Imagine protesting this hard over masks or vaccines. What a bunch of pussies.
hehe apt analysis, there’s really nothing else to be said. the media attention they’re getting feels exactly how the media was acting while trump was president. they would put him and his blunders on tv because it created more outrage and got them a shit ton more views than they were getting prior.
apparently this is the way of the world now. ratings = news
I’d feel sad for someone’s Granny that gave $10 to her grandson without really understanding or believing in the cause.
With regards to the majority of donors though, it would be very interesting to learn of how many are actually in USA or in public jobs that that have no business stoking this particular dumpster fire.
Maybe Granny believed in the cause. i sure do. I almost cried when I saw the 10 or so John Deere tractors with the farmers on top blocking the intersection. it was a beautiful sight.
i wonder how they feel about right to repair laws. just more government overreach?
also what, the cause of blocking traffic because you don’t want to wear a mask?
No one says all-or-nothing for any human or group. No one or thing can be either all bad or all good. That is lazy thinking. Governments have been wrong in the past. In their case, it is because of a vaccine against their will. But, yeah, I don’t want to wear a mask. Now, if some rude SoB if coughing and sneezing near me, I’d put one on if I carried one (I don’t) and ask him/her to. But, it hasn’t happened yet.
Some of you remind me of the Buddhist saying about the finger pointing to the moon is not what you are supposed to focus on - you are supposed to focus on the moon. You don’t get the point. To me, this vaccine or mask mandate isn’t about a virus, but about control. Throughout human history, one group or another sought to control the population. I left home at age 16 because I didn’t want my family to control me or the school or church. There are psychological tests that rate what you most value. Time and again for me it is freedom. i never married or had kids because I value freedom more. I equate freedom with dignity. You have a right to your own values, but have no right to choose mine for me or impose your values onto others. I am a vegan, atheist, healthnut and a minimalist - should I impose my values on you? Is that considerate?If anything these people have proven they cannot make their own decisions. They are literally advocating against public health measures that have been shown effective.
Anyone who wont wear a mask is just an asshole, plain and simple. Deal with it and get over your hurt feelings. Also, i’m sure you’re one of the many people here concerned about government surveillance and whatever, so why not wear a mask just to keep your ugly mug off of cameras? That alone should be a good enough reason for you.
This has nothing to do with values, it’s a public health issue and people like you cant see beyond your own smug sense of self government to save yourself.
You cherry pick your doctors and scientists and I have a slew i can quote from. This is a waste of our time, and that is exactly why each person should have the responsiblitiy and the right to live how they want and to live with the results of their choices. Promiscuous sex spreads diseases - even to women who’ve only been with one man all of their life. Should we outlaw sex outside of marriage? We could go on and on about how we each affect each other.
Don’t I have the right to live without you getting me infected even if you could have taken measures against it? Your freedom argument is a dead end. This goes beyond personal freedom and you need to accept that.
it is a dead end, because only symptoms can infect others. If my immune system handles it, there are no symptoms. this is not the black plague or rabies. 99% live and over 80% never get sick/symptoms. I won’t accept lies and poor logic. if your mask works so well, you have no need for me to wear one - especially since I stand farther away and have no symptoms. If you think I am a leper, stay home. A drunk behind the wheel of a car is more dangerous, yet bars have parking lots full of cars and you have to drive to the store to buy booze, maybe it should only be delivered? you are a coward about the wrong thing, mister. You are scared because soeone else TOLD you to be scared. That is pathetic.
Veganism is not a lifestyle nor a personal choice. It is an ethical principle which consists in the respect of the rights of individuals of other species.
Killing someone is not that kind of decision you think it is. In the end, you put your rights over other ones. It is something you even explain here you don’t want.
Thank you. There is still some sanity left on the internet. This movement was critically important. So cool that you actually saw it!!
What do you consider critically important about it?
I consider citizens reminding the government or any institution who wants power over others that it is us that allows them to have that power. I am also a huge fan of consumer advocacy because companies also tend to exert power over others - from polluting the waterways or soil to allowing harmful products to be sold to putting employees at risk. I hate bullies and like to see them put in their place. I am in better shape than most people my age, so I do care about health, but I mind my own business and take care of my own immune system and don’t preach to others about their diet or smoking or using tosix cleaners. If you want to destroy your health, your immune system, go right ahead. But, don’t dare tell me it is my fault becasue YOUR immune system didn’t properly handle a virus
But, don’t dare tell me it is my fault becasue YOUR immune system didn’t properly handle a virus
wat. I dont think you quite understand how viruses work.
I know more about health and even viruses than most people. Your immune system handles the virus if YOU handled your immune system by making better choices. A study in CA showed that over 80% of people of 2 counties had the antibodies for the virus and yet never got sick - no symptoms. Their immune system did its job - what it evolved for millions of years to do. The other 20% didn’t get the virus yet. Covid-19 is not rabies, but works like the flu. You might feel weak for an hour, a year, or not at all - depending on how your immune system handles it. People have that crappy saying, “well, ya gotta die of somethin’”. Well, jackass, something might be here and if you have a major illness already, something might take you out a bit quicker. oh well. your choice.
That’s quite the long winded way of saying “i don’t care about anyone but myself”.
Your immune system handles the virus if YOU handled your immune system by making better choices.
What the actual fuck. There’s several other reasons for having a weak immune system.
Covid-19 is not rabies, but works like the flu.
This is incorrect. The flu is not a coronavirus but a virus of the category orthomyxoviridae.
hey! I briefly looked for the American version that may go to DC. I need to keep reading, but maybe its easier for you to tell me. Is there still a convoy planned and, if so, when? I gathered that it had to do with written verification regarding how a certain new law would be implemented…had to be in writing. And, i am in Dallas, TX, so how can I find which highway or truckstop they’ll all gather at? It would be fun to see them off since I can’t travel to DC. Maybe that needs to be private, though, so that they cannot be stopped? I don’t have great editing skills or tech skills, but I can edit video a bit. It might be fun to stay in contact with a few truckers from Dallas and maybe I could edit their videos that they send me and upload them to YT, removedute, and Odysee. Just a random idea. I feel the need to participate, but in an armchair-warrior kinda way. I suppose I could also upload to a few social media sites such as MeWe, Minds, Lemmy…
The back of the mask they told us to wear for two years said they don’t work on Corona viruses. They said the vaccine would stop the spread it didn’t. Even with most people getting it the numbers went up. People who are triple vaccinated still get covid and people who never got vaccinated sometimes still haven’t gotten covid. The government is using this as an excuse to take away your freedoms. We must resist. Don’t believe the lies.
Lol
