Apologies for taking so long to respond to this, crazy past few days, but to be honest, I don't think to begin to refute the points you presented, I'm not sure I should even bother. But tell ya what, how about we do some role play? I'll play the part of the crazy right wing racist bigoted conspiracy theorist and will attempt to refute these points.


And what's a "verified" source to you? The lies the Mainstream media tells on a daily basis? It's not even conspiratorial anymore, they either get caught saying out loud to other people or just outright say it live since they don't even bother to hide it anymore, and even occasionally getting caught in a hot mike moment. So tell me, why should I believe in what most of the vile stuff the media spews out on a daily basis as true when they lie and admit that they lie and perpetuate bias constantly

And referring to my comment above, one could say you do the same in believing the lies you've been brainwashed to believe.

We've had scientests numerous times throughout the two years saying stuff like cloth masks don't work and that the shots aren't that effective, that you can still catch and spread the virus. 2 years. But it only matters now since the CDC and Dr. Science God Fauci say it. It shouldn't even be called a vaccine. Vaccine's give immunity. This only strengthens your body to the virus, but you can still get it. That's not a vaccine, that itself is just a booster shot to begin with. But forgive me for using logic here.

And again, one could say the same with you since you clearly don't understand what you're talking about.

Can YOU prove the outlets YOU listen to are trustworthy? Not that you THINK it is, but that they don't lie and have been transparent from the start and haven't lied or withheld facts from the beginning? You may say yes, but then that would be a lie, so no you couldn't, even if you say you can. I get snippy because we have people like you spreading actual misinformation and mock those who actually know what's happening with the virus and stuff. You've most likely been brainwashed, are scared, or are just plain stupid. Call Ad hominem attacks all you want, but sometimes the truth is the truth and it needs to be said, and I gave two shits about people fee-fee's a long time ago. You and others constantly talk about others spreading consipratorial nonsense and misinformation when you believe and spread it yourself, which is the typical lack of self-awareness, as in none at all, I expect.

Of course this'll all go over your head, so I'm not giving anymore sources and try not to waste too much of my time after this since it'll go over your head. You and a lot of other people here and in your safe space, happily circle jerking each other off and making yourselves feel superior and mocking people like me who think they don't know what they're talking about because you know the moment you step out of your comfort zone, reality is gonna hit you incredibly hard. I know you and others will write this off as "other lunatic Trump supporter" or some shit, but if you have just one functioning brain cell left in your head, I'd say take heed of this and mull it over, but I'm not holing my breath. Until then, whenever you ask for sources you're just gonna ignore, I should warm people not to waste their time and breath on something that's gonna be a big waste of time that you'll just discredit simply because it doesn't follow your views that you've been falsely led to believe.


Did you get paid or was it free? Well, it's your wife's life but that's not something I would advise others to do.


If you have a brain, use it. See, I can make smart ass responses as well.


Can't relate, since I hate almost all, if not every, extremist group out there. And I'm talking about the actual ones, not ones like when people shout "NAZI" if someone else doesn't agree to their own extreme agenda. Facism and Socialism/Communism, BLM and KKK, Antifa and the like can burn for all I care. WWII vets are rolling in their graves, but not for the reasons you think.

Didn't your prime minister also get caught hypocritically holding a big birthday party bash at the time where everybody was locked down in their homes "social distancing" from everybody else? That could also be a reason why people want to take him down, but that's just me.
Wow, that’s a lot a of words and not a single one actually said anything of value. Get well soon.

Apologies again for the late reply, another crazy, busy week of running around, but honestly I don't' know why I should even bother replying since I clearly got schooled. My whole world view is changed now, but just for the hell of it, let's role play again and once again I'll play as the right-wing nutjob white supremacist conspiracy theorist fascist and attempt to respond back to the deepening and eye opening replies here.

COVID-19 can hit the unvaccinated pretty hard. I'm glad to see you're out of the hospital and okay. :)
Sorry to crush your dreams, but unlike like some people, I do have a life outside here that needs attending you, but thanks for the smile emoji nonetheless! It's appreciated!
A good citizen/sheep would be fine with his behavior.
So you're ok with your overlords not leading my example and just hypocritically doing whatever they want and to impose laws on you and the plebes? Ok, if that makes you happy, but not everyone wants that and think it's fair. You can be a sheep if you like while others fight for freedom and fairness.
Wow, that’s a lot a of words and not a single one actually said anything of value. Get well soon.
Insightful reply. Really. You truly attempted to refute my points and not just try to respond with anything as if you don't have an argument or anything. It's not like you want to see the truth and just purposely ignore it because you refuse to go outside the brainwash you've been suggested to. Here's an idea. if you can't read all of that, get your wife's boyfriend to help you read it.

let's just say the worst part about having covid is not being able to taste chocolate
Literally losing my taste was the most upsetting part. It took way too long for the sense sweet to become normal again.

