They have no qualms about lying to further their agenda. Many of the people leading these movements aren't unintelligent, but rather immoral.
But if you don't take the quote out of context, it doesn't support the narrative they're imagining up!
That is fucking glorious, thanks for taking the time to put that beautiful wall of text together.
She's 31?! Goddamn, it looks like being evil really takes it out of you.
From many years ago, in a previous career.
Job: IT
Issue: hardware of some kind is broken
Customer, incredulous: "...but it wasn't broken yesterday!"
Yeah, no shit. That's how things break. They're fine, then become broken. Why is this even being discussed?
But how else will they get a bigger house? Nicer, larger yacht? More private jets?
Like, I kinda understand the "more more more!" mentality. As my income has gone up over the years, there's always something more my monkey brain tells me I should want. A nicer, more comfortable car. A new video card. Two angry ponies. You know how it is. I tell it to shut up because I have more than enough already.
I'm not a sociopath, though, so at no point has my monkey brain told me to enslave others so I can have nicer stuff.
I just respond with a hearty "yeeearghhhh!" and continue the conversation. The coworkers that know get it, the rest think I'm a lunatic.
I came here to make exactly the same point. Fuck the United States judicial system.
I recently had a coworker who was unable to understand how to use Google or other search engines. She may have been the stupidest person I've ever met and was the living embodiment of the fact that one can be highly educated yet still incredibly stupid.
Can confirm. We have four cats and one likes me the most. My wife has dubbed her my "cat wife".
Most of the time, she'll at least meow at me if I call her name. If I call her after around 7 pm while in the bedroom, she'll haul ass into the room, jump on the bed, and immediately move to her spot, gracelessly flop over, and start purring. That's our bedtime routine, which she learned independently.
When your response requires you to quote information out of context and to fill in information you don't have with guesses (COVID and immunocompromisation), you're just making things up to suit your belief. Your premise is that other people are just making things up to suit their beliefs. I'll just stop there.
