Thanks
@rainbowlemon for all the vaccine information.
For a thread that's regularly dissed as full of crazies you lot are the sanest people I've met , even if it's only virtually, the last two years. I think I would have gone insane without you all. Apparently we aren't allowed different opinions anymore... very scarey. People are blocking others who won't change profile to flags
.
To any still reading who finds us annoying and uncaring, newsflash you don't have to
bleeping read it.
Was thinking before how surreal and downright sick,scarey and wrong that up until a few weeks ago it was thought to be acceptable to encourage every man and his dog to have 3 injections in less than a year, and even use threats, sackings, segregation, ridicule if you didn't want them.
Mind-blowing.
My sister texted ranting where were all these people when we illegally invaded Iraq , bombed Libya, when Israel bombed Palestine and all the other recent horrendous conflicts.
It's like people have just been hatched.
I saw a post on Ukraine thread saying it was like their favourite fantasy stories come true ! And don't get me started on the rave thread
.
Sorry for being negative
Your not being negative
@Poddular , just considerate, something some other people could do with learning.
We are mindful of others, and try to be respectful. I realise things are quite tense at the moment, and I've asked myself if I should even post or still read on here.
Tbh though I just can't stand how virtue signalling has turned into a popularity contest.
It's like petty schoolyard bitching some of it, and if you're not in the popular crowd, or saying the right things, you just don't exist or have a right to say anything.
The very definition of a clique then, just reading on here, because some of them are looking to be offended, because how dare anyone be different, or have different opinions.
It would be so boring though, if Tattle life was turned into an echo chamber,and we all thought the same
This is a conspiracy theory thread, the clue is in the description, I don't know why some people expect it to suddenly be following the mainstream narrative, or concensus of opinion.
It's a space in which to question things, yet if you question things you get shot down, expect a barrage of criticism, be forced into taking a defensive position, and feel like you (sometimes) have to justify not only every opinion, or thought, but your entire existence.(I mean seriously, is that right)?
Its definitely got a feel of cancel culture/character assassination about it all.
The excuses and justifications that come with it are pretty hypocritical as well (allegedly coming from such caring people?), No we don't have to please people,(sorry for that ) yes we are allowed to have a (different) opinion.
Just because they are not necessarily popular, doesn't mean they are not valid. Such infantile regression to base everything solely on likes, and frankly on being narcissistic and validating only those who think the same.
If some of them don't like a different reality looking back at them (probably a more truthful one) then too bad for them and their fragile ego.
People in glass house's shouldn't throw stones and all that then.
As for caring and showing compassion, those things flow naturally and are part and parcel of a person, not a profile picture or getting uppity with others, or making a donation to a charity, that will probably squander it anyway.
Such performative virtue signalling, says absolutely nothing, except that empty vessels make the most noise.
