Jacinda - No One is Gonna Miss Ya

Jacinda Ardern, NZ prime minister resigns.

My personal favourite:

Reporter: so youve basically said that there are 2 different classes of people, vaccinated and unvaxxinated, that you will have more rights if you are vaccinated.

Ardern: yes, yep thats exactly what it is (whilst smiling)

We know and reserve the right to know what is good for you whether you want it or not.

@revenant Well, some people are just that stupid. They have to be kept alive by their community. You’re welcome.

@Graylight not authoritarian and fascist in the least is it ?

@revenant Nope. Fascism is the far right. Basically the people you support.

And come talk to us about this when you have a doctorate in immunology.

@revenant No, it's not. As judged by the US courts, and used through US history, as defined in actual documentation outlining fascism and authoritarianism as more than buzzwords.

You're okay with keeping people free of tobacco-induced smoke. You're okay with clicking the seat belt. You're okay trotting off the kids for their school vaccines or taking a medication you can pronounce to describe to help a condition you don't grasp because a man in a coat said to. You're okay with telling people how they should identity. You're okay with restricting others from what you already enjoy. You're okay with mandates against drug users, poor people, minorities and the LGBTQ+

But suddenly you're taking up the horrible and dystopian oppression of the Kiwis, who enjoy higher standards of health, civil rights and political stability. Who enjoy less unemployment and lower inflation per capita. Who enjoy lower rates of diabetes, HIV, tuberculosis and smokers. Oh, and Covid, too.

In New Zealand, from 3 January 2020 to 5:17pm CET, 20 January 2023, there have been 2,114,997 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 2,437 deaths. In the US? 101,873,730 cases, 1,099,866 deaths. The US ranks 7 for case mortality when adjusted for populations. New Zealand? Doesn't even make the list. What a hell-hole it must be.

@Graylight bla bla bla plain gross bullying

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@revenant And that just demonstrates your biggest problem. You refuse to even consider any idiot that is not parroting your own beliefs back at you.

You have no interest in learning or educating yourself. You just want to be told you are right about everything.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow People who feel inferior in the presence of intellect or information often strike out defensively. They tend also to do it when they see anyone or a group enjoying something they don't have. Rather than strive for it, compliment it, try to reproduce it, they simply play the grown-up edition of Sour Grapes. It's a hallmark of low confidence.
