@Loki i guess my definition of “ok” is interpreting things with incomplete info or bias.
And my definition of not okay is stupid is stupid. You tolerate and advance stupidity one way and you can expect it to come back and proliferate in other ways. I am simply saying those appalled by the stupidity of the Gates thing should study their own possible contribution to the advancement of stupidity in society.
Tu quoque is a tired and unsound internet argument. Always has been.
That’s fine. So we are to be alarmed at a fringe Gates conspiracy theory but take seriously that injecting with bleach is what was meant and rational people might do I’ll just put in the hilarious bucket.
-
And again, terrible false equivalence. Trump actually said his thing. We can argue what he meant but only after we acknowledge that you're saying misinterpretation and just completely making shit up are identical.

NYT: "Bill Gates Is the Most Interesting Man in the World"
Cue another Twitter rant about the failing NYT
-
You realize that if Democrats had their way, Gates would have had 90+% of his wealth taxed away and it would have been used to upgrade Obamaphones to iPhone 11s...
-
40% of Republicans and half of Fox News viewers believe this shit? Seems exaggerated, if the number were that high we would have seen some of the usual suspects here at least flirting with the idea.
But still, fucking hell.

Use covid-19 as a reason or excuse to track?
Or use the actual virus itself to track?
Is that ambiguity is meant to confuse the issue?
Lot's of people want to track everyone and they use the virus as an excuse to do this. And of course they want to use your obamapho, and the chips in it, to do this.
It's some nice ambiguous headline writing, it could inflame people for several different reasons.

We'd also see some of the usual suspects post the survey and sneer at at how crazy the right is.

Sorry - this is objectively bonkers.
Don’t feel the need to circle the wagons with these clowns.
-
Like mask protesters, i feel no need to circle wagons with people I have never personally met. As always, the fringe makes the news and produces the dopamine response in those whose bias that the other tribe is crazy has been confirmed. Include Nazis, KKK, etc in all that. We can agree it's crazy, we don't agree it's meaningful.
-
I would agree with you if the poll had indicated it was fringe. It seems more like the modal FoxNews watcher.
FWIW I have trouble believing the data myself.

Over the last three years how many people believed insane stuff about Trump that was proven wrong the following week and then virtually ignored by the media.
How can you be shocked by this. It’s the Rosetta Stone of your own tribe.

Jon, you're smarter than this. The Left believes Trump said to inject clorox, so you counter with "the right believes Gates is bringing on the mark of the beast, and attack Fox News viewers. To quote Joe Biden... "Come on, man!"
First, you should watch Fox News more yourself. It's the only news media you can trust these days. Second, no, the right doesn't believe Gates is 666.
I expect this kind of silly shit out of Ax, but you know better.

No I posted poll results. The only opining I did was to say that surely they are exaggerated.
