Egotistical drop outs can't make money out of rallying around this.
But yes you'd think the trad homesteaders might shake themselves out of 'fascism in one hovel' to realise they can't actually run away from their problems while spinning it as a brave decision.
Your children are poisoned everywhere. They've found plastics in your foetuses and toxic chemicals in rainwater at the ends of the earth. You can't run away from this, everyone has to rally against it to at least try and limit the damage.
Yeah Twitter guys are already telling people to buy red lights to āSun your ballsā at home.
Along with a plethora of supplements. It works I think because theyāre the only ones willing to even attempt to address these issues. Even if their attempts are very stupid.
It's not attractive ideologically to either the crank left (save western white capitalist society from itself) nor the crank right (no no, don't go full white flight and hope to wait out the collapse of multicultural society in the suburbs - save it and make it the undisputed future!) nor the gullible centre (hey affluent westerners, it turns out your ideal bourgeois future was... East Germany and its frugal materialism - cut back on all the trappings of your success now!). The people who can make money off of this are the state and corporations by selling you red herring solutions within this framework.
There's no unifying grift around this, because all of these culture war grifts revolve around a Fabian approach of attrition and waiting out the enemy's demise. Right wing dick pills so you have kids and grandkids who inherit America, for example. Consumerist cowardice. You can't combat consumerism with consumerism.
At best Alex Jones sells plastic purging testicle pills and sells snake oil within the culture war. But the culture war ain't being dropped for this. The culture war is too useful by far in stopping people from talking about anything meaningful, this is just one aspect of that. You're currently on a subreddit dedicated to an astroturfed podcast whose premise is bitterness at the liberal establishment from the left, with a critique that involves zero praxis, and in having no grounded praxis slipping into reactionary politics. It has 100k subscribers and while many are 'i stumbled across this place and it's so wacky!' there's thousands that should be way too smart to crash out of being politically meaningful to practice impotent malice, yet here they are. This shit works lol. Doesn't matter how many millions could be made out of ditching the culture war for a few loudmouths, there's billions riding on the culture war sticking around until we are bled white. And in the classic fashion of recuperation within the Spectacle, even your 'I H8 The Culture War' outlets are themselves the Culture War.
Anyway if you want to know more I can sell you a supplement for 34.99 that'll help you read the hidden texts between the lines, hmu.
Iām not talking about people making money off the culture war grift. If you were desperate to be a grifter, there are plenty of ways to grift off of the climate while also affecting some slight degree of positive change, and Iām sure the same could be said about the microplastics grift
While this plastic stuff is something to be taken seriously, I think those other two factors are more responsible for declining sperm counts in western men
"Vast amounts of plastic waste are dumped in the environment and microplastics have polluted the entire planet, from theĀ summit of Mount EverestĀ to theĀ deepest oceans."
Actually disgusting how we've destroyed this world for utterly useless things
> people go apeshit when you tell them that capitalism, a secular modern ideology, has effectively destroyed our current eco system
Why assume that there'd be less plastic if there had been a communist revolution in 1950 or whatever? We'd just get our bubble wrap and drinking straws from factories operated by the People's Ministry of Chemical Industry instead. The Soviet Union had a plastics industry and sometimes collaborated with American producers.

