Misinformation about vaccines and lies about the Covid virus was asked to be removed. I think Facebook/meta helped kill many right wingers because of these lying memes.

Republicans want to be able to lie on these platforms. And they love the uneducated. I know someone who died believing their lies. I know another who ended up in the hospital because of these lies. She almost died. And now has a hospital bill she can't pay.

Stop voting for republicans, they don't want to help you. They have no policies but cut taxes on the rich and hating on people.

    I'm really conflicted here. If conservatives insist on killing themselves by being anti-science, I should support their right to die as they insist.

    But I don't support their burden on shared resources (hospitals) on their way out. So many people who don't subscribe to those conspiracy theorist views died as collateral damage during the pandemic because the hospitals didn't have the resources to support all of their usual burdens plus the wave of COVID-ill vaccine deniers.

    Let people opt out of services for a very small tax incentive, it will be hilarious schadenfreude.

    No no no no no nope not even as a joke.

    If you can financially gain from opting out, very poor people will have no choice but to opt out and risk it. Proven time and time again. People should not be allowed to waive their rights for petty personal gains. Your rights are unwaivable, that's what makes them rights.

    Your rights are absolutely able to be waived, they just can't be taken away. It's a subtle but meaningful difference.
