How quickly we've gone from "comply to save just one life" to "laughing at their pathetic graves and funerals."

Like... what the hell? Do we not see a problem here?

Why should I have sympathy for those who have displayed a such reckless disregard for the well-being of their fellow neighbors? The best I can muster is some pity for them falling victim to disinformation. So many of us endured personal sacrifice over the last 18 months to help prevent the spread of covid, and now these people refuse to take even the simplest steps?

The sacrifice flattened the curve. That’s all it was ever supposed to do. But virus is gonna virus.

Yes, that sacrifice successfully flattened the curve. No thanks to everyone who defied lock downs and mask mandates.

Now we're onto the next step: using the vaccine to reach herd immunity so we can be done with this pandemic once and for all. And what do you know? Turns out the same psychopaths that wouldn't follow guidelines before also won't accept the smallest sacrifice of getting the vaccine either

These people are psychotic. Literally, not hyperbolically.

Society is going through a mass psychosis event and people need to seriously prepare to see (or be a victim of) the next major genocide in world history.

It's interesting that this went so viral. I've had two friends independently send it to me and now I see it here. Seems fishy and a lot of the comments under it don't seem genuine. Lots of "I'm sending this to everyone I know" or "the people who need to hear this won't". Bizarre.

Neither of those examples are bizarre. The latter is correct.

The three original videos he produced on the topic are a better example than the cartoonified version:

I've listened to/followed the guy who runs that site for years now. He makes every video himself. I also pay for his members-only subscription.

But do you disagree with the video? It seems pretty spot on to me. People *are* going mad and (violently) turning against each other, and the media and governments are perpetuating it.

Regarding the comments -- that's YT for you. The comments section is always weird.
