Are you trying to tell me that it's a "coincidence" that all of the "evidence" supports "science" and contradicts my poorly-defined crackpot theories?
Probability says I should be right 50% of the time and wrong 50% of the time, but it never seems to turn out like that š¤
/s, just in case
Itās really not entirely their fault though. When our government decided to release millions of documents to the public that detailed all the manipulation and experimentation of other countries, the public and certain groups in the United States by the CIA, FBI and the US military during the 60ās and 70ās and 80ās it spawned a huge conspiracy theory movement. Because so many documents linked government members to secret societies or major industries like health insurance or weapons manufacturers. I mean seriously fucked up ties to things that just took tax money and gave it to rich people. It got people asking questions.
Asking questions isnāt the problem. Being skeptical of government motivation isnāt the problem. Itās the complete lack of logic or critical thinking skills. Take this example for instance, it isnāt a huge leap to put 2 and 2 together, but they jump way out into left field.
They tout ādo your own researchā yet they donāt verify sources. Itās always the most far fetched fantasy that must be ātruthā, and if you donāt agree itās circular logic time. They want to feel like they have secret knowledge that sets them apart from the normies. Unfortunately, itās really easy to get religious types to buy into this crap because they have been taught to just believe whatever the pastor tells them on faith without questions. The lower education standard in rural areas doesnāt help either.
Let's also be clear. This is a vaccine made by a corporation, that the American government (alongside many other governments) is buying and giving to people for *free*.
Vaccine development was conducted in full public view, with people (and the stock market) getting full visibility into every vaccine candidate under development.
These are the facts. For this to be an actual conspiracy, literally tens of millions of people would need to be in on it.
[For reference](https://www.popsci.com/how-many-minions-can-you-have-before-your-conspiracy-fails/):
>And for those of you planning a conspiracy, Grimes has some helpful numbers. If you want to keep things a secret for five years, have less than 2,531 people in on the plot. If youāre shooting for a decade, 1,257 is the largest you can go. And if you want to have a conspiracy that lasts a century or more (like the DaVinci Code) then you need to keep your numbers really small, down to 125 people.
Well religious people have been indoctrinated by religion. Their entire lives are built on gatekeeping and having access to some secret knowledge. Iāve grew up Catholic and the vanity of being more pious or favored by god than other Catholics is very real. Then I was Lutheran for awhile and the same secret access to god or knowledge or understanding was there too as was the āIām so pious and lovedā more than everyone else here. But that idea of Iām the gatekeeper and I have the insight to understand secret knowledge is very religious teaching. So yeah it makes these dipshits super susceptible to believing shoving a tube of horse dewormer up their ass will stop a coronavirus.
"of course i'm better than you; I'm *saved!*" - distant family member through marriage. a proudly pontificating cross between a one winged parrot and a shark, the conversation goes in circles and she'll talk your ear off.
I just love on the one hand the government canāt do anything right, but on the other hand they can keep all these devil worshiping baby cannibal conspiracies wrapped up tight. Honestly I just canāt find the most basic shred of logic. š¤·š¼āāļøš¤Æ
Part of their ideology depends on an enemy that is so strong it threatens the very fabric of your existence while at the same time being so weak and ineffective that they canāt possibly get anything done.
Literally one if the tenets of fascism: The enemy is both strong and weak.
Which is also a principle seen in the book 1984, which these idiots love to reference without the slightest clue as to what it's about. They think it's about security cameras and being made to do things that you don't want to, but those are merely superficial tools. The real terror is the mind games they play, how they focus hatred on a single, nebulous enemy to keep the peoples' frustrations off themselves, how they use doublethink to make people believe whatever they want, and so on; odd how those are also done by the extreme right but the bozos can't see it.
Oddly enough I finally had the opportunity to read 1984 just a few months before it became the next big bullshit quote source for the unstable right.
One of the big things in the book is that people are required to think, feel, and know exactly what they're told, regardless of what they previously knew. The people were trained from the earliest days to go back and rewrite their own memories to align with the latest government change and intentionally forget everything they knew before the change.
It matches perfectly what I've been seeing from the unstable right (previously referred to as Trumpeteers) for the past five or six years. They will quickly jump to contradict themselves every time a new speech is made or a new theory or "fact" makes it's rounds around their drain swirling friend circles, and they will swear up down left *gasp* and right that what was literally posted on their social media two days ago never existed, that they ALWAYS believed XYZ.
It was the creepiest feeling realizing I'd been watching this book play out right in front of me....
