@DW2 They cannot be trusted to make their own decisions, but they can be trusted make the choice on who will do that for them. At least, that is if we take our current "democracy" at face value. When elections can be rigged, then it indeed proves that they do not trust people to make their own decisions.

I do not give them the benefit of the doubt that they were anything but the second category.

@furgar And the media made sure to circle their wagons to claim it was not the vaxx that did him in:

"It wasn't the vaxx, it was a brain aneurysm!"

Gee, I wonder if the experimental drug that is know as the clot shot could also cause aneurysms as well? Given that aneurysms are also an issue related to blood flow.

@Tfmonkey
I doubt this is by design, just as the one child policy in China was not designed to create a huge excess of boys versus girls. Regardless of intentions, the outcomes are what we should be concerned with. With possible collapse to some degree coming our way, stronger family structures are an even greater necessity.

Although if it is by design, I can see the motivation, as destroying the family gives the state far more power.

@Tfmonkey So when we have the clot shot possibly lower life expectancies, we are cutting off a critical part of the family life and structure. Good grandparents are a major asset to family success, as they can assist with caretaking of little ones (if they are good grandparents they will happily do this), provide advice to the next generation, and social support in other ways.

Yes, I am talking about the ideal family, but we may have a case where virtually NOBODY will have this available.

@Tfmonkey While we need to have strong families in order to have a more stable society, we should not just be thinking of the nuclear family. Yes, the nuclear family is important, but we must also consider the larger extended family when it comes to family stability. This includes grandparents, of course, and when you have healthy relationships with these family members as well as other extended family members, you are more likely to have the core nuclear family fare better.

@Tfmonkey When you mentioned on your show about how the intents of the clot shot might be to lower life expectancies, I can see some major downstream consequences similar to that of the one-child policy in China. I can see this causing major issues with the family structure, making it break down even further than it already has (with single mothers, divorce, and a lack of authority of fathers).

This is because grandparents are important when it comes to a healthy family structure.

@mutageno One of the strangest red pills you can receive is finding out that teachers are not really all that smart. It is hard for grade schoolers to grasp thus, but it becomes much more clear by the time you get to high school.

Another falsehood that is propagated is that you need a degree to teach.

And don't teachers yammer on about having smaller class sizes? Home schooling gets you as small you can get!

Funny that the state sponsored media mentions how low gas prices "cooled inflation," as I just witnessed gas prices increase by 40 cents a gallon in just a week.

And they of course will always claim that it just all these individual factors driving inflation rather than money printing. But what can we expect from the direct media arm of the state?

@WashedOutGundamPilot @PapaPole @Twoinchdestroya And before someone else brings it up, I will not defend farm subsidies. Even so, we need farmers to have the food we need to survive, unless you grow/hunt/gather it for yourselves.

I personally know farmers and I can say that they have a good number of 16 hour work days in the year. So we should at least appreciate their work when we go to the grocery store and get easy access to food.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @PapaPole @Twoinchdestroya I should clarify that I don't think that there are not complete shit workplaces or that everyone should accept a job that sucks. The problem comes when you have people think that they should basically get everything for free while not even considering that we still need people to work in order for society to function. Farmers, power plant workers, and others who extract resources from the land do not owe you the fruits of their labor for nothing.

@Tony @Twoinchdestroya @WashedOutGundamPilot @PapaPole I also have no issue with people forming a commune and all. The problem I have is when they try to scale it to the world at large and force everyone else to participate. This is retarded because a commune only "works" on a small scale (if it does at all), so adding more people who do not want part of that system just makes everyone miserable.

@Tony @WashedOutGundamPilot @PapaPole @Twoinchdestroya Yes, which is why most of them don't join them.

@PapaPole @Twoinchdestroya @WashedOutGundamPilot Are you telling me people would make things up to push an agenda and get upvotes online?

I despise the r/antiwork crowd as they live in a fantasy world where they think that work is oppressive and that they should just be able to do whatever they want with their time and still be able to eat and have a place to live. Nothing is stopping them from seeking alternatives such as living off grid or forming a commune.
