Yeah I remember when right wing assholes showed their true colors and refused to do the bare minimum like wear masks like the rest of us so in order to reduce the spread local government had to put in place common sense restrictions.
Conspiracy clowns who are afraid of a vaccine that's already in millions of arms.
You're not a hypocrite, just a sucker. You can fool some of the ppl all of the time and those ppl are usually right wing Americans.
And I remember when left-wing assholes showed their true colors when they forced their families to stay isolated from each other, destroying everyone's mental health, causing developmental delays in children, causing suicide, murder and domestic violence rates to skyrocket; completely fucking ignoring and dismissing the ADA and HIPAA; imprisoning people in their houses for years on end; cheering when people who opposed them died of covid; blatant mass censorship of their cruelty; massive police crackdowns where entire populations who protested were beaten down and the left cheered for the exact same cops and evil cop behavior they claim to hate; how the stupid fucking Australian government used the lockdowns as an excuse to empty out entire towns of Aborigine peoples to throw them in literal concentration camps out by Darwin while the left claims to care about racism; the complete lack of respect for human rights; and in general showing that the left is nothing but a bunch of emotional hypocrites just as the right frames them to be.
I remember the lockdowns well.
And dumbass people on the left think they can pretend none of it ever happened, but you can't. The lockdowns' effects are everywhere: the inflation spike we've all seen, the trillions of dollars corporations stole that would never have been possible without the lockdowns -- trillions corporations are using to buy up all the houses and land imposing a new feudalism on the American people and denying them their right to home ownership, the deaths of despair that are still high and still happening, how schoolkids lost on average a third of a school year of learning and how kids born during covid are struggling to catch up.
And most importantly, how the dumb fuck left enabled the rise of the fucking alt-right into mainstream politics, justifying the right by supporting and defending something so insane, and now when you see Nazis marching down your streets and they laugh at, make fun of and dismiss you when you call them out on it. Who would take seriously your moral claims after you've done something so monstrous?
Honestly. You're fucking horrific monsters. And you wonder why dumb fuck centrists call you out for being just as bad as the right. ๐คฆ
Thanks for proving my point, though. Only if humanity really was mostly monstrous would your only refutation be about the lockdowns -- and you defending monstrous behavior -- instead of addressing my main claims in any real meaningful way.
You know you did wrong and you just don't want to feel bad about it.
You know you can't recover from death right?
You know you can't use your fear of death to justify atrocities, right? Isn't that what you believe, that some things are wrong regardless of the outcome? Isn't that you tell rape victims when they demand justice or revenge when your system refuses to do anything about their attackers, or domestic violence victims when you imprison them for killing their abusers? You know, the same crimes you enabled and sent soaring through the roof because of your actions?
You think those dead victims benefitted from the lockdowns? You think their lives were a suitable sacrifice for yours? You think the right wing is going to take you seriously when you talk about life or death or justice, knowing what you did? You think they aren't emboldened enough now after protesting you to kill millions of us? You think you didn't just cause more to die in more obscene and brutal ways because you chose selfishness over righteousness? You think you have the right to subvert everything and everyone just to save yourself?
You really think that's how morality works? Because let me tell you, it doesn't.
You know you are goin full Qanon right?
You know that some people on the left also opposed the lockdowns and that it's not and wasn't all right wingers, don't you? r/lockdowncriticalleft ring a bell?
Or do you think you can weasel your way out of taking responsibility for serious moral crimes against humanity as a whole with blatant shit smearing?
You understand what you did is wrong regardless of who is telling you, right? Even if I was some Trumptard dipshit, I would still be right, because the litany of horrific shit you pulled for the first two years of this decade is still wrong on its face. If it was them doing it, you'd have gone to war and attempted to overthrow the government over it.
Nice job proving that most humans are shit, though. That's absolutely a move a shit human would pull.
Oh cool, so you are just slinging false accusations and alienating people who might be an ally, but because you have a grievance with people who aren't ideologically lock step with you are they are somehow the scum of the earth.
Cheers fuckwad.
Or maybe, just maybe, what you did was wrong and you're too immature to own up to it.
Keep being shit, though. I'm sure that's gonna inspire a lot of faith in humanity.
