I would like to have a very polite debate with some Democrats on patrick.net.

By polite, I mean refraining from attacking the person in either direction, but sticking to points of argument instead. So no "You are a (whatever)" will not be allowed. The only appropriate use of "you" will be "Here you said..."

I just ran into an old guy in a cafe who pointed in the newspaper to the governor results in California, which added up to 110%. I said, "well, that's California" and so he accused me of being an "election denier". I asked if he'd seen "2000 Mules" and he said he hadn't "because it's been debunked". Uh, it's the same people who committed the election fraud who are claiming that "2000 Mules" was debunked.

Nor had he heard what was on Hunter's laptop, since he watches only corporate news.

I think I might have made a dent in his wall of denial, and I'd like to try with others.

While I agree with you that no one should be strapped down and forced to get an injection they dont want


Thanks.

I actually bought a gun when it looked like Pfizer had convinced the government to go to go door to door and physically force the experimental injection. I would have shot back at anyone attempting to physically force an injection on me, and I think everyone should do the same. I was inspired by a video of an old black man who said the same thing, remembering what happened at Tuskegee.

DeficitHawk says


I DO believe that there is room in society for injections as a condition of entry into certain employers/schools and locations where communicable disease may be likely to transmit.


We strongly disagree on that, though at one point I would have agreed with you. My thinking changed when this nightmare started. I had not realized that the CDC, FDA, and NIH are so completely captured by Pfizer that it is suicidal to ever trust them again.

DeficitHawk says


MMR shots for school kids to attend a school.


I'm strongly opposed to it's being a requirement, instead preferring for parents to be able to make their own decisions about their children without punishment for disagreeing with now obviously corrupt government agencies.

DeficitHawk says


decisions made by elected officials/lawmakers who can be voted out if we want change


I no longer believe that most public officials make decisions in the public interest at all. Nor do I believe they can be voted out in most cases. The worst ones are not even elected, like Pfauci.

think people who do it should be hung or shot


Yes, as concluded at the Nuremberg trials.

DeficitHawk says


I think we would still have polio endemic in this country if we adopted your position.


I don't think so. I think if people were given the free choice of whether to take any injection and could have faith in our government institutions, they would choose safe vaccines in the long run, as the data came out.

The problems are in eliminating freedom to choose and in the spectacular demonstration of incompetence and corruption in the government.
241   DeficitHawk   2022 Nov 13, 12:22am  

Patrick, on the one hand, I want to say "agree to disagree" on this.

But there is one thing that I cant agree to disagree. and that is the hanging and shooting.

The fact is that today, there is no constitutional protection in the bill of rights saying you cant have vaccines as a requirement to go to school (or work). And vaccines in schools has been the standard for many years. DPT, MMR, theres a few others we all got when we were kids. used to be polio but not anymore since it has been nearly eradicated.

So, since school vaccine requirements have been the norm for a long time, and there is no constitutional prohibition, and elected officials have been setting those requirements for a long time, I just cant abide that you would advocate violence against those people. Our recourse here is voting, not violence. If you have lost faith that you can vote people out of office, maybe you should accept that it is because you have an extreme position that most people don't agree with, and not advocate violence just because you cant win at the ballot box. If you have extreme positions that most people dont agree with, you may have to accept some inconveniences to allow you to do things how you want... you may need to move to a particular school district or use a special private school that doesnt have such requirements.

Thats my beef with your position. Everything else I am prepared to say 'agree to disagree' and allow different opinions to coexist.

There are opt outs for vaccines in most states, and thus, de facto the country.

Cali, New York, and WV are exceptions to vaccine opt outs on religious grounds, which are near universal. In fact Commiefornia is the lone state that disallows vaccine exemptions under any circumstances, except narrow medical ones that require repeated renewal and doctor's testimony.

It's clear the mRNA experimental therapy was minimally effective at best, and public health officials must apologize publicly or be fired and put on a blacklist from future federal employment OR grants (ie any program that hires them will lose their federal money).

It's one thing to be an bossy asshole who is right, another thing to be a bossy asshole who turned out to be wrong, when holding a position of public trust.

And then there's masking, which Fauci himself wrote an email in February 2020 saying it was ineffective against Respiratory Viruses - and all studies on masking against respiratory viruses show little to no and sometimes adverse effect. That one was complete security theater that must be punished: the 'experts' knew it was ineffective but did it for power/political purposes.

OK. Honestly I dont see this really going anywhere, because we dont agree on even basic facts.

That is what I said in another thread. Big data and big media have successfully created an alternate reality where in conservatives are liars who believe lies and only liberal Democrats have a true narrative.

Liberals live in an alternate reality wherein it is not tolerated to consider any information that does not fit the narrative.

