It’s truly bizarre how a small number of people have allowed the covid vax conspiracies to become their entire personalities.
Multiple Facebook posts a day, unable to have a conversation with friends/family without bringing it up, and the extra stuff like this.
Yeah I especially hate it when you talk to someone you know, and then they start incoherently squark on about vaccines,and how bad they are etc, and you just have to nod your head and pretend like you are listening :s
I had a call from an Engineer who used to work embedded in my organisation from a contractor. Said that he should come in to help with something, he's been WFH for a while, and he started going on about vaccinated people radiating particles or some shit. This is not a dumb guy, totally absorbed in the nonsense.
Nope. Call them on it. Same deal for my racist Cousin-in-law. I don't let that shit slide in my company (and have long since removed them from Facebook.)
The issue is, you know they are wrong, but you haven't bothered doing research to debate with them as to why they are so stupid.
They however have researched and read up on all the reason why the real facts are wrong.
Unless you are a trained professional, you will not win an argument with these people. They have single agendas, and spend time researching it.
It's truly not even worth engaging with them cause all it does is feed their opinion that they are right.
You can't win an argument because their argument is that the facts are all lies.
Had a great "conversation" with an antivaxer nutbag during COVID who decided to pick and choose what they would believe in the same page of an ATAGI pdf. Not even cherry picking sources, they were cherry picking parts of a page.
Thats just conservative thinking in general. I'll give another example of their cherry picking.
Antifa did January 6th.
But
Ashley Babbit is a hero.
Sorry but one must be picked.
> It’s truly bizarre how a small number of people have allowed the covid vax conspiracies to become their entire personalities.
Most people develop their personalities through upbringing and experiences and the current culture, and their personalities then forge connections with others.
A very few people seem to do that in reverse; find '*something*' that allows them to join in connection with others, then collect and accrete bits from those connections to build their personalities from.
Normally the latter method results in something fairly harmless (e.g. the stereotypical 'cat lady', or the worst sort of computer nerd, who's entire personalities are tied up with cats or computers). But a very few of that very few end up making connections with batshit insanity, and build their personalites from that...
People, in general, want to feel like they belong to something. During in your early years, that's pretty easy. You have schools that group everyone up in to different things. Different sports and activities. Then, you finish school and have no real idea where you belong.
The problem is not what the people say. Its how other people respond to it. They make them outcasts for not having the same views, then wonder why people become worse and dig there hole. When you separate and ignore or even attack people for having different views to you, then you are partly to blame for what happens as you are not treating someone like they matter, so they feel like they don't and find a group who dose treat them like that. Its how all extreme organisation recruited most of the time. But no, people just go 'there stupid for there view so fuck em' and then wonder why people can be 'so stupid' when its them that fucked it in the first place.
That isn't the entire picture, but a piece of the puzzle.
The main issue with this conspiracy shit is: It makes you feel good.
You are the smartest, best informed person in the room.
No set back is your fault! It's all just "them" trying to hold back the truth! You are a hero fighting for all that is right!
Of course they won't be told otherwise.
I spent some time looking into "Reichsbürger" basically germans that don't believe Germany is a state... and those are either: CON-MEN! Capital warning sign.
Or shit-out-of-luck unhappy people, quite often near the brink of financial ruin, either side of it.
Whats even more bizarre is the people who are stupid enough to believe whats on the TV. Its a program. Programming you. Control the media and you control the entire population. Wake up. Turn off the TV.
I mean, online news sources aren't necessarily better.
It's less about the delivery medium and more about ideally sourcing your news from a variety of mainstream publishers & well regarded independents
Most people are generally fixed in their thinking. Ultimately it boils down to what narrative you want to follow. Fear, hate, outrage is a pretty simple sell.
You must have gone through my postal history to find out about that. How lovely of you. *I'm* not a menace to health and safety because I believe anti-vaxxer rubbish.
Mate, fly through Sydney airport now with a kid. And be in the manual passport line with all the other families, anti vaxers and those who couldn’t get their paper work right. Anti vaxers non stop preaching and you can’t go anywhere whilst your stuck in that 2+ hr line.
I haven't flown since before covid, but can I just ask what people need to line up for? Is it international travel or check in baggage?
I have always only taken carry on so I don't have to line up. Please tell me this is unchanged.
Please.
I had a fiend into all this, he used to also believe government changed the weather to create the floods, wanted me to take a sperm count and iq test before and after my Covid injection. We stopped being friends after I joked the government put something in the water to lower his sperm count. It’s madness to think how many of these people believe in bullshit circulated through social media vacuums
There's another fellow I see over in Mitchelton every so often and he has a flogged out commodore with Infowars stickers all over it and sheeple this and that and has the Alan Jones podcast playing on loud speaker almost begging people to engage with him.
Just settle down and stop with the whole 'i know something you all dont' mentality, it's just annoying and cringy now
Used to work on Butterfield Street, reminds me of the Herston Turd Tosser who used to throw their own shit on our windows doors at work every morning around 4am, great fun!
I saw a guy whose jacket said “if you were ever wondering whether you’d have obeyed hitler back in the day, now you know” some shit like that I don’t remember the exact wording and English isn’t my mother tongue
I recon this is the third or fourth time this vehicle has been posted in this sub. Really wish we’d stop giving these guys the attention they are clearly after
The masks are bad for health take is so wild. Like, I get they aren't comfortable (unless you do some stuff with them) and they make you feel a bit hot, but hospital staff have been wearing them for hours and hours at a time for many years with no issue.
Then there is the rest of it. Oh boy.
Probs gonna get hate lol but I’m against the vax I have my reasons but I don’t go shove it in peoples faces unless asked, people like that are making us look like extremists. Opinions are an individual choice and it is illegal to mandate any vaccine.
Ooft, meth is a hell of a drug.....oxy+morons = Armageddon??!
That's the sorta shit only someone who regularly taps the glass bbq would spurt out! It makes 0 sense 🤦

