MODERATORS
The lockdowns and subsequent vaccine drama turned a huge amount of previously assumed "liberal" new-age dumbasses into full-throated right-wing dumbasses. It was surprising to watch at first, but it makes sense when you think about it.
Is it because there's a whole ton of people who are simply selfish?
No?
It's basically just anti-academic.
If you can just invent arcane knowledge that only you know then you're smarter than everyone and can do anything you like.
That makes more sense than what I was thinking before
So selfish.
Basically the whole contingent is anti-authority, and con's were able to capitalize on that by feeding the pushback against vaccines and masks.
I believe you, but I don’t understand how. mRNA vaccines are basically magic.
*sufficiently advanced technology
thats the same.
No it isn't one has me using the blood of my enemies to paint runes for good luck on my jacket. The other requires math.
i was refering to the saying that any sufficiently advanced type of technology might as well be magic- something along the lines, i forgot.
I know but... Math...
i watched some yotubers turned to rabid magats, after all the vaccine drama+ some controversy that kickstarted it all from thier declining channel, they couldve connected with alot of POC in the community, im guess thier true colors of sucking off trump and musk was thier true value.
