Yeah, but contrary to the other stickied post about "sOmE oF uS UsEd oUr BraInS"
Following a different narrative, just because it's contrary, is not the same as using critical thinking. The people who were actually thinking critically were the people who brought the information to light, who sought out and created the data for the information -- not the people who saw it and went "yup, that aligns with my current beliefs, I'm a critical thinker because I was right!"
There is no moral high ground anyone has unless they participated in trying to force someone else into a decision they did not believe was right.
When you have people around you or people you care about dying to it, it changes perspective unless you're a callous ass.
People really need to learn to put their fucking feet in someone else's shoes because holy shit we have become the polar opposite of humble in today's age, on both sides of this issue.
I am not responding to the meme, I am responding to your post. I don't agree with the meme, but it wasn't what frustrated me -- it's the callousness towards people who we don't know, who didn't do anything to us, suffering for decisions they made that wouldn't have been made if they weren't under billions of dollars of propaganda campaigns.
It's really funny how much we as a group take for granted our resilience to propaganda and forget how thickly it's applied to average people.
They're called "normies" for a reason.
You can follow along the callous line of thinking and excuse the propagandists, the creators of the jab, the people who marketed it, the Congress monsters who pushed it on people because "we didn't MAKE them take it".
I think you'll also find that more resistance to that statement is happening every day, as more people continue to wake up to what has happened.
For a group that likes to quote "you must show them", sometimes we collectively really fuck up on the follow through.
