The cascade of “if I was wrong about this I might need to reevaluate my whole worldview” is too much for most to take. RWers already pathologized those of us taking precautions, and depending on the liberals either repeat it verbatim or soften it up so they don’t appear cruel.
Cognitive dissonance is a son of a bitch
Tbh no matter who the non-masker is, they’re all reasoning inductively. They don’t like masking, they find it irritating or inconvenient. They are given targeted excuses to stop. The liberals have different excuses that the conservatives, but the excuse doesn’t matter. Same result.
Feeding into the binary fallacy that death is the only bad outcome from COVID-19 does nothing except normalize & forward the agenda of the anti-vaccine movement.
No.
Our mask requirement is not "virtue signalling".
It's protecting a) the cancer patient and b) the child who is still too small to wear a mask.
And also--and I can't emphasize this strongly enough--you.
but because so few spend any time actually analyzing how protests function, they see viral moments and seek to replicate them, believing this to be what solidarity is.
would they replicate the shadowy figures throwing gas cans back? no. they don’t want to get their hands dirty.
They were explicitly sold vaccines as “something you can do instead of masking” and since they were a good boy, they want a treat. Unfortunately, the treat is projecting their own inner anxiety on the clinically vulnerable and calling them irrational. Giving up bc everyone else has = rational 🙄
Dear liberals,
If you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It’s one small act of solidarity with the millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health
Those who understand SARS-CoV-2 (Covid) causes neurological, endothelial, cardiovascular, and immune system damage, and that damage from repeated infections is cumulative, mask. And those who don’t will soon find out.
I don’t “live in fear” typically means, I prefer to “live in denial.”
He protests “1 to 3 times weekly” 😂
That violence belongs in a museum!
Blinder than blind is the faint-hearted
Trembling with hope that the thing is not evil
He gives it a friendly reception
Disarmed, tired out with terror
Hoping for the best …
Until it’s too late
The whole thread 🔥
you will never be amenable enough to the demands of a fascist tantrum to make it stop without selling your soul and becoming a fascist yourself.
there is no amount of compliance that is acceptable short of absolute indoctrination.
the more you bend, the more they push you down.
stop helping them!
similarly, appeals to decorum and civility are the most crocodile tears pearlclutching horseshit i’ve ever seen in my life.
you’re getting scammed into extending your empathy to people using it to attack your neighbors.
they don’t deserve it! you’re not good for giving it to them! it’s bad to do!
Postleftwatch goes overboard at times but Eoin is solid
Et tu, pitchbot?
David Bowie’s secret final project discovered locked in his study
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SECRETARY GINA DEBLASSIE AUGUST 29, 2025 Ensuring Availability of COVID-19 Vaccine for the 2025-2026 Season
THIS ORDER supersedes any previous order, proclamation, or directives to the extent they are in conflict. This Public Order shall take effect immediately and remain in effect until such time as it automatically expires one year from the date of issuance, or until such time as the New Mexico Department of Health Cabinet Secretary rescinds it.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
What we think serial killers look like vs what they actually look like:
I sure do love that whenever a trans person says anything negative about Newsom that a horde of people who are locking in Newsom as the 2028 Dem nominee pop up to scold you. Very fun!
No intellectually honest person says “Dem/progressive” in 2025. Those are different groups with different goals, and anyone saying otherwise is just PR. The idea that you can be both is like people saying they support both newsom and the homeless, or newsom and trans folks. Not a real thing.
Bluesky treating Taylor Lorenz worse than Twitter, not beating the “we’re just shitlib version of musk’s app” allegations. If you’re defending Chorus you’re either and idiot or on the payroll
One of my fave parts of watchmen is they include nearly every song that boomers think are sacrosanct. Just to point out that they fell asleep
Matt Taibbi very obviously wants to be Hunter S. Thompson but his career arc is like if someone called Thompson problematic so he became a Reagan supporter
South Park has a longer history with them. It’s been a part of their lives a lot longer. And it’s not on the Epstein list.
San Francisco voters ousted Chesa Boudin and installed a "tough on crime" DA. Guess what?
There's still crime, drug addiction, and homelessness.
But there's not a coalition of right-wingers and "moderate" Democrats constantly screeching about how crime is an existential threat.
Curtis Yarvin keeps being extremely racist in public—and Vice President JD Vance keeps following him.
Hmm, why is that?
