we need to rethink all those vaccines too

all those vaccines may not have killed you but who knows if you'd be stronger, have a higher IQ, saner, if not for all of that?

zeitgeist wasn't just abpout 9/11. But do you also trust the mainstrad view on 9/11? That's fine I guess since believing it isn't as detrimental to society as the covid conspiracy. We lost rights due to the patriot act but not as much as we are losing now.

I don't know, but I could also be dead from some tetanus bacteria as well if I didn't get the vaccine. I don't think I'm super smart and whatnot, but I don't think I'm below 100 IQ either; got a college degree, got an okay job, learned a second language fairly well to debate strangers on the internet ;) I'm no rocket scientist but I don't think it's that bad.

zeitgeist wasn't just abpout 9/11.

Yeah it was about a lot of things, religion for example, and I conveniently didn't believe that at the young age when I watched it since I was still a theist then lol.

But do you also trust the mainstrad view on 9/11?

I don't really hold any conspiratory beliefs on this topic. It was a tragedy, many people lost their lives, terrible thing.

We lost rights due to the patriot act but not as much as we are losing now.

Not that educated on the subject, but at least flying is much safer now, no?

it's a balance, and requires trust. you don't know, maybe you would have died of tetanus maybe not. Maybe the threat of tetanus was overblown all those years ago. Maybe it decreased because people became cleaner, it's bacteria in feces and if you live around a lot of shit and breath it in you might catch it, so indoor plumbing is important and cleaning the toilet.

You didn't believe it about religion, fair, one of the things I disagree with is that jesus was made up and it's all zodiac symbolism. I think there is truth to that but Jesus existed and they made up stuff about him later to help gain followers from pagans. Still tho the gist of it is right.

If you trust the mainstream on 9/11, I don't know what to tell you, you probably can't be convinced. That one is just obvious.

Yeah so we have to wait a bit longer in line at the airport, I suppose that is annoying but not the end of the world. The loss of freedoms with covid are worse. Having to wear a mask all day, a constant reminder of our servitude, is worse. Starting to become we can't get a job or go to businesses if not vaccinated. You can see an acceleration so what might be next? It is good to fight this and stop it now, and also go back and restore rights. Since 9/11 was a false flag we really don't need the patriot act and to have the TSA, so we should reverse that. I suppose it's not a high priority but still we should be going in the direction of more rights, not less, that is my basic phliosophy.

I think that the bacteria is pretty much omnipresent - I think that if you puncture your skin in stick it into the ground, you could get it. And according to Wikipedia the untreated infection has very awful consequences (painful death).

If you trust the mainstream on 9/11, I don't know what to tell you, you probably can't be convinced. That one is just obvious.

I mean I really have no reason to question the "official narrative". I'd find it bizarre if a country like the US, the bastion of freedom and whatnot, committed a terrorist attack against its own citizens. Doesn't that require some wild imagination? Same with things like the Moon landing. No reason to doubt it.

Having to wear a mask all day, a constant reminder of our servitude, is worse.

Didn't doctors/nurses wear them all day on the job before Covid? The only thing it's gonna hurt is your pride if you think that highly of yourself I think.

Starting to become we can't get a job or go to businesses if not vaccinated.

Well yeah that is kind of worrisome, but on the other hand, we are during a pandemic right now. Do you think the Spanish flu 100 years ago was also some kind of scheme the elites tried to pull? I don't think it's gonna be that bad. Some woke companies might require people to get vaccinated, but there will be many others where they won't, and after some time this whole thing will be hopefully over.

I'm not trying to downplay your concerns about individual freedoms, since mandatory vaccination is a bad idea, but masks/respirators hurt no one I think.

Not unless they're in an environment where sterile procedures are used, or a few other situations. Can you think of a time when a nurse or lab tech performed an invasive procedure, even more lightly invasive-- like taking blood for labs, where they wore masks before Covid? Vinyl or latex gloves are used with damn near everything, not masks.

[–]neomarxist_bullshit[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Sure. But people like dentists do wear them pretty much all the time because that's how it's done. At least here where I live. Not a big deal I think. I'm not that bothered by the mask/respirator when I wear it either. (though I agree it might be annoying to wear it all day)

Yeah, because they're hovering directly over a gaping open mucous membrane. A) they don't want to potentially get any sort of nasty shit that flings off of the teeth during cleaning in their eyes or mouth. B) they don't want to potentially spread something to their patients by breathing right all up in there.

You are basing your belief on the microbe theory of medicine, which is false. Even Pasteur himself admitted at the end of his life that he had been wrong all along and that he was a failur, the terrain theory of medicine being the correct one. Which is why Big Pharma uses the microbe theory: more money in that.

Well yeah? To be honest I had no idea people have an issue it and had to google this lol. Guess you learn new things every day.

tldr but one last thing, your name isn't bullshit

I could image some despotic country like the communist USSR to do it, after all Stalin tried to genocide the Ukrainians. Not saying it's impossible, I'd just find it odd if a democratic government, especially the US as a country that flaunts democratic principles etc., tried to pull something similar on it's own citizens.

You get X-rayed every time you board a plane, to the point well beyond where hospitals would stop x-raying you if it came to that, out of health reasons.

You don't believe a group of moslems conspired to crash airplanes into significant American buildings?

I'm curious to hear how you explain that event.

[–]neomarxist_bullshit[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I mean I do believe that's what could have happened, wanted to say that I don't look for some "alternate explanations". (English is not my first language so I might not get all the subtleties right.)
