do have a shikimate pathway. Not to mention the catalytic carcinogenic effects of glyphosate, or, even if you get it dry enough to have its breakdown be expedited enough to a short enough half-life within the lifetime of (typically >90% wet bodied) human , to get past those catalytic carcinogenic effects, the breakdown products are not good for us either... nor for the biosphere. Cumulative harms.

But hey, don't worry, everybody.

The corporation has genetically modified species that can survive Glyphosatiation. So all you need to do to survive is to have those patented genes, so the corporation owns you, then you'll be fiiiiiiine. It's all part of the plan. Codex Alimentarius. The plan to own all life on earth. Yaaaaaaay, capitalism! Yaaaaaaay, monopoly! Yaaaaaaay, daddy corporation is here to save us, by owning us. Don't you all feel relieved that it's just a protection racket threatening your life, and all human life, and all life, just an anthrocide threat and an ecocide threat, to coerce us into being owned, rather than the certain end of [nearly] all life on earth? Don't you feel relieved? Phew. I know I do. I thought for sure we were in a lot of trouble there. }( ¬)_( ¬){ We'll be owned and be happy.

Gee that's a nice life and biosphere you have there. It'd be a shame if anything bad were to happen to it. Pay no attention to the solution space upstream. I have a jab I'd like to sell to you. Those are normal contrails.

... Brutal jokes for brutal times.

(Oh wow. No one replied with this quote yet...)

“We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.” ― Buckminster Fuller

The MAGA peeps are not your tyrant to overthrow. They're people with the same principle you espouse with:

It’s our country and it is great because people stood up and defended it.

Now is our turn to defend freedom.

The sooner people realise that, the better, for ceasing falling for pitchforks vs torches, and realising the man behind the curtain; realising the emperor wears no clothes.

This is no time for pitchforks vs torches.

Spread the word. Stop falling for it.

The lesser-consequence differences that divide you are trumped up by your oppressor, to keep you divided and conquered. Stop falling for it. Unite for freedom. Stop uniting with authoritarian curated divisive groupthink. Every little of this helps.

That's the spirit! XD

For one example,

Wake up to that fact, and do something about it, like learning how to not be that, and how to do... well, not that [plan a heist ~ lol], but something else, something beneficial, to get out of the trap. I don't know what. Maybe put a sign up saying "Want to start an amish community with me?" *shrug*

PS, 2 other tidbits that reminds me of... 1st, in my teens (decades ago), I graffiti'd on a friend's wall art of the american flag, the phrase "one dollar, one vote", and the friend welcomed satirical calling-out. and the 2nd, "It must be a trap" "Then why are you still going?" "I want to find out what kind of a trap it is.", from Akira always sticks in my mind. :D

[Edit: OH! Or... to answer your

Wake up and do what?

question another way...

just exactly as I said:

not fall for having their awakening psyop’ed into another divisive perverse managed groupthink.

Do that.]

Heh. Just noticed on this lemmy instance I'm on,

  1. Uploading or posting content that is illegal in Denmark, is prohibited.

Without people pushing back on such things as this criminalisation of VPNs, how long before people wouldn't even be able to post about it?

Daunting bubble of censorship making a malignant cancer of ignorance.

for being riddled with both genocide and [for want of a better word] tyranny*.

[* suppression of hemp and other emancipatory technologies, segregation, slavery, jingoism and coups, corruption, robber barons, colonialism and more genocide, etc]

No no, just keep chanting "USA! Number one!" more often again. That'll mend it. LOL. Or at least just give us all a good laugh at you. Always funny when you guys do that. Like "this is fine" wasn't strong enough.

helpful to the crooks doing the puppeteering, to get away with it, with their fallguy puppets taking the blame, while they bask in the grace of an appeased and placated populace, free to safely perpetrate their cons another day.

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 day ago

The puppet master bankers will have their puppets do their bidding and take the blame for it.

Maybe the solution space is further upstream yet.
