    We used to shun people like this. No one would dare spew crap like this, let alone advertise it. Now they have their own little groups to tell them they’re sane, they’re right. People need to step it up and show them their shit is socially unacceptable.

    Break that fucking sticker out with a fucking tire iron.

    “Oh my goodness! That’s going too far!”

    No, it is not. People like this are poison to society, they are hurting us. Their bullshit has to be shoved back in the shadows. Make them afraid.

    It’s kinda like having the lady full of lip filler and botox injections telling us that we shouldn’t inject vaccines because we don’t know what toxins are in them.

    Yeah.

    I mean, people aren’t perfect, they’re hypocritical, but I draw the line at loudly preaching hypocriticism, and would want a chewing out if I was this person.

      I remember a guy I used to work with, when I was drinking cold water he said “cold water is bad for you”. I said “you’re holding a cigarette right now”.

        I had a friend who wouldn’t drink tap water because she claimed it contained parasites, but was addicted to Adderall and nicotine and insisted that American Spirits were “healthy” because they are “all natural”.

    I mean, setting aside conspiracy or whatever clamor we could make about tap water… if someone is already addicted to nicotine, are they just not allowed to get angry at systemic forces anymore? Is that the point of this post?

    Like, if the city government lets some company dump toxic waste into our drinking water supply, are the smokers just supposed to be cool with that? No, of course not, that would be absurd. You’d want smokers and non-smokers all marching on city hall, wouldn’t you?

    You people just want to hate on addicts. Just spare me the fucking soapbox in my inbox please, I really don’t want to hear it.

      They aren’t angry at systemic issues, theyre mad because fox news and info wars told them to be mad.

    An Epidemic of Fear: How Panicked Parents Skipping Shots Endangers Us All (2009):

    Curt Linderman Sr., the host of “Linderman Live!” on AutismOne Radio and the editor of a blog called the Autism File, recently wrote online that it would “be nice” if [rotavirus vaccine co-inventor] Offit “was dead.”

    I’d met Linderman at Autism One. He’d given his card to me as we stood outside the Westin O’Hare talking about his autistic son. “We live in a very toxic world,” he’d told me, puffing on a cigarette.

    It was hard to argue with that.

    What value do George and u/parking_war add here?

    Sorry for being snippy. I do appreciate the post, it’s just funny to me how lately, a lot of memes are three levels of quotes deep.

    Conspiracy theory people pride themselves on “knowing” something that others don’t. It gives them a sense of superiority to everyone else because of that “knowledge”

    Before I stopped drinking, I never mixed coke with my scotch because that sugar water is poison.
