And he’s 100% correct. I agree entirely.

It is very sad, but yes, he stuck to his guns.

 

[BigMoaner]

The ultimate in doing your own research, out in the field, wheezing away in bed. I'm glad I'm sat here double jabbed and I'm not feeling like a sitting duck.

Yes, it is.

Oops.

 

[petee]

That would be consistent with their beliefs, to which they’re entitled.

no, error has no rights.

“Cambridge educated”… in what? He might have been a theology student for all we can tell from that article.

Greenslade:
Don't tell me you're applying for the post of announcer?

Eccles:
Oh, yeah! And I'll get it too, you'll see! I'm wearing a Cambridge tie!

Greenslade:
You? You were at Cambridge?

Eccles:
Yeah!

Greenslade:
What were you doing there?

Eccles:
Buying a tie.

Went to primary school in Cambridge.

Coming over here, fucking Neanderthals and giving them STDs

& smallpox-ridden mammoth skins.

Thing is, it’s kind of true in that the underlying commonality is a lack of trust in what they are told by authorities.

Frankly, 42 yrs of the general public being indoctrinated to not listen to experts (because politicians & journos know so much better!) has taken its toll. Of course, 42 yrs of - on the whole - shitty neo-liberal politics has given lots of people trust issues too!

My brother had an encounter with a loon the other day, banging on about the vaccines containing micro-chips, so the government can track you.

I take my hat off to his response - 'you seem to be confusing the vaccine with your mobile phone, you fucking loon'.

 

[ViolentPanda]

That's one for sasaferrato.

Fucking cowrie shells & other "shiny things", more like!

 

[ViolentPanda]

Fottlers aren't insane. They're either con-men or the desperate marks whom they've managed to convince.

Fottling sounds like the sort of sex offence you end up doing serious time for!

I'd kind of hoped that the whole "freemen on the land" movement had died out, but obviously not. Instead it's metastasised.

I hope the "freemen on the land" movement never dies out, they provide so much entertainment.

 

[ViolentPanda]

I'm pretty disgusted by the tone of a lot of the ongoing mockery, especially of people dying. Most people who are ''stupid antivaxx nutcases'' have been conned, lied to and tricked. It could, quite literally, happen to any of us. The superior attitude of ''oh no not me I'm too clever for that shit" is .. shit.

Believing obvious lies and untruths, regardless of evidence or experience, to me, hints at (if not massive-red-flags) mental illness. So what I'm seeing here is unwell people being laughed at, ffs even a guy (is he mentally ill? Who knows, let's just laugh along lol) getting tazed by police is treated as a joke.

There's a fantastic book called "The Great Cat Massacre" by Robert Darnton, which is a history of mass delusion from the Middle Ages to the present. It's a fairly robust indicator that many of those who believe obvious lies AREN'T suffering mental ill-health, but are actually caught up in a spiral of false belief (& that's the key word, as belief systems are notoriously followed by people who act on faith, as opposed to logic) perpetuated by self & social reinforcement.

True, but I do feel sorry for the people - the families, usually - who are "collateral damage" to the fuckspuddery.

It's a fair point but there is also a difference between a punter who's been lied to and sucked into it, and someone sucked into it who uses those lies to try to persuade others.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Not really come across many really. Most of those types I knew irl I fell out with ages ago. Some lass in the pub said 'Plandemic' and I just rolled my eyes.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Anti vax loins did appear on a veterans facebook group got a rather robust welcome.
Fucking loons.
The mad nurse and loons blocked the local vaccine clinic. Utter tossers Id have hurled a use at the tossers If I'd known.
Gleefully picked up two streets worth of pamphlets tucked into wind screen wipers and put in the bin .
Tossers are now using the white rose as an emblem cunts.

White rose? Yorkshire twats!

 

[Magnus McGinty]

White rose? Yorkshire twats!

Lass from Sunderland heading the 'Justice for Women and Children' had a white rose she'd run about with and stroke on her demos. I doubt it was a nod at Yorkshire but equally no idea what it meant beyond being white lol

The deluded scum are actually comparing themselves with the courageous anti-Nazi resistance movement of the same name.

Remember, some of these offensive anti-vaxxer filth like to sport yellow stars, since being offered a free vaccine to protect themselves and others from illness - a vaccine they are perfectly free to refuse, despite potential harm to the community they live in - is obviously the exact same thing as the persecution and murder of European Jews under the Nazis.

These people deserve nothing but contempt and loathing.

and maybe a few well-aimed rocks?

 

[ViolentPanda]

This is something I've often heard of wrt fascist stickers etc, never actually seen it in the wild though.

Been hearing about it since the 1970s, & the NF's stickering campaigns. Never seen any actual cases of harm, even though I tore down my fair share of them in the late 70s & the 80s.

Well, theology would certainly have grounded him in the practice of self-deception.

Shit bombs. Horrible smelly turds wrapped in newspaper. Rocks are too civilised.

Think it's already been mentioned but a genuine warning went out through LT channels that anti-vaxx posters on the tube had razors behind them.

 

[nosos]

Really? That old rumour popped into my head while I was peeling off anti-vax stickers recently
