It is inevitable, every industry grows to destroy itself through contradictions. It is just annoying how fast this business model took to do it.

You are welcome to defederate yourself

A defence of what? The people who invented global warming? Nah, hard pass.

Because Russia is the same as America in pretty much every way. So it is fascist infighting. Trump is also the same as pretty much the same as every other president. Liberals just hate him for idiosyncratic reasons. So it is funny

…nice

Then I hope China gives you that choice when belt and road 3 replaces the US highway system with trains.

No, using tanks on fascists is part of a healthy democracy. Have you seen America? We have less voting rights than the Chinese and part of the reason why us we just let the worst people on earth just run about saying stupid things. We have to spend all our time and energy on them instead of trying to achieve nice things

I keep accidentally walking into the lib threads and it is horrifying people live like that.

I am thinking maybe some free speech here might be appreciated

In bad country you can be punished or even jailed for talking about government officials. Not here in America though.

I had a security guard at a hospital give me a hard time about wearing a mask still. It’s doffrent down here

Yes, and everyone around you all the time is going unmasked and raw dogging the world. Including members of your family. So you either have to give up all social contact, since even if you are good about masking your friends will want to go out and eat and drink in public. So you skip that or take an exposure. Even stuff like wearing s mask to the grocery store which, would be a good precaution, has a nonzero chance of leading to some altercation. It really is wild how hostile society is to what would be simple precautions. Ahh, I got caught by federation. I didn’t realize this was a Canada thread. Maybe you have it easier up there. Down here in America things are… stressful

There are so many vectors for infection that it is kinda silly to try. That being said I still wear mine as a matter of professional ethics.

Yes. I work in a hospital and people tend not to bother anymore among the staff.

I remember when vaccines rolled out. I would have to sit down and go over it. But there was a time where I stopped having to process bodies for the morgue at my job and that was a nice change. We still saw lots of sick people, they just didn’t die nonstop. So vaccine all thr way.

Yes, being weirdly conservative is part of libersl ideology.

Sarcasm. I thought I was being cute and charming.

If we actually got to try some I might like democracy as well.
