You’re preaching to the choir here. My point was that the anti-corporate crowd that believes companies are trying to murder their customers for profit are not normally so charitable to such a thing. It was a bizarre moment of clarity. A benefit of doubt extended to only Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson and no other corporations.

Meanwhile, the MAGA crowd that would jump off a cliff if Trump told them to, drew the line at vaccines for some reason.

It was and still is weird.

No one “seriously lectured you” on that.

Not on that but something similar. It’s called an analogy.

I suppose if you simply label all the people who interpret your comment a certain way as “bots”

It’s not just a label. It’s a logical conclusion. If I’m talking to my neighbor and I make a joke about how eating cookies will make them explode and they begin to seriously lecture me about how there is no evidence that cookies make people explode and accuse me of lying, I’m going to assume there is something mentally wrong with them. Any rational person would assume that. It’s like a Twilight Zone episode. On the Internet, if two or more people are exhibiting the same symptoms, they’re probably bots.

Fuck right the hell off with your trolling and your attempts to spread doubt.

Dang. I feel like I’m in an I Think You Should leave skit.

That was absolutely not the impression anyone would get from reading your initial comment.

They do. Most people are not as irrational and simple as you are.

Lol that’s not how that works.

Yes. It is. If you pretend to be a Nazi and spread Nazi propaganda, you are a Nazi. That’s what Mother Night is all about. But I actually got the vaccine because like most people, I didn’t want to get covid. It sounds unpleasant. And if you don’t want covid, get the vaccine.

You’re actively sowing confusion and doubt and attacking people for being pro-vaccine

You keep insisting this but it’s not true. No one except you and the bots are getting confused about this. Rational humans will never believe that vaccines will make them explode.

I mind the other part, the part where you’re discouraging people from getting vaccinated.

I’m not doing that. That’s all in your head, pal.

Yes, I’m sure bashing everyone else who got the vaccine as a brainwashed hypocrite who’s just following trends

I’m not though because the vast majority of people are not political hobbyists and they, like me, did not get the vaccine because it was fashionable. They got it because it was reasonable.

Come on, you know as well as I do that none of your comments from the very beginning have been about encouraging anyone to get vaccinated.

This is not true. But if you insist on believing it, take comfort from the lessons of Kurt Vonnegut’s Mother Night. Even if I’m pretending to encourage people to get vaccinated, it is still encouraging people to get vaccinated. You are who you pretend to be.

My rational responses will encourage people to get the vaccine. Your psychotic rants will scare them away from it.

All I can say is that I got the vaccine and I encourage others to do so too because of the evidence and not because some lunatic on the internet might call you a dickhead if you don’t.

It’s criticizing political hobbyist. I got the vaccine because it was rational to get it. You got the vaccine because it was fashionable.

Nobody took it at face value, you lying troll.

Ahhhh. I see. Bot angry! Bot smash!

The way you troll is by saying more people should be antivax

WTF! I in no way said this.

You’re just a troll. And one of the worst kinds of trolls, someone who trolls about vaccines. Your stupid little games get people killed.

This is an unhinged non sequitur. I am clearly in favor of vaccines. I am clearly pointing out how incredibly safe they are.

I’ve never heard the phrase in my life.

Google it. There are pages and pages and pages of results for it.

No, shit? Are you guys having a stroke? Should we send help?

It’s clearly a joke. Poking fun at the “Regulations are written in blood!” crowd who have to scream “It’s safe and effective!” in everyone’s faces because their very souls on the line if they’re wrong. They’re telling themselves. Especially when they’re yelling it at me.

For me, if evidence pops up years down the road that it has a statistically increased chance of causing cancer or whatever, it’s no big deal because I know regulations have to be written in blood because that blood is the evidence that there is a problem. We can’t act till we have evidence.

The question is are you perfectly okay with waiting till people start exploding? What if you explode?

Really now? It’s been thoroughly debunked that vaccines cause people to explode? I could be wrong, but I think that I am the very first person on Earth to propose that.

I’m pretty sure you’re a bot. You seem completely unable to parse my comments.

Are you joking or is the whole world still cross-eyed about this?

Not only was the vaccine incredibly safe it was also incredibly effective.

Are you telling me, or are you telling yourself that?

I don’t know, man. They said the same thing about PFAS, thalidomide, the 1976 U.S. swine flu vaccine and fentanyl. You could have up to an 80% increased chance of exploding before the age 65.

Nobody was thinking straight during the Covid Panic. I got the vaccine because I’m the type of person it likes to kill.

But it surprised me that the crowd that are terrified of Forever Chemcalz, atomz, BPA, microplastics and frequently scream “Regulations are written in blood!” were chomping at the bit to force everyone to get injected with a product from Big Pharma that was fast tracked and bypassed all normal regulations to get to market as soon as possible by the executive orders of a billionaire president they despised.

Meanwhile, the MAGA crowd were booing Trump at his rallies when he told them to go out and get vaccinated.

The whole world had gone cross-eyed.

Edit:

If any humans happen into this thread, take a look at these bots below replying, upvoting, downvoting. It’s shocking. It’s like There Will Come Soft Rains in reverse.

They have no idea what I’m saying. I made a joke about the possibility that vaccines could cause people to explode and they’re taking it at face value. Spitting out the same messages over and over “it’s safe and effective” and “You’re spreading misinformation” and demanding I provide evidence that vaccines cause people to explode and seriously explaining that vaccines do not cause people to explode. Wow.

Maybe the world didn’t go cross-eyed. It was the bots.

My cat is weird. She loves the taste of soap.

I think it’s fairly new, but when you use search, there’s a list of filters at the top now like All, Videos, Unwatched, Watched, Recently Uploaded, etc. If you click video, it will only list videos with no shorts.
