    Maybe we’re going about this the wrong way. We know what kind of country we live in, a nation of proud, almost patriotic willful ignorance. By design. An laborer ignorant to who is fucking them is a dependable laborer, after all.

    So in the spirit of playing to the audience we have, have we tried rebranding the “vaccines” as, and I’m just spitballing here, Freedom Blessings, Robert E Lee Juice, The Joe Rogan Vein Experience, or the Prove You Hate Commies Test?

      I had a thought along the same lines. I was thinking we should coin the term “immunition,” and tell people it was a way to arm your immune system to defend itself. It’s not even all that misleading.

        I think it has more to do with an authority figure telling them to do something. I think we’d have to distract them like we do children getting a shot. Instead of a toy beer we could use a talking revolver?

          Which is weird, because they love authority figures

            They love authority figures telling other people what to do. Freedom is me being free to do what I want and you being free to do what I want.

      I can find no fault in this whatsoever. Nothing else seems to get through to them, not even death.
