Hint: Use DuckDuckGo, not Google, when you search. That's how I found these. DDG will get you true results, not Democrats' results, considering how the Democrat Party owns Big Tech (which includes Google and Facebook). Wake up!

Two of your sources are basing their claims on the same troll account, one of them also dishonestly claims the fires were entirely limited to the US.

Another one is a bunch of people speculating baseless claims and MR OBVIOUS is peddling in replacement theory guano and all sorts of other baseless nonsense.

I'm really not comfortable pretending such obvious disinformation qualifies as a credible source. Enjoy your kool-aid.

This sinister influence from the Democratic party really is quite remarkable, according to you anyway. One has to wonder why they'd waste time running a political party with all that power and influence under the hood. That worldwide slave army isn't going to recruit itself, after all, so they're going to have to get much busier.

Apparently "Democrats" (whatever that is) have managed to pay off/bribe all scientists and researchers worldwide to lie about Covid (and climate change, I'm guessing) - and now they've convinced all the employees at Google and Facebook, worldwide, to falsify search results?

We're still waiting on this, BTW:

There is a scientific establishment as well as a media establishment, but it’s institutional, not conspiratorial.

Look, I’m a believer in both the seriousness of COVID and the importance of vaccines, and yet, when a doctor shows up on a mainstream source like CNN talking about vaccines, often I’m not real impressed. Because the doctor often babys down the information like we’re some kind of dumb bunnies. And that’s no damn way to talk with people.

And people sniff this out.

Instead, take a deep breath and assume you’re audience is just as smart as you are — maybe even assume they’re slightly smarter even if this is a fiction! — they just don’t happen to know your particular subject.

In addition, just like aviation safety, the public has very high standards for vaccine safety — and I think we should generally embrace this.

I should not have opened this thread again ... sigh.

Aspie1, you are much further down the rabbit hole than I realized. It saddens me; I want good things for you, not all this. Yet you think I'm the one down the rabbit hole. What I see as your need for misinformation seems to go far beyond just COVID-19 and, well, if you haven't figured out by now that Q is fake or trolling all of you, then you never will. You know what? If it makes you happy or gives you a sense of purpose, believe what you want, but I DO ask this: don't pass it on to children (pretty sure you don't plan to have any), and stop calling the rest of us and our beliefs names to show your contempt. I have no contempt for you, so I don't know why you insist on having it for any of us.

I know real people who died from COVID-19. FROM. Not made up, not exaggerated. The national numbers jive with what I know first hand. Not from news, not from Facebook, but first hand. But I guess you don't trust me, either.

Was lock down problematic in many ways? Yes, of course, it was an effort to choose among evils in a time of limited information. Would it be done the same way if we had known then what we know now? Maybe not. But most families were able to figure it all out without going to extremes. I remember smiling as my neighbors engaged in a play date in the middle of the street, which didn't get much traffic in lock down. The kids were great, keeping a distance from each other, but clearly enjoying the play none-the-less. People can be quite resilient and flexible. But that is a big difference between you and I: I believe in people. I know all the bad things in human psychology, but I also know the good, and given the opportunity, I see the good win out more often than the bad. The opportunity is the usually issue, not the nature.

I read an article with quotes from a former conspiratorial theory believer who had the chance to spend some time working on projects with large volumes of people and institutions. Those interactions led them to come to the conclusion that no conspiracy theory could ever be valid for one simple reason: people make too many mistakes. Which is exactly what I concluded long ago. The idea that anyone could successfully pull this stuff off, generally requiring large scale flawlessly coordinated efforts by thousands of unique individuals, doesn't add up. People make too many mistakes.

Well, one person's trash is another person's treasure. To be honest, I don't care for Q that much, although I had a blast at the group's Halloween and New Year's Eve parties. I go there because they share my dislike of Democrats and their lockdowns. Basically, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And if I want a social fix, I'd rather attend a mask-free party than smash storefronts.

It's basically the 2020/2021 equivalent of downloading music on Napster, Limewire, or BitTorrent. Except that the political roles are now reversed. Instead of liberals being free spirits and conservatives being stuffy rule-followers, the opposite is true today.

Do you think people perhaps could be free from having to get a disease with possibly long lasting side effects and maybe dying? Or do you really think all that stuff is a hoax?

Then why do you keep repeating all of their conspiracy theories?

Well, they obviously didn't care much about dangerous government overreach in India, so they let people party and socialize.

Look what happened:

But I guess this is all an "election infection"/"scamdemic" hoax invented by the Democrats (and Antifa), right?

Ok, I can sort of see that. But I would draw the line at spreading the dangerous ideas, and apparently you haven’t. And why is it so important to openly dislike Democrats and tease and mock? The divisiveness that is being fed really distresses me. I believe we need a team of rivals battling it out towards compromise in order to achieve the best ideas to solve today’s insanely complex problems, but we aren’t in a space to get that.

Anyway, back to my work deadline and off the board.

Owning the libs has become the entirety of the conservative agenda, regardless of any consequences. It's not the means to an end, it has become the end. That's why the constant disinformation and peddling of conspiracy theories is so important, some of the people peddling them don't honestly believe them but they see reasonable people become frustrated or enraged by them so they spread them anyways.

So it seems. But I will never understand how anyone can think anything positive for our country can come from that.

They don't think, that's the problem.

They get told that believing this crap is required to pwn the libs, so they do it.. re-elect republican grifters who then sell them out to corporate donors while lining their own pockets, rinse & repeat until the oligarchy is complete at the expense of the country being plunged ever further into debt.

So, just asking for a friend... how do you have constructive dialogue with someone splashing gasoline around your living room?

I'll take the rich corporate donors over the government tyrants and the violent looters. It's better that having your store ransacked by criminals who will get away with it, because Democrats paid them do it.

The conservatives wanted to put hydroxychloroquinine, a low-cost, readily available drug, into the hands of the population. But no! The libs censored it out of existence, because they didn't want an easy Covid treatment to be released under Trump's presidency.
