But we were told it would save lives and was for saving the world?

That means it's completely impossible for such things to be a lie doesn't it?

As long as you say something is for saving the world or doing good and accuse all others who might raise questions about it of being terrorists/communists/racists/nazis etc it simply has to be true doesn't it?

I mean as long as someone just says something is to save lives or for justice or to save the world you have to completely accept it without question don't you?

You don't question it at all right?

Or else that would make you pure black hearted evil wouldn't it?

To take something done in the name of good intentions and apply rational thought and reasoning to it in the interest of affirming whether or not it would actually do good for the world or others or to achieve its goals makes you the literally the equivalent of a rapist doesn't it?

I mean I just got done reading a recent hn article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24714880 that is completely unrelated in any way whatsoever at all to anything mentioned above and I am completely shell shocked, dumbfounded!

I mean how could this happen?

Seriously, we were told it was to save lives?

And it was said by people in official positions with credentials; which means it is literally physically impossible to be wrong in any way at all, we all know this is true!

God this is all too much to take, I really need a holiday. I really hope we have a complete coronovirus lockdown for as long as it takes to kill off this virus for good so we can get back to normal and I can have one.



Hasn't it always been this way?

The emperor has been naked for a very long time but most people seem to care just enough to attack the messengers.


I've been having this concerning feeling lately that we are in fact getting the leaders we deserve :(


If I had voted in the last election, I would have voted for Trump, just to hopefully have a more naked emporer. Lifelong politicians such as Biden and Obama, to me, are much more dangerous. People actually fall for their bullshit.

Edit: minor. Love the downvotes, keep them coming. You know your over target when your taking flak.
