See, so I am right that this is counter culture? I said this and it triggered you to jump and respond with fact checks and whatever. https://web.archive.org/web/20060212064058/https://www.merri... Can also show you that the dominant medical narrative around vaccines was that they provide immunity (except in the case of immune compromised individuals). To this day I'm actually astonished watching the entire medical co…
I suspect that the COVID-19 vaccines have not been properly tested for side effects that do not occur until many years have passed, because they did not have enough time to make these tests. (Only side effects that occur quickly would have been tested.)
I cannot comment properly about "recession" because it is not something that I am familiar with.
Not everyone's chromosomes are XX and XY, and while this usually makes you female or male sometimes there are exceptions, and then there is intersex, also. However, this is not the same as "gender identity" and "gender expression" (which I think are unnecessary, since you can just do how you like to do regardless of that; but if people want to do it anyways I do not intend to stop them, since they have freedom to do what they like), although they are usually correlated to the biological sex. Really, it isn't so simple, as they say it is (such things are like abbreviations to explain common circumstances; like an other words (in any other context, explaining about something entirely unrelated, even), they cannot possibly explain everything).
Sometimes words are not used so clearly, but that was true in the past and is true today too. Meaning of words often are shifted due to many reasons, and sometimes some meaning becomes more common than other meaning of the words. Describing clearly what you mean, would be a good idea; unfortunately, too often they instead want to avoid being offended instead of being clearly what you mean. I think that clearly what you mean is more important, although if you can also avoid being offensive at the same time then it should usually be good to do both, isn't it?
(I don't say always, because there are so many things that you cannot predict and many things can be all difference from each other. Only if you do mathematics can you potentially prove that some property of a number will be "always".)
The ability to choose is not the same as the freedom to choose (and to do what you want); you should need both. Freedom of speech definitely is important (including opposing views than each other, and also the third way, and even the fourth way and fifth way, too).
As other comment mention, also you will need freedom to think and to feel, too, as well as freedom to do something. However, just because something is freedom, you should still consider if it is a good idea or not, in this circumstances. Whatever your position is, you should be prepared to argument, whether it is a common opinion, or if it is against the common opinion, or both or neither (such consideration as both/neither is often ignored too much, I think).
Unfortunately, the Conspiracy tries to hide many things that you are trying to be freedom, and are trying to control you.
For example, many people actually were opposed to copyright (and other things, too), but the Conspiracy would not show that study (people have made such a thing, but they refused to pay for it) to others. When the Conspiracy made their own study, they would say the methods are secret. Well, the methods are secret is not the proper way to make a scientific experiment, isn't it?
Other ways this trying to change the freedom, are done includes by peer pressure, by claiming to being "offensive", etc.
However, the true freedom is not only the freedom to speak but also the freedom that others are allowed to speak against you (you can choose to listen or not).
Husband/wife/kids is not the only family, it is just one of them. Family is they are related. This includes also grandparents/aunt/uncle/siblings/etc. People who are married are usually not so closely related to each other. However, really everyone are going to be related even distantly, even the trees are your distant relatives too. And then, there is also such thing as adoptive families, and married without children, orphans, etc; so, there is many more complicated than the simplified description only.
Some protests are more or less peaceful than others, and some things that are peaceful may be protest and some aren't.
Unfortunately, many people think that, if you are good then the opposite is bad, if you are one kind of thing then the opposite is the opposite kind of thing, etc. But, that is no good. Things have to be properly considered and nuanced.
Racism is no good, but that should not mean you have to give preferential treatment to someone. It also should not mean that you have to make "diversity" hiring, etc. If you are hiring, you can hire anyone (black people, white people, men, women, Christian, Hindu, atheists, height, etc) but to do by if they are competent at that job (or can learn), and not by skin colours, etc. Depending what people are in this area, you might or might not get many black people there; but, as long as whoever they are, is good at this work, then that is good.
In some businesses (e.g. movies) it may be helpful to have many different "diversity" of people, although this still does not mean that they should not be hiring based on if you are good actors. They are good actors for movies that are needing, more importantly. However, sometimes people with specific visual appearance or voice (or other things such as languages) may be helpful for some kinds of roles in a movie, but they need not appear in every movie; they can make many different ones.
However, if they make a lot of different movies (which can actually be difference, rather than just making too many similar things) then it can hopefully be made better (although, some will be no good, but that is, you have to try).
Global warming became climate change presumably to show that there are changes other than only the heat. However, while it does that, it also fails to indicate some of the kind of changes (although, it is inevitable, unless you use too many words).
Yes, it really is difficult to communicate.
And, unfortunately, many things considered are not considered nuanced very well, either, it seems like to me too.
Generally, being clearly and precisely is good, but sometimes some things may be unnecessary, too many words, or unknown, etc, that you might indicate otherwise. Words are inherently usually not always precision. (For example, my mention of "the Conspiracy" is not precise but it is good enough for the reasons I was trying to communicate.)
And then, sometimes they think that things are same or similar things that use the same words, even though they do not match, and the words/phrases can have different meanings by the context. (One example, is word such as "Aries", "Gemini", etc are the names of constellations but also the names of astrological signs; however, constellations and astrological signs are not the same thing. Astrological signs are the measure of ecliptic longitude, each one 30 degrees. Although good arguments could be made against astrology, many people make bad arguments instead, because they do not understand what I had just mentioned.)
I don't really expect them to "redefine rented property to be yours", although it does seem likely that it will try to be hidden that it "isn't yours", in an attempt for the Conspiracy to control you in this way. In some contexts it might be useful to say it is "yours" temporarily, but that should not be confused for what it is, despite whatever word you might use; and unfortunately such confusion is common.
People can still have controversial thoughts, although often it is difficult to communicate and/or is often ignored. However, this isn't really new; it happens in the past too, but usually in different ways.
Nevertheless, freedom of speech is important, regardless of what your opinion is. Someone else must have the freedom to argue against it too, because that is also freedom of speech.
