  RFK is the best illustration of the difference between informed skepticism and ignorant denialism.

  The throughline of all his ideals is that health is a personal choice. Right wing people accept this because it means that we are not responsible for each other. Health-nut people accept this because it means that their quality of life is always going to be under their control.

  Both of these ideas is so utterly wrong that it’s no wonder that people who accept them say and believe such silly things.

    But there is a very high component of personal responsibility in health. Two things can be true at the same time, and in this case we have a personal responsibility to be as healthy as it is possible not only for our own good but for the greater good of society since good diet, exercise etc all improve your immune system, your mental health etc which affects society at large as much as you as an individual.

    It’s 50/50 really.

      I’m not talking about personal responsibility as in “don’t smoke cigarettes”. I’m talking about “ultra-processed foods are the mono-cause for all human disease”.

      These people don’t believe in health-risks. They believe that everyone who ever gets sick could have chosen not to.

      we have a personal responsibility to be as healthy as it is possible not only for our own good but for the greater good of society

      Ironic how fast “personal responsibility” becomes “you owe your body to the State”. But even if we ignore the totalitarianism of your system, it’s still wrong.

      Smokers and the Obese incur fewer lifetime health costs than joggers. So by your reasoning, it’s suddenly patriotic and prosocial to smoke, be a couch potato, and eat potato chips. People who work out are selfish and hate America.

  Every photo of RFK Jr. is taken during a brief moment between his being face down in a mountain of crushed Adderall.

    He looks strung out on heroine to me. They might have that guy doped up.

  This picture always makes me think he looks like Rodney Dangerfield’s animated corpse doing standup comedy at the behest of an orange necromancer.

    His skin does have a sort of Frankenstein’s monster patched-together look to it there.

      It has that in every photo of him. Leathery and ill-fitting.

  Is this edited? He looks rough, even compared to just a few months ago. His job would still be stressful, but probably much less so if he were doing a good job. Pretty ironic that he’s harming his own health through his stances on healthcare while incorrectly attributing the poor health of the Americans to their own stances toward healthcare.

    He’s 71. America needs to get over it’s fetish of old men politicians. Every single position of elected government should have two term limits.

      It’s not a fetish, they’re the only people that want to go into politics.

      At 25, when people are eligible, they have usually worked for a bit and politics isn’t on their mind.

      Old people can also afford to fuck around with the economy more, they got theirs.
