Most people that use the BLM name and phrase pretty much have never heard of the incorporated BLM organization that lives rent free in conservative's minds. Just something that I've noticed is a bit of a disconnect. People typically are wanting to bring attention into lack of oversight in policing practices, which would benefit all. There is an organization of the same name that has some truly strange and unrelated d…

Public health “experts” have done very little to quell fearful vaccinated people. In my opinion some of the worst anti-vaxx propaganda comes right from these health departments.

> They aren't against the vaccine, they are against the mandate! It makes no sense, but the amount of people who conflate the two is shockingly high. I guess strawmans are easier to argue against than someone who holds nuanced views. edit: one such example of someone who conflates the two https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30225017

It doesn’t help that they intentionally conflate the two issues by defining “anti-vaxxer” as anyone who “opposes regulations mandating vaccination”. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anti-vaxxer
