They'll probably proudly claim they won without a hint of irony.

Reminds me of that older Odin meme;

"Odin promised the end of all frost giants, and I don't see any frost giants."

Damn it. Your realisation just manifested my nose to bleed.

Must be the vaccines

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 89 points 8 months ago

Oh, they are still around. Now they are talking about people in their 20s dying from the vaccine. And there have been millions of young people (in Germany alone) who died because of the vaccine. The government just made the bodies disappear and payed their families off.

I wish I was joking, but no. This is the shit they believe. I hate every single amoeba on the right.

Had this one from my grandmother.

Apparently doctors and nurses have been paid off to peddle this and it's all part of a big global hoax.

Meanwhile my sister with $80,000 nursing student loans is like "Wtf where's my money? You mean I nearly died working my butt off for nothing??" - 80 hours "full time" per week.

Also ignoring the fact that if even 0.001% of the global medical community has misgivings about accepting what I assume must have been an enormous bribe that we would have heard about it??

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago

Yeah this one is more than a little irritating. I’ve encountered too many people who know someone who has someone in their life that was adversely affected by the vaccine. Heart attacks, strokes, nerve issues, whatever. But when you press them for the details there’s always something else, like the person has diabetes, had a bunch of age-related diseases, etc. But there’s no way those things had anything to do with their poor health…no, it has to be the vaccine. Or maybe the even got covid, but refused to get tested.

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's the same problem I have with people who want me to fix their computer. Any issues that come up at any time in the future, no matter how much time passed or how unrelated it is, was caused by "whatever I did."

No, Aunt Karen, the malware you downloaded is not from me restarting your Wi-Fi adapter 3 years ago.

And with these people any negative health issues that occur can only be attributed to vaccines.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

someone in their life that was adversely affected by the vaccine.

There are rare side effects. When someone brings it up, it's important to acknowledge it but qualify the risk. .0001% of heart problem or .1 % of death. Tell them it's like driving without a seat belt because of the 1 in a million chance you get in an accident where the seatbelt traps you. Meanwhile 77% of all people have been in an accident.

[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

0.1% chance of death is one in a thousand. That seems mighty high.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

"The COVID-19 age-adjusted death rate for the age 65 and over population was 533.5 per 100,000 standard population."

"the death rate for COVID-19 among adults aged 85 and over (1,645.0 per 100,000)"

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db446.htm

Assuming the relative was somewhere between 65 and 85 puts it at around 1 in a thousand.

[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I think I misunderstood. I thought you were stating that the vaccine caused one in a thousand to die.

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

I was saying 1 in a thousand to die from COVID vs 1 in a million to have complications from the vaccine.

[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Yeah I see. I completely misread it

Conservative movements and religious fundamentalism have a lot in common. When you see it that way it makes more sense.

[-] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 47 points 8 months ago

I genuinely wish they had properly in forced lockdown for around 6 months, maybe then more of my friends who had covid would be alive

[-] soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Where I live in the UK lockdown seemed to be optional. I went out for my daily exercise and noticed little to no difference in car and foot traffic.

Sad really

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 42 points 8 months ago

They just attribute it to them winning and now they have to keep fighting for freedom

Obama FEMA Boncentration Bamps!
He's coming for yer gunz!

They repeat the same lie over and over and over again, and these one-dimensional simpletons swallow the entire thing, time after time after time.
The problem is, these one-dimensional simpletons vote.

And you know who doesn't vote? The other type of simpleton who swallows that other cherry-picking lie, over and over and over again: bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe.

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 11 points 8 months ago

I would however like to clarify that neither Republicans nor Democrats will solve the systemic issues in any meaningful way, and it's not saying "both sides are the same" to point this out. I literally voted for Biden, but I still have Democrats accuse me of "voting for Trump" when I point out ways the Democrats do things like uphold a capitalist economy, extend the reach of fascist agencies like ICE, take power away from the working class, compromise with right-wing extremists, and observe a hierarchical system.

I can agree that Republicans are far worse, and I can cast my vote, while still being honest about the situation.

[-] mean_bean279@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

I read your “time after time after time” as “time after time” with the Cindy Lauper song. It really threw me off for a minute.

Aren't we all supposed to be dead by now from the poisonous vaccine? This has got to be the slowest-working poison I've ever seen.

[-] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 months ago

Millions upon millions around the world within 6 months of the first "jab"

[-] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 8 months ago

They're all dead, you just don't know them they go to a different school.

I don't understand what these peolple were thinking. The government would never put human lives above the economy. Of course everything was going to reopen once the lives lost wouldn't hurt the bottom line.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 25 points 8 months ago

I'm still burning through my massive mask stash. Actually feels like being sick much less frequently compared to life before masks.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago

Same ones who said COVID would magically disappear right after the 2020 election.

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I must be bias because I grew up in peak 'war on drugs' times. Being young and impressionable I thought there was no way the government could possibly lose. Then they taught us about prohibtion. Then I found out everyone I knew smoked weed.

End of the day, anarchy already exists in the minds of anarchists. The government is inadequate when comes to policing individuals.

When it comes to changing societal norms, you always have to start at the social contract. Otherwise, all you have is a signed piece of paper.

[-] Sanyanov@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

They will now say it's only because they fought and warned us

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I also have someone like this in my distant family who thought Corona is a cold, that masks makes you unable to breath, that the WHO will take over the power of all countries, that the World Economic Forum in Davos will reset all financial markets to zero and that the USA will invade Ukraine to secure its bio-weapons laboratories.
You can imagine that family gatherings became fun from then on.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Woah. This guy is taking Roy off the grid!

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 18 points 8 months ago

My wife was working at an assisted living facility when those conspiracies were at their peak. She had a coworker who believed in it and tried very hard to convince the residents of the conspiracy too

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago

It's funny that they attacked Drag Queens because they hated Transpeople..

Not only do we have nothing to do with each other, but the Drag Queen community has a history of being highly transphobic.
