No I legit did not know how many there were. Only seen a couple widely shared photos with one flag at a time in them.  Do you have better sources?

Because... I wouldn’t do that? I don’t want to fight some tweaker nazi freak in the street and get arrested, stabbed or worse.

Maybe so, but that’s not really in everyone’s capability, you know?  Walking away is one thing, but then some press folks still get the photo of you with a nazi flag behind you that you had nothing to do with.

Sorry, my post was naive.  I genuinely didnt know what % of protestors here had nazi shit.  Only seen a couple widely shared photos with yes, one dude at a time in them.  So my question stands, was it really fair to judge everyone for this, or did one asshole sneak into the fracas?  It happens all over the US, too.

Dragging you out the greys for your terrific user name correlation.

I do have factual basis for these statements, yes.  We know that covid variants have not arisen from populations of unvaccinated americans.  All detected internationally.  I did indeed have hard data that majority of early omicron cases were detected in fully vax americans.  It was like 80% in early to mid december. …

Well, it’s still true, so? Do you have any calm questions for me? I know dozens of people in my local community that are just like me and my wife, bud. We respect immigrants, LGBTQ rights, the environment, and fair taxation of rich folks. We voted blue forever.

Nah. I’m a good person, just trying to get people to use some logical reasoning. Not trolling, not a tinfoil hat. Deep breaths, man. Humans are humans. Unvaccinated americans are not the source of covid mutations, we know this, factually.  Readily available data showed in december through early january that a majority…

Yeah, thats not how that works, at all.  Unvax people don’t cause mutations and spreading.  The majority of covid spread is currently via fully vaxed breakthrough cases.  Take a deep breath and try to stop hating other humans.

A bunch? That is one. You can’t “kick someone out” of the public outdoors spaces in a downtown, dude. No one is associating with these bozos, they just show up and taint the whole affair. You’re being judgmental and divisive.

When you are having a succesful, peaceful protest of thousands, and one dude with a nazi flag starts walking around behind you, what are you supposed to do? Beat the shit out of him? So now you’re all fucked, because someone snapped a photo, so you’re all nazis? The flash judgement of this whole movement from the very…

Yes, I do generally believe the excess death counts from coroners. That would be pretty hard to fake. But we are only quite recently learning how many people dying the in hospital didn’t go there originally for covid. Most states are showing that basically half of the “full hospital beds” emergency is people who…

What? No, just telling you my feelings man. I don’t troll, it’s pathetic and unsatisfying. Children do not need to wear masks. It’s not developmentally appropriate, they need to see each others faces.

And half of those people are dying with covid, not from it. We have that data, roughly half of hospitalizations are not people coming in with severe illness from covid. The fact that two years in, and no one is still discussing preventative health measures, like maybe not being an obese diabetic, is tragic. But no,…

Damn, thanks for that reply. My heart hurts real bad for everyone’s loss of community, family and society right now during these strange times. Which is part of why I want us all to have an honest and open conversation about what measures really work, and make sense, versus those that are blatant fear mongering and…

Lol, I hear you man. Sort of.  I never thought I would feel this way either. It ain’t BS, slow down and listen. I thought Trump was a crazy wanna-be authoritarian too. He openly admires how putin, kim jong un, and others can rule with an iron fist. It disgusted me and I never voted for that moron. I wasn’t thrilled to…

Jesus. Feels pretty sad that I have to explain any of what I wrote.

Thats funny how polarizing these recent events can be. I am the complete opposite of you. Diehard liberal who voted D my whole life. And now, may never again. Bodily autonomy has suddenly become the single most important issue in my life. Biden and his brain dead cohorts are aiming towards authoritarianism, and it disg…

Well said!

Thank you for having a completely reasonable and thoughtful position. This seems like obvious reality to me, but the non-vax haters are just so vitriolic. Convinced that someone elses choices that didn’t affect them one bit, have somehow prevented them from getting back to normal.  It’s time to be realistic here.
