They're more like "that's what you deserve for not being a good person like me, because if you were, this wouldn't have happened to you".
Depends. There's the sort of religious idea that God punishes people on earth, even though I'm pretty sure (for Christianity) the Bible very clearly says that people get judged at point of death. This is not just about general wellbeing: for instance in terms of Prosperity Gospel, it means earthly wealth.

Then there are people who think - and not always in a religious sense - that people should go through adversity because it makes them better people. In terms of religion, that it brings them closer to God. To be fair, to some extent adversity does need to be gone through and is character building, But there's also a point where adversity can be pointless, absurd and/or abusive.

What disease isn't fatal with your definition? The flu kills people, is not getting your kid a flu shot child endangerment?
I would say deliberately refusing to ensure your child's safety because of your belief in junk science or idiotic religious/political views would count as child endangerment. At minimum, I would consider it irresponsible of a parent.



You're really jumping to conclusions on that. If the government recommends something as important and crucial as a vaccine, you know have to look it up because they fucked up big time last time.
Fucked up how? because a bunch of rightwing grifters spread lies that the vaccine was secretly a plot by China to insert Jewish microchips into people's blood? I'm not blaming the government because rightwingers decided their idiotic view of "freedom" was more important than their lives or other people's right to not get sick.


It requires no conspiracy theory to double-check their work.
And yet, it was only the conspiracy theorists that had an issue with the vaccine.


If your a parent, you have to check to see of the covid vaccine got slipped into your child's necessary vaccines, you shouldn't have to do that.
If you're a parent, why would you have a problem with your child being vaccinated against a disease that's killing people in droves?



The new age, all natural lefties.
You don't know what "recently" means, do you?




My fault on the measles, I thought the fatality rate was lower it was. I wasn't talking about small pox, but chicken pox.
Chicken pox can still be fatal.



Good intentions doesn't make something right. And people pushing against the covid "narrative" also had good intentions.
And what, pray tell, were those good intentions?

Sadly if goods don't cross borders, tanks will. Good luck, Canada, it's just the way things are. If we ever head to a war with you, you will face the best military in the world of the 21st century, and there is a non-zero chance you may even face me if mass conscription for all able-bodied but perhaps not able-minded men is a thing in such a war.

I've already heard Americans talking about choosing between seeing their friends or kids dying or letting the fascists win

Everything in moderation. You exercise to keep fit and healthy. If you exercise too much, your kidney shut down and you piss blood

Can't decide if putting this into capitalism thread does disservice or not doing so does so. It's deeply class based, as issues inherently are whether anyone likes/wants them to be or not. Ultimately is about potential eyeballs for matters closest to heart and political relevance, so here it goes. As an aside, the historical retelling film 'Judas and the Black Messiah' is a must watch, even if the video essay isn't of interest.

There are clips of white politician dudes back in the day I can't help notice more seeing them do weird quick lick maneuvers like they're fckin reptiles and in those brief moments I get it, I get where conspiracy theorists may start believing the crazy shit, cos wow they're so sinister when they do that, why they gotta do that lol? Don't answer that, it's probably methamphetamine tbh.

Legitimately unrelated to above video, is just the only positive crumb from the whole freak address the other night that I was definitely not watching at like 4am unable to sleep or relax like an insane person.
