the true meaning of MAGA and anti-vaxxers....

there is plenty of evidence/facts/science that shows us that
anti-vaxxers are simply wrong…they hold to their anti-vaxxination beliefs
even though the science is quite clear about it… in other words, they aren’t
about listening, but about the clear and present danger they present to
other people, indeed to society itself…

their beliefs are factually, scientifically wrong…and how am I supposed to
talk sense into those for whom facts, evidence, science means nothing?

and these luddites who won’t even listen to science, have made it clear
that they won’t even go halfway into the middle… it is their way or the highway…

and the worse part is their very understanding of government…
they hold that it is ok for the government to dictate to women
they cannot have abortions, and to limit/end gay marriage…
but to require a mask to save lives is a bridge too far…

it is their sheer hypocrisy, that is what is truly frustrating
I can tell you what to do, but you can’t tell me what to do…
is hypocrisy…the rules apply to thee but not to me…that is
what drives their beliefs…and I find their battle to be the
wrong battle at the wrong time… it isn’t government that
threatens our freedoms and rights, it is big business which has
bought the government that is the danger…facebook is a far
greater danger to our rights and liberty, then government ever
was…they are fighting the wrong war…
and like all zealots, they are utterly convinced of their righteousness
and will die for their cause…how does one convinced someone
who is absolutely, convinced of their righteousness?

I don’t know of a way… do you?

By learning how to do it. If they aren’t responding to what someone else (e.g. Dr. Fauci) is saying the same way that you do, you should ask yourself “Why?” Perhaps they see something that you don’t see. Perhaps you see something that they don’t. You actually have to make an effort especially considering the fact that you think their beliefs are dangerous. How is what you’re currently doing better than that? How is restating your beliefs ad nausem better than that? How is demonizing these people on the Internet better than that? You have to actually learn how to interact with people instead of expecting the government to do it for you or for everyone else to bow down to your wishes.

And if they are wrong, as you claim, you have to figure out why and what has to be done in order to change their minds (instead of complaining about them over and over again.)

I’m sure that once you have wholeheartedly joined a religion and fully accepted the principle of lying for the cause - it is very difficult to get people to listen to you - and even harder to get yourself to listen to anyone else.

  • Stop lying to everyone
  • Stop lying to yourself
  • Consider that YOU are exactly guilty of everything you just wrote -
  • YOU are the zealot and fanatic that you describe (whether they are or not)
  • YOU are “factually, scientifically wrong” and “utterly convinced of YOUR righteousness” and
  • YOU keep yourself blind to your own guilt (cowards are like that).

Of course YOU are not going to change your blind faith religion - so “they” merely ignore you - as I think they should. It can’t be easy to change the heart of a coward to self-reflect as he endlessly clamors in desperate hope to get everyone to focus elsewhere - “It’s THEM - NOT ME - it’s THEM!!”.

Aren’t you utterly convinced of your righteousness?

Could that be any more obvious?

I have, multiple times changed my political position as I
have multiple times, changed my philosophical position…
so which religion do you refer to? Anarchist? I have changed…
moderate democrat? I have changed… communist? I have on
multiple times denounced it… I have even started threads opposing
communism…this change from holding to communism to not, is a fairly
recent one…so given my recent changes in political philosophy,
your very statement is wrong… as you are usually wrong…

so, please tell us, what changes in political or philosophical
positions, have you changed?

as there have been no changes in your political or philosophical
position, your post is far more about you then it is about me…

I have adapted and changed within the environment I now exist in,
but you cannot say the same…recall our friends the dinosaurs…
they couldn’t adapt and change to their changing environment
and they died out…if you can’t change to the environment,
you die… I have changed… have you?

Vamping liars will say anything - convincing no one.

Or, their change is more about revisionist dogma then grass roots choice…

I was fully vaccinated before Covid. I was anti-trump his first term, but the far left mania pushed me to vote for him the second time. I kinda wonder what the world would look like today if he had won.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for all. This word liberty is very important because mandated vaccines remove it without due consideration for the harm principle (google John Stuart Mill, Warriors!). There is a potential for the vaccine to do harm that is not mitigated by its potential to do good, and thus we must be given a choice. There are also other effective precautions and treatments to mitigate harm while preserving liberty. And we know not all the adverse effects (injuries, deaths) are reported as such. An unjust mandate is no mandate at all. I require exemption. And if you are not requiring testing from all who can become asymptomatic infected, I require exemption from testing, as it is discrimination.

