Not an expert but I am a patient.
Immune system reset is already a type of therapy for MS. Lemtrada and Mavenclad are two brand name drugs that work on this principle. You don’t take them for life. That’s good because they make you very ill, but after 2 rounds of treatment you can go years without needing any further therapy.
Could the measles virus work better than these drugs? Maybe, but all the reasons at the top of the comments present challenges.
Some of them wanted it out of government. The fundies of the day we’re willing to go along because their parents and grandparents were chased out of England for being wackados.
All of the practices in the book are inspired by real history.
It’s not about fairness for them. It’s just power.
Let them. Let them lie. They don’t care about truth, evidence, or justice. Why should we care what they lie about?
Exactly. They don’t want a white ethnostate, and they wouldn’t appreciate the level of totalitarianism it would take to pull off that kind of ethnic cleansing.
Sure they can, until their cousins, spouses, and neighbors start disappearing, their coworkers, employees, and representatives.
My city has plenty of racists, but even a casual racist might think twice when more than half the city is being deported.
Not every trump voter is 100% in board with his policies.
A shocking amount of people are just floating through life on Vibes. They don’t know why they do things, it just feels like they should. This applies right up to the ballot box.
Economic meltdown, most of the population has no one that would take them so they will end up either in camps in failed/failing countries or inside the US itself.
Also getting the white population to agree to do it would be a big lift. The majority would passively oppose and a minority would go full on underground railroad/insurgency.
Only a minority would be totally on board.
I don’t see anything weird about this. Sounds like parenting.
What public transport?
It’s changing back. Trump is quietly re-aligning the US with Russia.
I met my wife on OK cupid. 8 years ago though.
Nothing will fundamentally change until people are skipping meals. Not, like, a few people, more than half the people.
If you want to kill a whole lot of people, your police will suffer and eventually quit if you just have the execute people en mass. This happened to the Nazis and it’s the prime reason the gas chambers were constructed.
The police need to feel like they are doing the right thing.
If just my state left, and I could leave to another state, that would be pretty good. Two Republican senators gone, roughly 15 net house reps gone, and an influx of dem refugees like me into neighboring states.
Texas could legit try to make a go of it as an independent nation. It would be a disaster for my family though.
Spirit island is a game where “the spirits” have been living in harmony with humans on the island for generations, but now, new invaders are showing up with guns and cities and destroying the balance. You take the role of the spirits resisting the invaders to defend the island.
Gloomhaven is a massive experience that simulates a small group of adventurers dungeon delving in a fantasy world.
Terraforming mars is about… Terraforming mars. Win historical recognition by making the greatest contribution to humanities most ambitious project.
This will be super regional. A lot of the US a trip the the grocery store is a 30 minute drive one way. They make that trip once a month and load up their SUV with all their groceries.
Some people work 3 Jobs and their schedule is super tight, so even a 10 minute trip is a burden they would rather risk porch pirates than deal with.
I believe there are lots of places that porch pirates make delivery to door or mailbox just unrealistic. Personally I have never been a victim of theft to my knowledge. My knee jerk response to mitigation strategies is “why? It’s not a problem for me” and I suspect most of my neighborhood this would be true.
So I suspect Americans reaction will vary dramatically by region. I see the Amazon dropoff locations and the boxes in stores near me and I don’t see anyone use them.
I sometimes wonder if I am ever broke and hungry if I could just grab some food off the pickup shelf in a restraint near me. I won’t, because I am not broke and have never needed to skip meals, because I am fortunate to have friends and family support even when I was broke. But it must not be a huge problem where I am or those shelves would not have food on them.
Seem fairly sound and self evident. Obviously there can be disagreements on judgement, but I can’t think of an scenario where the greater evil should not be opposed.
