Yeah I loved the divide between "Differences in opinion is the best reason to divorce!" and "But Jesus said divorce is bad!"

The marriage things is seriously a minor trigger for me because I spent many years volunteering at a DV shelter and some of the stories of abuse I've heard would melt your brain so when I see people talking about how nobody should ever get divorced it's pure lunacy. I also had a manager several jobs ago who was in an unhappy marriage and told me some details privately because we had a good personal and working relationship. She worked out of state but flew in quarterly and we would all go out for dinner. I was car pooling with another co-worker who also knew about my manager's troubles and they kept insisting to me during our car ride that my manager should stay married and try to make it work and a bunch of other dumb poo poo that made no sense. I calmly asked her a bunch of questions like "why should someone be forced to stay in an unhappy situation?" and "have you considered that she's already tried to make it work and that there are things outside her control?" and they never had a solid answer for any of them. It was always just vague nonsense about how bad marriages are nobody's fault and couples should just work harder to stay together and no reason was given other than that. Just pure lunacy.

When I was 8 I was waiting in my parents' room with my dad while he got ready for work and we got a phone call at 7:00 am. It was a co-worker of my dad's who told him that her husband beat the poo poo out of her the night before and she asked him what she should do. Dad told her to call the cops immediately and said she should call him back when they got there. I don't remember how that all ended, but I remember dad telling me, "Sometimes people will ask you for permission to do what they already know they need to do." It's true and it really stuck with me. Sometimes just a little bit of support is what makes the difference.

To some degree, the concept of having your spouse beat the poo poo out of you doesn't make any sense, and you probably end up there by having someone gaslight you, so to me it makes perfect sense that when you end up at some point like that you want a reality check.

I used to assume that general calls to violence were also removal-worry, but that seems to have gone by the wayside, especially after January 6th. Just yesterday I saw someone advocate for "a short hunting season on queers", and that comment is still up today.

In Arkansas, a prison doctor gave inmates horse paste rather than actual meds for Covid. Without telling them.  Ironically, this type of bullshit is why a lot of folks don't trust the vaccine. https://www.npr.org/2021/09/02/1033586429/anti-parasite-drug-covid-19-ivermectin-washington-county-arkansas

I believe there was one unreviewed and probably made up study that got put out saying "uhh we think maybe there might be something" and then they jumped on it. Honestly very reminiscent of the whole vaccines cause autism thing.

I can at least understand vaccine hesitancy in immigrants and POC. gently caress me, we did the Tuskegee experiments and a million other war crimes to those folks. I understand why they give anything the government says serious side eye. But I'm pretty loving sure the majority of the anti-vaxx assholes are white bread motherfuckers who "Did the research." That whole dosing prisoners with horse drugs thing should be headline news. Isn't that a warcrime level offense? (But it's prisoners in America, so absolutely nobody will give two shits.)

OwlFancier posted:I believe there was one unreviewed and probably made up study that got put out saying "uhh we think maybe there might be something" and then they jumped on it. It was nearly an exact replay of the whole hydroxychloroquine mess: a preprint of a study goes up showing a big impact when used on COVID patients, people start noticing problems with the study that suggest it is some combination of shoddy/plagiarized/forged, and the preprint eventually gets pulled - but only after right-wing grifters and conspiracy theorists have latched onto it as a possible miracle cure and started talking about it on social media. Those grifters/nutballs then argue that the withdrawal of the study was part of a cover-up to prevent you from learning about the miracle cure, and any further studies that happen to refute the original claim are just dismissed as parts of the cover-up conspiracy.
