    Both are bad, one is far worse, and the corrupt politicians on both sides are bought by the same types of corporate and political interests. Chuck Schumer, Haley Stevens, and John Fetterman are particularly egregious examples.

    I don’t know why so many Americans can’t understand this.






  • I think it depends on how close to full choking you get. Gentle to moderate, broadly dispersed “chokingesque” pressure is fine as it doesn’t significantly interrupt blood flow. Using enough force or concentrating force to occlude the carotid arteries is asking for trouble.

    Not only is there the risk of ischemic brain damage, the carotid sinus, located where pressure is often placed, is prone to arterial plaque formation due to increased turbulence. Disrupting those plaques can break them loose, causing a stroke. That’s how a mate of mine lost much of the use of his right arm, though I suspect he wasn’t getting choked out. Never asked though.
