@LukeAlmighty He was quite against the lockdowns when they were going on.
He might be giving a bit extreme positions but both of them very popular with a significant chunk of the right.
@matrix
It's just stupid to see the extreme event that did happen, and use it as an example of negative, because it just didn't go far enough.
@dcc @matrix
Yeah, but I just hate, when people reduce these issues to the most insane "theory", to ridicule opposition.
Whenever for instance I mentioned to dad how new the jab was, and the time it takes to do a full testing, he would always respond with "muh microchip"...
It's so retarded. It serves nothing but to kill conversation. And every opinion has one insane advocate to point to.
@LukeAlmighty The reason he uses it as an example is because many people were unnecessarily pessimistic in their predictions. The line of reasoning between "let's lockdown temporarily" to "let's make it permanent" wasn't well articulated.
@LukeAlmighty He also mentions it because his friend Scrump went crazy during lockdowns so it's partially a jab at him and a portion of his audience.
@matrix
There is also a big difference between 2 weeks and 2 years.
The power grab was real. Yes, we can absolutely debate about the "true motivation", but to say that nothing happened is just wrong.
@LukeAlmighty SFO never claimed that nothing ever happened. He just thinks it was a misguided effort that went poorly, not motivated by power.
And I would say I agree too.
I think that it was perceived as a power grab because politicians had to balance perception that they are doing something and trying to not completely screw up the economy, which led to the creation of quite retarded rules.
@matrix Well, he said, that none of the predictions came true, in that video.
That single claim is what triggered me so much. It's a retarded claim, that trivializes the whole situation.
@LukeAlmighty I'm pretty sure the amount of people actively refusing vaccines was fairly small. The reason mandatory vaccination was dropped imo was because the vaccine wasn't as effective at reducing spread as originally thought and Covid mutated and got milder.

@LukeAlmighty Aha, tak to je víc než jsem čekal.
@matrix
Yes. And I remember, that our government outright came out saying, that they did want to make the vax mandatory, but didn't only because the percentage of population protesting was way too big.
