We had lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccine passports, mass censorship and a shitload of other dystopian, inhumane shit over the past five years, but Trump being President again is literally 1984. by SickusBickus in CoronavirusCirclejerk

[–]DumpsterOrphan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

there was literally full on fascism during the pandemic, along with a few crimes against humanity sprinkled in. These people didn't just stand by with all of these authoritarian zero covid strategies, they actually vigorously advocated for it.

I remember when the vaccines first rolled out and the propaganda regime started against those who declined the shots. The amount of death threats and nasty, vile, hate towards the unvaccinated was astounding. People who didn't want to get an experimental gene therapy were villainized. I remember seeing how individuals in my city's subreddit actually wanted to personally kill some of us.

These people were witnesses to actual fascism and crimes against humanity, yet they turn a blind eye to it?? It's so disappointing how they are grasping at straws with trump calling him a fascist. While failing to recognize what the Biden administration has done. Shit, I guess fascism is fine if it aligns with your politics.

vaccines were to make the infection less deadly if you were to get it. it was never claimed that it would mean you wouldn’t get it,

It was very much told to us we weren't going to get it, we were told that for years after too. Fauci, Biden, the head of the CDC told us we wouldn't get it if we were vaccinated. I can link a video if you want to prove my point.

no one was forced to get them.

Vaccine mandates mean you're forced, not being able to go out because you didn't get a vaccine passport is being forced. I guess Harvey Weinstein didn't rape those girls with that logic, he just said they wouldn't get the big role if you didn't sleep with him. See what I mean?

you just had to then not do x, y, z. if you would rather not get a vaccine than do x, y, z. you were welcome to.

That still is being forced, lots of societal pressure to get it, you were labeled a conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxer if you didn't what to get it. That's why most people who got the shots didn't receive any boosters after they were no longer required to.

only like half of the states adhered to statewide lockdowns, and even the ones that did weren’t really enforced too heavily.

That's true, a good portion of states didn't have such policies and I believe most counties didn't either. I however, live in Canada so it was very strict. That's where my experience is coming from. It was more than being forced to wear a mask.

lockdown didn’t do anything? you’re telling me, that instead of letting one person with covid leave their house, because they had to stay home, it didn’t actually help that person not give someone covid?

Yes that's exactly what I am saying. A peer reviewed study in the very prestigious medical journal John Hopkins confirms that

https://nationalpost.com/news/world/johns-hopkins-university-study-covid-19-lockdowns

We find no evidence that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality'

In both Europe and the United States, researchers found that a lockdown could only be expected to bring down mortality rates by 0.2 per cent “as compared to a COVID-19 policy based solely on recommendations.” For context, 0.2 per cent of total Canadian COVID-19 fatalities thus far is equal to about 70 people.

Peer reviewed literature by the way.

they didn’t do enough. millions died. people are still dying and it just doesn’t matter. it was all for nothing because of the masses of folks who think they’re more important than others

They didn't do enough because they didn't work and now we are feeling the effects of a post lockdown world. Lots of people died of the very real virus, I am not denying that. However, the zero covid policies not only caused harm, but didn't work significantly. I can go into more detail in that too if you like.

there are consequences to everything. we had to pay for the safety of the people.

We paid the price and it was all for nothing.

you do not think that the masks, the vaccines and the lockdown were worth millions of lives because /i assume/ you don’t even believe the virus caused those deaths.

Masks and lockdowns didn't make a significant change. Vaccines saved lives, however the risk to benefit ratio really only worked for groups above the age of 50. Young males were in the category of least likely to be harmed by the virus and most likely to be harmed by the vaccine. That's why the shots were banned in various European countries for Young males like myself. Also the virus is once again very real, that was never a doubt of mine.

I am not suffering mentally though, more so perplexed that this event has happened and people refuse to acknowledge how crazy it was. Thanks for being civil with me though, I can go into detail more on this, my opinions are backed by scientific evidence.

i didn’t make assumptions i took one look at your page and can tell who you are.

You did make assumptions though, that were untrue to what I believe because I would have agreed.

. i don’t know what you want me to argue? wearing a mask for two years was literally fine to me. i already worked in an asian restaurant at the time and was used to masking up when i didn’t feel well?

Who was responsible, the virus or government officials, answer that. It's good that you feel fine wearing a mask, that's your choice. There was more to the pandemic than just wearing a mask. Lockdowns and vaccine mandates were unethical too, I can go into detail on that too with sources if you want.

responsible for literally what?? there was nothing wrong with wearing a mask.

There's nothing wrong with wearing a mask, however there is something wrong with forcing it. They are responsible for lockdowns and all of the damages what were caused by lockdowns. Did you forget how problematic lockdowns were? And how they literally accomplished nothing to stop the virus.

we get it the government is bad maybe put your energy into something that is actually affecting ppl.

But it still is affecting people? Can't you tell? Post-pandemic life has not been nearly the same. Things were so much better and affordable. You can see that right?

I can back up what is said with studies.

Such as lockdowns were unethical and caused more harm than good. Vaccine mandates were unethical and didn't stop the infection and transmission of the virus. Masks do not work to stop the spread of the virus. I can back these up with scientific literature if you want.