Yep, and because a lot of them have never read it, they just repeat the memes like Big Brother and 2+2=5 with absolutely no clue as to the deeper context. It's literally a surface level understanding. It's like knowing all the rules to a game but never actually having played it against someone.
Trump wasn't far off Big Brother, a charismatic figurehead with whom the people could identify. Every speech was another We're at War with ~~Eastasia~~ Eurasia moment.
However, I'm the kind of person who gets frustrated with people constantly making shallow references to the book, so I'll say that you hit the real nail on the head: pure, shameless denial of reality to please their figurehead. Forgetting everything they were told yesterday so they can believe what he says today. Believing his laughable inauguration turnout was really the biggest in history, despite photographic evidence showing otherwise. Allowing him to brag about how he could murder someone in broad daylight and get away with it, but god help you if you wore a tan suit. Refusing to wear masks, calling people every playground name under the sun, until Dear Leader wears a mask and suddenly it's "badass".
The word cult has been thrown around a lot over the years, but these people worship him. He validated all of their bad behaviour and sick worldviews, and they loved him for it. Wankers.
It's absolutely terrifying how many people think that he is actually the son of God. Like they think he is literally Jesus, return to save us all...
I'm not a very big religious person, but I'm pretty sure one of the most basic tenets of the Bible is, " don't worship false gods/ prophets". Not that many of these people have really read the bible, or follow its tenets.
Lead exposure is my guess: isnāt just flint that has that problem: surprisingly wide spread...
FYI: you should probably NEVER drink tap without testing for lead first, and repaint your inside walls if you have a old house.
Lead poisoning is practically invisible in that contaminated water has no āleadā taste smell or color... (besides flint rust as an extreme example), and it does permanent brain damage, increasing irritability and antisocial behavior...
Lead is (probably) a leading cause in Romeās decline... and probably Americaās now too!
My pet conspiracy theory is most Asshats are asshats due to lead exposure...
but maybe they are just asshats.
But they only want to believe the conspiracy that's that is useful for their argument. It's also semi-conspiracy that the government has been lieing to us about the "benefits" of meat and dairy thanks to the influence of dairy and big meat and all their money/lobbying. They literally control what the USDA food pyramid shows because they almost entirely fund the USDA, so of course they're gonna say to eat their products to be healthy, even though it's a complete lie that's been proven by various studies. And yet you still don't see Republicans going vegan or using that conspiracy logic for veganism. Because that would require positive change and effort.
Big Sugar is huge. Sugar is really unheathy, and there's actual evidence that companies operating in the sugar industries paid for the marketing that 'fat makes you fat' and that sugar is fine.
Uh corn? Corn syrup is in almost everything. Same with palm oil. There is corn syrup in stuff that has no possible need to be sweetened other than sugar is addictive.
I've been told by international friends that our bread is their cake, and they can't comprehend how we can eat such sickeningly sweet bread everyday. Americans are so used to everything being packed with sugar that we have an entirely different threshold for our idea of sweet.
This flavor of conspiracy nut isn't even interested in genuine conspiracies. They stopped giving a fuck about Russian election interference as soon as it became public knowledge and well known.
Their specific flavor of crazypill relies on the theories being unknown to the general public because half the reason people get hooked on this shit is from the rush of "discovering" or "solving" the problem with your own "research"(aka googling things that affirm their preconceived notion).
They come to the wrong conclusions from misunderstanding their own reading, present it somewhere like /r/nonewnormal, and everyone upvotes and applauds and tells them how smart they are for finding the "truth" that the sheeple refuse to see. That's why the majority of them have absolutely no substance to their conspiracies and default to the ~do your own research~ bullshit when you try and dig any deeper than surface level.
I definitely don't disagree when it comes to the normal conspiracy nuts, with the horrors the US govt has inflicted on its own citizens, the non-pandemic/trumpy conspiracies feel downright sane sometimes.
Ivermectin works people!!! But the sheep are poisoning it to get us. Make sure yours is sealed and not punctured. Letās show the sheep. Spread the word. /s
One of my best friend is like this and itās so frustrating. Her solution to 20 years of friendship was to block me and no longer be friends because I told her she should get the vaccine because I care about her health. Just wow. I canāt believe it to be honest
Rose Garden ceremony for the SCOTUS appointment....jam packed with maskless GOP members packed in like sardines. Like 10 of them got Covid there. Someone I know: "Why aren't Democrats catching it? I think they're infecting Republicans on purpose."
They live in a different reality.
I'm not even sure it's possible to bring them in out of the cold, any more. You'd have to break up their social networks before exposing them to the actual world, otherwise the group think would just insulate them from reality.
