I’m going to assume you are intentionally supporting my point, as opposed to unintentionally.

Lots and lots of people will “find out” if there is open season on certain words defined by whoever. That’s why we agree not to.

What about the people without a brain who think they have a brain? Should they get to decide?

The problem is that lots of adults have confidence in their own morality, but they don’t agree. So if you allow violence to enforce your own moral code, then you have to recognize that they will do it too.

Who decides what a slur is?

I actually completely agree. I can’t stand cancel culture. People are way more than how they stand on a particular topic.

Do we like Roald Dahl again? He got canceled a while back for anti semitism, but that’s pretty hot right now.

It’s actually not even about the vaccine, but the fact that people were about to lose their jobs over it, and for what? The science didn’t support it, but zealots like you pushed it, wanted the blood of the heretics standing up to the official narratives that didn’t logically make sense. And now you downplay it while exaggerating and distorting narratives about murder in the streets.

No, I’m bothered that we couldn’t talk about natural immunity, something that was understood and taken for granted for hundreds of years prior to covid. We couldn’t talk about the origins of the virus, and we couldn’t talk about who was actually at risk and how we could respond to address that. I’m bothered that people like you thought it was ok to force people to get vaccinated or effectively be removed from society regardless of the actual risk/ benefit associated with it. People like you got the vaccine and then when it didn’t work as well as we were told it would, started to find scape goats. Thankfully the supreme court finally stepped in, otherwise who knows what big pharma could have done to society. And you would have been perfectly fine with it. Talk about fascism, how about when pharmaceutical companies collaborate with the government to force people to take their product, otherwise they cannot participate in society? Hypocrite. No moral or intellectual integrity, only justification and mental gymnastics to support your team. People like you make me sick, and lemmy is full of them.

I remember calls from the left to round up unvaccinated “plague rats”, having to present proof of vaccination to eat at restaurants, and eventually a vaccine mandate. A federal law requiring covid vaccination for the right to have a job. A new class of illegal person was created during covid.

I mean, doesn’t this work exactly in reverse for the left?
