It was a while before I finally realized what the scam was but they always made me more than a little unsure of their value as "rights". I don't remember what I read that finally put it into coherent terms, but once I figured out the oblation issue, it all makes sense.

Rights are an individual concept, not a collective one. It's the same as with justice. You cannot receive justice for a group, and you cannot punish a group and have justice. You punish an individual, and you seek restitution from that individual against whom the individual committed the crime.

Occasionally there's an attempt to justify going after a group entity like a corporation, but it's always meaningless. PG&E was convicted of 84 cases of involuntary manslaughter for their role in the 2018 Camp Fire in California, but the conviction is fundamentally meaningless. They were ordered to pay a fine and fees totally $4 million, but nobody was personally liable. That's less than $50k per person they killed.
The whole thing is a farce, and the extent of their crime was apparently not maintaining their power lines very well - how do you hold someone individually responsible for that? Nobody was individually liable and nobody was individually imprisoned or otherwise punished, and the cost just rolls back to the customers.

@leyonhjelm @TurdFerguson Yeah, I do think that the concept we have now of "human rights" has been used against us. I'm no longer comfortable with the concept of it. It loses all context, it is devoid of the community and trust inherent in that that rights/laws should have.

Are you fucking retarded?

Why do I even bother downloading an app, when these idiots will create an app for each individual web page?
They are just a slightly edited web browsers with an unchangable homepage anyway.

If you got pressured to vaxx, keep this in mind. Also, I'd recommend not going on planes for like 5 years.
Remember that the pandemic didn't kick off until all those news from Italy came out? Italy just readjusted death toll down 97% from 130,000 to under 4,000 by considering co-morbidities. Is any of the consequences of the "original" numbers gonna be reconsidered? FUCK NO
@dubh @LukeAlmighty @critical @kaia it ought not to be called a midlife crisis if it's nowhere near midlife eh. an existential crisis can be at eight if you're precocious. i had my first momento mori moment when i was like four. was at an exhibit on human aging, looked in a mirror and saw i was so young for the first time. and that I would get old and die. it was horrifying.
Don't mutilate your boys.

Because the antifap argument no longers apply, they are now selling it as a neurological (((booster)))
