Red pill:
Let people who pretend to know nothing about vaccines decide who can get what vaccines
Blue pill:
Let people who pretend to know nothing about guns decide who can get what guns
Red pill:
Let the weapon industry dictate gun policy
Blue pill:
Let big pharma dictate vaccine policy
The pills need to be opposed decisions. Not the same thing with a different industry.

Well in that case, the image is based on the false dichotomy that doesn’t exist of the parties’ policies. Most dems don’t want to remove all guns. They just want to keep guns out of crazies’ hands and some want to limit availability of particular things so any subsequent mass shooter has a harder time just endlessly popping off shots like the Vegas shooter… They do not fail to understand guns.
Ontop of that, vaccines are a very strange thing to put in opposition to guns. I know what you’re trying for, but it is again based in ignorance. Vaccines are a universal good. There is a reason, a good reason, vaccines are required in order to go to schools. Whether the pharma industry works off of capitalistic practices is a wholly separate thing. Just because big pharma is a piece of shit capitalist enterprise should not reflect poorly on vaccines themselves.
It seems like your edit after my reply was intentionally designed to make me look anti-vaccines or something?
And you got upvotes while my thread went from overall positive score to me getting buried in downvotes - that seems like maybe it was because of you making people think I was against vaccines or whatever you’re implying here
How the fuck can you people sleep at night while treating others like this?The edit was to cover an additional point I noticed. Why are you reading so much into it? You’re being downvoted because you’ve put an attempt at a political meme into a science sub, expecting a science community to agree with politically charged topics.
Now you’re jumping to conclusions about why, because surely most people don’t disagree with you!
Just chill out dude. You’ll have a much better time here and IRL.
I really wouldn’t be surprised if the reason it went from above 5 to below minus 5 was because your edit made me look anti vaxx, even if you didn’t do that on purpose (I edit comments a lot too so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt on that)

I gave you the benefit of the doubt over whether your reply edit was manipulative on purpose, but I’m back to thinking it was, because you still haven’t even answered me asking if / how you double checked your original statement about Democrat gun experise
Seems like you only ever replied in this thread in bad faith
It doesn’t take an expert to think, “if they have to reload more often and cannot have easy access to tweaks like bumpstocks, they won’t be able to shoot as much lead.”
This isn’t rocket science.
-
I asked if you double checked your statement, not if you felt like rephrasing how you think it’s OK to violate my rights
-
If it was OK to violate my rights by limiting me to guns that don’t shoot many bullets or something, that would still not justify what’s happening in the real world, where I’m entirely banned from owning any gun at all and also from using many vaccines
-
Even if you didn’t do stuff like ban vaccines and entire gun ownership, it still wouldn’t be OK to do stuff like limit me to shitty guns in a country like the US where the people are supposed to have the right to overthrow the authorities in an armed militia
-
Reiterating point 1: think about how bad of a person you are for making me spend this time typing this, taking the topic so fucking far from the question of how you double checked your statement
-
“Pretend to know nothing” or “actually know nothing”?
The people actually making the decisions are pretending to know nothing when they present people who actually know nothing as their public speaking people.
But also, sometimes the public speaking people are just pretending to know less than they do themselves.
