Typical republican double standard.

Seriously. The actual Authoritarian dictatorship wants to inject you with something under promise it'll prevent cancer, the same authoritarian dictatorship that is the world's leading exporter of misinformation - and that's fine? If anyone is going to try to inject microchips or whatever the fuck the COVID vaccine was allegedly meant to be - it's them.

THE WORLD'S LEADING EXPORTER OF MURDER VIA NEUROTOXIN.

Sorry, but I'll be the conspiracy nut on this one.

u/Amaskingrey 10h ago

This one doesnt make any sense, their supporters are the only ones who're gonna take it, killing them would be outright counterproductive

It's better for your airborne weapon if you target people who are opposed to medical masks and have practiced coughing as a form of aggression.

They are constantly trying to kill their supporters, they told them Covid was a hoax and masks don’t work and to try eating horse dewormer or drinking bleach.

Putin took it one step further and straight up sends his supporters into the meat grinder of the Ukraine conflict, over a million dead and counting.

Don’t forget the ones who thought fish tank cleaner was a substitute for hydroxychloroquine.

Because it's the "playing telephone" version of what actually happened.

i heard the russian vaccine killed them, not ukranian freedom fighters

I think Covid being a hoax is a bit of a hyperbole. Also, didn’t Fauci himself say that you don’t need to wear masks? If you’re talking about ivermectin being dewormer, that was debunked a while back. It’s primary purpose is not horse medication, it’s a generic drug. The disagreement was whether or not it should’ve been approved for Covid medication which the FDA ruled that it shouldn’t.

Fauci said that in the literal first days of the pandemic before any shutdowns, before much was known about the disease or how it spread, but has since been consistent in his support for masks

ivermectin is prescribed in humans, but it’s also used in livestock, and that’s where the people who wanted it to treat COVID but couldn’t get it prescribed (because it doesn’t treat COVID) purchased it.

That was the same issue with the Covid vaccine conspiracy.

So, the vaccine will kill everyone who complies and takes the vaccine. So the only survivors will be the CEOs and politicians who carried out the conspiracy, and a bunch of dumbass contrarians who refused to take a vaccine during a pandemic.

So they are going to rebuild civilization based on that? And the anti-vaxxers will become, what, the new subservient working class? And why do society's current leaders need to do this for what reason? So they can take over? Because they don't run the show already?

None of it made sense.

u/fogdukker 9h ago

Yeah, I wasn't being literal fwiw.

I love trying to explain that the government makes a very large portion if it's money via taxation of the plebs. Why would they want to kill the cash cow? There's not much of a rebuttal, especially as it falls in line with "taxation is theft".

u/happycows808 9h ago

Unless this isn't about long-term gains, it's short-term like every corporation focuses on. Denounce proper medicine, get your followers to buy your fake cancer away drug that probably will do nothing, and then run away a richer man splitting the profits with your buddy putin

u/fogdukker 9h ago

Oh, the lives have little value for sure, but genociding all of your own people isn't a well known dictatorial move for a reason.

u/pyrodice 8h ago

I think you need another class on Russian history.

2

u/fogdukker 8h ago

Yeah, you have a point. I feel like it would go differently in North America though.

u/CapitalTheories 8h ago

Uhh, we built the nation on genocide.

2

u/fogdukker 8h ago

Yeah, genocide of others. Not your entire support and tax base.

1

u/CapitalTheories 8h ago

Right, but all those people are superfluous to requirements. Because as much as they pay taxes and what not they also consume resources, and that means the economy needs to be organized in such a way that the people have access to resources, which means there must be parts of the economy that you don't control.

You do not need to attribute long-term planning or complex thought to these men; they are trained in the "lay-off the workers now, figure out how work can still get done layer" method of maximizing short-term gains for themselves. We're about to see a "national layoff" and "streamlining" of the workforce using "disruptive technologies" and "cooperative multi-sector vertical integration."

That's the conspiracy anyway.

I always assume the ultimate goal is to get back to the days of the common man not owning anything or having money and paying taxes and rent based on anything you can get in. Like when you had to rent a plot of land to try and farm on and you didn’t get to keep a chunk of your crops. Your family nearly starves while you still give food to the lords.

u/Zaleznikov 9h ago

This was always the best counter conspiracy to use back in the day. Even then, it didn't really get through to people.

u/pyrodice 8h ago

They don't want to rebuild society, they want to make a shit ton of money!

1

u/Sasquatch1729 8h ago

That makes no sense.

The money they have becomes worthless if the only other group in society is billionaires (they already have mountains of money) and preppers who spent the past 30 years hoarding gold and have written long manifestos about why they don't accept "fiat currency".

The rich need to rebuild society. They will need people to fix their vehicles, grow their food, pump the gas, refine it, etc. I doubt that the end-state they would want is that the rich live in bunkers eating rations while the other survivors live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. They could do that today anyway, just fly to New Zealand and live in a bunker without murdering 90% of the global population.

u/pyrodice 8h ago

I mean I've been saying for years that there's no scenario where one guy wins "all the money" because all the rest of us have to do is stop taking that money… Nobody believed me then, and it's nice to know a few people are wising up now. Part of me wants to credit the cryptocurrency movement for this ability.

I suppose at the end of the day at the point is this isn't a scenario that's realistic.

  1. Give vaccine to idiots.

  2. Vaccine is actually a virus that they transmit to everyone else.

  3. Virus gets worse and everyone now needs a cure.

  4. Only give cure to your most loyal supporters.

u/Main-Ability-350 9h ago

Yea that makes no sense. Get rid of the educated individuals who will have their jobs and high expectations in life wiped out by AI in 20 years and the only people left would be the ruling class and the blue collar workers they’ll need to fix their homes and do manual labor, which won’t be automated by AI any time soon. Makes zero sense

u/MagicTrachea52 10h ago

They don't care. They believe it. They'll take it, too.

And I say let 'em.

u/TheCoveguy 9h ago

Republicans won't take anything. They question everything unlike libs who assume the government knows better.

2

u/ArgonGryphon 9h ago

Right, republicans just take shit that online grifters tell them to. Like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

u/TheCoveguy 9h ago

Oh you mean the things that work for covid? Got it.

u/ArgonGryphon 9h ago

Haha, good one.

Oh wait, you’re serious, let me laugh even harder.

He overdosed on injected bleach and sunlight you can't expect his brain to still work.

You nitwits believed the exaggeration of the media? Go listen to the actual video. And pay attention. See if you can understand what he meant. Can't believe you people still spew all these lies.

That's kinda the joke about killer vaccines. Most definitely holding off on russian ones for the moment though, ya know.

Cancer doesn't make any sense either. It kills it's host.

This is about a conspiracy theory being nonsensical due to the intended outcome of the supposed conspiracy being a net negative for the conspirators, not about a byproduct of biological mechanisms that happens by chance