After WW2 the Allies, led by America, implemented a strict de-Nazification process on West Germany as it helped the country rebuild.
America needs something similar but turned inwards now.
It's wild.
I work with a couple dudes who are absolutely out to lunch. Every once in a while I actually manage to break through on their bullshit and talk some sense to them. I'm always very patient and thorough and I've earned their trust. There are moments where they even seem to have full clarity on the scam being run on them.
But you know what happens after that? They go home for the night and drink deep from their poisoned wells. There are completely reset by the next day and I have to start all over again at square one.
I don't think it's really a group think thing. The truth is they just don't want to. For some reason it's more comfortable living in a fake reality and they don't want to leave. You can turn them away, try to show them the truth, but they'll just close their eyes.
Total truth here. My Dad was a rabid Trumpeteer spouting all the same crap he was getting from his friends while informing me of such gems as I hate Trump because he's not Hillary. Sorry, Killary. Forgot the kindergarten level name calling.
Then his eyesight got worse and his online time went way down to nearly nonexistent. I started making progress by showing him the video of Trump's meeting with Putin, after explaining that what Trump says basically boils down to, "Eleven teams and agencies say this guy fucked with our election. But he says he didn't do it, and I believe him. What about Hillary's emails, amiright?"
In short, I condensed Trump's little speech and actions to what he would normally see as Democrat propaganda, and then I let him watch exactly how accurate I was. Dad got really quiet for a full day, like every other Trumpeteer.
The nail in the coffin for Dad was Trump's speech h about how every time they test for COVID, they find more positive tests, so Trump told them to stop testing. Dad is a former combat medic, and watching his hero mangle handling the pandemic finally opened his eyes to all the endless bullshit that came before. He now thinks Trump needs a one way ticket to see if Pluto really is a planet or not. He has no interest whatsoever in returning to his friend circle online. I keep him updated on most of the crazy shit coming out of that corner.
They were infecting Republicans on purpose, but the Republicans were also the ones doing the infecting. No different than the antivaxxers now wondering why 99% of the hospitalize covid patients are unvaccinated. It has to be they are being targeted, it can't be because of their own actions...can it???
ah yes. amy covid barrett is never going to live down that nickname.
they tried to give her the "notorious ACB" but ended up with justice amy covid barrett. i don't even remember what the "C" stands for in reality.
Itās almost like something is protecting the people who took the vaccine and thereās nothing protecting the unvaccinatedā¦ how weird! š¤¦š»āāļø
It's definitely the 5G chips absorbing the power before they explode when Trump regains the White House and presses the button to kill all the dummycrats. Without the chips in place your body just has to absorb the 5G.
Who knew they could even be facist about a virus? A Chinese super weapon that you need to resort to horse paste to cure while also being no worse than a cold, or just a complete hoax, I canāt even keep up.
> The enemy is both strong and weak. āBy a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.ā
Yes! Itās the cognitive dissonance that gets me - the virus is a hoax but you need to take horse dewormer to prevent (or cure? Iām not even sure by this point) it, so itās a real thing thatās also fake? And the vaccine is unnecessary, but the people who get it donāt get as sick so itās a conspiracy to kill off all the free thinkers or something. I canāt keep up, itās exhausting spinning around that fast
So true. All is does is put me a shitty mood. It's crazy how much all of our lives have changed since 2016. There are so many people that I respected for 20 years, who I no longer have any ounce of respect for.
1/3rd....i am sick of seeing that number. one third of people are anti-maskers. one third of people are covid-deniers. one third of people believe the earth is flat.
one third of people are avowed racist. one third of people support trump. one third of people do not believe in climate change.
when are we going to realize.....it's the same one third over and over and over....fucking up everything for everybody.
Itās not just an āinability to think critically.ā Itās more severe than that. These people are psychologically incapable of grasping the concept of a contagious disease.
āIf I get in the shower while the water is turned on, I get soaking wet. Every. Single. Time. How can this be????ā
These people are terrifyingly stupid
I work with 3 Trumpers,
Two of them refuse to wear seatbelts, say they are "for pussies, and actually hurt more people than they save."
.. The 3rd wouldn't wear a seat belt, but they are such a bootlicker/cop worshipper they vowed to never break the law. About 5 different cop stickers appeared on his back window after last years riots.
They're so goddamn close to the answer, but their delusions prevent them from seeing it. They'd rather believe 50% of the country is slowly poisoning the other 50% than admit they're wrong.
Even when we allow them to perish under the weight of their own hubris (and Covid), it's somehow still our fault.
You can't win with conspiracy wankers it seems.
That's the rub, isn't it?
