LOL thats what they say, someone actually said that to me when I praised the vaccine on a youtube comment, they said the news has me scared. the ironic thing is it is them gobbling up the news, 80% of the youtube comments on Canadian Covid news stories are anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, who claim to hate the news, and the like/dislike ratio paints the same picture, the covid news stories will have like a 100 likes and like 1000 dislikes, so whos watching the news scared? not me
I swear, I basically didnt pass highschool, and these people seem dumb to me, maybe its just emotion blocking thier judgment
im even prone to believing in conspiracy theories, I believe big food controls what we eat through creating the food pyramid, I believe cellphones are surveillance devices and I have never owned one but I dont see how a pandemic is a conspiracy
though I rather get the pfizer vaccine then the moderna one, I think Gates gets some of the profits from the moderna one, and he was incredibly sketchy running microsoft, so what ever he is doing is probably sketchy now

I honestly think most people just don't want Bill Gates involved with medicine, then they conflate/extrapolate that fear over onto all modern medicine, lol.

Hahaha I was all qued up to say amen to this thread. I personally stopped listening to NPR (my only news outlet) back in June because the information seemed to be way too inconsistent and it did come across like fear mongering. Taking only a first hand perspective on everything going on there is a lot of control happening. Feels very much like we're being manipulated. I'm not about to shit talk at people who think masks keep them safe though. People too proud of thier opinions exsaserbate the social division. Like with any conspiracy theory just follow the money.

It's legit scary and it's not only America or Canada. People here in Europe are the same. It reminds me of a schizophrenic person who's always telling people how the government is "trying to control him".

Well maybe giving disconnection from the pixel world a try is a worthy experiment everyone should consider? I do miss when people based thier perspective around thier own physical world rather than regurgitating things they see on the internet so religiously . Not even just covid I've felt this way for a few years. Being someone with no online presence other than shroomery and having never owned a TV I have noticed a lot of odd behavior out of people in recent years.

Canadian news stories about Covid deaths on Facebook have numerous laugh reacts, and you ask someone what is funny about a covid death they say they are laughing because it's a fake story. A lot of this shit I blame Trump for. The media is not lying about Covid.
The other side seems very coordinated, like a story pops up and 2 minutes later there are 100 anti mask / virus denial /anti vax comments. Probably Russians. You can't win the fight by debating them as there are way too many. I just troll the few real humans with memes

I'm banned from FB for a month for"bullying" these people and had to wish everyone happy Christmas from my cracked out fake profile that sounds kinds like my real name so my friends know who it is. Like you can't even suggest the police in Calgary shoot the lockdown protesters, you get banned for it. But the anti pipeline protesters last year or BLM marches last summer people were suggesting running them over and FB ignored it.
Twitter is even worse I can't get another account there unless I change my phone number, the other side claims to love free speech but snitches on their enemies first chance they get. Fucking snowflakes.

Blaming TV or the internet is like blaming roads for traffic accidents.

MSNBC is owned by Comcast. It was originally owned by a joint venture of Microsoft and General Electric.

Cable media is a reliable way for corporate investors to park debt instead of pay taxes, all the money that wouldve gone to taxes, is now propaganda that feeds all their investments... down to the pundit they choose.
