Quote HistoryQuoted: I think that qualifies as actually doing something, good for you. Well that's one of you guys now I've heard of that's done at least one thing besides posting on arfcom. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: This isn't my only social media. I don't exist in a vacuum. I voice my opinion on sites that AREN'T republican echo chambers. I write to my representatives, local, state, and federal. I vote my conscience. What should I be doing? Quitting my 10-hour-a-day job so I can go carry a picket sign on the sidewalk in front of the White House? I think that qualifies as actually doing something, good for you. Well that's one of you guys now I've heard of that's done at least one thing besides posting on arfcom. Who are you that they need to appease? |

Doin' right ain't got no end I and many others on this site, were right from day one on this pandemic. Whether through sheer luck, divine inspiration, or common sense, we called it the whole way. We were rewarded with ridicule, hate, ad hominem attacks, and worse. I literally had to carry papers and keep them at the ready for inspection. It's not something which I will ever let die. |

It's sooooo entertaining to watch the knee-jerk responses of "nooooo I don't want to hear about it lalalala" as we unpack what was the largest, most pervasive, hamfisted, and coordinated abuse of human rights EVER. I bet most of these accounts that lapped up and retransmitted years of MSM COVID talking points, and now wish that it all just went away, are people who tried to enforce the masking, isolation, ventilators, lockdowns, and shots. Fuck every single one of you Nazis with a size 14 jackboot. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Holy Crap, this is some kind of mental illness to keep hand wringing over COVID. Give it a f-ing rest. It's hard to give it a rest. I had family members that called me a conspiracy theorist because I had Covid and believed that my natural immunity would be enough to protect me from getting covid again. They all told me to just get the shot. Fauchi said there was no natural immunity. My family said I was selfish for not wanting to protect loved ones by getting the vaccine. If they had just made the vaccine the old fashion way, out of dead virus cells, I would have taken the vaccine. There was no way in hell I was going to take an experimental drug that was fast tracked and not tested. The CDC knew in May of 2021 that the vaccine didn't work and they still pushed it on the population. They still lied to us and said that if you take the vaccine, you wouldn't get covid. They lied to us and they continue to lie to us. I will never trust the CDC or the government again. |

I’m not forgetting the lies friends and family mindlessly accepted and perpetuated instead of asking any critical questions. I won’t forget their responses to understandable critical questions. I won’t forget that even in 2023 there has been no accountability for the attempt at destroying every right possible.
If you really want the conversation to die, then I’m not expecting you to advocate for life, liberty, or the right of anyone to pursue happiness in this country. You’ve chosen a very un-American hill to die on. May your chains rest lightly. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: These are huge issues to me. Massive 1st amendment violations. Quote HistoryQuoted: Discovery in Missouri v. Biden exposed relationships among government agencies and social-media firms and revealed an additional layer of university centers and self-styled disinformation watchdogs and fact-checking outfits. -WSJ Elon Musk's release of some of Twitter's internal files revealed that up to 80 Federal Bureau of Investigation agents were embedded with social-media companies. The agents mostly weren't fighting terrorism but flagging wrongthink by American citizens, including eminent scientists who suggested different paths on Covid policy. -WSJ These are huge issues to me. Massive 1st amendment violations. Yup. Recall all the, “their platform, their rules” and “the 1st doesn’t protect you from private party censorship” types. Of course the feds were calling the shots. The government cannot outsource the censorship and claim it wasn’t them doing the censoring. The socials became a proxy for government propaganda. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Posting on arfcom is never going to put anyone in prison. You're not doing anything. What they are doing is having an honest discussion. When covid was running rampant across the country, people were getting censored on social media for not accepting the government line of reasoning...YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and others were stifling dissent. Arfcom was one of the few social media sites where we could have a forthright discussion of the facts and present the data. I thank the members here for gleaning the data from medical journals, the CDC, WHO, and other sites from around the world and laying it out so people could make an informed decision as to whether they should take the vaccine. Posting the pros and cons of an argument always helps somebody formulate their opinions. |