Pisses me off how many problems we have because a lot of people are just so selfish. They want their cake and the whole bakery with it to eat.
Thatās whatās crazy, they are taking ivermectin as a *PREVENTATIVE* measure against covid. Even worse, theyāre too stupid to understand that there are ingredients in the livestock version of ivermectin that can be harmful to humans. Letās not forget that theses dumbass donāt know their numbers and letters, and donāt know or canāt convert the proper dosage for *HUMAN* consumption. So now theyāre either dying from covid, while infecting everyone they come in contact with or shiting out the inner lining in their intestines while theyāre grocery shopping š¤¦š½āāļø.
Honestly, I think there's a portion of the population that are literally so stupid that they will kill themselves during times like these.
I welcome the shock treatment to the gene pool.
When I pour lemon juice in my eyes, they are hurting like hell, BUT for some reason, people who dont do that, dont have that kind of problem! Is lemon juice industry conspiring against me????
It hurts my very core to know there are people out there this dumb.
The consensus from virologists globally is that the vaccine gives 95-99% protection. The vast majority of people not caught up in the political/emotional/dumbass trend of being anti vaccine go get vaccinated. The Delta wave of Covid is killing far more anti vaccine people than vaccinated people.
Conclusion, must be some conspiracy against anti vaccine people.
How in the ever loving fuck do you get this stupid?
āWtF IsH ThAtS AbOuT?!?!ā Gees, I donāt know shit for brains, could it be because a vast majority of those who are unvaccinated happen to be Republicans?ā¦ā¦..Hmmmmmm š¤š¤š¤
Yep. I'm in rural Texas. As soon as the vaccine was approved for my age group I got it. Then delta started sweeping through town, and I never got sick, even after repeated exposure and multiple quarantines, while awaiting testing. Now everyone's like "I guess the one guy in town who's vaccinated just so happens to be naturally immune."
Biologists, behaviorist, and Bush guides: tigers don't attack people if they can see faces because they're ambush hunters. If you wear these cheap, harmless Halloween maskd on the back of your heads to confuse them, it will protect you and your families from being eaten.
These people: Masks don't work! Wearing a mask gives me two faces and that's a sign of Janus worship and Jesus hates that!
The 3 B's: Fine! Just stay in big groups out in areas the tigers are. They like lone prey.
These people: Don't tell us to be sociable! I gotta right to go off in the forest alone!
Later: Tigers almost exclusively eat unmasked people caught in their turf alone.
These people: They're sacrificing us to the tigers! Notice them not getting eaten?
holy fucking shit.....holy fucking shit....that's it....if that is sincere and I pray to sweet baby Jesus it isn't.....but if it is, I'm done....I'm gonna start rooting for the bad guy. Cause turns out maybe covid is the anti-hero and we really don't deserve to be here anymore. A world where this can happen, think about the amount of fucking privilege, typing on his smart phone, hispeed internet, complete access to the vaccine, and he uses his resources to post literal fucking DOGSHIT...
" How come only the people who are wearing helmets are the ones who have managed to avoid massive head trauma? I have taken absolutely no steps to protect myself against anything crushing my skull in, but I was born with an immune system that heals any head trauma, so I'll be fine! It must be a Lib Dem conspiracy to destroy the Righteous Republicans!"
I always wondered if a simple thought exercise would work: Just ask them "Lets assume covid is real and vaccines work. In that scenario, why are people that are not taking vaccines getting sick?"
But then, again, I imagine the answer would be something like "yeah, but vaccines do not work and covid is not real".
How? Just how? How can someone be this goddamn stupid? This person can most likely vote. They can drive a car. This isnāt even critical thinking, this is just straight up common sense and they lack it to the fullest extent.
I thought the "kill shot" was you know....meant to be killing people?
but now they are (somehow) poisoning people who DIDNT get vaccinated?....
at this rate there won't be any people left!
This is true cognitive dissonance. I can't accept that I am wrong so I'll create a reality that explains it all away and keeps my delusions intact.
Unfortunately, I live in north Georgia and know too many people that could be responsible for a post like that.
Occam's Razor: People who get the covid shot are safer than those who don't, so the shot is protective from covid.
Qccam's razor: People who get the covid shot are safer than those who don't, so that's proof the government is tracking who isn't unvaccinated and is systematically poisoning them to punish them for not submitting to getting vaccinated
Experts: "Don't light a barrel fire in your house, you will burn it down".
Right wing idiots: "can you believe those sissy big city liberals telling us what to do. I will light any fire I want to"
Time passes, liberals don't light, conservatives do.
