Was about to say the same thing. Got dragged into one by a friend aaand uuh yeah. There was a surface veneer of "friendliness" but there was so much hateful tension , not aimed at me, but between the people there. They were all constantly trying to one up each other.
Discussion is not a thing for many people these days.
They've become so enamoured with chasing "social points" , winning arguments, or "making a point".
It's even prevalent irl. Most conversations people have no longer have substance or meaning. They're either hollow conversations to avoid pissing off a friend, because neither can accept a conversation at its face value and not a conversion attempt, or the conversations are .. actual attempts to convert opinion.
It's not really even a recent thing, I noticed it in the early 90s. I'd know one or two people who I disagreed with completely politically, morally and so forth, but could still hold a conversation with them and consider friends because we respected each others autonomy and choices.
Over the years, that respect has gone. Now there's a right and a wrong and if a conversation makes it uncomfortable, it's a wrong.
Received her first dose today... After MONTHS of people dying to side effects.
But it's totally safe. Yep. So safe most drs nurses and scientists either haven't dosed, or are like this one waiting until likely they have no choice. Imagine if she refused, how bad the optics would be.
Even assuming she actually has taken a shot, and it's not just fluff piece , protection piece by race. Cause this could easily be used as "das racist" ammunition.
Not sure if joking and know, or serious and don't know.
The plot to Deus ex. The world's population needs ambrosia to survive the grey death. The company that makes ambrosia also propogates the grey death and artificially limits ambrosia.
Australia is in civil war, and not only does most of the world not know it, I don't think half of Australians do either. I've seen several videos where some folks will just ignore and walk away from clear brutality moments.
When North Korea and other dictats do this behaviour they're all over news.
Because of other factors, it was the perfect storm and opportunity for journalists to start their attack on gamers.
Journalism /magazines were dying. They saw the writing on the wall long ago as they merged international branches together and became online only.
Sark shows up and kicks the hornets nest of gamers, who DO tell her to go pound sand. She's largely ignored for a while, then Literally Who saga kicks off, and media takes it and runs with it, using it as an excuse for their dying industry.
They blamed their audience for their lack of integrity and getting blacklisted by major games companies.
So it's not so much that she didn't get called out, it's that they weaponized her. If they hadn't she would have just remained another Jack Thompson.
All they've done is use traditional vaccine methodology and ascribed its benefits/effects to an experimental prototype.
If they called the covid vaccine what it actually is, gene therapy/alteration people would have ran a mile.
The problem I have with both those laws is they were drafted, pre Mob-justice era (IE 2007 upward).
They weren't ever drafted with it in mind if people started using a person's medical records or social presence as a weapon.
I'm fine with the records being accessed and looked at, but they shouldn't be used as a basis for impugning a punishment based on... Social hatred. It's the one thing I believe America gets very wrong, much like the whole at will firing in some states. No warning just bam.
Yes. There's a reason why this all has come to a head starting 2008. The financial "crash". It forced them to accelerate their plans for social engineering. It also acts as a nice distraction from who actually fucked up the economy, despite it being known the world over now... This is the new problem. Forget the old one.
It's like dogs chasing rabbits, but the dog isn't chasing a rabbit , he's chasing seven, and can't keep track of one.
