@freemo@qoto.org I dunno, Elon is accurately portrayed there.
Replace leftist with "low decoupler" and I think you're about 95% right. And I'm not saying anything about the correlation between left/right and high/low decoupling, but I think that people who can't independently evaluate the logic of an emotionally charged claim are more likely to exhibit this kind of behavior.

I am now officially a #Freemason as i have now finished my initiation (first degree mason).
It is so cringe when i hear people hijack general less descriptive terms like "neurodivergent" to mean really silly arbitrary things like adhd and autism... we already have descriptive terms and that word already means something useful before you bastardized it.
> It was the lack of bodily autonomy.
As (partially unrelated) side note, if we see the "big picture", we have no full "bodily autonomy", because we live in a society influencing what we eat, drink and breathe, i.e. many things that affects our body and our health are influenced a lot by laws and society behavior, and not only from our direct choices.
It is an eternal balance between how much we are single entities or parts of a group. IMHO, in many cases vaccines require to act like a group, and not as an individual, because with our behavior we are influencing other people.
It depends also from the type of vaccine obviously. For example, in case of COVID, in the end the vaccine was effective only for the variants before the omicron, because it reduced the stress on the sanitary system. But in this case, a nation can also decide to reduce assistance to no-vaccinated people.
Just a reminder... no matter how much you listen or try to genuinely understand them.. this is almost always the outcome when you discuss things with a leftist... Either you agree with them, or they get offended, make personal attacks, and walk.
Every interaction I have with the left leaves me wanting to have less to do with them than the time before, and this is sad since I associate more with left ideals in many cases than right ones.
#Chroma glasses are a medical scam taking advantage of #ColorBlind people.
Kinda weird, but I always wish I had an #Amish friend. Of course given their lifestyle I know thats impossible, or if it were to ever happen it would be an ex-amish. But still, I'd really enjoy that.
