I listen to the Last Podcast on the Left and I’m learning now about the DuPonts. I’m astounded how it may seem like so little people know of them aside from the listeners. These are actual demons in living people to do the things they do. For example, they’re responsible for Teflon which is produced using C8 chemical. This is a forever chemical.

To give you an idea as to how royally fucked the world has been, Teflon is in numerous things that we use everyday. It is in the non-stick cookware we use. It’s in waterproof fabrics. Food packaging. Just a lot of shit. And we use these things - every. day. This chemical, once it is in you, it’s in you until even through death hence it being a forever chemical and there’s no way you can be rid of it. It can spawn cancerous cells in your body.

And I’m just listening to all of this thinking “Forget half of the shit we’re gearing our anger towards, it’s THESE people we need to draw and quarter!” because of the insurmountable damage and influence they’ve been in so many things that has everyone’s lives in a stranglehold.

    Without chemical companies, the modern world wouldn’t exist.

    It’s easier to say OK let’s go back to the Stone Age but who’s going to pick the 6 billion people that have to die so we can do that because there’s no way that subsistence agriculture can keep 9 billion people alive.

    Sure, there have been plenty of evil people who work for chemical companies have done evil things.

    But no more than the evil bankers that allow cities to exist wit lh their high density, housing, and sidewalks bike paths that everybody loves.

    oh yeah, good luck making a bicycle without vulcanized rubber

    This is just sentiments of a child who doesn’t understand the world they live in.
