I’m not who you responded to, but they have a good point. The difference being who is favored and who is not. In fascism there are in groups and out groups. The real life forms we have today of communism follow that same rule. I think the distinction is who is being targeted. Try to speak out against the Russian government in Russia, it won’t go well. The same thing would certainly happen in a fascist state. Pointing out the small differences between the two is akin to making the distinction between a pedophile and a hebephile. They are both authoritarian in nature.

Well this was kinda my opinion going in, so I wanted a different perspective lol.

I see. So there is supposed to be an authoritarian state in the transitionary period, is what you are saying?

Interesting, I was under the impression the real life forms had just failed; one group got into power and just said “naw” and then stayed in that authoritarian ‘state.’

That doesn’t answer my question unfortunately. In fact kinda muddies the water. Wikipedia says that it strives to be stateless, but how does that contend with the real life versions of communism that most certainly have a state?

I absolutely reject the notion of food science being common knowledge. If you can’t back up what you say with anything when asked, you are simply lying, full of shit, or haven’t actually proved what you claimed.

Yes I know there are regional differences in how food is made that is my whole point. I’m saying there is difference in quality between the two countries, but that has no link to degradation of cornmeal which is what the op claimed, said “I did a study” and everyone just believed them when they quite literally cannot backup what they said.

How hard is it to keep your conjecture to yourself or just simply backup what you claimed?

The point of my comment was to call out the comment poster because it’s obvious they were using their own conjecture and just saying “I did a study.” Very common in this community because people just trust what other people say on face value. The fact they never followed up with anything at all means it was a bot or a dumbass just spouting off at the mouth about some bullshit. I appreciate you taking the time to find similar studies though, thank you.

I was not arguing anything except, “please show me where you read that” because I don’t know about this subject. But if you make a claim about a subject, you should be able to back it up or you’re lying.

I find it hard to buy that Mexican tortilla companies somehow buy only heirloom corn and American companies don’t. We know exactly why the tortillas suck in the US and it’s not cornmeal degradation ffs.

Somebody asked you if you wanted help and you blew up on them. If that isn’t a sign of change needed idk what is. Regardless of what is happening, it’s no way to treat people and you will push the people you love the most with your attitude. Take it from someone who immediately recognized the situation, you’ll need to mitigate something or you will be unhappy. Best of luck, you probably won’t even read this lol.

Pobrecita

There is more backstory I recon. Also poster is likely on the spectrum.

I understand why you are upset, however, you should have just said

“Because I prefer to shop alone, I don’t need anything, thank you”

What people don’t get from the prompt is that your aunt is overbearing and constantly finds a way to “help” you but it’s really just a way for the person to insert themselves into your life to feel more important/relevant because they can’t get in another way or they can’t relate to you or there is some past friction. They are the type of people that ask if you are hungry and won’t accept ‘no’ until you give them the answer they want or until you blow up on them, and you’re the asshole somehow.

When you’re at the beach or some body of water and the dirt, mud, or sand gets on your hands, you get out of the water and start to dry off. I despise the feeling when your hands dry out.

It’s at 0 now! No clue what that says having been previously negative haha

I too, like to post idiotic things on the Internet.

I don’t need to check out the differences in other foods because that isn’t relevant to this discussion. It may be relevant but then you would need to provide evidence of that connection, when it would be probably easier to cite the original source they spoke of, instead of having to provide two different sets of data.

I’m also curious how the degradation of cornmeal even happened, which I’m sure this study would touch on.

I’m going to be honest here, I’m highly skeptical of the quality of cornmeal leading to lower quality tortillas. This is mainly because we already know why they are bad in the states. Not to mention the comment iteself is written like it was a conclusion made in conjecture.

Please cite the study you read/wrote that concludes cornmeal is the reason behind why corn tortillas are so bad in the us and that the deterioration of cornmeal is what led to it.

(Spoiler for anyone reading this, they didn’t have a source and were talking out of their ass about this subject. 0 evidence to back up their claim. Typical of lemmy.)

They aren’t wrong. Corn tortillas in USA are a crime to most hispanics. Go across the border and it’s night and day. Same thing with the bread here.

Unless you’re like a person who is astute at picking up very minute differences, you likely won’t taste a difference.

I had to drive to rural mexico, ‘we’ are making pazole and tamales.

I go to all sides to get the majority of my ‘headlines’

‘free’

So is that ‘sell my data’ free? Or ‘get you hooked on the product and then add a subscription a year later’ free?

Bastards.