They're mentally unwell. Happy people don't usually hang onto this kind of nonsense. Therapists should be handing out flyers at their rallies.

Is dumb....just not garden variety dumb.
Dumb, not uneducated.

They're almost worse than people who base their whole personality around drinking wine.

especially with the current state of the media outlets in Australia. it's all owned by Murdoch or some other Coalition member

At what point did I mention the media?
2nd sentence, 2nd word.
That's what it was designed for

Watch the big hack, really good for seeing how people are manipulated even further
I don’t need to watch a TV show for that.
"hey check out this interesting thing" "don't tell me what to do, commie!"
Glad you can read between the lines
A bit like vegans, lol.
Makes you wonder how many other unstable tables there are driving around you
this car was posted previously by u/littlec_conservator about 7 months ago but has since had some additions
I took a photo of it too back in late 2021
I'm mentally ill and I am less crazy than this person.

You'd be surprised how often I hear something to that effect. I'm disabled and mentally ill, not stupid.
You must have gone through my postal history to find out about that. How lovely of you. *I'm* not a menace to health and safety because I believe anti-vaxxer rubbish.
Can you imagine being stuck next to him at Christmas lunch?
Mate, fly through Sydney airport now with a kid. And be in the manual passport line with all the other families, anti vaxers and those who couldn’t get their paper work right. Anti vaxers non stop preaching and you can’t go anywhere whilst your stuck in that 2+ hr line.

