Discussion: UK anti-vaxx 'freedom' morons, protests and QAnon idiots

[May Kasahara]

A fresh wave of White Rose stickers has washed over my neighbourhood probably from my nutty Covidiot neighbour. There was one at the station this morning that said something like "men in 1941: facing a 90% chance of death - men in 2021: scared of a 90% recovery rate". I amended the latter with a biro, so it says "men in 2021: moaning about their perceived lack of freedoms".

Also, where it said "brought to you by the white rose", I crossed out "the white rose" and put "a load of twats"

Perhaps you could post an image of the "white rose" sticker, and maybe Urban could come up with a suitable parody. Close enough to the original to be not immediately obvious, but seriously subverting the message

Another addition to the delusion, apparently some of them saying the flooding in northern Europe was down to the elites and their wave and rain creating technology.

I am surprised they are not blaming it on the vaccines.

Don't worry, a crack team of rightloon messaging experts is as we speak huddled round a conference table in a windowless basement meeting room with stockpiled flip charts and Sharpies, poised to mindmap the shit out of all the threads until they have a single, unified theory of crazy

That’s why we have to launch another crowdfunding appeal for TCW. Last time we achieved only the half of the £25,000 we aimed for, the sum we calculated we needed to put us on a firmer footing and to pay for the help we need.

I don't think £25,000 is anywhere near enough to pay for the help they need.

Good work

awww diddums

I follow a few anti flat earth channels, and one of them featured a flat earther whose quit producing videos as he's tried to crowd fund £250,000 to build a mile long level piece of wood to disprove earth curve (somehow), anyway he managed to get £9k, but couldn't understand why he didn't get more money, because all the pro flat earth channels he'd been feature had more than 250,000 subscribers and all they had to do way donate a pound.

The point being this seems to be a mindset where they are totally convinced they are correct and there a loads of people who agree with them. When there just aren't that many people who do.

I know it's a cheap shot but still hilarious though:

Yes
They have faith
they either believe there are loads of them, or feel special as they are part of the few who can see through the lies. Or both at the same time.

Someone sooooo needs to "Muslamic Raygun" these loons

You can download archives of the 'Approved' sticker designs from their website or their main Telegram channel.
They come in several styles including the very on-trend horisontal format.

Then just 'follow the simple instructions'.

Don’t forget to stick them horisontally.

Disappointingly defeatist.

All he needs to do is buy £9 grands-worth of wood, saw it lengthwise into 28ths, glue them end to end, and Bob's your uncle job done

 

[Raheem]

Or just grow a mile-high tree.

"It's just leading to a socialistic utopia in my opinion"

Why that will do nicely, thanks.

Or rent a Theodolite / Dumpy Level and find a hill at some distance, find a local hill that is slightly higher, walk up that hill to the same height as the top distant hill, use the Level. If the Earth is level then the top of the distant hill will meet the level mark on your Level. If not the Earth still flat, but 'Big Survey' is in on the conspiracy too.

Lucky that a hugely long piece of wood isn't going to bend with the weight.

 

[IC3D]

I wonder what is the longest man made object?

 

[two sheds]

Great wall of china? And that follows the earth's surface, doesn't stick up at both ends so he's right the world's flat

 

[WouldBe]

Don’t forget to stick them horisontally.

If they can work out what horizontal is.

 

[Raheem]

Also, you can put a ball on the Great Wall without it rolling in either direction. That couldn't happen if there was a curve.

 

[belboid]

San Francisco to New Zealand undersea cable. About 5000 miles long

 

[gentlegreen]

This guy built a massively long building in CAD - I didn't have the patience to watch much of it ....

 

[WouldBe]

That would prove his point if it bends at the same rate the earth curves. Problem will be finding a site a mile long that is perfectly flat to try it.

Daily Mail online comments has become infected with truthers, with frequent comments along the lines of "can't you see what is happening / wake up / do you own research" - I initially read these as frustration on the part of the truther, frustrated that we the sheeple hadn't opened our eyes yet, despite all their selfless campaigning.
However it's more likely to be smugness, "I know something you don't".

Maybe they are frustrated in other areas of their lives, so the feeling of belonging to a special vanguard of clever people helps offset that.
