Interesting article about current state of Libertarianism. Is it really broken or why they are acting so strange lately?

    Because it was an evolving situation in real life. And the virus doesn’t require my belief. It was deadly even without me believing in it. The fact that you believe that belief has anything to do with it just shows how far off base you are.

      Hm, let’s expand on this. I was living through it since day 1. So for you it was deadly, I didn’t seen that anywhere else then in virtual reality. Life as it was wasn’t affected, even the elders are still living now (80,91,78,82) and I talk with them. What happened wasn’t normal and it wasn’t about disease, there was nothing exceptional from normal life perspective. Only strange think was why did people acted so “strangely” in symultaines way. You won’t see that with any other problem anymore…very strange.

      Can you more expand on it?

        The plural of anecdote is not data, and I lost a family member due to side effects of Covid. If nothing else, all the published data shows at least 500k died, just in the US. I’m glad your “elders” didn’t die (interesting phrasing), but one wonders if it was because of people who were masking up, etc. Were they vaxxed? Did they go to crowded places? Were they still crowded places during the pandemic?

        I don’t believe you’re arguing in good faith.

        Ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for chicken.

          Leninist? What is that? So the covid was Marxist conspiracy theory? 🤔