In reality there was more fraud in the 2020 election than ever before. So they create an alternate narrative so people don’t realize how giant the fraud is we have government experts tell the pleasing lie that 2020 was the most secure election ever. (Never mind the mules, never mind the dead people voting, never mind the thousands of votes found in the dead of night, never mind the mail in ballots, never mind the fact that Biden didn’t even campaign like he was running for office let alone the presidency, never mind the FBI telling facebook, Twitter and big media not to publish the Hunter Biden laptop evidence that incriminates the Biden family)

PeopleUnited says


With data analytics and all the resources available to big tech and big media have we reached the day and age where the powers that be can steal an election not just by stuffing ballot boxes but by simply manipulating people to vote in a predetermined fashion? That is perhaps where we are today. In the big cities where analytics and liberal philosophy are the most prolific and effective there is nary a conservative voice. They have succeeded in convincing a sizable minority even in traditionally red states that things like the bill of rights are antiquated and irrelevant. The slow grind of manipulating the way people think starts at birth and continues life long. Computer and phone logs, listening in on phones and smart devices etc.. has given them access to understand and manipulate people in ways they don’t even perceive or understand themselves.

A few break free from the matrix but they tend to get wrapped up in the diversions and lunacy of Alex Jones and ot...

Besides a flu shot or Covid jab, I've taken all vaccines that were suggested. I think you're missing the point. I don't think there's a user here that is anti ALL vaccines. THIS vaccine doesn't work. There is not enough data on it, but enough to show it doesn't work. Vaccines take years to develop. Sometimes a decade. At least for it to be safe and no side effects. THIS vaccine has known side effects that I've witnessed more than people dropping dead from Covid.

And be honest about your coworker that supposedly died. Were they fat? Old? Diabetic? Lupus? Closet alcoholic? Pill popper? Just because you know someone that died, doesn't mean Covid caused it. You'd be surprised about the secrets and lifestyles people have...

It is fact though the same guy that fucked up the AIDS response is/was lead on Covid response. Flip flopped like a fish out of water. If you can't agree to agree on that, than I don't think your intentions are honest to have a conversation with regards to Covid at least. 15 day to stop the spread??? The fuck. I don't need to go to Harvard or some Ivy league school to realize how dumb that is for an airborne virus.

It may be constructive for us to talk about where we get our information, and how we vet it. We may not agree who's realty is the alternate one.

I tend to get my information from online print sources. Reuters is usually my first stop news webpage. And then search up more deep dive information using google. Such as those double blind vaccine studies. I dont regularly watch TV news. US TV news networks I think have become echo chambers like this forum, with FOX echoing the right and CNN the left. I think its a fundamental problem with 24 hour news.... theres only 30 minutes of news, so what do you do with the rest of the day? Commentary.... and then the viewership sorts itself into groups based on which commentary pleases their ears according to their worldview.

@DeficitHawk

I'm not talking about lynch mobs. I think there should be military tribunals for those who forced the unknown effects of THIS vaxx on billions of people, the same way the Nuremberg trials were run. The Nazis were not violating Nazi laws (well, maybe they were). The point is that they were violating fundamental human rights on a mass scale.

As for shooting, I'm just saying that the 2nd Amendment exists precisely in order to stop the government from doing this kind of thing to innocent citizens.

It's as if the entire world were forced to take a new kind of very profitable Thalidomide to just see what happens, and to make money for Pfizer.

What I can't understand is how you could possibly think this is OK in any universe.

Okay, so you're okay being forced to do something that you have no clue the end result? That's what you're saying. I'm okay with mandating the polio vaccine. It has been proven. ALL Covid vaccines literally don't work. It should not be a requirement of employment or getting an education. That's full retard thinking. And I know Patrick asked to be polite, but at some point lying or not looking at facts matters.

I liked Trump. He fucked this up. It's okay to own up when you have a wrong opinion or knowledge. THIS vaccine is shit. Prove otherwise. No one here is claiming small pox or polio vaccine don't work. It's fact you actually DON'T have to take them for a job or to go to school. Covid mandates are a new thing. Take the blinders off buddy.

Right, after this Nazi-level nightmare, I'm strongly opposed to all vaccine MANDATES. I had not really thought about the human rights aspect of mandated injections until the problem was forced on us all.

What is truly shocking is how willing the majority of people are to trust an obviously incompetent (Biden) and corrupt (Fauci) government with their lives at the drop of a hat. "BE AFRAID" says the government. "Where are the cattle cars for us to get on so that you can take us to the safe concentration camps?" say those people in response, all in unison.

It's seriously the creepiest thing I ever saw in my life, by an order of magnitude.

If you want to know how anyone would have behaved in Nazi times, now you know. People you thought were rational would have pushed you onto the cattle car and then gotten on themselves, blindly trusting that those "showers" were actually showers and not gas chambers.

