i've not looked into this practice, but from short research it seems like an amalgamation of conspicuous consumption & neopaganism.

am i the only one who saw "Wii's more power processors" the first time looking at the headline?

that is still active in the sense of posting stuff, but not in the sense of making a final declaration, just enough news here or there to raise doubt for people who are siloed on that news feed

maybe by confidently focusing on the information & rationales people used to shut down rumors before the war took place while ignoring the preponderance of evidence afterwards.

Vaccination is helpful for disease prevention as an alternative to tighter controls on environment and travel. Keeping the conversation on the level of the scientific fact and statistical likelihood of poor outcome after taking a shot is not, however the real solution to the question. The question of forced vaccinations is a question of trust - in the administering nurse / doctor, in the broader medical establishment, and in the regime / government in power. Where trust is already often lacking and methods of validation and customer advocacy and watchguard organizations are not given the transparency or depth of access needed for validation of supplies and protocol, systematization only amplifies the risk of misuse of the power of patronizing unreliable authority that performs backroom deals that eventually put segments of the population at risk. Consider what it would mean to put your daughter under Larry Nassar's care and hope for the best, even because of all the signs of his expertise and professional authority. Then consider someone of a different racial background than yourself that hates your people, or of a different generation that hates the young / old, or just someone who loves money more than you whoever or whatever you are, having unquestionable access and unlimited authority over what they put into your body without the option for a system of trust and verification that gives you say in what is going over your head. It's not much different in terms of dread than the Holocaust, even if the demographic isn't Jewish. If Darwin is the father of your social science, your applied sciences will gravitate towards endless cruelty.

If you want to be liked, you probably won't be a good leader. If you want to do rightly, you're gonna be hated. Patience and humility, generosity and sincerely pure intention bear fruit after the day is done.
