      Modelled after Doctors Without Borders, it sends practitioners to developing countries to administer the pseudoscience of homeopathy

      something so haunting about wealthy westerners flying around the world to underprivileged or economically underdeveloped areas and, i guess applying salves or some shit?

      ghoulish

        Oh its so much worse. They go to areas pretend to be doctors and offer the locals courses in homeopathy

        But if you want to be real mad, go to their website where you will find claims like homeopathy is better at treating pandemic than “traditional and allopathic medicine”

      This was practically a Carlin bit. carlin-pog

      I’m also working for Ill Will Industries. You’ve heard of Goodwill; this is Ill Will. It’s a little different. You give them brand new items and they break them and sell them to poor people.

      I’m also helping the people at Big Brother-In-Law. Well, that’s for married people who don’t have a brother-in-law but really want one. And they send a man over to your house who has two days growth and no job and he sleeps on your couch for about a year. I see some of you have been helped by that program.

    skeleton-wave Hi, I’m from Draw Lines Around Docs, do you have a moment to talk about forming a small, autonomous enclave of medical professionals in the state currently known as Rhode Island?

    There are actually recognised sovereign groups without a territory. Most notably (and ironically given the post) the Knights of Malta.

    Problem is they’re ridiculous.

    This is a common misconception about doctors without borders. It’s not that they operate independently of a nation, or that they are awaiting to form a nation. It’s just, there’s supposed to also be a complementary group known as the Militaires Sans Frontières, and the two groups would combine into one to make 2/3’s of a nation. Unfortunately, this complementary group manifested in the wrong reality and is part of the reason we’re in the worst timeline.