Well, we've already established that both you and I didnt want COVID vaccine mandates, for similar reasons. Where we differ is in how we respond to the fact that we were overruled by the officials who made those decisions. You want to hang them because you think it was outside of their authority and a crime against humanity. I disagree, because I think vaccine mandates ARE within their authority, and its a judgement call on a case by case basis based severity/efficacy/safety.... so while I disagree with the call they made, I dont think its a crime and I dont think there should be tribunals.

I do not agree with your narrative that the whole thing was cooked up to sell pfizer vaccines. (actually I got the J&J one which was not mrna type.. those were available too). I think people wanted a vaccine to help reduce very real death rates that people were really scared by. And when the vaccines became available, the same authorities who decide about Measles/Mumps/Rubella had yet another decision to make, and they made their decision. Maybe I would have decided differently, but there you have it. Its not a nooses and pitchforks kind of thing. Its not a tribunals kind of thing. Its a voting thing if you care about it, and a non-issue if you dont.

In most cases there was some (somewhat inconvenient) opt out. My work had no mandate, and had options for people who didnt vaccinate or didnt want to reveal status, but they had some work from home and additional isolation requirements for non-status-disclosed people. Its not like some stormtroopers came and forced everyone to get a shot.

I agree with the 2nd amendment being the ultimate backdrop for tyrannical government. But this is not tyranny. We just have a minority opinion on this matter and got overruled by the majority. IF we resort to armed rebellion every time we lose a popular vote, or elected official makes a decision we dont like, then there would be lots of war and its not a situation I'd want to live in.

There are no mandates besides Covid. This is a new thing. You've always been able to go to public school without vaccines. Never in my life have I heard of people being required to have a vaccine for employment. It's all bull shit that people are trying to normalize and lie to you.

I get illegal drug like heroin. But you cannot force me to put something in my body to work a job. If we're going down that rabbit hole I'm going to force you to pay me $2M a year and I get to kill and smoke your first born child. Let's just make shit up at this point.

@DeficitHawk Do you see any limit at all to that authority?

Do you see any problem with waiting years while the injections happen before attempting to vote out people who were not elected in the first place, like Fauci? Fauci may not even be able to be fired at all by the president.

The stormtroopers coming to forcibly inject me even if I already opted out of attending the school/workplace that set the vaccine-for-entry requirement. That would be the limit where I crack open my gun safe.

We can't keep an honest democrat here because the cognitive dissonance is overwhelming. To accept the facts of what is going on would make a person not trust the news, the government, and doctors. Obeisance to authority will not allow that and the typical democrat covers their ears and goes "nananana" because the truth is too painful.

8 mice and no humans would definitely have raised my concern level over safety to the point I didnt want my kids to get it.

If I had serious doubts about the safety of vaccines for my kids, my reaction would have been to resort to remote school or find a different school, and it would have gone to the top of my issues list at the election.

Still I wouldn't be advocating to shoot or hang anyone. Stormtroopers is a different thing entirely.

My employer did not require vaccines. Although there were some additional isolation and testing requirements placed on those who did not vaccinate or chose not to reveal their vaccination status in the event of known exposures etc.

It wasnt 'take the jab or you cant work'. Maybe some places it was 'take the jab or you cant work here'. Plenty of employers did not have any such requirement. And many places having various opt out schemes involving testing/isolation.

265   DeficitHawk   2022 Nov 13, 11:08am  

Actually the school district my kids attend has an opt out provision involving routine testing.

Im in the Bay Area of California, bluest of the blue regions, and my kids have opt out if we want it.

I think the overall narrative of stormtroopers making everyone get vaccinated is frankly overdone. Its not really like that. but I do not dispute that there are some employers and probably schools that dont have an opt out, and some people got fired for refusing to vaccinate.

I guess my take on this all is that if you have a minority view on things like this, you will sometimes be forced to endure some inconvenience by the majority. It is part of democracy. You will be impacted negatively by decisions people make that you dont agree with. But that's part of living in a society, and you dont always get your way. You shouldnt resort to pitchforks, rifles, and nooses every time that happens. You can conform to the requirements even if you dont like it, you can move to where you can have your way, you can adapt with some level inconvenience... and of course you can vote to change the local leadership.

Ill say something provocative: This forum has become an echo chamber for people who have minority opinions and keep getting beat in elections, so they imagine that the world has it out for them and everyone is cheating so they cant win. They invent a conspiracy to explain every decision they dont like or dont agree with. They refuse to accept the truth that they dont win because they are the minority position in a representative democracy.