You’ve not provided anything other than conspiracies and your misinterpretation of articles. I am not going to spend more than a few seconds skimming any wall of text you post because I know it’s just going to be laced with sarcasm, insults, and conspiracies. I am sorry you feel the need to be rude to people, hopefully one day you will realize not everyone is your enemy nor do they want to be.

The irony.
Looked in a mirror lately? I really do think you need some sort of self reflection.

Because you don't simply don't have an argument :) We're not gonna convince each other of anything, that's clear enough. You'd rather believe in actual lies and misinformation you've been told and try to tell me I believe in, when the actual science is out there being suppressed, but you and many others have been conditioned not to listen to. And I don't think everyone's my enemy, just the stupid and selfish ones who want to drag the rest of us down and refuse to change.

We weren't very sick when we had COVID-19 in January of last year, but to celebrate feeling better, my SO and I got Chinese food. I was extremely disappointed to find I couldn't taste it at all, and it was probably the worse part.

I don't like looking both ways when I cross the street because you never know when someone will be driving fast not paying attention. Being safe is not 100% safe, I still have a chance to die

No, I'm not happy with that. But it's not binary.

The sheep are those who follow the conspiracy theories. Being upset with things you have evidence for is different.

It's not "binary"? I'm not sure what you mean by that. Also, it's not so much conspiracy theories when it literally unfold before your very eyes, but why believe your lying eyes anyways?

It's not binary means that you don't have to choose between two view points. So you can't say that just because I disagree with you, that you can make up what you think I agree with. Reality is way more complicated than your simplistic reductions.

If you have been banging on about conspiracies and then reality unfolds, then it doesn't justify all the crazy claims you made without evidence.

In the UK the sheep are the anti vaxers, anti lockdown people etc. The government in the UK are appeasing them and the UK government fought hard against bringing in restrictions, vaccines, masks etc in the first place. They only did so, when reality handed them their arse.

Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't, and you seem to agree but rather still be thick and stupid about certain views you hold. And don't talk to me like you know how reality works more than I do, because I can tell you right now, you don't.
If you have been banging on about conspiracies and then reality unfolds, then it doesn't justify all the crazy claims you made without evidence.
So, even if what you claim are "conspiracy theories" come true and that the people were right all along with the evidence, they still aren't right because you deem them conspiracy theorists? Nice logic there.

Uh huh, because if they didn't find out Boris Johnson was a huge ass hypocrite, they would've continue to impose non-working lock downs the non-sheep people and the sheep who fight for freedom and want to live their life are just nutjobs not to be listened to. The logic you put out is flawless my boy.

The analogy is inappropriate, but I'm sure you've done your best.
The virus is changing all the time, and you need to keep getting new and time untested vaccines that don't give you 100% immunity, and you're not even sure how it will affect your body in the future.

Clearly I do. You angrily posting on gbatemp when it will make no difference is a good example.

So, even if what you claim are "conspiracy theories" come true and that the people were right all along with the evidence, they still aren't right because you deem them conspiracy theorists? Nice logic there.
A stopped clock is right twice a day.

I don't actually think any of your conspiracy theories have come true. You're just overreaching that because Boris Johnson is a liar, that anything you imagine he lied about is true. That isn't how it works, only a sheep would come to such a simple conclusion.

A conspiracy theory isn't something that I claim, it's a particular thing. So if you believe all the governments in the world are vaccinating people as a way of reducing the population and you have no evidence & it's just an opinion that you pulled out of the air. You are still a moron if years later there is evidence of it happening. Otherwise you could just sit there constantly making random claims and making a big deal out of it when they come true (some crooks actually do this for money).

Similarly if you lie, but were wrong and inadvertently told the truth then you were still lying.

Do you have enough of a grasp on reality to understand that?

The vaccines are tested. You can't pretend they aren't to justify your position.
Very few vaccines ever give you 100% immunity. The vaccines don't stay in your body, so what effect do you imagine they could have?

A better analogy is not looking both ways before crossing traffic because it's sunny and you're scared that opening your eyes will cause your retinas to burn & even if they don't burn out immediately then you don't know what the long term effect of opening your eyes is.

Yes I do, and I can see you're still not the sharpest tool in the shed. All the facts and science people love so much showed how the "vaccines" and all these restrictions and mandates won't be the end all of the virus and people still are either too ignorant to notice or too stubborn to admit they're wrong. You just put a lot of words to say, "nOpE I sTiLl rIgHt U wRoNg!"
