I'm trying to prevent more problems

I applaud low brow humor but please don't kid yourself in to believing you're truly doing something to resolve what plagues our society, especially when you post shit like this. Taking care of a child with severe disabilities is probably the single most challenging, heart wrenching thing someone can do. Using pictures of kids like this does nothing for the cause. It does, however give ample reason to hate you, disregard your message and chalk you up to nothing more than an asshole.

I completely agree about the tragic challenges out there.

I completely disagree that we can't fight fire with fire and use counter-propaganda fears to fight the narrative they're forcing upon everyone - and perhaps even persuade any pregnant mothers not only to forbid masks but also to omit vaccines.

Maybe I am an asshole for posting this. I'm willing to be a mild asshole on occasion to fight the faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar greater evil that is doing untold harm to our planet and everyone on it.

Don't hate the messenger, hate the retard-makers.

...that we can't fight fire with fire and use counter-propaganda fears to fight the narrative...

We aren't above narratives. We rely on fact. Truth. It doesn't waver to accommodate your argument.

At the same time it's never beneficial to stoop, for either side. Spend your time doing good for others, supporting your countrymen, not adding fuel to shit fires.

Who's facts? Yours? Theirs? Mine? Everyone has their own facts because they have broken down the levels of discourse and credibility now so that it's all faith based - whether it's politics, scientism, or some other dogmatic belief systems. I agree truth is important, but now censorship is stopping even that. We don't need to stoop to violence, and we need not dwell in the gutter, but every now and then some fear porn of our own might help rattle some people to wake them up.

I'd agree this is not my best meme, among my worst. It was the best photo, the names already attached I could have done without. Perhaps there would have been a better way to present the same idea without the "exploitation". I couldn't think of one. I still think it has potential to affect hearts and minds, noble and/or basic.
