covid cult
1: Fauci
2: supporting banning doctors from social media who say the cure cannot be worse than the disease
3: Anyone who says "maybe this is going on a little too long" is called a grandma killer
4: Self-explanatory
5: "grandma killer Trump supporter idiot stupid evil science denier". Also, I believe 90% of "long covid" is cognitive dissonance when this world-ending disease is to you a mild cold. Leftist white woman(the most often demographic who "experiences long covid": "We didn't shut down the world for this mild infection, I CANT WALK!" (the vaccine heals it too apparently...)
6: "no way Fauci and China and every world leader colluded to destroy personal freedom and transfer wealth to Amazon and Walmart, and even if that did happen, so what"
7: Cant smile at people to show you agree you agree how evil it is
8: "I'm smart educated and caring"
9: Who benefits; the 1% of big businesses and China.
10: vaccine obsession
I don't see your rank anywhere.
I was joking... implying that my username displayed my rank.
Yep.
#3 How many conservative blacks are called Uncle Toms? Chelsea Handler had to remind 50 cent that he's black. The walkaway dude was assaulted and called a faggott by BLM.
If we are being self reflective. How do we look at Q? Is he an authoritative figure? Donald Trump told everyone to get vaccinated and most said "nah" if we were a cult to DJT that wouldn't make sense. But how do people view Q as far as an authoritative figure?
To any thinking person here, authority means nothing. Furthermore, Q is not an authority, but a source of information and hope that a solution to a problem we all know exists may be coming soon.
What authority does Q execute? What does Q command? To ask questions? To research? That doesn't sound like an execution of authority but generally good advice for anyone.
Trump is an authority in the sense of his political influence, but again, to any thinking person, authority has no relation to truth. Which is generally how Trump is viewed on this board. Like the wise ancient priests who knew the gods were to be revered, and not worshipped, we celebrate Trump for his contributions, but do not follow him as if he is the dispenser of truth (or most do not, as there are clearly some that are guilty of this, but we ought not).
On the Left, however, authority does equate to truth. "Trust the scien[tists]!" "His opinion is more important because he is more of a victim!" "You're not a woman, so you don't get to have an opinion about abortion!" Appeal to authority is a fallacy far more understood by folks who appreciate truth, which happen to be more prevalent in conservative circles (for whatever reason ?).
I imagine there's several. The Liberal thinks that the main stream media is the end all be all. Dr Fauci is the 2nd best Dr, only behind Dr. Jill Biden. They don't seem to stray far from their talking points.
#7 "boys are girls" "birthing person" "Latinx" "systemic racism" "infinite genders" "climate change"
#4 "The world is going to end in 10 years" "Everyone outside of the Dems are white supremacist." "Cops are death squads that hunt blacks"
#9 The Dems are funded by alot of dark money. Their Non Government Organizations are just a front for laundering money. Their book deals are shady as fuck. Some engage in art deals that are just a way to legitimize their money. They give foreign aide that trickles back into their pockets.
