    Oh come on, you have to be less obvious when you troll!

    Yes, I’m sure bashing everyone else who got the vaccine as a brainwashed hypocrite who’s just following trends is the way to encourage more people to get the vaccine. Yes, what a “rational” response to assert that you’re the only person who got it for rational reasons and that everyone else is an idiot.

    Come on, you know as well as I do that none of your comments from the very beginning have been about encouraging anyone to get vaccinated. At best it’s about trying to feel superior to everyone. At worst it’s trying to pick a fight and spread confusion and doubt.

      I’m not though because the vast majority of people are not political hobbyists and they, like me, did not get the vaccine because it was fashionable. They got it because it was reasonable.

      This is not true. But if you insist on believing it, take comfort from the lessons of Kurt Vonnegut’s Mother Night. Even if I’m pretending to encourage people to get vaccinated, it is still encouraging people to get vaccinated. You are who you pretend to be.

        That was absolutely not the impression anyone would get from reading your initial comment.

        Lol that’s not how that works. You’re actively sowing confusion and doubt and attacking people for being pro-vaccine, and then you defend this behavior by saying “actually, I’m pro-vaccine.” I don’t mind the part where you say you’re pro-vaccine. I mind the other part, the part where you’re discouraging people from getting vaccinated.

          They do. Most people are not as irrational and simple as you are.

          Yes. It is. If you pretend to be a Nazi and spread Nazi propaganda, you are a Nazi. That’s what Mother Night is all about. But I actually got the vaccine because like most people, I didn’t want to get covid. It sounds unpleasant. And if you don’t want covid, get the vaccine.

          You’re actively sowing confusion and doubt and attacking people for being pro-vaccine

          You keep insisting this but it’s not true. No one except you and the bots are getting confused about this. Rational humans will never believe that vaccines will make them explode.

          I mind the other part, the part where you’re discouraging people from getting vaccinated.

          I’m not doing that. That’s all in your head, pal.

            Lmao! Yes, I suppose if you simply label all the people who interpret your comment a certain way as “bots” then you can say that anything means anything!

            Yes. It is. If you pretend to be a Nazi and spread Nazi propaganda, you are a Nazi. That’s what Mother Night is all about.

            Either you misunderstand, or you’re pretending to misunderstand.

            If I go around talking shit about people who accept the consensus view on the Holocaust, if I call them all sheep who just believe whatever they’re told, and then I say that actually I accept the consensus view, but it’s because I’m rational and researched it myself, I do not get to hide behind that last part to excuse the first part. If I pretend I didn’t rob a bank, that doesn’t make me not a bank robber. You’re trying to twist Voggnaut’s message around to justify dishonesty.

            Again, I’m caught between the two possibilities. Either you’re a pretentious narcissist who thinks you’re way smarter than you actually are (and than everybody else) and are quoting Voggunaut to sound smart, or you’re deliberately trolling and throwing that out to muddle the facts.

            I’m not doing that. That’s all in your head, pal.

            Oh really! So the part where you had that whole rant about “Regulations are written in blood,” that was all in my head, was it? The parts where you’ve repeatedly attacked “political hobbyists” for getting the vaccine, those were also all in my head? The parts where you’ve called me “psychotic” and a “lunatic” for being pro-vaccine, again, all in my head?

            Fuck right the hell off with your trolling and your attempts to spread doubt.

              It’s not just a label. It’s a logical conclusion. If I’m talking to my neighbor and I make a joke about how eating cookies will make them explode and they begin to seriously lecture me about how there is no evidence that cookies make people explode and accuse me of lying, I’m going to assume there is something mentally wrong with them. Any rational person would assume that. It’s like a Twilight Zone episode. On the Internet, if two or more people are exhibiting the same symptoms, they’re probably bots.

              Fuck right the hell off with your trolling and your attempts to spread doubt.

              Dang. I feel like I’m in an I Think You Should leave skit.
