Prepare for the Ultimate Gaslighting

[George K]

Shouldn't this be in the "Someone shut this idiot up" tread?

[mark]

Yeah but it's not going to just come from the idiot. He just started it. It's going to spread like a, dare I say it? A virus.

[Aqua Letifer]

Mark, I've already heard from Trumpists online that (1) "the government" is inflating the death count so they can, well, you know, whatever, (2) this infection is actually the common cold, and (3) the testing they're doing is actually a way to track citizens without their knowing it.

"Get ready" for what? It's already going on.

[mark]

@Aqua-Letifer Yes, but it is going to get much, much worse.

Assuming you are right and this will come to pass, what would you have them do instead?

Practice critical thinking.

Practice critical thinking.

This. But I am convinced, that most people do not have that skill.

[Loki]

Why on earth would anyone dwell except for political reasons or some other issue.

[Mik]

No, I am referring to the folks who you believe will be foisting this stuff off on us. What would you have them do? I think folks in this place already practice critical thinking.

[Loki]

You want some critical thinking? 3 years of Russia as the scourge of the planet and so much on Saudi Arabia and not even a curiosity of what China might have just laid on this plaent. Huh?

[Mik]

I just read the whole article and I think it is an enormous crock of shit. We have long known that our supply lines would not stand up to major disruptions like this. Its been discussed here many times how the US is three days from barbarism. You think this was bad? This was merely inconvenient. Wait until someone does an EMP attack on us. THEN you will see how fragile all this is and there won't be talk of back to normal for years or decades.

[LuFins Dad]

You know that people can practice critical thinking, see and recognize your points, but ultimately still come to a different conclusion.

[Mik]

Well, sure. You have the right to be wrong. Feel free to exercise it.

[LuFins Dad]

Sorry, it wasn’t a response to you...

[Mik]

Nor was mine particularly directed at you..lol... I was just having fun.

[Loki]

Let’s just apply we should have known criteria to just about everything that has been said and done by everyone prior to CV and would just be shocking how silly just about everyone seems. Pointing out any individual example is your best warning that an ulterior motive will follow.

Lufin and Loki - y'all need new avatars. This L shit is confusing me.

Mik's right.

If I can do it, so can anybody here. LOL
