They've got it in apple flavor? Well hell, now I want some!

That’s the iVermectin. Just wait for the ‘Unleashed’ Apple Event!

Whoever gave the link to that reddit page "HermanCainAward" thank you! OMG, I'm just blown away at how stupid people are.

Good riddance. One less Trump voter.

Sorry but some of you are fucking sick.

Everyone who dies is someone's parent, child, spouse, sibling, grandparent or other loved one. Just disgusting.

Attack away. If you think this is acceptable then I really don't give a rat's ass what you think.

I would never celebrate one's death. However, it's also hard to mourn them when they are making deliberate and calculated decisions to avoid a vaccine that would've prevented every single one. These people have always taken them for other things without question, there have been 6.6 BILLION (with a B) given and we know it's safe and effective. They are risking death for a stupid political view, it is on them to a degree and it should make us all sad.

Just a side note, one would hope you are this passionate about the families of people like George Floyd losing one of their own, who was a son, a father, and loved by his family. I'm sure you were though, feel free to share that with us anytime and put me in my place.

I don't give a flying fuck what you think. I said what I said. Sorry Not Sorry.

These Trump supporters are some of the worse human beings you'll ever meet, but they sure are good at playing victim.

I said I don't give a crap if they die or not BECAUSE ITS ALL ON THEM. There are options out there but they choose to be ignorant. It would be different if there were no vaccine available or no options. What do conservatives love to say? "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes?"

I looked at that HermanCainAward reddit page and almost all of them had the same story.

1. The person posts meme after meme calling people sheep and all kinds of names for taking the vaccine. Joe Biden is this. Liberals that. Just stupid uneducated meme after meme. Facebook fake news memes. The whole works.
2. Then they get sick and all of a sudden "Covid is no joke people" *post selfie from hospital bed*
3. Followed by a relative posting that so and so passed away and how good of a person they were.
4. Me laughing at them saying how good of a person so and so was after seeing all the crap they posted on facebook that said otherwise.

Like I said, good riddance. I don't care if anyone here agrees with me or not. I live in Texas. I am surrounded by these idiots on a daily basis. I don't play nice with these people. They don't. Trump supporters like to poke at the bear and poke and poke "fuck your feelings" ect....and then when you attack back all of a sudden you're classless and aggressive. I don't play that game.

There is a difference between not mourning their death and outright celebrating it. Yes, the death is on them and you can assign that blame, but to celebrate it, especially because they might vote a certain way is just wrong.

I would find it hard to mourn someone I didn't know or follow. I would think about their families, but no I wouldn't have grief over it.

And yes, I felt for George Floyd's family. Especially when it was on TV all the time and they kept having to see it. And I certainly didn't celebrate it.

@P_X accused me of being a coward because I didn't answer a post in the allotted time. I wonder how many people here have the guts to call this out as disgusting behavior.

I truly hope none of you experiences a loss and then have someone celebrate it.

Rather than bringing up the same lame point every few pages, why don't you go back and read the replies from the last time you brought up this same topic. It might save us a bit of time not rehashing the same crap over and over.

I said “good riddance”. I didn’t say I celebrated. I’m not out buying a celebratory cake every time an antivax person dies. I’m not doing a happy dance in my living room. I just no longer care.

After almost 2 years of this crap because some people choose to believe in conspiracy theories, I no longer care what happens to them. If they want to play games with their life that’s on them. Don’t expect me to feel sorry for you or donate to your go fund me page.

My wife always says "well, it's their own damned fault then" every time it comes up on the news. I never go that far personally but I do get the sentiment. It's like running around on a busy freeway, if they do it and get hit by a car how many people would be saying "oh that poor person". 99.9% of these people are from the party of personal responsibility but are acting like spoiled children. It's really hard to have any sympathy for them.

And the same people that hate ObamaCare and are against Universal Healthcare because it’s “socialism”, are all needing GoFundMe pages to get by after. These people have no idea how much they vote against their own interest.

The party of personal responsibility asking for donations when shit hits the fan.