I read this forum regularly... partly because I like the funny pictures thread... partly because I like the real estate discussions... and partly because I want to maintain an understanding of the perspective of people within this echo chamber. But I have to tell you, even if 98% of people inside of this echo chamber agree with each other... this echo chamber represents a minority viewpoint of the US population at large. You might ask yourselves why the forum became such that the vast majority of people who participate here are ones to agree to a minority view... why dont others participate? Why are this cross section of people drawn to this site?

It's not like that at the moment, but it definitely lurched that way dramatically as Biden's inflammatory rhetoric escalated, with the "pandemic of the unvaccinated" lie and the "winter of disease and death" lie, and the truly Nazi-like labelling of dissenting people and the institution of official discrimination against them. Holocaust survivors noted the uncanny similarity of Democratic policy to early Nazi policies:

Your children may die from the vaccine. You don't know what will happen because there is literally no long-term safety data. That's a rather large negative impact, and not within the rights of anyone to impose on you.

DeficitHawk says

Not every time, THIS one time. The vaxx mandates are the worst crime against the largest number of people ever committed. It is THE moral issue which divides the people who would collaborate with genocide from those who would resist genocide.

It's Jim Jones kind of stuff here, the difference between people who drink the kool aid and those who see just how insane it is to drink it.

people who have minority opinions and keep getting beat in elections


The total popular House vote was majority Republican. That's not minority.

The election of Trump was not getting beat. Not that I'm much of a Trump fan, but his historic win in 2016 energized a lot of people who have been harmed for decades by, for example, the outsourcing of US manufacturing to China.

My provocative counter-theory is that the Democrats are barely-concealed fascists, perfectly willing to violate freedom of speech, the 2nd amendment, voting integrity, and all other rights, using lame excuses like the eternal "state of emergency" as long as it keeps them in power.

I think the real psychological reason that a lot of Democrats went along with utterly unethical mandates of a dangerous and ineffective experiment is that they were actually willing to risk death as long as they could impose their will on Republicans.

change through voting


Can change through voting ever remove unelected "health" officials? How would that happen if they are immune from firing by the executive branch? I'm not saying it's completely impossible, but that there is no clear path on how to fire someone like Fauci quickly when he starts killing people with the vaxx, ventilators, Remdesivir, suppression of ivermectin, etc.

Fauci is in control of a vast amount of funding for scientific research, so there is little willingness among scientists to stand up and speak out. The official scientific "evidence" will always be on the side of the people funding the creation of that "evidence".

And then there's the timing issue. Do you wait years for an election as people are killed by Fauci's policies, knowing that whoever is elected probably cannot touch Fauci anyway?

I will offer you a different explanation. Most mainstreamers and democrats have seen a few unfounded conspiracy theories coming from echo chambers like this, and attempts to engage in discussion result in impasse and inability to agree on basic facts. I was at that point of hopelessness earlier in this thread myself. So what to do? simple, dismiss the entire crowd as tinfoil hat folks and dont bother talking to them. Certainly several people on this thread advocated the same course of action regarding discussions with me!. I am certain if I told my leftie friends that I was having conversations on this thread they'd tell me I am wasting my time with loonies.

The true answer here is mainstreamers and democrats have dismissed you as crazy just as this community has dismissed mainstream community as crazy.

I really think you should deeply consider that this is the main factor if you want to improve the situation.

The total popular House vote was majority Republican. That's not minority.

The election of Trump was not getting beat. Not that I'm much of a Trump fan, but his historic win in 2016 energized a lot of people who have been harmed for decades by, for example, the outsourcing of US manufacturing to China.


Thats fine. Win some lose some. I am not questioning the results, and I am not getting out my microscope to look for anomalies. But Patrick, tell me... how many hours have you and the others on this thread spent pouring over election result anomalies in the republican house wins? Is it the same as the Trump loss?

I do not mean that "people who vote republican" are a minority. Thats close to half and half or maybe only slight minorty. The minority positions I mean are:

"Trump Won" (Most people dont believe this, maybe 30%)
"Covid was a hoax or conspiracy" (Most people do not believe this. maybe 25%)

change through voting


Can change through voting ever remove unelected "health" officials? How would that happen if they are immune from firing by the executive branch? I'm not saying it's completely impossible, but that there is no clear path on how to fire someone like Fauci quickly



How is "Dr" Fuckyouchi immune from the firing by the President? I believe the fucker could be fired at any second.


I recall articles calling for the power of the president to fire anyone in the executive branch, implying that that power does not exist, especially with respect to Fauci.

The president can fire political appointees, but not civil servants.

I have a simple question. If everyone you know who got the vaxx died, but the government kept denying it, would you still stick to voting alone as a way to oppose the vaxx?

I want to know what it would take to turn you into me.

I tried to converse with a democrat last year on several topics and all I heard was "this was debunked" and "already debunked" offering no explanation only emotion. I guess if they all have their abortions there will be less of these idiots around to put the country into ruin.
