  • It's actually not even about the vaccine, but the fact that people were about to lose their jobs over it, and for what? The science didn't support it, but zealots like you pushed it, wanted the blood of the heretics standing up to the official narratives that didn't logically make sense. And now you downplay it while exaggerating and distorting narratives about murder in the streets.

  • Lots of black people and Hispanics voted for him, and i don't think they did so because they were racist. They had other reasons.

  • No, I'm bothered that we couldn't talk about natural immunity, something that was understood and taken for granted for hundreds of years prior to covid. We couldn't talk about the origins of the virus, and we couldn't talk about who was actually at risk and how we could respond to address that. I'm bothered that people like you thought it was ok to force people to get vaccinated or effectively be removed from society regardless of the actual risk/ benefit associated with it. People like you got the vaccine and then when it didn't work as well as we were told it would, started to find scape goats. Thankfully the supreme court finally stepped in, otherwise who knows what big pharma could have done to society. And you would have been perfectly fine with it. Talk about fascism, how about when pharmaceutical companies collaborate with the government to force people to take their product, otherwise they cannot participate in society? Hypocrite. No moral or intellectual integrity, only justification and mental gymnastics to support your team. People like you make me sick, and lemmy is full of them.

  • I remember calls from the left to round up unvaccinated "plague rats", having to present proof of vaccination to eat at restaurants, and eventually a vaccine mandate. A federal law requiring covid vaccination for the right to have a job. A new class of illegal person was created during covid.

  • You think 40 percent of Americans voted for trump because they are racist?

  • I mean, doesn't this work exactly in reverse for the left?

  • No that's my more thoughtful cousin. I think the simplest solution is to burn it down.

  • Safe spaces are a micro border, a way for people to separate themselves from other people for their mental health. Should they be allowed to do so and does that have any relevance to the larger discussion about borders? I think it does. I think people instinctively want borders to protect themselves from others who might mean them harm. It's natural and inherent to humans. Just curious what you thought, given your stated stance on borders.

  • How do you feel about safe spaces

  • I've heard crazier things on lemmy, but I think it's sarcasm in this case.

  • If you have any requirement for entry then it's not really an open border and you need some kind of enforcement to enforce those requirements.

  • The framing is because of the context of this conversation. Also that's a lot of words for a whattabout and an implication of racism.

  • Are you pointing out that illegal immigrants are criminals by definition because they are here illegally? Or are you asking why citizen criminals shouldn't also be deported?

  • Not only that, but a legal obligation.

  • The paradox of intolerance is the one that's been getting to me lately. People forgot that its a paradox and think it's justification for them to attack people they disagree with.

  • I'm happy to welcome immigrants who want to make better lives for themselves, if they want to work hard and buy into the American dream that we all want to see succeed. If they want to take advantage or disrupt the system for their own benefit (to the detriment of the system or others), or if they don't follow the laws, then they should be expelled.

  • Yeah that's one criteria for selective enforcement, but lately it's also been happening along political party lines.

  • Like immigration laws? There has always been selective enforcement.

  • Democrats have more to gain from ICE shooting people than Trump does.
