Ding!

 

This is related to what I wrote on Feb 20 in post # 32422, specifically in the way that different people can perceive the same reality differently.


Many of us here perceive a socialist-leftist Democrat government as a serious threat to the security of our country, and to the liberty of our people. A substantial subset of that group believes that politicians such as Trump are the solution.

Many on the bad, dumb, ignorant "other side" perceive a nationalist Republican government as a serious threat to the security of our country, and to the liberty of our people. A substantial subset of that group believes that politicians such as Harris are the solution.


Note the similarity here: both groups are primarily advocating in favor of the status-quo, and disagree mainly as to which specific politicians they trust to be their savior.

 

To quote PJ yet again -
“Every government is a parliament of ******. The trouble is, in a democracy, the ****** are us.”
― P.J. O'Rourke, Parliament of ******: A Lone Humorist Attempts to Explain the Entire U.S. Government

 

I disagree here. The conservative/maga approach is far from status-quo. Rhino/GOP, sure. But the current admin no.

But yes in general the left wants to tax everything, pretend it helps the poor, then send all that money overseas and into their personal charities.
The right cries about it, and asks for more donations, and lets it happen -- also lining their own pockets.

 

There are a whole lot of non-doctors in this thread giving input and saying how actual doctors are wrong. Know your place.

 

I don't remember that at all. I wonder if the covid vaccine wiped my memory. This does track though, you think you know better than doctors and I recognize how facts and data work.

 

Know your place here.

ah, the vaccine that enables the virus it's protecting you against to penetrate and infect host cells and gives you a higher risk of developing long covid.

 

Not that most of you in your echo chamber will care, but braineack banned me because he didn't like seeing things that went against the thoughts in his simple brain. Pretty hilarious overall given the context of our country. Just silence anyone who disagrees with you. Hopefully one of the other moderators here can make this right since I didn't violate any forum rules. Welcome to your future!

edit - Here is the message he sent. Poor Scott feels like he was abused. What a snowflake...

Dear JD8,

You have received an infraction at Miata Turbo Forum - Boost cars, acquire cats..

Reason: Staff Abuse

Bye felica.

This infraction is worth 7 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

 

Seemingly embedded in the sarcastic remarks, ambiguous comments, etc. a conversation still moves forward. I think at a certain point, when a person is deemed to lean more heavily on trolling vs discussion continuity, it's not unreasonable. It's always a wonder to me after the past 5 years or so that someone can still declare "TRUST THE SCIENCE (err, know your place you non-doctor)", is rather remarkable.

 

If these are the rules we are using for this thread, then there are many people who need to be banned. Just because you don't agree with what I am saying doesn't mean that I should be subject to different rules. Ironically, that starts to move towards what we would call a dictatorship.

It is always a wonder to me that people with no formal education in medicine think they know enough to tell others what medical decisions they should be making. 30 minutes of reading at www.im-correct.com and everyone thinks they are an expert.

 

Agreed. As imperfect as our current administration may be, they are the only administration in my lifetime that is demonstrably reducing the size of the government.

 

After close review of recent posts from the @jd8 account and the context around them—specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off the platform—we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.

In light of recent events, we made it clear that additional violations of our platform’s rules would result in enforcement action. Our public interest framework is designed to allow people to hear directly from influential figures and leaders. However, this does not mean these accounts are exempt from our policies, including those prohibiting the incitement of violence.

On Feb 20, 2025 | 04:21 PM, JD8 posted:

Shortly thereafter, JD8 posted:

Given the ongoing tensions and increasing discourse regarding recent violent events, these statements must be considered within the broader context and the ways they may be interpreted or used to incite further action. Upon reviewing them under our policy against the glorification of violence, we determined that they violate our guidelines and warrant immediate permanent suspension.

Assessment

We evaluated these posts under our policy designed to prevent statements that could inspire others to commit violent acts and determined that they were highly likely to encourage further escalation.

This decision is based on several factors, including:

• JD8’s statement about not attending the leadership event being interpreted by supporters as a sign that they should challenge the event’s legitimacy and take action.
• The post could be seen as encouraging those contemplating disruptive or violent actions by implying the event will proceed without opposition.
• The use of “POWERFUL VOICE” and “will not be silenced” is being interpreted as a refusal to accept the transition of leadership, potentially emboldening individuals who believe in resisting the process.
• Plans for additional protests and unrest have already begun circulating, including discussions of disruptive actions at key locations.

Based on these factors, we have determined that JD8’s statements are likely to incite further violence and, as a result, have taken immediate enforcement action.

 

I am the science.

Meme drop. Sorry for duplicates.

 

Lol

 

I personally know of two people that got myocarditis from the covid vaccine. They will be on blood thinners and other meds for the rest of their life.

The vaccine was rushed and should only have been offered to those with comorbidities. Healthy people especially children did not have issues with covid. Hindsight is 20-20, but the information about the long-term effects and its efficacy were kept from us. This alone should have allowed us to make the decision about using this experimental therapy.

I think we can all agree that socialism and communism have performed poorly in other countries. They are not a good fit for the USA and not what the majority of the working class in this country want.

 

Sir if you aren't a doctor you can't make statements like this you need to:




From here on out we may only reference peer-reviewed studies that have been approved by both the FDA and the pharmaceutical companies responsible for producing the vaccines in question.

Thank you for your understanding.
