The problem with social media is that it makes very small communities and issues seem very large and important. So when you actually go outside to do something about it, you find out that the world doesn’t care and isn’t impacted by the issue nearly as much as you thought. It sends you right back to your cozy and comfortable online communities where everyone agrees on the important issues.

The ubermensch concept was very popular in the early to mid 1900s, and has even been attempted before! Refer to world War 2 and Nazi ideology for more reading on that topic.

The polio vaccine was extremely effective and polio was very nasty. It also affected kids.

Canada turned her away and she was detained upon re-entry into the united states.

Well why didn’t she try that?

So which parts of the picture are true?

Fine if there are good alternatives, but it’s pretty weird to go out of your way to support Iran, as if they have any claim to moral high ground over the United States.

Do you just wet the top sheet? I might have to try my hand at that…

Oh dang that’s a lot of punching. Pretty sure that won’t work out for you…

It’s a fine sentiment, but where do you find all of these nazis?

Income inequality dropped in his first term, how about that?

Yes, boycott the united states to support… Iran?

Make it a year of pto, and you get to spend that time over the next 18 years. I’d happily take a week after birth and then more time off later as they get older.

No that was a question. I asked a guy I know that question and he said yes, if Trump says it, then he disagrees, simply because Trump said it.

Do you think that everything he does is automatically a bad thing simply because he did it? Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day…

I remember when Trump announced operation warp speed to expedite the covid vaccine, and for a few weeks people talked about how they would never take it.

Any time you have a group of people who can’t be criticized because of their protected status, members of that group will abuse it.

Utter nonsense. There isn’t a single doctor anywhere who wouldn’t treat a completely nonviable and dangerous ectopic pregnancy.

Do you care about people who lost their job because they didn’t want to get the jab? Even if they had verifiable natural immunity from infection? Or what if they followed all the rules and mandates, but their livelihood was ruined anyway because they weren’t connected to the right people or because they were considered non essential by some ambiguous criteria? Walmart was able to stay open, but small local stores and restaurants were forced to close, forever eliminating Walmart’s competition in small towns across the country. And what about the generation of kids whose education suffered, who sacrificed against their futures to possibly slightly reduce the risk of the privileged and fearful elderly ruling class? Years of critical developmental time lost forever, and for reasons that were increasingly disconnected from real science. Where is your empathy for the kids? They had no say in it or ability to advocate for themselves but were forced to bear the largest burden despite being the lowest risk. These injustices were behind the American support for the Canadian convoy. Where were you during that time? Don’t lecture me about hypocrisy. No, I’m not as concerned about people who decided to come here illegally or if they made some bad decisions while here on a temporary basis. Most of those situations will resolve in time, but late cancer diagnoses, accidental overdoses, suicides, and the previous examples I mentioned are long term, lasting impacts. Yes, I have much more empathy for them.

How many total people are we talking about? Actual people.