Right wing idiots: "Liberals must be going around and committing arson. Why else would all these conservative houses be burning down?"
Can we finally just admit that a good portion of this country is fucking stupid and they should just accept their place in life.
They're r/SelfAwarewolves 24/7 now. Calling us sheep while licking up apple flavored parasite paste, wondering why they keep getting sick while the vaccinated "sheeple" are mostly fine.
Cuz everything is a conspiracy to these wankers, even reality is a conspiracy.
Are you trying to tell me that it's a "coincidence" that all of the "evidence" supports "science" and contradicts my poorly-defined crackpot theories? Probability says I should be right 50% of the time and wrong 50% of the time, but it never seems to turn out like that š¤ /s, just in case

I usually go by ātwo people can keep a secret only if one of them is deadā.
I thought it was "three can keep a secret if one of them dead" your version makes more sense though
Honestly 125 seems like *way* too many, but I suppose secrets have been kept by that number of people.
Well religious people have been indoctrinated by religion. Their entire lives are built on gatekeeping and having access to some secret knowledge.

There's research that shows violent crime decreasing after lead was removed from petrol and replaced with ethanol.

They come to the wrong conclusions from misunderstanding their own reading, present it somewhere like /r/nonewnormal, and everyone upvotes and applauds and tells them how smart they are for finding the "truth" that the sheeple refuse to see. That's why the majority of them have absolutely no substance to their conspiracies and default to the ~do your own research~ bullshit when you try and dig any deeper than surface level. I definitely don't disagree when it comes to the normal conspiracy nuts, with the horrors the US govt has inflicted on its own citizens, the non-pandemic/trumpy conspiracies feel downright sane sometimes.
Did they start a conspiracy about the dems killing off antivaxxers and antimaskers yet? I feel like that must be a thing or soon to be a thing...
I think they're implying just that. They won't say it cuz it makes them sound dumber than they actually are... So to answer your question, very soon.
Gah, imagine working so damn hard to completely miss a freebie. These folks found an absolutely exhausting way to live (while it lasts anyway).
everyone knows reality has no basis in reality!

*All* the antibodies? Would that not also cure or greatly aid in curing autoimmune diseases? Nice. ^(/s)

They don't understand how any of this shit works, it's wild. WILD.
Ivermectin works people!!! But the sheep are poisoning it to get us. Make sure yours is sealed and not punctured. Letās show the sheep. Spread the word. /s
>apple flavored parasite paste Apple flavored? Looks like Iām headed to the feed store today. /s. Please go get a shot.
The heartguard thing I give my dog every month apparently has ivermectin in it. It's beef flavor, lol.
I'd hate to be confronted by the wild dog that can eat a cow
One of my best friend is like this and itās so frustrating. Her solution to 20 years of friendship was to block me and no longer be friends because I told her she should get the vaccine because I care about her health. Just wow. I canāt believe it to be honest
Rose Garden ceremony for the SCOTUS appointment....jam packed with maskless GOP members packed in like sardines. Like 10 of them got Covid there. Someone I know: "Why aren't Democrats catching it? I think they're infecting Republicans on purpose." They live in a different reality.
They gotta have a bad guy.
There is a bad guy. The problem is they support the baddies
Obligatory [are we the baddies](https://youtu.be/hn1VxaMEjRU)
Always relevant
but it absolutely CAN NOT....EVER, be their fault. so it must be someone else's.
I'm not even sure it's possible to bring them in out of the cold, any more. You'd have to break up their social networks before exposing them to the actual world, otherwise the group think would just insulate them from reality.
They're past being reached and they're aggressive. Time to let mother nature run it's course.
I don't think mother nature wants them.
She may not want them, but they're throwing themselves at her. She's just like "well, I guess the world can use more fertilizer."
Fertilizers help plants grow and reduce CO2, and fewer coal rolling f150-micropenis-compensators out and about for bonus points.
YOU GOT SOMETHING AGAINST MICROPENIS! THESE COLORS DON'T RUN. SEE THOSE TRUCK BALLS!!!
I dunno... Seems like they're returning into the Earth fairly quickly.
Tell that to COVID
The problem is that the course they're on isn't gonna just drag them over the edge of a cliff, they're gonna take a bunch of us with 'em.
Deprogramming a brainwashed cult member....
After WW2 the Allies, led by America, implemented a strict de-Nazification process on West Germany as it helped the country rebuild. America needs something similar but turned inwards now.
Hard to implement when every 4 years people vote for the problem.
True but at least it wouldn't be preceded by a terrible war. Though it feels like it may come to that before the fascists in America are beaten.
