Meanwhile small aircraft are still using leaded fuel. An actual health hazard he doesn’t appear to give a shit about.

Lead’s neurotoxic effects have long been understood […] as it negatively affects cognitive abilities
Lead made an entire generation what it is today, including RFK Jr.
I was just reading something the other day about how Gen X might have had the highest exposure, so I guess we should brace for impact. If only it had stopped with the boomers…
God forbid a “journalist” actually press him with this.
Oh, for fucks sake! What’s next? Humoralistic rebalancing camps? Leeches?
What the fuck kind of country are you blithering yahoos running over there?
The kind that is not meant to run for very long
This is the culmination of YEARS, decades even, of the anti-intellectuals telling each other that their feelings were just as valid as the knowledge of experts.
“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’” -Asimov
We’ve always had a certain segment of dumb, backwards, willfully ignorant Dunning-Kruger types. It’s just that starting with at least the 90s, they could find each other on the 'net and on things like hatriot radio, and most importantly, monetize this craziness.
At least way back in the day, they had to resort to standing on a corner with a sign or trying to hand out pamphlets or do self-published books, etc…

Heh. Funny anecdote: Years ago, I was sitting in a small coffee shop down near the end of Enghavevej in central Copenhagen. There was this guy standing on the sidewalk. A good 220-250 kg, massive gut. Worn jeans, big buckled leather belt, sneakers, st(r)ained t-shirt and a meshback cap. And yes, you guessed it: Born again American Christian holding a sign, handing out pamphlets.
Or, rather, he wasn’t. It’d be more accurate to say he was holding them. People just looked at him funny and literally walked away, shaking their heads.
Religion is kind of a private thing up here. I’ve only ever seen people holding signs at actual demonstrations and pamphlets are usually put down somewhere, so people can pick them up at their leisure. He seemed mighty confused that the culture was different than what he was used to. I doubt he did his cause any favors that day.

I’ve never lived in the Deep South, but I’ve heard that when people move into the area, they are typically asked about which church they go to. It’s bad enough that they are assumed to be xtian and not just kind of nominal xtians, but active ones. It is (apparently) assumed in some areas that you just go to church. And it’s also assumed that it’s just okay to ask people you only just met such questions.
That is wild to me. I grew up in a fairly rural and red area of Pennsylvania, and it was mostly assumed that people were Protestant xtians where I was. But people rarely seemed to start up with that kind of thing the minute they met you…I wonder what part of the U.S. this guy was from…
“It’s kind of you to inquire. We attend the Church of Satan. There’s this sound proofed basemen- Hey wait! Where are you going?”
The chemtrail book:
…so there I was being pulled by a rope from a plane while surfing the air just standing on this heavy metal wing thing and ignoring all physics laws that would otherwise have the air rip my skin off. I turn around and I saw the chemtrail! A yellow one! It leads to me! My crotch was making chemtrail! It stopped. What a relief! Now to see what’s in this engine chemtrail!. I’m approaching. I’m in it! Oh, its just water vapor. Well, I might as well keep surfing it, ignoring all the laws of physics.
RFK jr wants to feed airplanes antacids so they stop farting in the sky. peeeee-yewwwwwww!
Bobby Brainworm is living a kick-ass life. He’s Secretary of HHS now!
I had to laugh when I saw his wife out there defending him. Jesus, this administration even makes watching something as great as Curb hard to do now. Fuck me running. I just try to forget who the actress is in real life when she’s on-screen.
“It ate a little bit of his brain and died, so don’t worry,” Hines said.
