> Lockdowns didn't lead to total dictatorship This one is just painful. He cannot even deny, that lockdowns did happen, so he just choses the most extreve mersion, that did in fact fail, and ignores all that did happen. :soyscream:
@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 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.
@LukeAlmighty@matrix Tbh the covid thing was never going to lead to a full take over, the economic side reveals that its more about making people poor.
@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 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 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 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.