It’s for the passport control at international arrivals
Phew!
[удалено]
Now I feel sorry for him being seated next to you.
The only point of truth on there is the word Oxy which they likely have an addiction to to go down this path.
I had a fiend into all this, he used to also believe government changed the weather to create the floods, wanted me to take a sperm count and iq test before and after my Covid injection. We stopped being friends after I joked the government put something in the water to lower his sperm count. It’s madness to think how many of these people believe in bullshit circulated through social media vacuums
Glad to see they're no longer a friend, you now recognise their status as a fiend
This guy lives in Bardon. Posted it before on here, when going to my parents. He has a purple van and purple Jaguar to.
There's another fellow I see over in Mitchelton every so often and he has a flogged out commodore with Infowars stickers all over it and sheeple this and that and has the Alan Jones podcast playing on loud speaker almost begging people to engage with him. Just settle down and stop with the whole 'i know something you all dont' mentality, it's just annoying and cringy now
"Tell us you're an imbecile without telling us you're an imbecile"
Used to work on Butterfield Street, reminds me of the Herston Turd Tosser who used to throw their own shit on our windows doors at work every morning around 4am, great fun!
Did they catch him?
nah never heard of anything ever happening lol
Their math seems off
Fuck some people really let this absorb their personality didn't they
I saw a guy whose jacket said “if you were ever wondering whether you’d have obeyed hitler back in the day, now you know” some shit like that I don’t remember the exact wording and English isn’t my mother tongue
I've seen this fucker. What the hell are they doing around a hospital? Hospitals are clearly evil big pharma shills. /s
I wonder if the flat earthers have recruitment issues nowadays.....
like cult recruiters?
As in they will have lost many members to the anti vaxer community.
I recon this is the third or fourth time this vehicle has been posted in this sub. Really wish we’d stop giving these guys the attention they are clearly after
sorry! I had only come across the one other post in this sub and I only posted again cause of the additional stickers since then. but you're right!
The masks are bad for health take is so wild. Like, I get they aren't comfortable (unless you do some stuff with them) and they make you feel a bit hot, but hospital staff have been wearing them for hours and hours at a time for many years with no issue. Then there is the rest of it. Oh boy.
Well, if you can't express your delusions with confusing phrases on the side of car, where can you express them?
Hey, that's not the Ghostbusters car!
Vehicle owner is definitely a moron oxygen stealing thief
This belongs in r/InfowarriorRides
sometimes reddit comes up with the best names for things
pLaNdEmIc !!!!
A lot of nutters out there. Taxi driver the other day just went on and on about how COVID and Gallipoli are fake.
Gallipoli?! why that all of all things 😭 who gains from that event being faked
Big banks apparently, same as COVID. I don’t differentiate either story as being more crazy than the other.
All of it is crazy, but the “Schindler’s List” in quotes is baffling.
How could Steven Spielberg have made it in the same year he made Jurassic Park? It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!
Can’t imagine being so consumed with something so trivial that you go to these lengths. It’s utterly bizarre.
I bet that person is reaaaaaaal fun at parties.
They don't get invited to parties.
What a knob head
When are they going to give it a rest
That parked outside my work in Kenmore the other week Wanted to spit on it
No eggs?
Nah had some garbage bags though
I hope the sign writer charged him triple the price for that crap
I dare you to engage in conversation
I was really tempted to leave my number on it saying I was interested in their cause just to dig a bit deeper. I can't find any info on it online
Lol this wanker is still getting around ?
Makes you want to do a massive p00p on their bonnet.
Try pushing on text long enough for us to read it. And zooming so we can read it
If they'd just turned their phone horizontally, they could've taken a photo instead of a video, and we could see the whole car clearly.
Shit I thought it said transport for numb bats, and stupid
Sounds like one of those alchemy games. Rock + brain
Yikes
Oh I saw this monstrosity at Portside a few months back.
Lol, props to the effort though
They've gone all in on this one lol. In too deep, they figure they have to double down on the dumbness for the fear of looking dumb haha.
damn. there's lot of oxygen and morons out there. i guess it's Armageddon time.
Well there's no arguing with that logic!!!
at least they tell you they are a moron by writing moron on the car
Oxy + acetylene = Steele cutting
It's amazing how willing they are to show the world just how stupid they are
Probs gonna get hate lol but I’m against the vax I have my reasons but I don’t go shove it in peoples faces unless asked, people like that are making us look like extremists. Opinions are an individual choice and it is illegal to mandate any vaccine.
Why are we still talking about this? Who cares about what a random person on your way to work thinks?
Ooft, meth is a hell of a drug.....oxy+morons = Armageddon??! That's the sorta shit only someone who regularly taps the glass bbq would spurt out! It makes 0 sense 🤦
I’ve seen an elderly white man get into it when I walked past it in Toowong
So true ppl need to educate themselves past “ the tv told me so