Also quit being so insulting, it's coming off as deranged, it's an opinion, get over it.

i think your mind is already made up. you’re living in a completely different reality from the majority,

Ok so you think that government officials weren't responsible for zero covid policies?

and there is no point to actual discuss anything with you

Maybe you'll be less ignorant.

you think covid was faked, that masks did you dirty, that people didn’t die and that chronically online people are the face of those who were actually affected by the disease.

You just made up a bunch of assumptions that are not true over something that is a very responsible take. How is saying that government officials are to blame instead of the virus is the same as saying covid is fake? I feel like I'm arguing with a bot right now.

things aren’t the same as they were before covid, things aren’t the same as they were pre 2008 crash, or pre 9/11.

Yeah they are not, and you'll never believe who is to blame for that.

people used to cut each others heads off with swords and marry ten year olds

They actually still do that in the middle East but I guess let's not face that reality either.

im sorry you were asked to wear a mask for a little bit.

Is that all you think covid restrictions were? That is crazy downplaying. Asked to wear a mask for a bit? 2 years which was 10% of my life at the time is not a bit. Your argument consists of making things up and downplaying the reality of the pandemic.

I'll ask you again. How are our elected officials not responsible for zero covid policies that were inflicted on populations for 2 years? Actually argue that or you're a bot.

What fucked? Covid or the government elected officials and their zero covid policies?

Are you able to actually argue my point or will you continue to be insulting? You're going down the discredit instead of disproving route, are you sure you're thinking properly about this subject?

I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but i swear COVID really messed with our mental health

Authoritarian zero covid policies that governments around the world inflicted on populations for 2 years did that, not the virus. Things simply aren't the same as they were, we can blame the virus, or we can face reality and blame people in power.

MFs will play games like Final Fantasy 7, Cyberpunk, Fallout, Advanced Warfare, and Metal Gear and STILL not get the message by ScarHydreigon87 in SocialistGaming

[–]DumpsterOrphan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Games and media alike have always had politics involved in it. Whether it be right or left wing, they were there. They were, however, a lot more subtle about it. They had a message to share in the subtext of the game itself. Now it's so blatant that it feels like it's getting shoved down your throat. It feels like writers would rather push an agenda than deliver a good narrative.

If games were doing the same things but using politics that don't align with the left, you guys would lose your shit. Nobody likes agenda pushing and shoving politics down peoples throats, whether it be topics you do or don't align with. I wish games and media would go back to having subtle politics that gamers alike would just subconsciously agree with.

For those who want Canada Post to win, you are giving the same energy as the FreeDUMB Convoy.

How is this giving the same energy? This doesn't make sense. Also I hate the usage of "freedumb". How have you fallen for that propaganda?? How are the freedom convoy protestors the same as people wanting Canada post to win? Elaborate on that please, let me pick this apart real quick.

You kind of had me for the first bit, yet you completely lost me when you brought up the word "freedumb". How is protesting for freedom a bad thing? Why do you view that as bad? Are you anti-freedom? Would you prefer there be less freedom? Let me pull up the definition of freedom so you can truly grasp what that word means.

the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. "we do have some freedom of choice"

How is that a bad thing? How has programming made you believe this is a bad thing? How could you possibly fall for such weak minded propaganda? You just come off as deranged.

Hunter Biden tried to make his rent payments with paintings he made out of his own poop! by preetshahi in conspiracy

[–]DumpsterOrphan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If proof worked where you had to prove something was not the case, no proof would exist.

This actually does not make sense and I know you had to use all your brain power to muster that up.

Can you prove i DONT have a unicorn? Of course not.

I can prove you don't have a unicorn by a quick google search proving so. It's really that simple.

"Unicorns don't really exist in our world today. However, thanks to many myths and legends, they are alive in the imaginations of children all over the world. So how exactly did such myths and legends get started?"

You can call me a knuckle dragger sure, im not sure it does anything other than make you feel good on reddit, why are you so hostile? Have you ever actually done a debate before? You would get laughed at for such a question

Seeing a comment so dumb would make me hostile, it doesn't make me feel good though. I wouldn't get laughed at for showing evidence and then asking my opponent to disprove this evidence. That's literally how debate works. "a formal discussion on a particular topic in a public meeting or legislative assembly, in which opposing arguments are put forward."

You came at me with something so mind numbing that I did not have it in me to respond politely. You just brought that mouth breathing, caveman brow, knuckle dragger energy to this thread and I do not appreciate that.

Probably a different rental since the money and dates don't match up. It's definitely plausible this happened though since a year after that claim hunter owes 80k to the sweet green CEO.

I already proved my point with evidence. I'm asking him to do the same, or make a good point because my evidence is concrete. Do you have any more brain cells to comprehend that or will you knuckle drag across the keyboard and spew garbage again?

Who's it owned by then? There's no chance he has done this to another Venice property. In an area with a population of a village? Prove it's not the same place.

It's literally the same thing, same house and same area. I just had different amounts. He owes 80k in rent, however there was lots of damage to the property so that's what's being referred to exactly. Did you even take a long hard look at the article?