I was the one who shared the subreddit here. I visit the subreddit regularly and it makes me incredibly sad every single time. TBH, I found the HCA starter pack distasteful. However, it's important to put things in perspective. These people actively partook in spreading disinformation, largely died because of their pathologically lacking insight, and caused grief (literally) to their loved ones in the process. They also waste resources that could be spent on less preventable healthcare utilization, and greatly contribute to the burnout of healthcare workers, who actually cry when one of these people die... SO if this subreddit convinced only 1000 hesitant people to get vaccinated, it already saved a life.

In contrast, there's a person here who regurgitates propaganda from the same sources these HCA awardees took their ideas that killed them, and actively tries to convince people of extremely inflated vaccination risks, overcalls the number of antivaxx doctors and nurses and tries to normalize their behavior. Well, a person like this does not have the moral superiority to judge others' response to the HCA subreddit.

Certain people like to use a term for this phenomenon: virtue signalling.

And they were all preventable deaths if they weren’t so stupid and did one simple thing instead of trying to “own the libs”.

No one is celebrating any one’s death. But it’s really fucking hard to have any sympathy for these morons. They are the reason this pandemic isn’t over all because they’ve tied their entire identity to a political belief and fallen full hog for all the conspiracy theories. Not to mention they mock and insult people who got the vaccine and are all around pretty nasty people. Sorry but I have zero fucks to give for these people.

Well I don't know what "Good Riddance" means to you, but to myself and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary it means:

—used to say that one is glad that someone is leaving or that something has gone

In this case it is a someone, a human being, who died. And you're glad to be rid of them because they voted in a way different from what you find acceptable. Disgusting!

Sympathy is not required and assigning blame is fine. Being glad about it is the difference.

Ok, so they are stupid and paid the ultimate price for it. And so did their loved ones. It is what it is and nothing is going to change it.

But as I said earlier, being glad about it because they voted for Trump is ..... I will refrain from saying what I really want to say.

Trust me, it is certainly not virtue signalling.

Or it could simply be I am against it because I had to fight with Medicare to get my mom into a rehab facility with a broken leg. She couldn't walk, yet Medicare didn't want to cover the rehab. @Eric had to fight Medicaid to get what his mom should have been entitled to. It isn't about socialism, it is about quality of care.

Virtue signalling is a pejorative neologism for the expression of a disingenuous moral viewpoint with the intent of communicating good character.

Virtue signalling may be thought of as a form of moral grandstanding, in which a viewpoint or answer is calculated to "look good", thereby making the object or speaker appear virtuous to others, rather than being chosen because it is strictly honest.

A lot of the stuff these people are posting is disgusting. They are horrible shitty human beings and then after they die people have the nerve to post how great they were. Sorry, but the lie detector determined that was a lie. They post the most horrible things and then people are like "OMG, Billy Bob was such a great person" Meanwhile his profile picture is him with the confederate flag(Racist!) and a facebook template that says "I don't care if you got your vaccine" or "I have an immune system" Yeah, how did that work out for you?

I'm sorry that you're offended that I don't care about them.

Think what you want.

But the poster who made the comment in question is "communicating horrible character." What I post about it doesn't change that, does it?

 

[ronntaylor]

Some of the more prominent assholes celebrated when others died (I recall a radio asshat that would play "Another One Bites the Dust" while reading the obits of AIDS victims). Many of them spread COVID-19 and probably wound up killing others because of their intentional acts. So good riddance to them. Folks who like to use "Play stupid games..." roulette are hypocrites in this instance of whining.

I don't care that you don't care. That completely misses the point.

You said:

Good riddance. One less Trump voter.

Your words indicate you are glad a Trump voter is DEAD! And that makes you a horrible human being.

And for those who think I am just virtue signalling like @P_X, many of you have read my posts here and at PRSI for years, have you ever seen me go after a poster like this? No because I don't do it. I take a lot of crap from many of you and I don't react like this. It is just that this one just hit a nerve and I am sorry for those who don't want to be involved having to read through it.