K: you are just another one who has no interest in the common good… liberty for
you is a sham because it means liberty only for you… no one else…
exemption from testing isn’t discrimination because it isn’t based on
such ideas as race, religion, sex or sexual orientation, or any other value…
the idea of testing and getting vaccinations is that everyone… EVERYONE
gets it and there is no biases… the basis of exemption from testing or vaccinations
isn’t some vague request to have liberty… because it is ignoring my liberty to
not get covid from some idiot like yourself who can only think of yourself…
what about my freedom or liberty, not to get covid?
Are your liberties or freedoms greater than my liberty or freedom?

Kropotkin

Self/Other’s liberty begins/ends where Other/Self’s liberty ends/begins.

If all who can get asymptomatic infected are being tested, then testing is not discrimination. It becomes discrimination when only a subset, those who refuse the vaccine, are tested. The fact that all who refuse the vaccine get lumped in with Trumpers/conservatives and antivaxxers is a dead giveaway it’s about discrimination. See how my last post began.

As for safety, if you think the vaccine is so ineffective that your getting the shot is not going to protect you, how am I harming you by agreeing with you and turning down the shot?

K: and where have you gotten the impression I am against the vaccine?
I am not… and in fact, I would suggest a very strong argument exists
to make everyone in America get a vaccine… does your freedom,
which is a human construct, be somehow greater than my right to exist?

existence is a primary right of all, ALL beings, whereas freedom, only human
beings can hold to freedom and many in the TRUMP world want to take away
that freedom by this slow-moving coup attempt to take away our basic
democratic right to vote… the Jan 6. coup attempt was an attempt
to take away freedoms from all Americans… whereas your failure to take the shot,
takes away my ability to life… or have you forgotten that over 800,000 Americans
have died from Covid… and worldwide the number is in the millions…

the priority to existence is greater than the priority of freedom…
for the priority of life is a basic priority of evolution…
the goal of existence is simple to pass on your traits to the next generation…
and that is pretty much all there is to existence… there isn’t any great or grand goal
of existence outside of the right to continue to exist…
and your failure to get a vaccination is an attempt to deny me my fundamental
right to existence…or to be it in a slogan… existence before freedom…

to deny this is to deny the basic point of evolution, which is science…
but I am pretty sure you have no problem with that…

If you feel the vaccine is effective to protect you, why does it matter to you whether or not anyone else takes it?

Peter K might literally be retarded… don’t bother with him…

K: thus relieving one of actually thinking about what I say… the easiest way
to dismiss someone is to call them a name, “commie” “liberal” “Anarchist”
“retarded” it allow one to react to the insult instead of dealing
with the issues that person brings up…

"I don’t have to deal with Kropotkin because he is…“Retarded”…
see how that works…it is really quite a gutless way to dismiss someone…
not only gutless but cowardly…but that is the conservative way, isn’t it?
and I don’t have to deal with those issues by simple dismissing you as
a conservative…

One thing’s funny for sure, they do not know why they don’t like the vaccine. Is it because they believe they get a microchip with it? Is it because they believe they will get Autism? What is the symptom of this vaccine that they deter from taking it? I don’t know and I’m sure they don’t know either. But regardless of the myriad of reason, they don’t have a simple answer, because they never have real answers, only make believe ones.

You can’t properly form sentences and paragraphs. Your logic is weak to nonexistent. Parodites fuckin’ A.I. expresses a greater degree of eloquence. Thus my estimation that you might literally be retarded, albeit a high functioning retard. I didn’t mean it as an insult. It’s just an observation.

How about heart inflammation? How about immune system erosion from endless boosters? Why would anyone who eats correctly and exercises and is relatively young (and thus has a 99.999999% chance of survival if they get covid) get a “vaccine” which potentially has life altering side effects? Do you deny the reality of natural immunity? Why would someone who purports to hate “Nazis” so much be onboard with big governments COERCING people into getting an experimental vaccine? Are you also onboard with the quarantine camps in Australia? It doesn’t really make sense unless the entire persona you put on here is a charade.

Well, for one thing, they can get infected and then pass the disease on to those who are not able to survive it.

But then you’re one of Satyr’s clique/claque minions, aren’t you?

How bout em? Are these other symptoms you propose occurs from vaccines? Not the Microchip? Not the Autism? Or maybe a mixture of both? All of it? How exactly does that work?
