Right-Wing Discussion Thread XVIII: Hyena Central Command 憶ラ

[JPMorganChase]

I agree with treating obesity as a national security issue. That way we can deal with the issue like the State Department currently deals with any group deemed a national security issue. Every fat person that fails to maintain an average of 10 000 steps per day for a week can expect a Hellfire missile from a Predator drone.

taxing fat people isnt a bad idea after all

This is the worst timeline

It really is. Demolition Man easily has one of the most nefarious dystopias. You aren't drugged up into oblivion like in Brave New World, you aren't dodging the neo-Stasi like in 1984, you aren't living in crime ridden hell hole like Judge Dredd - you just live in an incredibly boring society.

It’s utopian!

Am I joking? The answer, of course, is a resounding maybe...

[Genivaria]

Admittedly, cyberpunk has the best aesthetics. I was just expecting Robocop, Blade Runner, GITS, Neuromancer or Judge Dredd and not fucking Demolition Man.

Are you implying that San Angeles is a dystopia, citizen Nap? It is a perfect society. San Angeles is a beacon of order with the purity of an ant colony and the beauty of a flawless pearl.

Y’know, I don’t even know if I’m joking or not. But I do know that elements of it will be added to my write-up on the Greater Pennsylvanian Hive.

Ugh I can hear his voice while reading that.

I cook so do most other Chinese people.

What do you enjoy making the most?

Chinese fried veggies, chow mein and spaghetti.

Yeah, but how do you tax them? Do you just set an arbitrary maximum weight and charge an extra $100 per year for every pound over the limit? Or do you just slap high excise taxes on everything deemed unhealthy?

its not hard to measure bodyfat, the other alternative is just increasing income taxes on everyone and systematically offering tax credits for people that willingly allow the government to measure their bf% according to how fit they are

The Marxists tbh are right in that we will be condemned to live in the pod and eat the bugs while they get to live the idealized dream behind fortress gates. They will miss us when we are gone.

That's okay with me. I love the pod, it's one of my favourite albums.

[Chernoslavia]

No, you don't need to any of this, that's like saying the availability of guns is why we have high rates of gang violence and such. People just need to learn to have some fucking self control.

The availability of guns in the United States does contribute massively to gun violence though. "Self-control" isn't a very good argument when you have multibillion dollar companies who can afford to spend billions on finding ways to get you to cave and eat their trash. Give me an actual reason Coca Cola and twinkies should exist.

I'm not going to pursue the gun violence part here because we already got a gun control thread. As for why coca cola and twinkies should exist? Because people have the freedom to pick and choose what they want to consume no matter how bad it is for them like alcohol, nobody is forcing anyone to hork down a whole box of twinkies. Banning soda or sweet or fatty foods will just relieve people of any personal responsibility. No bueno.

Give me an actual reason why they shouldn't.

As for a reason they should. IDK about twinkies, but classic coca cola tastes good imo. Even if it makes my teeth furry.

The best Coca-Cola is the Mexican kind, the stuff that sticks to the old formula from before the New Coke debacle.

No nutritional value, contribution to tooth decay and obesity, etc.

Something tasting good is not a reason for it to exist.

Lots of foods have little nutritonal value, and cause obesity. Do you wanna ban them all too?

It's a fair reason for a food to exist, unless you can provide a reason as to why coke violates your rights.

What she pushed to replace the meals with imo was not enough for growing teenagers. Teenagers need energy and nutrition, not just upper middle class old people food. For some of these kids, it's their only meal. We ought to and should do better tbh.

Honestly, those new "healthy" meals ended up being even worse than what we had before.

Chicken? Decent burgers? Big meals? Fuck that, kiddo. Here's three "corndog nuggets" and a microwaved cheese stick. Nice and nutritious m8.

I'm not joking when I say that prisoners eat better than a lot of public school kids. I know because I've had family work for the diners and buffets that make plates to send to prisons. At least the chicken was decent, when we had it; having bad chicken in The South would be sacrilege.

I guess I was lucky because my High School had Chicken Sandwiches, Burgers and Pizza. No fries though, but we had veggies and fruit if we wanted a side dish. The quality of the chicken sandwich was okay, but if you put some BBQ sauce on it, it was pretty decent. The burgers were....C- in quality. The Pizza was the best thing that my school had to offer. Maybe poorer school districts were too cheap to give their students decent meals.

Qanon looks less and less deranged by the day. Any guesses on whether he pulls an Epstein?

Qanon has nothing to do with this. Krugman is just another elitist creep.

Don't like elitism, eh? What are you, a leftist? :^)

Okay, so I have a general "layout" of how some of North America circa 2525 looks.

Stretching from the mid-Atlantic to the Great Lakes and even into southern Ontario is the Greater Pennsylvanian Hive ("Hivers"), a collectivist nation under a system of "bureaucratic despotism"; the ruling ideology of the Hive is somewhat inspired by pre-Cataclysm Mohist thought, with order exalted as the highest good and the state revered as if it were a benevolent God. Aside from their ideological zeal, the Hive is also notable for maintaining an industrial economy on par with the early 20th century, fueled in large part by the coal reserves of northeastern Pennsylvania as well as by hydroelectricity from Niagra Falls.

The lands formerly known as the midwestern and southeastern United States are a lawless sort, with allegiances and borders seeming to fluctuate wildly by the day. Life here is nasty, brutish, and short compared to life in "civilized" regions, but people get by nonetheless. Settlements in this region tend to be small population-wise, with most villages being dedicated to agriculture. Although the devout folks of these parts have a strong sense of community, an unpleasant aspect of life in the midwest is the presence of raiders/warlords/scoundrels, and as such most honest midwesterners tend to be somewhat wary of outsiders.

The largest of the new civilizations of post-Cataclysm North America is easily the Imperium of Tejas, which I've already covered.

I'm gonna do the West Coast (including Kowani's faction) as well as non-national factions (such as the Militant Orders of Louisiana and other such), but at a later time I guess. Maybe later this evening, I dunno.

That image brings back memories of the cafeteria food in elementary/middle school. The food was bad, and I sat alone back then (I didn't become popular and outgoing until high school). I would often do my homework over the lunch period. Thank goodness I was privately educated for my high school years; the food at my high school was amazing, ngl.

I am perfectly okay with doing that.

We live in a society, people's decisions are not made in a vacuum. The cost of obesity and tooth decay on the healthcare budget is an example.

In more civilized times, people would have to fall on their swords for this level of failure.