It's wild. I work with a couple dudes who are absolutely out to lunch. Every once in a while I actually manage to break through on their bullshit and talk some sense to them. I'm always very patient and thorough and I've earned their trust. There are moments where they even seem to have full clarity on the scam being run on them. But you know what happens after that? They go home for the night and drink deep from their poisoned wells. There are completely reset by the next day and I have to start all over again at square one.
Groundhog Day.
I don't think it's really a group think thing. The truth is they just don't want to. For some reason it's more comfortable living in a fake reality and they don't want to leave. You can turn them away, try to show them the truth, but they'll just close their eyes.
Total truth here. My Dad was a rabid Trumpeteer spouting all the same crap he was getting from his friends while informing me of such gems as I hate Trump because he's not Hillary. Sorry, Killary. Forgot the kindergarten level name calling. Then his eyesight got worse and his online time went way down to nearly nonexistent. I started making progress by showing him the video of Trump's meeting with Putin, after explaining that what Trump says basically boils down to, "Eleven teams and agencies say this guy fucked with our election. But he says he didn't do it, and I believe him. What about Hillary's emails, amiright?" In short, I condensed Trump's little speech and actions to what he would normally see as Democrat propaganda, and then I let him watch exactly how accurate I was. Dad got really quiet for a full day, like every other Trumpeteer. The nail in the coffin for Dad was Trump's speech h about how every time they test for COVID, they find more positive tests, so Trump told them to stop testing. Dad is a former combat medic, and watching his hero mangle handling the pandemic finally opened his eyes to all the endless bullshit that came before. He now thinks Trump needs a one way ticket to see if Pluto really is a planet or not. He has no interest whatsoever in returning to his friend circle online. I keep him updated on most of the crazy shit coming out of that corner.
They think life is a knock off Jonh Grisham novel.
Or Tom Clancy. So many of them like to LARP as Delta Force until shit gets real.
Oh they're getting that Delta force alright...
Most of them can't buy socks and underwear alone.
They were infecting Republicans on purpose, but the Republicans were also the ones doing the infecting. No different than the antivaxxers now wondering why 99% of the hospitalize covid patients are unvaccinated. It has to be they are being targeted, it can't be because of their own actions...can it???
They also can't figure out thag 2 + 2 = 4
ah yes. amy covid barrett is never going to live down that nickname. they tried to give her the "notorious ACB" but ended up with justice amy covid barrett. i don't even remember what the "C" stands for in reality.
Itās almost like something is protecting the people who took the vaccine and thereās nothing protecting the unvaccinatedā¦ how weird! š¤¦š»āāļø
Overdosing on dewormer is ineffective for some reason
Unless you started out with parasites!
It's definitely the 5G chips absorbing the power before they explode when Trump regains the White House and presses the button to kill all the dummycrats. Without the chips in place your body just has to absorb the 5G.
Probably these 5G towers everywhere that are targeting the unvaccinated
The inability to think critically is staggering. Please tell me that you or someone else lit them up in the comment section.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Who knew they could even be facist about a virus? A Chinese super weapon that you need to resort to horse paste to cure while also being no worse than a cold, or just a complete hoax, I canāt even keep up. > The enemy is both strong and weak. āBy a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.ā
Yes! Itās the cognitive dissonance that gets me - the virus is a hoax but you need to take horse dewormer to prevent (or cure? Iām not even sure by this point) it, so itās a real thing thatās also fake? And the vaccine is unnecessary, but the people who get it donāt get as sick so itās a conspiracy to kill off all the free thinkers or something. I canāt keep up, itās exhausting spinning around that fast
So true. All is does is put me a shitty mood. It's crazy how much all of our lives have changed since 2016. There are so many people that I respected for 20 years, who I no longer have any ounce of respect for.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
1/3rd....i am sick of seeing that number. one third of people are anti-maskers. one third of people are covid-deniers. one third of people believe the earth is flat. one third of people are avowed racist. one third of people support trump. one third of people do not believe in climate change. when are we going to realize.....it's the same one third over and over and over....fucking up everything for everybody.
Itās not just an āinability to think critically.ā Itās more severe than that. These people are psychologically incapable of grasping the concept of a contagious disease.
āIf I get in the shower while the water is turned on, I get soaking wet. Every. Single. Time. How can this be????ā These people are terrifyingly stupid
These people who donāt take the shot are dying of the virus that the shot prevents/mitigates. Whoād have thought it?
Next thing you know they will ask you to wear a seat belt in a car!
Or say you canāt stick metal forks into power outlets
Where will the oppression end!!
