When did it become cool to vaccinate? I would expect it to be the other way around. Being vaccinated as a kid is stupid, there is no reason outside conformity with the state, parents and teachers.
This level of propaganda is just insanity.
I think most prefer a license to abuse rather than fight power. You make it okay to bully someone and suddenly everyone is strapping on their finest oppression boots. Besides, if they're all vaxed, they're automatically on the pro-vax side and have to either ostracise the unvaxed or recognise themselves as the uncool kids.
I'm still surprised how kids weren't more rebelious..? I mean kids would throw massive tantrums because they can't wear tiny skirts or hats and yet they all obediently follow the mask rule?
Because the TV, movies, and video games aren't telling them to defy that one.
Media subverts everything it doesn't like with messaging, so of course it tells girls to defy societal norms and they should want to dress like sluts. Of course it tells boys to be simps interpret their value in terms of what they give to women.
I'm not surprised. They're drilled into blind obedience daily, are actively kept from positive role models for individualism, and their parents are too weak to provide one themselves.
Humans are typically very malleable as children, most obediently conform to the society they're exposed to, the ones who don't are the noble minority. Every dictatorship in history has proven it.
It's also why when rebellion is in it occasional cool phase that the most vigorous discussion inevitably revolves around who are just posers. Because only some of them are sticking it to the man because they want to, they rest are just sticking it to the man because they were told that's what they have to do to be cool.
The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior ‘righteous indignation’ — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.” ~ Aldous Huxley
Christianity is uncool; the false idols of consumerism, celebrity culture, scientism, and modern-day Bolshevism are incredibly cool.
Modern "science" has become a religion. True science does not silence dissenting voices or censor evidence that is inconvenient. Real science follows the evidence wherever it goes. Modern "science" is wholly faith-based and is dependent on dogma handed down by authority figures.
Expensive clothes, cars, lifestyles, living without restraint, doing whatever you want, breaking the law, outcast status (demonstrating how special you are), disobeying authority UNLESS you can win virtue points by following the authority narrative (demonstrating how special and amazing you are).
Christianity will never be cool because it’s the opposite of self-indulgent — it’s about self-sacrifice.
Conformity has always been popular, by definition. When rebellion is popular, it is always in a prepackaged, safe form that may distress parents, but is in line with what the powers-that-be want.
Teens today think rebellion is doing what corporate wants. For some reason. The new generation is a bunch of mindless sheep, slave to their pocket electronics.

All you need to do is tell them that those nasty grown-up conservatives don't want them doing it.

It became cool the moment it went from an act of healthcare to an act of religion.
As a Christian, when did religion become cool?
Christianity is uncool; the false idols of consumerism, celebrity culture, scientism, and modern-day Bolshevism are incredibly cool.

“Cool” usually means self-indulgent.
Expensive clothes, cars, lifestyles, living without restraint, doing whatever you want, breaking the law, outcast status (demonstrating how special you are), disobeying authority UNLESS you can win virtue points by following the authority narrative (demonstrating how special and amazing you are).

Yeah, it's far less "being cool" as it is "not being ripped apart by the mob".
Adults put a veneer of civilization on it, but they have the same attitudes as their lord of the flies preschool kids.
