Even the DDR wasn't doing socialism. The public had to be all-in the idea, or they were discredited or arrested. It was an authoritarian autocracy acting in the name of socialism.

Bruh - where'd anyone say there isn't a genocide happening in Ukraine?
Let me be clear: The question of Russia's genocide of Ukrainians is no less uncertain than Israel's genocide of Palestinians. If one is genocide, both are genocide.
You're acting like this is some big-brained, "checkmate atheists" point you're making, but it completely falls apart when you consider who is and isn't getting help.
The US is arming Ukraine in it's defense against genocide.
The US is arming Israel in the perpetration of genocide.
If the US was arming Russia instead of Ukraine, you could bet your ass that "the kids" would be "whining" about it just the same, and you'd still be calling it manufactured outrage.
On the other hand - this all begs the question - would the US be so readily aiding Ukraine if the population weren't white and culturally similar? What if the Palestinians were white and christian?
To be fair to people with legitimate celiac disease - many factories process multiple products and don't have to disinfect and sterilize their equipment between products. They may run wheat one day and rice the next. If they don't treat the equipment with a disinfectant certified to eliminate proteins, the rice may pick up gluten from the equipment.
If they state they are gluten free, it (should) mean that they are taking necessary steps to isolate or clean their lines.
It doesn't matter.
Even if the third party candidate was literally the best candidate possible in the eyes of every American - they still wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell at getting elected under a first past the post system.
We must enact and enforce a ranked choice voting system nationally, otherwise it will always come back to red vs blue, and a third party vote is electoral masturbation.
Are you glad because I'm not very inventive, or because my description demonstrates I'm disturbed?
And I have so many additional questions.
- Do they feed this secretion to the live young?
- If yes, wouldn't that technically make them mammals?
- Is the milk harvested before or after live birth?
- If before, where is egg/larva sack, anatomically?
- If in abdomen, how separate are these organs - in other words, are we talking like milk sack, reproductive sack - stick the needle filter too far one way and you've missed the milk and got larvae - or is it like a liquefied mess in there, and that's why they need the filter?
I can go on, but man this is weird...
Did you not see the video of the guy wearing his new tim apple ski goggles, in his semi-self driving Tesla cyber truck?
What makes you think people can behave?
I'm not really sure what point you're making, but really do appreciate the documentary shared.
I look at this in the same way that I deal with dementia patients. Oh wow, that's very interesting, hey I think "price is right" is on TV, let's get you to the couch, and I'll go get your lunch.
Why are we letting illogical opinion carry the same weight as tenured legal expertise and documented objective evidence?
Why should I care that the MAGAt gravy seal wing of y'all qaida get drone striked into oblivion?
They're anti-american traitors, draping themselves in the American flag.
What the fuck did I just read.
If I had an ounce of skill as an artist I'd draw the image evoked by your 13 words.
Tiny milking machines hooked up to billions of restrained cockroaches, extracting their milky secretions.
God damnit
Unless they're evil radical leftist Democrats, those Marxist-Leninist Antifa communist fascist socialists. Then they'll be hanged.
MAGAts get a wrist slap.

No, I think I'm far enough on the left to be aware of capitalist propaganda. In all fairness to you, my statement did not treat the subject with the appropriate nuance the subject should require.
The DDR was socialist. However, it was state socialism, which in my opinion is not ideal and not something we should strive to replicate. Yes, the means of production were "owned by the people," but the state tasks itself with protecting the people. And therein lies the problem with state socialism - the state is easily commandeered by a corrupt minority who then uses the governmental apparatus to run an authoritarian regime. Precisely what happened in the DDR and the USSR.
We should be able to recognize the imperfections in prior socialist attempts, without immediately calling it "capitalist NGO propaganda."
