You can see how her eyebrows raise when the other woman says "masks"

Lol, yeah they don't come back down either. hahaha

lol, I just realized it cuts off with the interviewer saying, "Seeing their FULL Face..."

"I love you all, so don't be shut-ins, stop embarrassing leftism, and go out and kiss a stranger." covid-cool smuglord covid-cool

Seems like a deliberate attempt to manufacture consent for the purported end of the pandemic in front of millions of viewers on national TV. I know I'm just stating the obvious, but wouldn't want to remind people about how thousands of people are still dying from COVID in the US in the most recent weeks or how 800,000 people have officially died from COVID under the Biden administration (which the Biden admin continually tries to attribute to the Trump admin when they're both complicit).

I mean the overwhelming majority of people (including most leftists) already treat it as over, but ya know.

If the world make sense, this would bolster socialism’s case, but they’ll just increase the absurd death toll accordingly

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Like how can you possibly argue that you don’t want socialism solely because of the deaths it may or may not cause when we have a perfect example of an economic logic that kills as a rule

10000-com totally. There was nothing off the cuff about that question. It was planned with communicating a specific intention.

idk, basically everyone stopped taking covid seriously at some point in 2020/2021. do we really need to manufacture consent for this? I think it's just more bragging to get a W since the Democrats don't exactly have very many of those going into this election cycle.

The soviet union collapsed 36 years ago and they are still manufacturing consent about it.

Gonna need COVID to start killing people who deserve it much faster.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

what sucks is most of the people who deserve it there have the money to be fine if they catch covid but they'll probably give it to random service employees who cannot.

I'm hoping for a Herman Cain thing mainly

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

it would be very funny!

Surprised the mere mention of masks didn't prompt the interviewer to snap her fingers and summon a pack of the-pigs's to haul nurse ratchet away for slightly harshing the vibes of their genocide pep rally

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Her eyebrows going up was her activating her neuralink panic button.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

It's not even a cool superspreader event. Honestly the lamest possible place you could go get COVID is a political convention.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

God these people suck

Yeah this looks like an 'aren't we all glad covid is over now' narrative being deployed, 'sure it might still be around here or there, but the pandemic is over, mission accomplished'. Mainstream articles about covid talk about it in a passive voice where there's never any retroactive blame or responsibility on the government and just focus on personal measures like getting vaccinated (and sometimes reminding about masks). Also the ~10% chance of getting long covid per infection is under-discussed when it could be used as a good personal interest motivator to take covid more seriously.

btw the only 2 accounts I miss since stopping to use twitter are Dr. Lucky Tran and Arnaud Bertrand (for geopolitics/news/takes), feel like I should bookmark them now that we have xcancel. Sometimes Eric Topol had good stuff too.
