You can't deny that it does feel very satisfying to have been correct in most aspects of it all along, in the face of the popular narrative that was parroted by the "intellectuals".
Some of it is still around though - people are still getting "vaccinated" for Covid by taking "boosters" for a coronavirus!
Do they even question what, uh,
variant of Covid they're even on? I remember all of that alpha, gamma bullshit, so according to their thinking... which one are they being vaccinated against again?
They were never exactly critical thinkers when they would denounce travel bans and anti-immigration stances as xenophobic despite those very things being the international equivalent to social distancing. I vaguely recall the UK getting extra fucked because they kept letting Indians in who had their own hyper evolved covid, no doubt because of their lack of sanitary standards, but being called a racist is worse than dying from covid according to their brain rot.
Leftists aren't just stupid which is why we need to throw out the rubbish known as "Hanlon's razor": never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
This nonsense is bandied about whenever some bad actor behaves the way Leftists behaved during Covid.
Stupidity and malice are not mutually exclusive conditions. They are often found working together.
I think that one of the most demoralizing lessons learned from Covid is that a significant part of the population thinks of freedom as a burden and want to exchange it for provisions and fewer responsibilities. This desire unleashed malice aimed at those who do not want to give up their freedom.
Wincel is emblematic of this sort of person: lazy, pedantic, self-righteous, and a vicious practitioner of sophistry.
Holy shit, man,
thank you. I have always hated that stupid Hanlon adage that has only remained because it piggybacks off of
Occam's actual Razor, and it turns out it was pretty much just a
joke submission.
It's even more egregious given how often we recognize the evil behind stupid people who blindly follow orders.
You highlighted the problem in this country in that we have people whose core beliefs intrinsically clash with everything that the nation was founded on, but instead of removing themselves, they wish to force their own ideology upon everyone else.
Anyone else see this recently? First time I've seen this EVER since YouTube has gone to war against ad blockers.

I haven't had any issues with Firefox or Brave, both using Ublock Origin.
Gotta love how they try to paint ads in some positive light letting
billions use it while ignoring how they've torpedoed the entire platform for everyone trying to get them on subscriptions that they'll just introduce ads for to justify an even more expensive tier.
that's the most entertaining part, is you've got a lot of virtue signaling dick heads who are dick riding this dude while blissfully being unaffected by that inconvenient thing called reality
Truth. Outspoken liberals and feminists are always the most guilty of everything they screech about.
I've heard about this, it'll become an arms race between ad blocker software and YouTube.
I have Premium. One thing that pisses me off though is that creators are still allowed to inject their own sponsorships into the middle of a video. I've unsubbed from some channels, but they all seem to be doing it now.
At least for browsers, check out
sponsorblock.
It's one of the niceties about smart tube next for streaming devices alongside a far superior user interface.
The fact that creators have resorted to using sponsors as a
primary means of guaranteed pay rather than even just a supplement is a testament to Youtube's continuing failure on the service end for both viewers and creators, and instead treating it first and foremost as another advertiser platform.
Youtube will demonitize or further penalize channels over the most mundane and inane infractions without an ounce of consistency or the ability for creators to fight back against a one-sided algorithm war.
