So because it takes you 30 minutes to get a vaccine you’re fine with receiving 3 month booster shots for the rest of your life?
ah yes. and you have a completely independent narrative supported by no one but yourself and curated by no one but yourself. you are so self aware.
Yes, I would say I’m more self aware than you, an admitted communist who unironically believes totalitarian governments are good as long as they support what you believe in
Where do you draw the line? Should drunk driving be legal?
How many times do I have to ask, when have I ever called myself a communist?
i've had covid twice i make no illusions about any of this stuff it's all guesswork but if you think there's microchips or dna altering garbage lol
You can call yourself a nihilist for all I care, you are what you are, what do you call an animal that quacks?
And when did I ever say I believed any of that nonsense? My arguments come from CDC data points
When has a duck ever called themselves a duck
no you're endangering strangers. i draw the line at DARE garbage where it's a crime against humanity to harm yourself and the state to should intervene without you asking
PSA: I am not a communist. I think the idea that we can go from some kind of temporary capitalism and socialism into a classless stateless society is bullshit. I think market forces are good and sometimes bad. I can't think of anything I have ever said that is communist.

Tell me literally anything I have said that is communist. Before you reply: communism is not merely authoritarianism

Just go ahead and define your weird political beliefs and call them what you want, you want a strong central government that provides a large amount of social services to its citizens through high taxes or collection of excess profit from labor, I’m not a Huber expert so you can define yourself. Maybe you’re like technically a European socialist but a little more leftist than even Europeans or whatever but you quack like a commie all the same
well I'm glad you think so but I think this worldview doesn't seem too coherent to me so far.
That's pretty accurate.
Be aware that the self proclaimed communists are a whole lot worse than what you described, and people like me distinguish ourselves from them for good reason. So I'm not a communist. Thanks!
yea im no expert nor do i claim to be. im less of a fix all the problems kind of a guy and more of a lets stop what we have from falling apart
Now, if we stuck strictly to economics I would have an earnest discussion with you, and my opinions will likely be completely different, keep in mind I voted for Bernie in the 2016 primaries. The thing I will never accept, as many working class people or people who come from working class backgrounds, is the slew of social changes that is just included in all of this socialist shit that just fundamentally disagrees with what my worldview is and what my experiences have lead me to, to the point I am completely against government intervention in all but the most important issues of society
I'll just finish by saying that what we have had is a strong public health system that mandates vaccines, and it made the world a better place. Not mandating vaccines is, in my view, allowing what we have to fall apart. But whatever. I've posted too much today.
im kinda ambivalent on the whole modern medicine thing
like maybe id just rather have a medicine man spout bullshit at me and give me ineffective herbs before i die of cancer than go through the whole chemo thing
What media do you consume? Earnest question and don't be shy about saying. We all consume this garbage.
For me it's The Nation, The New Republic, The Intercept, and the more plain stuff like AP and Reuters. For the "infotainment" side of things I only have the time for Matt Taibbi's substack these days.