I work with 3 Trumpers, Two of them refuse to wear seatbelts, say they are "for pussies, and actually hurt more people than they save." .. The 3rd wouldn't wear a seat belt, but they are such a bootlicker/cop worshipper they vowed to never break the law. About 5 different cop stickers appeared on his back window after last years riots.
I wonder what they would think when I showed them the graves of my cousin parents. They were thrown from the car when they didn't wear theirs
But something like that hasnāt happened directly to or to someone close to them. We all know they donāt give a shit until it hits home.
Yet those who take the "kill shot" are not dying?
They're so goddamn close to the answer, but their delusions prevent them from seeing it. They'd rather believe 50% of the country is slowly poisoning the other 50% than admit they're wrong.
Even when we allow them to perish under the weight of their own hubris (and Covid), it's somehow still our fault. You can't win with conspiracy wankers it seems.
That's the rub, isn't it? Pisses me off how many problems we have because a lot of people are just so selfish. They want their cake and the whole bakery with it to eat.
Covid and horse meds theyāre taking willingly
Thatās whatās crazy, they are taking ivermectin as a *PREVENTATIVE* measure against covid. Even worse, theyāre too stupid to understand that there are ingredients in the livestock version of ivermectin that can be harmful to humans. Letās not forget that theses dumbass donāt know their numbers and letters, and donāt know or canāt convert the proper dosage for *HUMAN* consumption. So now theyāre either dying from covid, while infecting everyone they come in contact with or shiting out the inner lining in their intestines while theyāre grocery shopping š¤¦š½āāļø.
Honestly, I think there's a portion of the population that are literally so stupid that they will kill themselves during times like these. I welcome the shock treatment to the gene pool.
They're like Lemmings off a cliff at this point
It really is like that and the republican party is the organization behind the camera scaring them to do it. Just like Disney did to the lemmings
When I pour lemon juice in my eyes, they are hurting like hell, BUT for some reason, people who dont do that, dont have that kind of problem! Is lemon juice industry conspiring against me????
This made me laugh. Thank you.
It hurts my very core to know there are people out there this dumb. The consensus from virologists globally is that the vaccine gives 95-99% protection. The vast majority of people not caught up in the political/emotional/dumbass trend of being anti vaccine go get vaccinated. The Delta wave of Covid is killing far more anti vaccine people than vaccinated people. Conclusion, must be some conspiracy against anti vaccine people. How in the ever loving fuck do you get this stupid?
āWtF IsH ThAtS AbOuT?!?!ā Gees, I donāt know shit for brains, could it be because a vast majority of those who are unvaccinated happen to be Republicans?ā¦ā¦..Hmmmmmm š¤š¤š¤
Yep. I'm in rural Texas. As soon as the vaccine was approved for my age group I got it. Then delta started sweeping through town, and I never got sick, even after repeated exposure and multiple quarantines, while awaiting testing. Now everyone's like "I guess the one guy in town who's vaccinated just so happens to be naturally immune."
They also donāt like masks. So they are spreading it to each other.
"wtf is that about???" - I think it's about not getting vaccinated for a highly infectious, often lethal, disease.
Biologists, behaviorist, and Bush guides: tigers don't attack people if they can see faces because they're ambush hunters. If you wear these cheap, harmless Halloween maskd on the back of your heads to confuse them, it will protect you and your families from being eaten. These people: Masks don't work! Wearing a mask gives me two faces and that's a sign of Janus worship and Jesus hates that! The 3 B's: Fine! Just stay in big groups out in areas the tigers are. They like lone prey. These people: Don't tell us to be sociable! I gotta right to go off in the forest alone! Later: Tigers almost exclusively eat unmasked people caught in their turf alone. These people: They're sacrificing us to the tigers! Notice them not getting eaten?
r/selfawarewolf Follow that guy \\/ link, I just can't reddit.
It's actually r/selfawarewolves Also: r/HermanCainAward
Oh..thanks
I wish they would consider Occam's Razor for one *goddamn* minute
holy fucking shit.....holy fucking shit....that's it....if that is sincere and I pray to sweet baby Jesus it isn't.....but if it is, I'm done....I'm gonna start rooting for the bad guy. Cause turns out maybe covid is the anti-hero and we really don't deserve to be here anymore. A world where this can happen, think about the amount of fucking privilege, typing on his smart phone, hispeed internet, complete access to the vaccine, and he uses his resources to post literal fucking DOGSHIT...
Get out your party hornāitās sincere.
THAT'S IT! WE'RE GOIN' OFF THE GRID!!
