Covid 19 conspiracies dump

[Rev. Rye]

I think the most long term benefit comes with people taking precautions before they get COVID so people don't die needlessly. And also not playing "SHOUTING IDIOT whispering sensible person" about the COVID vaccine like you've been doing would also be good. Don't know what "SHOUTING IDIOT whispering sensible person" is? Well, let this exploration of this technique guide you (and the elaboration on the term starts about 37 minutes in, though the rest of the video is leading up to it):



At least, to your credit, I've seen other forumites try this tactic and not even bother with the "whispering sensible person" part of the tactic.

I watched your video and I see what you're getting at, but I don't believe that is me. I've definitely seen enough of Tim Pool to see that he pretty clearly seems to be playing a character, and he's a pretty big grifter. Who knows what he really believes. The clickbaity topics he makes videos on are just to get more views and therefore more donations imo, and it seems to be working out for him, so why stop I guess.

I'm not doing the same thing Tim is doing. I'm siding with all of the scientists and doctors who say there is still more to learn about the vaccines, and that this is an evolving situation, and better information will be known to us as time goes on. "I don't know" is not always a bad answer, and I don't mind saying I don't know from time to time when appropriate. It shows humility. And yes, the thing I'm really concerned about is our civil liberties, because once we lose those, I don't think we're going to be getting them back once the pandemic is over with. We lose them for good imo, which is why I'm louder about this. There's already loads of people here talking about people getting sick. I don't need to be one more voice virtue signaling about that. There's enough of that already. I'm one of the few talking about civil liberties and people's rights, as these are going to be the lasting impacts of the pandemic, and therefore this has been my focus.

If you're siding with "all those scientists," bear in mind that that "all" is, by all accounts, a slim minority.

And what civil liberties do you actually think will be curtailed when this is all over? Do you think that governments are going to make people stay six feet apart just for the lulz? Or is it just your concern that the powers that be are going to take less shit from anti-vaxxers than they did in 2019?

And if the "SHOUTING IDIOT whispering sensible person" technique doesn't apply to your rhetoric about the vaccines, that's only because you frequently forget to do the "whispering sensible person." You constantly make arguments downplaying the usefulness of the vaccines, act like the few scientists who don't think the COVID vaccine is good trump the majority that does, and decry the poor treatment those who refuse the jab tend to get, while only occasionally mentioning that you treat them as Darwin Award winners.