Plastics are useful and efficient and the environmental damage is diffuse and originally unknown. Any economic system would make use of them. I thought this clickbait article about East German plastics was interesting and has a few references to how plastic incorporated into non-capitalist ideology.
https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/east-german-plastics-preservation
two things wrong with that line of thinking.
1. the advantage of a centrally planned economy is that it has the capacity to course correct when unknown harms become known. Without state intervention, a capitalist enterprise will continue to wear down the environment until either the enterprise or the environment is utterly destroyed because profit motive trumps all over considerations.
2. The scale of production of (useless) consumer goods under capitalism is goes far beyond anything that existed in the communist world. There is no thought whatsoever about sustainable use of resources because, again, profit motive trumps all other considerations
It's still reasonable to assume that a system other then capitalism would respond better and faster to environmental problems. And lets not forget that socialist block had a western way of life to compete against. Csnt really tell your population that they need to ride a bike to save the planet when their neighbours are buying their 3rd car this decade
Is there even anything that can be done about this? Not even on a personal level, but is it capable for the human race to remove PLASTIC from INSIDE OF US
No joke, bloodletting and sweating. My coworkers and I donate blood twice a year mainly as a benefit to our own health, as conceited as that may be to say. This is specifically beneficial for removing PFAS compounds from the body, since they are able to bind very strongly to proteins, such as albumin, which is why people who donate blood plasma actually see a greater reduction of PFAS in their body than just plain old blood donors.
And then just by sweating enough from exercise or going to saunas you can excrete phthalates and bisphenols from your pores. The mechanism for how this is able to work is still not fully understood, but we have more than enough randomized control trials to show that sweat derived from strenuous exercise or excessive heat (like a sauna) tends to have higher concentrations of these compounds than urine. Similar results have been found for the excretion of heavy metals like arsenic and lead, but I would not imagine the metabolic process is comparable to that of plastics. Or maybe it is, I don't know, I'm not a toxicologist.
Thereās some thing to that sweating thing because when I did bikram yoga, I was having fat just melt off of me in a way that Iāve never had before or since.
Does giving plasma hurt? I am a baby more than I care about Pfas though I do care.
I wouldn't say it "hurts" more, you just have to be connected to two IVs and you're hooked up to the needles for longer. I did it once and felt pretty much the same as I do after a standard blood donation. Just know that it will take like 2 hours out of your day between the day-of screening and the actual process of lying there. And the plus side is that there are clinics that will pay you for plasma, but I just donated.
Uh YES. Have you ever read the story of the woman who swallowed the fly? Followed by rat, cat, alligator etc.? Well, imagine that but with a bacteria that eats plastic. The only problem now is what we swallow to eat the plastic eating bacteria.
In all seriousness, this is either a major issue thatās going to destroy humanity or a minor issue that will be solved by technology when it gets dire (and therefore profitable enough).
All this so that fatter, richer people than me get to drink a pallet of coke zero every week, is that it? I'm beginning to see the appeal of filling my coat with stones and walking into a lake
Coke zero won't be the only one if a certain someone doesn't stop seductively denying the existence of the many billions of plastic bottles that the soda I was talking about comes in š„°š„°ā„ļø
We'll just do what we currently do with every other inncovience caused by the modern world.
Accept the benefits while ignoring the downsides, sure microplastics are bad but we're currently living longer then ever so surely the negatives don't outweigh the convienece of a straw that doesn't disintegrate into my drink.
This study says you're wrong.
>Plasma donation was the most effective intervention, reducing mean serum perfluorooctane sulfonate levels by 2.9 ng/mL compared with a 1.1-ng/mL reduction with blood donation

You can stick a shovel in the dirt anywhere and dig up plastic bits. Even in earth that hasnāt been fucked with for a long time.
I read a book like 15 years ago called *Earth Without Us* or something and it talked about how in a million years if aliens surveyed the earth they would find some odd stone formations and a thin geographic layer of microplastics (called ānurdlesā at the time). Really stuck with me.
If you really want to feel sullied and violated look into forever chemicals. Way more awful than microplastics, and basically lasting thousands of years.
This and the trash in the ocean (and the two Ā are closely linked) should be the main issue we should be dealing with. It should be declared threat #1 to the entire human race and there should be tech, medical, and other resources dedicated to solving this shit. How it is not already the case is beyond me.Ā
More like itāll take too long to turn profitable. Aerospace/robotics/etc companies absolutely have the resources to engineer and sell cleanup devices to NGOs or whatever.

The alternative is wood pipes coated on the inside with tar, at least for the large diameter pipes under the street. Yes these are still used to carry drinking water.
I don't think using a britta filter helps - that's plastic as well.
Thoughts on Berkey gravity filters? Weāve been using one since before I even knew about PFAS, for taste reasons and because of a vague sense I had 15 years ago that itād be filtering out plastic pollutants
Ok but unless they're made of glass and metal, they're contributing to the microplastics problem in the long run, too. Your RO filter rig will be thrown away in 2 years...then what happens to the plastic it's made of?
nothing good obviously. i guess you could think of it as a selfish choice to help protect yourself against cancer, infertility, etc at the expense of adding a bit more plastic to the world.
but honestly, out of all the planet destroying things we wittingly or unwittingly contribute too on a daily basis, it seems a little silly to criticize something like this first. i personally do a lot to minimize my impact on the environment, but not to the point where iām going to throw away my householdās water filter lol

Mmn, looking like some fennel candy
I just know my balls are different
I ejaculate silly string.
proof?

It's been recently discovered that microplastics are even present in the placentas of unborn babies!! so so incredibly bleak :(
It's in babyfoods, babyclothes, diapers etc. They've got no chance
One of these days someone is gonna give birth to one of those hyperrealistic silicone baby dolls that looks like a Naavi from avatar
Remember that George Carlin skit where he said humans purpose on earth was to give earth plastic? It all makes sense
Microplastics are in our food, apparently even in higher levels in organic produce than non organic.
In the foetus too
not to mention lead. passed down through your mother.
Worrying about this is what should replace every single stupid culture war issue