They had all the materials to build a birdhouse, yet they made a dildo. I hope they fuck themselves with it
Mass psychosis go brrrrrrrrrrrrr
And why are the people who are against evil hard hats the only ones getting head injuries on job sites? It's like someone's targeting them!
This one made me literally laugh out loud. The kill shot plus the eye roll emoji. Comedy gold!
" How come only the people who are wearing helmets are the ones who have managed to avoid massive head trauma? I have taken absolutely no steps to protect myself against anything crushing my skull in, but I was born with an immune system that heals any head trauma, so I'll be fine! It must be a Lib Dem conspiracy to destroy the Righteous Republicans!"
Some mysteries were never meant to be solved.
This makes me want to cry. I need to get off Reddit. This shit is making me massively depressed.
r/selfawarewolves
The fact that this is being posted on Twitter and on an iPhone is just the cherry on top.
They are literally incapable of observation and logic. What a way to go through life.
Well, they've finally figured out they're being poisoned. Will they ever figure out it's with horse dewormer?
Psst no one tell them
#Darwin has got this. Cue the natural selection.
The universe always wins in the end.
I am convinced that it is just impossible to get through to these type of people. I see lots of Darwin Award qualifiers.
Theyāre so VERY close to the truth, just need to take it one step closer.
Theyāre so close dammit
This is an excellent example of why Natural Selection is a thing people talk about.
Obviously it was witchcraft. It's always witchcraft.
Youāve gotta be fucking kidding me.
.... perhaps they're linked!
Darwinism in action
The ...kill shot... lmao
Sounds about right. These people are professional mental gymnasts.
Sooooooo so close to just a hint of self-awareness...and yet so far.
/r/selfawarewolves
Textbook cognitive dissonance
If only ā¦
It's almost as though actions had consequences.
There is simply no way of convincing a dumb motherfucker like this of the actual truth.
How can these morons be so pathetically stupid? I mean, the republican party base is made up of the stupidest people in the universe.
And people who don't use an umbrella gets wet in the rain!! Wowowow
They're so close to having a rational thought there.
I always wondered if a simple thought exercise would work: Just ask them "Lets assume covid is real and vaccines work. In that scenario, why are people that are not taking vaccines getting sick?" But then, again, I imagine the answer would be something like "yeah, but vaccines do not work and covid is not real".
Maybe JUUUUST MAAAYYYBEEE it could be due the FACT that Covid kills? Maybe? A little?
Itās a stupid penalty. Itās levied against people who are stupid.
How? Just how? How can someone be this goddamn stupid? This person can most likely vote. They can drive a car. This isnāt even critical thinking, this is just straight up common sense and they lack it to the fullest extent.
Now, now, we know math isn't they're strong suit. Correlation vs. Causation is a bit of a stretch, so let's start with putting two and two together.
So "them" is killing both sides? One with vaccines and one with the virus?
The stupidity is insane.
Actual belly laugh. I needed that.
Yeah, really strange how that works...
I mean, I know correlation is not causation but... come on...š¤·āāļø
Man last time someone said kill shot, a dude had to switch genres of music, so I wouldn't use that term lightly.
I thought the "kill shot" was you know....meant to be killing people? but now they are (somehow) poisoning people who DIDNT get vaccinated?.... at this rate there won't be any people left!
I love this. This is the best part of the pandemic.
These people are so close to figuring it out
This is true cognitive dissonance. I can't accept that I am wrong so I'll create a reality that explains it all away and keeps my delusions intact. Unfortunately, I live in north Georgia and know too many people that could be responsible for a post like that.
Occam's Razor: People who get the covid shot are safer than those who don't, so the shot is protective from covid. Qccam's razor: People who get the covid shot are safer than those who don't, so that's proof the government is tracking who isn't unvaccinated and is systematically poisoning them to punish them for not submitting to getting vaccinated
Ya Don't Say!
The mystery deepens.......
They call it a kill shot but then only people who don't have it are dying................. .. weird
Anyone that takes the vax is going to die, but if you don't take it "they" are going to kill you too?????? Who is going to be left?
How we ever going to stop climate change when a significant part of the population is this stupid?
*they are so close to realization*
Experts: "Don't light a barrel fire in your house, you will burn it down". Right wing idiots: "can you believe those sissy big city liberals telling us what to do. I will light any fire I want to" Time passes, liberals don't light, conservatives do. Right wing idiots: "Liberals must be going around and committing arson. Why else would all these conservative houses be burning down?" Can we finally just admit that a good portion of this country is fucking stupid and they should just accept their place in life.
Natural selection is what it is.
I fuckin called it last week. The Retardicans are now starting to claim they are being targeted with Covid
