Remember.

Say something. Never admit being wrong. Say something else. Don't acknowledge. Say more things. Pivot. Mock and move on. And whatever you do don't waste your time reading because that's not the point. I'd recommend very strongly reading Lemmie's link to the Art of Trolling:

...Trolls are usually never initiators of a new semantic trend of communication. Conversely, they normally respond, parasitically, to a fragment of discourse that has been created by someone else.... trolls do not initiate discourse but respond to it for the simple reason that they do not care about any particular semantic focus. They are not interested in what they write about; they are interested in the cognitive, emotional, and pragmatic reactions that they can obtain....

I'd suggest 'jenius is actually too dumb to understand what he's doing, but a useful idiot is still an idiot and useful.

Sometimes I wonder about how the veneer of Civilization. How deep does it go? During the Black Plague, people burned Jews and posioned their wells. Now we're much more advanced. We threaten the lives of public health officials during a Pandemic.
NBC wrote:An Idaho public health meeting ended abruptly Tuesday evening after protesters converged around the city’s health department building and outside the homes of multiple health officials.

The Central District Health meeting in Boise, Idaho, where members were expected to discuss a Covid-19 health order, ended just 15 minutes into the agenda due to safety concerns related to the protests, various city officials said. A photographer with NBC News affiliate KTVB on the scene outside the health department estimated there were several hundred protesters present, most of whom were not wearing masks.

Idaho is one of many states in which government efforts to institute pandemic mitigation measures have been met with protests, but it's unclear how widespread those sentiments are. A Pew Research Center survey from August found that 69 percent of Americans thought governments had lifted outbreak restrictions too quickly.

But public opinion polls have also found deep divisions between Republicans and Democrats on the government pandemic response. Almost 64 percent of Idahoans voted for President Donald Trump in the Nov. 3 election, making it one of the reddest states in the country.

Tuesday's protests were organized in part by People's Rights, a group created by Ammon Bundy, an anti-government activist and an outspoken opponent of mask mandates during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to The Associated Press. Members of the anti-vaccination group Health Freedom Idaho also reportedly attended the protest.

lol. pre-existing condition of being mortal.

On my walk yesterday, I was talking to my usual right-wing friend. We were interrupted by this lady (who we've heard is anti-mask but never talked about it) who overheard us talking about the vaccine. My friend has his insanity limits, his EV church is pro-mask and he's hoping to get rich off of PFE, and so he's super excited about the vaccine. This lady went into a lecture about the vaccine can't be trusted and rattled off a list of vaccines from history that supposedly hurt people. Then she went into a rant about how science is politicized that was about DCP level anti-science, but then went down insanity hole, said that she feels like she's in the twilight zone with all these people around who trust authority. She got a big smile on her face and told us it was obvious that sunlight and zinc is the best vaccine for any virus.

I want to believe that people like this will be pruned from humanity through their own stupidity, and we'll all be better off, but the problem is that we're a society, and cunts like this are contagious and will make innocent people sick.

damned stupid cunt.
