It’s much darker. I'm generally of the opinion that ink spilled about a subreddit mocking antivax deaths could be much, much, better spent evangelizing vaccinations and calling out elected officials who are walking their constituents to the gallows. That subreddit is tacky, what Abbot and DeSantis are doing is legitimately terrible. I know it's not a direct connection, but still. It's not even the worst of the internet nor is it even close to being in the running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hate in the article how it says there's something hypocritical about celebrating these deaths when you're supposed to be pro life or whatever. As I was trying to say in my post yesterday we all want to get past this. And there are things we can do. In descending order of priority: Getting these people vaxxed will get us past this. But they don't want to get a shot. Then getting them tested frequently will help get us past this. But they don't want to do that. Having them isolate and mask up will help get us past this. But they don't want to do that either. One thing we can do is hope they don't infect responsible people trying their best. Another thing we can do is hope that if they're going to infect somebody, please let it be somebody as irresponsible as they are. And, like you are saying, maybe one way we can convince them to do the first and most important thing on my list is to show them the abject horror of the people who are doing the last thing we hope for.

The sheer repetition of the pattern of death is quite remarkable. From the same shitty memes, to "this is no joke", to "prayer warriors", to "his lungs need to rest on the ventilator" to "he's looking good O2 is up!", "to he had a bad night", to "he gained his wings", to the gofundme. Covid is almost like an assembly line of death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarSolo Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I think I might have asked this here, but do you think people would have been more willing to get vaxxed or even take covid more seriously if Trump had died when he got infected? Because him going out on the balcony, saying don’t be afraid, that it isn’t so bad sure as fuck didn’t help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump being old and overweight and surviving bolstered the thinking that COVID want nearly as bad as it could have been. With Trump not there, I doubt anyone in his family would have argued that he only died because he was old and overweight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think other than "the libs are telling me therefore I won't" the other big reason why people don't mask up and get vaccinated is because its easy and comforting to pretend like everything is fine.

ort Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I don't think anything will convince a lot of these people. They are just stubborn as hell and the harder you push the harder they dig in. Facts and numbers and data don't work, because they don't believe anything they read or hear if it goes against what they already think. All the numbers are made up, all of the information is false or exaggerated and all the reporters and scientists and doctors have an agenda and nothing can be trusted. They are impenetrable. I don't root for their deaths or take please in their suffering... but I'm also running out of compassion. When Trump was sick, I was honestly not rooting for his death... but in hindsight, I wish that fucker would have died. It would have probably really saved a lot of lives and ended this whole thing a lot faster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewhyteboar Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I'm beyond frustrated that none of the architects of covid deaths will face any punishment or repercussions. There is blood on the hands of Trump, Abbott, DeSantis, Fucker Carlson, and so many other Republicans. They lie to the gullible, or restrict their citizens from the commonsense methods that we know, we fucking know, work. Yet, nothing will happen to them. They won't be punished, they won't go to jail, they won't lose an election, they won't even get seriously fucking sick (because they are all vaccinated and have top of the line healthcare that their supporters don't have [seriously, almost every single one of those HCA posts say they lack insurance, what a fucked up country]). I don't want regular people to die. No matter how racist, stupid, or gullible they are, they don't deserve death. Even though their actions can hurt the rest of us, they don't deserve to die. Their children don't deserve to grow up without a parent. And yet, the architects of death all deserve to choke on their own blood. I don't believe in an afterlife, nor do I believe that any reckoning is coming in this life, but if there is any justice in this world the Trump/Abbott/DeSantis/Carlson axis of evil bunch will die alone with no one to mourn them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
