[thenewbittercenturion] I just had a revelation today that was both stunning and heartbreaking.

I just found out that every single person I know personally, in my small circle of friends, people I'd chat casually with, and people I worked with professionally, ALL got the poke 'n smoke. Every single one of them.

Now I'm not going to disparage anyone who got the jab because I'm still a proponent of personal choice. Take ten clot shots. Smoke some crystal meth. Get a tattoo of a miniature 'Mona Lisa' on your peen. Get ass raped by a donkey. I don't give a damn. It's your body. Do whatever the fuck you want with it.

#5  No, the reason this was pretty disheartening is because a fair chunk of these people I'm speaking of were HUGE mouthpieces when it came to defying the 'gubmint', yapping about personal liberty, and basically spitting in the fan. A lot of them were people who actually got me redpilled on how the world 'really works' many, many years back. Some were gun owners, some were so-called 'molon labe' tacticool people, but generally all just folks I thought were ahead of the curve. These are people I thought saw things the way I did - some of them actually did. I thought these people would hold out, like I did. Not submit.

Turns out, I was wrong. Turns out, in the end, they were all full of shit.


He is right. I wouldn't want to be a Canadian right now. But the lemmings in America are on the same path.

#4  On a parallel note, driving to work during the shutdown was great. There was nobody else on the road.
Stopped at a convenience store at O dark thirty one morning, there's a cop in the lot standing next to his car drinking coffee. I yelled at him "Ain't it great being essential?" and he laughed and yelled back "It keeps me out of the house, so it's all good".

#3  The fact is a lot of people were "nag coerced" into getting the shot, just to get along. There were so many roadblocks that were intentionally thrown in the way, and you might not even be able to work if the karens had their way.
I got lucky. My employer deemed me 'essential' (no days off for you), and at work we were spaced out so no close contact. The company arrainged for shots to be given there, and I responded "I have no desire to be a guinea pig". Then I was injured at work, and medicalled my way into retirement.
I did get Covid (or something). Felt like crap for a week, and got better. I still have no desire to be a guinea pig.
Go test it on somebody who trusts you. I certainly don't.

#2  It’s tough for libertarians to resist government excess because they don’t organize and work together very well. They may not actually fight back until they are defending their personal space and family, by which time it is probably too late.
