That Marco Rubio confrontation was weird

Jack Dorsey has become rich creating one of the biggest sources of hate and misery on earth, but he has every right to ban Info Wars for whatever reason he chooses. For example; "It's Thursday". I'm confused why the Senate is wasting their time on this. Well, I guess anything to distract from Trump's insanity.

this new Alex Jones/Joe Rogan feud is a thing of beauty.

Wow! I saw just the other day Joe talking about Alex and he was still being nice about the guy, but sure - let Alex destroy him. It's what god wants

[BurtReynolds]

I like that he was sure to add "politically" in his rant about strangling Rogan with his bare hands. Lawsuit avoided.

.....and now Alex is back on the Joe Rogan podcast

Aaand Rand Paul is out against mandatory vaccination. Does he think these "alternate schedule" people are his base or something?

These people that make these comments, they are just trolls, right? Right?! I'm having a really hard time lately with understanding why people sit around and attack others like this on the internet. It is hard to imagine that we are regressing as a society, but here we are. We are doomed.

It's beyond explanation.

look at the A&E

we have anti-endgamers out there. this is not too far fetched to believe

I'd say it's another Russian troll farm but they are getting used as a boogeyman so much lately it's hard to wonder if it's turning into a Godwin's Law thing.

I have some anti vaxxers in my family.

The problem is that one of the deepest tissue components of conservative media is a celebration of over-the-top absurdity. Alex Jones. Ann Coulter. Donald Trump. The gun control debate is a “great excuse to go and buy yourself a second AR 15.” etc.

So these people’s perception filters get barraged with this until they become blind to it. They filter out the absurdity and focus completely on the message. “I am a flat earther LOL” is received instead as “I am a flat earther,” full stop.

They end up seeing every internet troll joke and every jackoff who thinks it’s funny to act like they believe in nonsense for message board laughs as sending them a coded message: I’m secretly with you. I’m with you, and these idiots don’t even see it. I can post 50 anti vaccination memes here, and they still think I’m making a joke. Aren’t we great?” My anti vaxxer aunt is part of a group that routinely reposts mediocre memes they find as “great arguments.”

Anti vaxxers are awash in perceived validation from thousands of people who think troll culture is hilarious, and it puts children’s lives at risk.

I know someone who is an anti-vaxxer and is trying to paint it as a #believewomen thing

I’m not here for anyone’s tone policing on this one. I’m also not explaining myself because some of you need this mental exercise: you trust women or you don’t . The end. There is no middle ground. You trust us with our food stamps and our abortions and our vaccines. Or you don’t. We owe you fuck all by way of explanations even if you don’t like our choices. There is a 150% chance you have no idea the reasoning that goes into any of those decisions for any individual. If you don’t trust women GTFO.

I had a friend (who's a manager at a large tele-medicine company) get dunked on recently on Facebook, and it was an interesting exchange to watch. She shared a pixelated image of text that exclaimed: "25 US Sailors, all vaccinated, have been quarantined for a month with mumps; what happened to heard immunity?" People were quick to post links to this CNN article that explains the sailors have a viral infection with symptoms similar to the mumps. At this point she pivots, arguing that the sailors may not have the mumps now, but the viral infection often takes root in people who once had the mumps, so they probably all had it before the infection got into them. Then, the original post that she shared was deleted (who knows why), and she began posting about FB censoring the "truth." It is exhausting.
