basically. but tbh, I saw that entire debate playing out almost a decade before covid hit the scene. verbatim. that's when I started warning people about it, because it came on all over the place in what looked like a highly orchestrated well funded effort spanning everything from traditional media to blogs and social media, in many places where it wasn't even topical. so I pointed out the gaslighting and mischaracterization of people's arguments. I dredged up some information about government eugenics programs and acts of clandestine experimentation and genocide (some within our lifetime), and about what happened on past occasions when that debate was raging. take a look at the signs people are waving for instance? specifically what are they objecting to?

@niclas @toiletpaper well we had the #wirhabenmitgemacht ("we have participated") hash tag in germany going where people posted screenshots of people asking for all kinds of evil things be done to dissenters. there was/is a website too.

suffice to say that using that tag and the website were quickly declared "lists of enemies" which are unlawful with quite hefty sentences. at worst it could mean three years in jail iirc.

i don't think anyone really got sentenced, but the very idea to sue someone for posting screenshots of something someone said on a public platform is dystopian. most people cheered for more hard action back then. now most people outright deny that they cheered, like you said.

and that's why i don't have much pity with people with vaccine injuries.
