ZERO FREEDOM: “Zero COVID" Australians To JAIL Jail For Shopping Without Vaccine Passport

[luctor-et-emergo]

A lot of what I've seen TheCount do is correct blatantly wrong information. So if reality is a minority opinion, maybe the response should be to introspect a bit more, rather than seeking comfort in the majority.

I think we should stop these useless discussions and embrace what we believe in. Freedom of speech and a good debate. You need people who vehemently disagree with you to better shape your arguments. We should be happy there are a few of those people here and we should be proud that we don't ban them too easily. Our leftwing counterparts would ban us in a second.

Actually that's not usually been true. I think that I've been rather consistent in my opinions over time. What has changed is the prevailing opinion of the forum...

Sometime in 2015, people began hating on me because I did not go along with Orange Man Good, the surge of Stormfronters and "racialist" politics on the forum during 2015-2016, etc.

Somewhere around 2018 people realized that Orange Man was, in fact, pretty bad, and the hate eased off except for the die-hard Trumpkins.

Now I'm not going along with Vaccines Kill Ten Million Babies per Second, or any of the related prevailing opinions, and there's more hate, including from some people with whom I've generally agreed the whole time I've been on the forum.

I'm fine with that. I don't feel any particular need to go along with the crowd, never have and never will. I'm not here to belong to a clique or culture, nor for acceptance. If people hate what I post, they hate what I post. If they like what I post, they like what I post. If I'm banned, I'm banned. It's not of any concern to me.

You were collateral damage in a fake forum war since how that started was not real. There were however people on both sides that joined in thinking it was real and thus you joined in the Trump supporter witch hunt.

There was a time I'd have definitely agreed with you in this case. But that was before the current nope-a-dope strategy.

Nope

Now I put him on a level with Swordshyll.

When was the last time TheCount had a good debate? Most people seem to just have gotten into a habit of ignoring his posts entirely (myself included).

TheCount, Sunny Tufts, I just skip because they are always (always) 0 value. Orange-man-bad snark isn't an "opposing viewpoint". If that's what people want there's plenty of other places to find it (e.g., everywhere).

Its people like him that causes us to have a Silent Majority. EVERYONE should be able to make decisions for themselves. For the rulers to have authority, the ability to make those choices is negated. Trouble is that people like The Count, and Zippy when he was around, support those who take away ALL choices from people.

Melbourne cases hit record despite two months of lockdown

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/australias-victoria-reports-record-new-covid-19-cases-2021-09-29/

SYDNEY, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Melbourne's COVID-19 cases surged to record levels on Thursday with officials blaming illegal home gatherings to watch a key sporting event for the spike as a hard lockdown to combat the spread of the Delta variant neared two months.

SO. WHAT.

I liked Zippy & I like [MENTION=58229]TheCount[/MENTION]- I enjoy his sarcasm & POV- that doesn't mean I always agree, but I don't have to hate anyone for disagreeing.

And, he's not the one who made this thread about him.

So back to the serious subject? Washington State is hiring for camps to hold dangerous Covid peeps.

I wasn't part of that, and we haven't interacted much at all, but I always thought Trump was a dirtbag politician who was only in it for the lulz, and every time I've seen the 'white culture' bullshit here I've called it out (particularly in immigration discussions).

Now I'm not going along with Vaccines Kill Ten Million Babies per Second, or any of the related prevailing opinions

But now you lost me. Your hyperbolic strawman shows that you either don't understand the argument, or don't think it's worth addressing.

He did, though, by making sure post number two was his now-usual nope-a-dope. Otherwise he'd have merely been the target of a footnote that would have seemed rather petulant. And as for his point of view, I'm beginning to suspect that the only thing he still believes in is America's ideological self-segregation, because that's the only cause he seems interested in working toward.

So back to the serious subject? Washington State is hiring for camps to hold dangerous Covid peeps.

What do you think, Your Grace? Got any comment other than, "Nope"?

Quit derailing threads to attack posters. I like NCLiberty's and Damian's POV. Sometimes I disagree with them but there is no reason for your hate against those who call out The Count for derailing threads. Take you passive aggressive attacks elsewhere and quit derailing threads.

Meanwhile, TheCunt slithers away and makes fools of us. Again.

Oh, you missed the second part where Ender slaps the hand for a tag team as the count exits. He swoops in as the "peacemaker." Scolds people for not getting the count's sophisticated humor. I mean only a neanderthal wouldn't laugh at a joke about AF suffering from covid, right? But come on, I'm a funny guy. Where is some love for me, Ender?

Can you show me anywhere where I support taking choices away from people? Because the reality is quite the opposite.

I've been supporting giving people, including employers, choices. Others have been opposing that, and supporting those who take choices away from people.

Reality?

That's not very democratic of you, is it? Employees outnumber employers, so if you want to empower the maximum number of people, you give the larger group choices.

As for that reality stuff you claim to have a lock on, this overregulation fascism we have today doesn't leave employers much realistic room for choices, does it? So what separates you from Concern Trolls and Purity Trolls?

Yeah, the CIA funded the creation of fedbook and nitwitter, but disguised them as private companies, so y'all have to sacrifice free speech to be moral? This is one of those?

"Don't assume what you can't prove is absolutely true" is one thing. "Don't assume what you can't prove is true even for a minute or face the snark" is an attitude that would destroy detective work, science, mathematics, the most useful tools humanity has at our disposal.

Whatever you do, please don't start complaining about how you're treated now. It's too much like the guy who follows the engineer around all day saying, "Better not use math because nobody ever proved the additive axiom, so the whole of mathematics may be invalid," and then whines that the engineer never buys him a beer.

LOL- I'm derailing the thread....riiight.

So no comment on Washington State, just the Count, amirite?

See you are doing it again. Quick hating on others and derailing the topics.

Turns out I'm not very democratic.

As for that reality stuff you claim to have a lock on, this overregulation fascism we have today doesn't leave employers much realistic room for choices, does it? So what separates you from Concern Trolls and Purity Trolls?

Too much regulation? Better solve that... with more regulation.

Yeah, the CIA funded the creation of fedbook and nitwitter, but disguised them as private companies, so y'all have to sacrifice free speech to be moral? This is one of those?

Who is sacrificing free speech?


Also... the "X company is tied to the government therefore nationalize it" seems to be getting and more popular these days. I thought that it was supposed to be the democrats who were going to turn the country into venezuela but maybe it's a bipartisan effort.

Whatever you do, please don't start complaining about how you're treated now.

Who's complaining?
