Did I miss a memo that the actually more convoluted thing was somehow the thing that the just and virtuous must believe and all who understand how common lab leaks are must be seen as crazy and evil?

Jfc this is a twisted worldview. I can’t imagine how you got there, but it’s pretty clear you’re not taking anything I say seriously at all because you keep repeating the same shit and now this nonsense. Have a nice day - on someone else’s time.

It’s the whole “it got out” part you’re glossing over there, chief. That’s the complicated part for which no evidence has been provided other than the circumstantial.

Occam’s Razor.

That means the opposite of the way you’re using it here. Your convoluted conspiracy theory doesn’t pass the real world sniff test. It’s a narrative and I don’t buy it.

Somehow this narrative makes more sense to you than the truth: that they were studying a virus’s potential gain of function, found it might gain enough to fuck humanity up, and then the virus in the wild did just that. Cue shocked pikachu face. But yeah sure, it just had to come from the lab. It’s not like they were studying a real virus that was already in the wild and posed enough threat to warrant the study.

What mistakes though.

Oh, so definitely pro-nazi.

Want can mean a state of lack, not just an animal desire.

So, is lemmy.today some kind of maga flavored lemmy? Y’all seem to post trash that gives way more credence to right wing lies than they deserve. Article says Fauci made mistakes but has none to mention, only the accusations made by the most crooked administration in the history of the US. Get outta here with this shit. Blocked.

A badge of dishonor in a world on fire.

…As opposed to AI being poisoned by the propaganda being fed it by the techbros who made it? Boo fuckin hoo.

I sympathize with the Vanguard

My condolences.

the average person has no idea what the fuck is going on and a nation like the US is simply too large (in many ways) for direct democracy

Exhibit A of why the US shouldn’t be a singular nation. If it can’t be run without bullshit, then don’t do that. Just don’t. Time has tested and proven that it was a bad idea.

a small group of people who can devote all their time and energy to the political and logistical needs is probably necessary to transition from this nightmare to FALGSC

Who says we have to convert an existing nation? The US is a failure. Do away with it. Start the FALGSC ball rolling without trying to first occupy the corpse of a failed monster.

here’s lots of problems with Vanguardism, not least of which is the ease of installing a Stalin or Kim, but I think most AuthComs of that type are sincere idealogues. They’re leftists without faith in humanity.

And there I disagree. If you’re okay with dictatorship of any sort for any reason, you’re not actually a leftist, you don’t actually care about the people around you or mankind as a whole. You’re still playing kiddy little political games that have failed us time and time again for as long as recorded history. We need to get over it already!

I think you’re correct on that. In my eyes there are people that are out for the good of all mankind, and there are people who are willing to throw some portion of their own kind under the bus to get ahead. The latter are constantly masquerading as the former to gain power and influence, and they’ll wear whatever color they think you’ll vote for to get it.

ML aren’t even leftists, they’re pro-dictatorship. It’s just right wing bullshit wearing leftist colors.

You idolized an abusive grifter. Get over it.

This shit is already difficult enough without emulating the thought termination, dissonance, and disunity fostering traits

You mean traits like telling everyone “good job, take five” when they didn’t do anything and we’re all still in terrible danger?

How bout no.

Characterizing it that way feels like you just want an excuse to stick your head in the sand and stop fighting. If you’re fighting to feel good about winning, go join the other side and feel good about winning while losing as much as you like. But this literally is not a final real victory and should not be celebrated until we’ve actually won. You’re being whiny and petty about serious shit. This discussion is over.

“Okay we won this battle but the war isn’t over and the enemy is going to immediately react to this victory by attacking elsewhere.”

“OMG CAN’T YOU JUST TAKE A WIN”

If you’re done fighting then go sit down honey. But do it quietly please. There’s a war on.

How to take a win:

1. actually win first

Be sure to let us know once you get that trolling thing figured out.

I have no idea why you’re trying so hard to talk about anything except the literal actual thing we’re talking about. This conversation is over.
