    So? Fighting evil doesn't require direct interest.
    These words have changed meaning to mean anybody who resists totalitarians.

    You people have used that weapon so much it is no longer effective.

    Dictators always assign derogatory terms to the people that challenge their power.

    Calling them that is equivalent of calling then the n word, mud people, or heretics.

    The government is the Nazi. Case in point these people resisting they wouldn't be doing that if the government wasn't acting like a Nazi.

    For you to just be in denial of this is absurd when they come for your rights there will be nobody to speak up for you.

    Its not going to get out of control if you did nothing. 99.8% survival rate means many have been pounded with so much fear mongering they think everyone that contracts the virus died.

    I think the fear is largely cooked up by the possibilities that you may be one of those fluke cases and that catches it and dies. People have a tendency to fear things they shouldn't and not fear things they should.

    I have a family member that is terrified of catching coronavirus she's been vaccinated she's been working from home. She wears a mask everywhere. She does her best to say 6 ft apart from other people.

    But I've seen her drive and I'm seeing her texting somebody while she was driving I actually had to reach over and grab the wheel to prevent us from going off of the road.

    This young woman is 29 so her likelihood of catching this virus is very low.

    I keep telling her the way she drives she's far more likely to die in traffic than from this virus and her responses "I don't want to take that chance." When I respond to her "you take a far greater chance of death every time you take your eyes off the rest of your driving."

    It all has to do with what the news is talking about. They don't talk about traffic accidents and how many people die on the road.

    That's not a fun interesting topic. My cousin doesn't stop driving like that because she's afraid of dying.

    She does support gun control cuz she's afraid of getting shot. I asked her how many people do you personally know that have died in a car accident. And she goes on about a list and then I ask her how many people do you personally know that were murdered and there's silence.

    Fear is a useful tool to control idiots.

    Wrong. This is not my observation. The union members themselves stated that the bulk of those protestors were ‘outsiders’...

    Don't you find it strange that nobody gets the seasonal cold or flu anymore? May have to quarantine them for that should it make a resurgence.
