And you do?

It’s relative. And based on perception/expectation.

The result of a couple of centuries of indoctrination claiming the US is a “free” country; all the while expanding the intrusion of central government.

Amen!

No … Your responses are your fault. It’s very simple, if you dont like the way I post, you are under no obligation to engage with me in conversation.

I am not to blame for your penchant to pepper your posts with ■■■■ talking. You alone decide what you do or don’t post to the forum.

How can we have such divergent perceptions of what is and what’s isn’t “real tyranny”. Most of us have a decent idea what’s happening in countries like China, N. Korea, Belarus, Venezuela, etc. and the histories of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, the USSR, etc. and most Americans agree the people of those countries live(d) much harder lives and lack many of the freedoms we enjoy, excluding some fringe tankies. Temporary and very infrequent measures during a health emergency are not real tyranny.

You bet I am … and so are YOU.

So if you are unhappy with the way I respond to your posts, you know how to end it. It’s not my problem nor my responsibility. As you said, YOU and YOU ALONE, decide what you do or don’t post to the Forum. Got it now?

Of course I don’t know what real tyranny is…but I do know what it isn’t.

It’s relative. Land of the free, home of the brave…

It’s not relative.

A mask mandate is not tyranny except in the Land of the Ridiculously Spoiled.

Nonsense. You know what tyranny is, you just haven’t lived under it.

I got it. ■■■■ talkers gonna ■■■■ talk.

Temporary?
-Covid passports after promises of never doing so, and after saying they wouldn’t take the Trump vaccine.
-15 days to slow the spread, now going on 2 years.
-REQUIRED boosters are next, although from looking at Israel, at 90% double vaccination rate, death and infection rates are through the roof, so they are going to try a booster now. What if it doesn’t help either?
-Ignoring having antibodies after recovering from covid, and still requiring the shot, when recovery with antibodies is better.
It’s NOT about protection, it’s about CONTROL and dim politics.

Who promised that? First I’ve heard of this.

What’s your point? That was never a sure thing. And wasn’t that Trump?

What happens if you don’t get the booster?

Unless there was some recent news in the last couple of weeks that I missed to change this, the vaccines offer better protection than natural antibodies from having Covid.

What do they gain from making you wear a mask and getting vaccinated?

1)Good grief, you really don’t keep up with the news do you? Don’t ask for a link, find it for yourself if you are REALLY that uninformed. Biden and Kamaaalla both said they wouldn’t take the Trump vaccine because it was Trump who come up with it when they was running for office against him.

2)The point is we were talked into the shutdowns on the promise it would be only 2 weeks. Now it’s looking like what, several more years? Bullcrap! It’s not about safety, any more than gun control is. It’s about CONTROL. The democrats are getting everyone used to submission & subservience. Do as you are ORDERED! SUBMIT!

3)You won’t get to travel, go to the sore, or out to eat, or shop, or many other things those who live in a free country do. You will submit, obey, & it won’t matter what actual science says and most importantly, MORE IMPORTANT than safety, our rights under the Constitution.

4)Baloney, science denier. Much better to have antibodies from recovering from covid than the shot. The shot is getting less and less effective, as with the Israel example. Antibodies can last for 10 years, sometimes for life. But hey, SUBMIT. Do as you are ordered!

5)Self explanatory. It is all about control, you MUST SUBMIT.

I don’t need a link. They said they wouldn’t take the vaccine on Trump’s word… but they would if public health officials said it was safe. Quotes here:

What do you consider a shut down? This is pretty much a state/local issue. Most businesses here in SF have been open for months. I wouldn’t consider that a shutdown. If you think Democrats are the problem for your area still being shut down then maybe move some place with less Democrats in office? It’s about safety, not control.

You’ll still be able to get groceries and drive your car around. Are public health laws unconstitutional?

I’m not denying science… this is what science is saying. Natural antibodies don’t do as well against the variants as the vaccines do. Here’s one article of many: https://www.klfy.com/health/coronavirus/natural-antibodies-vs-vaccine-antibodies-local-doctor-says-its-time-to-get-vaccinated/

It’s not self explanatory…Control for what end? Besides one’s of public health, what advantage does the government get with mask mandates? Be specific.

Generally all caps on the internet is connected with shouting. Should I be reading your all caps as shouting?

1)So? We all got the point at the time, they trashed Trump for getting it out so fast, now they want to own it. Add to that they want to mandate it. Control freaks.

2)I am moving to Texas soon. A lot of people are moving out of Commiefornia & New York too. A LOT of businesses went under, but hey, who cares? It’s ok with Governor French Laundry & Speaker hairdo & fundraiser.

3)You can’t get groceries if you are broke from not being allowed to work. Most public health laws are Constitutional if applied correctly. Quarantines are for the SICK.

Shutting down businesses, making well people stay home, & all the crazy crap going on with out of control governors who don’t even obey their own orders is not.

Forcing old folks homes to accept infected patients when they was telling them they could not and should not was not only unconstitutional, it was evil. Many thousands died, amongst them many caregivers.

4)You are denying science. The natural antibodies last much longer & will prevent death & hospitalization. Too much emphasis on the Trump shot & not enough on prophylactics and therapeutics.

Tell me, why is it so many Lupis patients never got sick & the few that did didn’t get intubated? The left denies science when it’s politically expedient, regardless of it resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. Again, evil.

5)I explained it very well, a child could understand. I was specific. The democrats want to impose their will on the people. They want a socialist police state & this is just one way to help it along.

They are getting people used to submission & obeying them. The are total control freaks & Marxists bent on removal of freedoms.

It’s not about safety, it’s not about the general welfare, it’s not about caring about people. It’s about POWER & CONTROL.

Wrong thread?

Control for what end?

So are we in a shutdown now or not?

You can work from home.

Things are opening up, have been open for a while really. You’re railing against the past. And yes, politicians are hypocritical… and water is wet, as they say.

Cuomo, sucks. What’s new?

I’m just going with the studies I’ve heard about. Do you have counter studies?

I’ll look into the Lupis thing later.

This is conspiratorial nonsense. The Democrats don’t want a socialist police state any more than the Republicans want a white ethno state. There is no evidence to back up your theory.
