i cant believe i just got a lecture in public ethics by a guy who gives himself tachycardia reading x files plotlines

[sle_epy]

Kook weirdo, possibly less dangerous than trump. Probably not tho. Don't like his takes on trans stuff that's for sure. He thinks things in the water are increasing the incidence of young cis boys wanting to transition to female. Like wtf? That's some dangerous rhetoric. More like trans visibility in every day life and online, just being normal ppl, has more ppl realizing that they're trans and that it's ok to be that. Why you think they're banning books in school libraries. Might be the only place a young LGBTQ kid has to find information on themselves or media depicting them that they're able to access.

Conservative is a funny word, because they're all actually facist radicals.

[caiiro]

he's like a regular moderate politician who took the x files way too seriously.

Seems willing to talk about a lot of things that candidates have rarely touched (CIA involvement in assassinations, regime change, big pharma), he’s well read on a variety of issues and is able to speak extemporaneously in a charismatic way once you get past his voice. And by the way, he is not antivax. Listen any of the in depth interviews he’s done about it and he’ll make the distinction that he is pro safe vaccines. His interview with Megyn Kelly is good if you want to see him go back and forth with someone who originally thought he was a crazy anti vaxxer and eventually comes to understand the nuance of his position.

You seem like a very dumb person who is convinced he is very, very smart.

Very, very strong argument

Thank you.

What do you even get out of saying this? Does it make you feel better about yourself to personally insult anonymous people on the internet instead of addressing what they actually said?

Nothing he said is worth addressing because it's a bullshit argument with no substance.

Fuck, this is some Trump level presidential candidate shitposting. I back it. Election season in the USA is so fucking funny. Like WWE but the outcome has actual consequences to your life

And yet you felt the need to address it and assert your intellectual superiority while bringing nothing to the table. Just say dunning Kruger if that’s what you mean, but as someone who argues about Nabakov on a skateboard message board, it ends up sounding a lot like projection.

The more classically liberal, communist, and socialist libertarians I know are good people

I’m kinda dumb as shit when it comes to these things, but are socialist/communist and libertarian not mutually exclusive?

[close]

Communist libertarianism is like 'dude everyone should be equal and shit' but also 'dude drugs should be legal and shit'. But yeah they're completely incompatible ideologies when it comes down to it.

Incorrect. Libertarianism is way more than just the right-wing US version. There is a long history of it in Leftism.

So @ToshiroTownune was clearly just banned for questioning the COVID vaccine and other vaccines, I am curious as to why this is a bannable offense?

If I'm banned for even asking this, just know I'll be back.

[exlurker]

Impression i get is that people only want to vote for this guy because their favorite candidate, Joe Rogan, isn't running

It's crazy to me how people are actually dumb enough out in the world that they can listen to this guy speak for more than two minutes and not realize what a total idiot wack job he is. If he had literally any other last name, no one would care about him.

Is he actually banned? Spreading misinformation is bad and people who knowingly do it and double down on it should be called out or punished for doing it. Plus, when you register to post here, the first sentence says you won’t post material that is false so falsely claiming that vaccines are bad an unsafe breaks that rule.

Well this isn't a question to you necessarily Oyolar but to the mods, why is this a rule? Isn't debating the safety of vaccines just debating medical science? I don't see how it's any different to debating the safety of any other medical procedure.

Please save it for reddit. This is literally the last place left where I don't have to be bombarded by assholes debating in bad faith, about things that actually matter. At least here it's just skateboarding.

i hate vaccine talk but he shouldnt have been banned and you guys know it. you guys defending the mods have the weakest arguments lol. they even removed the post like it was an actually danger lol.

That user was banned because they were spreading a harmful conspiracy theory. Slap isn't 4chan so it's best to nip that sort of stuff in the bud.

Yeah it's like none of it's foregrounded but if you just skim over the margins you can see RFK jr. is deeply homophobic

[exlurker]

Once i heard that Steve Bannon/Roger Stone have been promoting this dude, it became clear to me that if Trump wins the primary, he might name this dude as his VP and claim he's "uniting" the parties.

It's too perfect. Q-anon nutters will see an echo of their JFK Jr mania. Trump loves name recognition more than anything else, he'd kill for some of that Kennedy sheen.

God i hate this timeline

[modern life is war]

Someone earlier in the thread was saying how ridiculous it was for RFK Jr. to say that wifi is dangerous (or words to that effect), and while he admitted he isn't an expert on the topic he's not wrong that there are dangers to having wifi be so prevalent in our homes and on devices that we keep in pockets next to our genitals or next to our ears/brains. Google it. I always have my phone on airplane mode whenever it's in my pocket. We just don't know the dangers yet because all this shit is so new to us, and that goes for so much stuff in our current world, not just wifi. Why would you take the risk? In his Rogan podcast he talks about Glyphosate too which you can research for yourself and see how dangerous that herbicide is to your gut, and that shit is in pretty much any inorganic vegetable/vegetable product in the USA. It's on the road to being banned in several European countries. The companies developing these things clearly aren't worried about our health, they just want to make money and that's the bottom line. If you're fine with being part of the treatment group in this huge global experiment then that's on you but don't shoot people who are just trying to protect us.

I don't think he'll win but I hope his run for presidency makes a lot more people aware of just how fucked our health is becoming in the West and there are real people who can be held accountable for it.
