What gets me is that many of these people are getting their information from places like Facebook, which has been confirmed time and again to have data security issues and private information leaks regarding their users. Of ALL the places they choose to congregate.
There's a reason why it happens there often, cause people just post whatever and people don't fact-check and evaluate their sources properly. So much stupid shyt gets spread because the only filter that exists is that unless you're commenting in a group or on a page, your experience is largely going to be based on your friend circle (friends list). And we all know birds of a feather flock together, so, good luck.
That's why there's two viruses going around -- COVID, and the lack of critical thought and evaluation.
And this "1984" shyt kills me every time I see it, because as much as they claim they're "oppressed" (
), they've been allowed to post whatever they want largely unchecked unless it poses an active threat to someone or a bunch of people. If it were really that bad, people would be snatched out of bed in the middle of the night over a petty post making fun of Biden. But they hear one person (who doesn't know what they're talking about) saying it, and the next thing you know, that's the new phrase.
It's not even like us vaccinated folks have that much more freedom anyway, considering a new variant comes out like DLC every few months.
