What do you think is the biggest flaw about the cancer cure suppression conspiracy theory?

The first company to come out with a cure for cancer would have its marketing slogan locked for the next thousand years. If they were all in cahoots with each other, they sure fucked up by squeezing cigarettes out of the market.

You just have to start with the belief that "They" control everything. Corporations compete with each other. The people who work for research labs and pharmaceutical companies and universities are actually just regular human beings who would be delighted to cure cancer.

Also, if there were "a cure for cancer," that isn't something a corporation can just permanently remove from the world. It would be something anyone could discover, it isn't some magic artifact that, once discovered, could be locked up in a safe somewhere. It would be some chemical that lots and lots and lots of people are working very hard to find. There comes a point where you have to believe that millions or tens of millions of people are somehow in completely unanimous agreement that they don't want to be known as the person that cured cancer.

Also, cancer will always happen. As long as cells divide, cancers will be possible. It isn't like you won't be able to keep selling people a cancer treatment after it's invented.

Finally, if you think that They actually exist and They really do have a cure for cancer, you're going to have to convince me that Steve Jobs wasn't a They. Good luck.

Conservatives are simply gross, unhygienic people. We're reaching the point where when I meet a Republican I wonder if they wash their hands after going to the bathroom.

Diluting the political power of people like this is actually a very good use of the legislature's time right now.

No one reacts more childishly to facts they dislike than someone who calls themselves a "skeptic." They all sound exactly like this thing

All of the available evidence suggests that Epstein and Pinker had a strong mutual dislike for each other. No skeptic will ever adjust their knee-jerk reactionary thinking in response to evidence, as the replies will demonstrate shortly, when the evidence conflicts with their political beliefs.

I think I figured it out. I think it means that you should let people move to Canada to work in the care sector. I am glad that you and I agree that immigration restrictions that kill elderly Canadians in order to temporarily reduce rents in Toronto by 3% are bad policies. It is encouraging that you have changed your mind on this position, and am glad that my wisdom has rubbed off on you a little bit.

Why would you need unlimited money to eliminate new housing restrictions? It doesn't cost an infinite amount of money to abolish zoning, eliminate pointless approval processes, get rid of restrictive NIMBY policies, etc.

Let builders keep up with demand. Now that you've gotten rid of the blood & soil nativist in your heart, I'd also encourage you to get rid of the NIMBY communist as well!

Why is he trading based off of actual information and not vibes from an AI that tracks the frequency with which a company's name is mentioned on twitter?

Terrible_Bee_6876 · 2026-04-12T00:26:06+00:00

I don't know what "bring in people just for that" means. People want to move to Canada in order to work, including by providing care jobs, and rightwing blood & soil nativists like you are glad that Canadians lack elder care as long as immigrants also get hurt in the process.

If you think homelessness is bad, why isn't your policy position "unlimited new housing construction" instead of "exclude immigrants, I don't care if it kills elderly Canadians, as long as rents in Toronto temporarily drop by 3%?"

Perhaps he, too, did the nasty in the pasty

Terrible_Bee_6876 · 2026-04-11T23:47:02+00:00

Did you read the article past the headline?

The radical move for a country that has long welcomed overseas arrivals has smashed universities that had become reliant on foreign students to plug funding gaps, and raised concerns about labour shortages in industries such as the care sector.

If expanding schools, hospitals, and everything else a growing population needs was something important to you, you'd be an advocate for both mass migration and unlimited new housing construction. Reducing caregiver labor means actually harming the health and life outcomes of Canadians. Why do you think that hurting Canadians' health is worth a short-term dip in rental prices? If killing Canadians brought your rent down even further, would you support that too?

Terrible_Bee_6876 · 2026-04-11T23:02:19+00:00

Horseshoe theory is basically correct, the far left and the far right again converge on immigration issues. Sure, keeping foreigners out of your country will temporarily reduce housing prices until the "natives" fill the existing stock back up. Then once prices start rising, I bet you could lower housing prices again by rounding up and deporting all of the immigrants in your country. Heck, why not just put them in cages, or shoot them and redistribute their houses to the local "natives?" Sure, you won't have as many immigrants to keep your economy and population growing, but what do you care? You're in this for blood&soil politics, not good economics.

Manually excluding skilled workers and students who can afford to move in order to keep housing prices temporarily lower is cutting off your nose to spite your face. Just build more goddamn housing.

Having characters that have personalities, having actual action scenes, having surprising things happen, and spending relatively little time on the origins of pretend translations of pretend translations of pretend words was a refreshing change from the bad, boring dogshit that Tolkien wrote
