They've played an interesting game where they called Trump illegitimate from the beginning of his presidency, entertained the idea of flipping electors, entertained conspiracy theo…

Especially when considering transit lines.

Is it a stretch to imagine that the same country that created a news spectacle from their rocket falling back to earth uncontrolled, can't manage their bio research?

Educated about what? That it's illegal to be gay in Gaza? Solidarity with Palestine is solidarity with homophobia and transphobia as far as I can tell.

> It hasn’t ever happened once in 70 years. do you expect the government to publish photographs or something from some of the most important sites of national defense?

> 100% we’re being trolled. I have a hard time rationalizing or disproving the Malmstrom base incident, along with other stuff that's allegedly happened around nuclear facilities. …

> if there was anything else that was dismissed or treated with disdain simply because of pure contrarianism to anything with Trump-adjacency It's blindingly clear that you can (re…

This is precisely what I thought. I can't wait to see the ahistoric revisionism reacting to stuff like this, the same people that did the instant downvote brigades acting as arbite…

> He basically lets the Trump administration off the hook That's pretty loaded. Should we let the entire liberal political establishment off the hook for screaming at the top of th…

> This is also an unrepeatable experiment This frustrates any discussion about the pandemic and government response (and more broadly practically any question about govt policy & h…

> and OP started it So really you're implying both comments should be downvoted and flagged?

> You said that there would be no deaths if everyone got a Peloton. You're straw-manning here. It's recognized that obesity is a major risk factor for severe COVID illness. https:/…

Isn't this a blatantly bigoted statement? I've seen things flagged for so much less, but I suspect this will be ignored.

> seem to treat their agoraphobia with the same fervor and source of moral purity as a religion Oh yea, I'm gay and it clicked to me recently that the gay clubs I go to are basical…

Isn't this precisely the type of comment that goes against site guidelines? Curiously, because of the ideological bent of many in the SV crowd, a comment like this evades the downv…

That brings to mind "safetyism" coined in the The Coddling of the American Mind. Unsurprisingly safety is invoked in a variety of ways when certain people encounter ideas they don'…

Yea I largely agree with all the stuff you're saying. Regarding Trump though, I think he did do himself a massive disservice giving space to people like Fauci and Bolton. Although,…

Yea I think back to generations past, where you'd find yourself being sent to Normandy or something or stationed on a ship that just got hit by a torpedo. Chance of death - >>1%. N…

It's sad that medical advice offers little to people, effectively waiting until people are suffocating to rush them to the hospital. There's something seriously broken about how pe…

This is an intersection of so many things: politics (outsourcing your judgment to your enemy and effectively just doing the opposite of them), brain-structure propensity for fear, …

They've been so circumspect about their advice, their advice is practically useless and even worse: induces society-wide agoraphobia and fear. This does not come without consequenc…

Under a critical reading, the idea that "the world is neurotypical" is useful to say for someone who wants to gain power in the world by problematizing society and prescribing thei…

DEI is so obviously demagoguery and in practice the groups that profess it resemble a religion or cult. Unsurprisingly the organizations that spearhead it are communists set on see…
