    Thank you. There is still some sanity left on the internet. This movement was critically important. So cool that you actually saw it!!

        I consider citizens reminding the government or any institution who wants power over others that it is us that allows them to have that power. I am also a huge fan of consumer advocacy because companies also tend to exert power over others - from polluting the waterways or soil to allowing harmful products to be sold to putting employees at risk. I hate bullies and like to see them put in their place. I am in better shape than most people my age, so I do care about health, but I mind my own business and take care of my own immune system and don’t preach to others about their diet or smoking or using tosix cleaners. If you want to destroy your health, your immune system, go right ahead. But, don’t dare tell me it is my fault becasue YOUR immune system didn’t properly handle a virus

            I know more about health and even viruses than most people. Your immune system handles the virus if YOU handled your immune system by making better choices. A study in CA showed that over 80% of people of 2 counties had the antibodies for the virus and yet never got sick - no symptoms. Their immune system did its job - what it evolved for millions of years to do. The other 20% didn’t get the virus yet. Covid-19 is not rabies, but works like the flu. You might feel weak for an hour, a year, or not at all - depending on how your immune system handles it. People have that crappy saying, “well, ya gotta die of somethin’”. Well, jackass, something might be here and if you have a major illness already, something might take you out a bit quicker. oh well. your choice.

              That’s quite the long winded way of saying “i don’t care about anyone but myself”.

                I am vegan and haven’t eaten mammals or fowl in over 30 years. I give rides to many hitchhkers. I care how I chose and don’t have to care for or value what you do. Its called having my own spinal column, You should look for your own.

                  So you probably aren’t human, since you care more about other species than yours. Who cares of people with conditions, who cares about poor people, who cares about fragile ones, who cares about your grandma or your mother or the one friend who will have a bad case of COVID even with completely healthy immune system, right? You don’t have any moral “spinal column”, you are just a egoistic and egocentric person who doesn’t care of anyone except yourself. You are not on any higher moral ground, you’re just selfish. And even as a selfish person, you would make the worst decision about masks and vaccine, since your survival probability are higher if you vaccinate and put a mask on. So, it’s not about control, it’s not about your “freedom”, it’s not about health, it’s about your whims

                    whiners. a generation of whiners. you are one reason i used to gravitate towards East Asian men - most of them don’t whine. Whiny people are beyond irritating, but a whiney man needs to hand in his damned man-card. I am a healthnut who loves logic and objectivity. So, I know that most disorders are self-inflicted - often by decision after decision over many years. If you treat your body (or environment) like a cesspool, YOU dug your own grave and don’t deserve my pity or help. If you lose your car or home, that is bad. But, you only get one body and mind, so if you mess that up…your had the wrong priorities. A 101 year old man got covid and lived/recovered. I don’t care about YOU because I mind my own business. Your #1 duty in life is to care for youself and if you can’t do that, you’ve failed. Just because you lack discipline, doesn’t mean that I should suffer. Believe it or not, I have my own problems that I need to deal with. You handle your own problems, mr. whiner.

              Your immune system handles the virus if YOU handled your immune system by making better choices.

              What the actual fuck. There’s several other reasons for having a weak immune system.

              Covid-19 is not rabies, but works like the flu.

              This is incorrect. The flu is not a coronavirus but a virus of the category orthomyxoviridae.

                your level of stupidity is surprising. a comparison is not naming a category of virus, dipship. i guess the virologist who was on national TV saying exactly what I said is also incorrect. WHY a person has a weak immune system is not my concern. The planet doesn’t revolve around a few weak people. You like science? Survival of the fittest. Evolution kills off the weak. It is humane in the long run. As a whole, sugar, white flour, and cooking/culinary oils are far more deadly than covid-19 - because they are overconsumed. If you don’t love yourself, how do you expect others to love you? Heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are the top 3 killers - and mostly preventable - especially the first two. Do you want those 3 foods I mentioned made illegal or to have warning signs or to be bought only with a license and only in regulated amounts? Your logic is off and you repeat only what the MSM tells you. pathetic.

                  Survival of the fittest.

                  Is an emergent rule of nature, something humanity doesn’t have to abide by since most of us got something called a brain.

                  It is humane in the long run.

                  No it is and will be inhumane.

                  If you don’t love yourself, how do you expect others to love you?

                  So what you want is eugenics, did I get this right?

      hey! I briefly looked for the American version that may go to DC. I need to keep reading, but maybe its easier for you to tell me. Is there still a convoy planned and, if so, when? I gathered that it had to do with written verification regarding how a certain new law would be implemented…had to be in writing. And, i am in Dallas, TX, so how can I find which highway or truckstop they’ll all gather at? It would be fun to see them off since I can’t travel to DC. Maybe that needs to be private, though, so that they cannot be stopped? I don’t have great editing skills or tech skills, but I can edit video a bit. It might be fun to stay in contact with a few truckers from Dallas and maybe I could edit their videos that they send me and upload them to YT, removedute, and Odysee. Just a random idea. I feel the need to participate, but in an armchair-warrior kinda way. I suppose I could also upload to a few social media sites such as MeWe, Minds, Lemmy…
