@Dianathy Racism is also opposed to the nation's core values, but apparently that's perfectly ok.
@rasterman @cirnog @ChristiJunior @DK_Dharmaraj @Mogami @NEETzsche @inorez my grandfather's body was riddled with bullet holes from his experience as a hero soldier in the Italian theater of world war II. One day, he was walking down the street with his best friend and his friend was alive one moment and just dead the next. He and millions of people like him made tremendous sacrifices to fight for freedom. He grew bitter as he aged, watching the freedom that he fought for fade away anyway.
If he was alive today, he would throw up watching what we have done with the world he fought to protect.

I'm fully vaxxed (until they change the definition of that -- it's coming)
It was a decision I made understanding that the vaccines are essentially experimental and could have acute and chronic side effects. I made the decision based on balancing the risks against the responsibility I have to maintain. It was my decision to make.
The fact that I made the decision a certain way doesn't mean I want to force my decision onto anyone else. I don't think I'm special, that my judgement is supreme. I just did what I thought was best and it was a gamble.
Regardless of the above, vaccine passports are simply evil. Asking people for their papers to participate in society is an icon for the worst regimes in history, an icon of repression, an icon of evil.
These people think they're the good guys. So did the Nazis. They're wrong, just like the Nazis. For people who seem to care so much about what history thinks of them, they are awfully ignorant of how history has judged people like them previously.

@Jkid @LouisConde @apropos @jeffcliff @rabbitsonthemoon tbf, we're in the roaring 20s equivalent. People who are investing in the markets are making money had over fist!
Peter Schiff has pointed this out: Markets are now higher than they were 2 years ago. Before the coronavirus, before lockdowns, before supply chain disruptions, companies are priced higher today than they were back then. That's absolutely absurd!!! There's no reason for it!

@FreeinTX @jeffcliff @LouisConde @apropos @rabbitsonthemoon @schnappi Let's be real: Both countries chose to keep the borders open. Now....certain political affiliations called it xenophobic and racist to close borders at the beginning of the pandemic and as a direct result they gave the virus carte blanche to spread, but on the other hand there's no longer any political affiliations with clean hands. Virtually everyone has been complicit.
@FreeinTX @jeffcliff @LouisConde @apropos @rabbitsonthemoon @schnappi With the seizure of the scientific establishment by political actors, we can't know for sure anyway.
Whatever the news media tells you is orthodoxy this week is what you must support in your medical practice or your research papers, or your career will end. It's as if the tobacco industry was given steroids.
Asbestos is safe and such a great idea you're basically killing your family if you don't fill your house with it. Thalidomide is the safest morning sickness medication out there. Tobacco has vitamin E that's really good for your lungs. We're in the middle of a similar moment in time, and nobody seems to care that history is repeating itself.

@jeffcliff @LouisConde @apropos @rabbitsonthemoon @schnappi Look, it's about priorities. Making sure our hospitals have proper equipment is a lower priority than instituting papers please and universal basic income so a can of baked beans costs $100.
@schnappi @jeffcliff @LouisConde @apropos @rabbitsonthemoon They act like hospitals being overloaded is a COVID problem.
About 10 years ago (so long before covid), my wife and I were hit by a car (in our car). It totalled our car and my wife was on blood thinners, massive bruising.
We were in the emergency room for 6 hours and it was looking like another 4 hours at a minimum before anyone even looked at us.
We left, reasoning that if she was going to die, she would have already.
If 10 years later that same hospital is still just as overloaded, why is it suddenly because of COVID?

Great. Next they'll ask us to head into showers that are guaranteed to prevent anyone who uses them from dying ever again.
They're lovely. Smell like almonds.

@jeffcliff @rabbitsonthemoon @LouisConde @apropos Really doesn't matter.
Over 90% of eligible people in my region are vaccinated. Nothing has changed, except now we've got a bunch of minimum wage asking for eine papers.
All the powers that be do is ignore that they got to the latest arbitrary goal and move the goalposts yet again and institute more violations of our basic human rights.

@LouisConde People who don't fill their homes with asbestos are retards, cowards who don't realize it's the miracle mineral. You're basically murdering your family if you don't have a house built with extensive use of asbestos.
These people in media seem to actually think the people who were in charge during these events were morons or pure evil, rather than doing exactly what they're doing right now.
They'll ultimately be looked at the same as those who pushed for asbestos.

It doesn't matter if you do what they want you to do. They're going to have their boots on our necks forever.
Heil der fuhrer Trudeau.

@jeffcliff You don't have the killer coof or anything?
We don't see eye to eye on everything, but I like you and want you to have a long and fruitful life in which you can read old literature.

@jeffcliff I believe that there are translations of candide available on the Internet. I'm pretty sure I read it back in college.
@mono Most of the big projects hate you.
"Code of conduct" used to mean "Here's how not to be a total dick". Now it means "Kneel".
It's incredibly entitled to me. "If you want to freely donate your time to our project YOU SHALL FOLLOW OUR EVERY DIRECTIVE OR ELSE YOU MAY NOT DONATE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME AN EXPERTISE TO US"
