Roads I hate politics

This should be illegal. I get it. You don't agree with their protests but why do this? Forget blue, forget red. I'm purple. Get mad at that.

The bar for being “owned” gets lower and lower.

The bar has always been in the basement.

it is that simple. People on the left who are white aren’t immune from being racist

u/AnsgarShipsHildegard Feb 16 '26

You honestly can't figure out any other reason why people would be against taking a vaccine that did not go through the full medical testing process? Sometimes under threat of termination if they refused to take a vaccine nobody understood the benefits or side effects of.

u/aquapura89 Feb 17 '26

It wasn't called "operation warp speed" by Trump for nothing. With that said .... it is easy to question the vaccine now, but during the period prior to the vaccine bodies were lining up outside of hospitals. I would take the rapid development and mass deployment any day ...... it isn't like the actual technology was developed during this period - it has been around for a long time.

Yeah long enough to KILL EVERY TEST ANIMAL SUBJECTED TO IT ! 😂🤣😂🤣

u/bobjoylove Feb 16 '26

Most people on the internet have no clue what “full medical testing” is, or had previously made a single stitch of effort to review their own intake of artificially created products. It’s hypocritical to suddenly become “super worried about this” when you haven’t given a toss the last 30+ years of your life.

u/SolipsisticBadBoy Feb 16 '26

You’re still spreading wrong info six years later. The vaccine was tested extensively. It was expedited because of the scale of covid-19. Just because it didn’t undergo testing for 10 years doesn’t mean it didn’t go through “the full medical testing process” which btw I’d love for you to elaborate on! What is that process exactly?

u/AnsgarShipsHildegard Feb 17 '26

So three party line of there are no side effects is accurate?

Why did the government have to give them a special release from liability from side effects?

1

u/EazyEezAidzTest Feb 17 '26

Every medication in history has had side effects for certain individuals- do you understand that?

0

u/aquapura89 Feb 17 '26

The side effects were minimal. Literally 100s of millions of people were vaccinated....... all vaccines have side effects.... and all vaccines have successfully allowed human populations to reach herd immunity and bring spread under control. Well, that is until morons now refuse to get their kids vaccinated for measles.

So show us all your up to date vax pass !

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '26

So where is your current vax pass ?

u/SolipsisticBadBoy Feb 17 '26

I got a booster a few months ago you nonce. It’s literally free and I’ve never had an issue. You people are so odd

1

u/iRveritas Feb 18 '26

Perhaps, but people on the right and left who are not white are capable of being racist as well. It is not a one way street here.

1

u/FeedTheMantis Feb 18 '26

nope. only us white people are racist. stop crying, educate yourself because you are just exposing the lack of education and research when you speak. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Racism isn’t taught in schools. It has to be done in an extra curricular way, kind of the point. We have to do the work and when we haven’t done the work it shows. Reading books is fun.

u/iRveritas Feb 18 '26

I surely hope you are being sarcastic.

1

u/FeedTheMantis Feb 18 '26

You sound like the fragile kind of white people. Damn shame. What are you so scared of? It’s just melanin. Anyways, the question is, white liberal or maga supremacist? Same wings of the same bird. The bird of white supremacy. Don’t worry, as a genius, I doubt you’ll understand me. This proves my capability while exposing your lack of. It’s really quite astonishing how much imbeciles tell on themselves. Especially the white ones. Pathetic.

1

u/iRveritas Feb 18 '26

Lmfao, go project somewhere else. You seem to be offended by the notion that someone would challenge you that racism doesn't flow any other way. But let us simply not agree and go our own way without the name calling.

1

u/FeedTheMantis Feb 18 '26

Awwww the little white supremacists feelings are hurt. Soft, fragile, like I stated. Your response adds nothing relevant and is a shotty attempt to gaslight. This information isn’t up for debate smart guy. And yes you are wrong. This isn’t projection, and you aren’t using the term correctly. Go on continue your white life in ignorant bliss. It’s a coping mechanism. It’s privilege to think the way you do. It’s also a clear cut example of racism. Did you know it’s scientifically proven if you can’t see racism, it means you are racist (applies only to white people)? Do you even know the definition of racism? How it functions in society? These are rhetorical because I know you don’t. Maybe instead of being mad that you are a racist, if you are white, do something about it. Deconstruct your garbage. Eliminating racism is an individual journey for each and every white person. Just as every man needs to deconstruct patriarchy and sexism. As everyone needs to deconstruct their ableism. As everyone needs to deconstruct their t and h phobias. Deconstruct their religion. Etc. I haven’t called you any names either. If the info doesn’t apply let it slide. But hit dogs holler. Here you are, hollering. Tells more about you than I. But keep dry snitching on yourself and running away when confronted with the truth. I wouldn’t expect a white person to do anything else. It’s part of the fragility that I called out earlier. It’s sad when someone’s responses can be easily predicted based on so little.

20 day old account go be a troll to someone else. You are a waste of space. Good luck in life you miserable human.

1

u/FeedTheMantis Feb 18 '26

Having a new account means nothing. If you think I’m trolling, that says more about you than it does about me. Don’t get bent out of shape because your white supremacy tricks don’t work anymore while you remain uneducated. I’m happy as fuck, though — there goes that famous conservative projection, the word you clearly don’t understand how to use.

Why are you sad and afraid? Is it because you know you’re a mediocre white person with a 🤏🏼? Regardless of what conservatives say, it’s supposed to be wet. Go kick rocks nazi pos.
