Fauci's nothing more than a Red hack, a ChiCom/Commiecrat plant.

Most health ministers of the world are the same thing.

I mean, look at them.

My maternal grandmother looks over 9000 times healthier than these Red hacks.

And she's older than all of them.
2 and 3 need to go to the doctors, just looking at them make me worried.

Um, I think the upper center is the Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago, recently denounced racist and person who was happy for unrest and riots to happen until they were in front of her house.

I disagree we are witnessing the end of the american republic the american empire still has not been born yet.
I mean for an Empire we sure haven't been conquering a lot of stuff with the intent to own it in recent memory. Although I suppose we can finally annex Canada like the founders wanted to when we do get the expansion bug itching us
Because an actual American Empire wouldn't benefit the people making the tactical decisions.

Imagine that upon invading third world countries and toppling their dictators, instead of setting up local 'democracies' which inevitably collapsed the millisecond that the American military occupation stopped propping them up or failed because it turned out that over fifty percent of the population genuinely wanted a theocratic hellhole and voted accordingly, America adopted the roman model of 'give the legionaries a share of the land they fought to conquer.' This would mean the possibility of upward societal mobility for plebeians. Join the army and attack weaker foreigners, become a landowner, then either exploit said land yourself or sell it to an oil company. The wealthy and powerful would hate that, they want their debt slaves. Furthermore, it'd mean that there'd be a motive to end the war, people wouldn't want their land being attacked, so they'd make rules of engagement optimized to end the war, rather than to prolong it indefinitely. This would mean the end of the perpetual marketing campaign for the military-industry complex and supply of foreigners radicalized by having their homes invaded and families killed to carry out terrorist attacks against American military and citizens, allowing American politicians to justify increased domestic spying and authoritarianism.

Either do imperialism properly or go home.
 
VICE news cringe roundup:


They...do realize that not everyone who believes in the satanist rulers conspiracy theory likes qanon, right? In many cases it’s surely the opposite. And LMAO that a small percentage of people watch cnn or msnbc and also believe it. That libtard reverse q slandering is getting results.

Additional indicators of a higher likelihood of QAnon beliefs uncovered by the survey include being a man, earning a lower income, being younger, and living in a rural area.
Now I KNOW this is a lie! The usual stereotype is that q people are boomers. Now you say youth is an indicator. Which is it, lib pollsters? Once again, people who believe this stuff aren’t all qtards.

Mark’s focus then shifted to listening to Alex Jones' “Infowars”.
This quote is funny because Jones had some viral moment where he rebuked q-ism. Yet if he was being real and not just playing a character as his lawyer once claimed in the newtown defamation case, he’d admit that his show kinda sorta laid the foundation for accepting Q claims. In fact he even did an interview with Mike flynn a day before the 1/6 rally. What were you doing by engaging with Flynn-a Q protagonist, if not trying to pander to qtards, Alex?

The majority of the QAnon believers we spoke about were in their 50s, 60s, or 70s. The vast majority were white, and over half did not identify as QAnon supporters—even as they spouted, verbatim, the conspiracy theories boosted by QAnon..
Again, not all fringies follow the same “true story” also this article contradicts the other one quoting the survey that says youth is an indicator of q belief. Nice job vice.

This Wuhan Lab Leak "Conspiracy" is claiming many clowns.

From the New York Times:


The Washington Post:



And so on... Geez... I hope this doesn't damage the credibility of America's newspapers of record... 🤡

Oh I know right? That would be terrible. Catastrophic even.

Meh; the only people who trust sources like the Washington Post anymore are either so gullible they'll believe anything so long as it's relayed to them by someone who looks authoritative, or they're so superficial that they just want something to confirm their pre-existing biases.
I wish that were the case but speaking as someone who lives in the prime market for the Washington (Com)Post, it's much more complicated than that. The Washington Poat still has an overall very positive reputation in the DC metro region, and its not gullibility that drives people to believe what it posts, but rather a more complex set of social pressures, legacy prestige, and trust of authoritative sources.

You might want to say that can be summed up as simply "gullibility" or "confirmation bias" but it's really not. When the majority of the local elites and many of the visible social organizations have adopted a progressive worldview, going against that viewpoint becomes a for of social suicide. The region used to be more balanced, with the Maryland DC suburbs being the realm of the Progressives and Virginia DC suburbs the realm of the Conservatives, but the massive influx of progressives spurred by the Obama administration and the fact that for youngsters and families with children Virginia was a much more appealing location to move to over DC or Maryland (due to better schools, lower taxes, and cheaper real estate) you saw a fairly sharp swerve left in the VA DC suburbs (that has also dragged the state left...). This also means that many of the social organizations, businesses (which tend to be involved in government contracting... and you've seen how heavily Obama politicized the federal bureaucracy) means that upwards social standing in the region has become more and more tied to espousing the right political viewpoints. This has percolated down to the middle class of the region, to the point where someone like me, in social circles I've been in since the 2000s have had to go from being able to espouse my very mainstream Fusionist Conservative viewpoints to having to keep my mouth shut lest I be ostracized... and even THAT wasn't enough for a group of friends I've been involved with since college in the 00s to not ostracize and stop talking with me when one of the circle decided, in their mid 30s, they were trans...

And I watched as these people, who were all trans skeptics back in college, have gone about affirming trans identity while simultaneously demonizing those who disagree with that ideology, signaling their support for this person and trans politics in general while quietly no longer communication with me... and even before this, within that group I was the one who was consistently told to not talk politics, to not bring up politics, as to not cause problems. Meanwhile the leftists in the group would constantly off the cuff mention politics, espoused their hatred for capitalism, or throw out the latest hot take of the left and while they would get a quick glare from some, the "let's move on" line that invariably came up would be directed at me, even if I'd said or done nothing.

That is the level of social pressure people experience in the region. To be willing to go against that takes more than "not being gullible" or "not confirming preexisting biases", it takes someone who genuinely has a rock solid foundation of belief and understanding, and the emotional strength and support necessary to be ostracized from their closest friends of decades...

Thus, people will continue to echo and believe the Washington Post... as to do otherwise will make them anathema.
