There was a video recently about the history of antivaxx (primarily concentrating on the assfucks that kicked it off, and the complicit media circus around it) and there's basically two elements to vaccine hesitation. You're always going to have people who are antivaxx, whether just in rhetoric or actually in practice. This number grew way larger than before after bullshit former doctor Wakefield completely made poo poo up. Some of this is due to genuine legitimate distrust of the government/corporation that goes back to how a person or their cultural group has a history of mistreatment. You can't really fight this very well as long as governments aren't actually interested in reparations. The other factor are people who are hesitant for whatever reason. Usually it's just osmosis of antivaxx beliefs through society. It's kind of the typical behavior with people hedging their bets. People who don't obsessively believe in superstitions but still try to avoid things that may bring them bad luck if it's not too inconvenient. They fall to peer pressure and in Canada we're definitely going to see some of that peer pressure coming from how a lot of people in the US have their second dose already. Wakefield's bullshit plunged the UK rate of vaccination temporarily before it recovered in the aftermath of Wakefield being exposed as a complete scam who wanted to make money. Unfortunately the fucker went to the US and peddled his poo poo there.

Trump's racism didn't stop him from making big gains with minorities, some of which were directly targeted by his racist tirades. That sort of thing usually does backfire on the racist.

ChickenDoodle posted:I used to have faith, cause there was none anywhere else. Watching the updates got me through the first two months of isolation. But then they started being condescending, and then loving the numbers, and then Horgan won the majority and the mask completely fell off. Same. My sister is a teacher too and we've been really pissed at the BCNDP since before covid but the pandemic just took that to new heights.

Alctel posted:The problem with the BCNDP is that they are kind of lovely but the BCLiberals are maybe the shittiest provincial party to ever exist (or at least the most corrupt). Oh before the BCNDP took power we knew that Libs were just the worst. We don't miss them at all. It's just that the BCNDP has not been the breath of fresh air we hoped for. We know that some things are plain better but with her being a teacher it's basically just hitting home that some things just never change.

God the mask mandates were always important because it gave individuals confidence to say gently caress off to non-maskers.

Sister came home with hilarious news. BC Teachers(/schools?) finally said gently caress it and are disregarding orders by demanding 100% masking... starting next week. Just start tomorrow or something.

The same police who just refuse to stop being absolute poo poo? This poo poo's been boiling under the surface for decades and the warnings were there the entire time. Edit: This poo poo referring to the cops being poo poo in general and much more likely to hurt people who aren't white. Argas fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Feb 13, 2022 |

KingKalamari posted:So, just speaking hypothetically, what countries would one want to escape to if they wanted to flee a far-right uprising? I've heard decent things about Norway and New Zealand... No country is safe from this sort of thing as long as the government remains a slave to capital and wants their population compliant and consuming. And as long as the various police forces around the world don't change, they won't be any real help against the chuds. Counter-protestors are nice and all, especially if they vastly outnumber the chuds but it still comes down to the people in authority taking the side of non-chuds, which is at best a gamble. Money has almost no interest in the common and public good, and as such governments at all levels are usually working against your interests, albeit at varying speeds. TulliusCicero posted:Serious note: I remember visiting relatives in Ontario around London and Sarnia, and seeing loving Confederate flags on some houses This may surprise you but Canadians flirted with the Confederacy quite a lot, and more than a few were welcomed with open arms post-war.

It'll basically take a coordinated counter-movement to unfuck the saturation of complete bullshit that floods all mediums telling people untruths, outright lies, etc. So no, nothing is going to happen, because it turns out there is money to be made in the total saturation of our smooth brains.
