(it should really be called fight, flight, or freeze response though)

Fight, flight, freeze, faint, or fuck.

Colour me curious: how many times have you fucked something provoking a fight or flight response?

I want to read that but there are some good points mixed in with so much batshit insane nonsense I just can’t. You see the same things I do but come to some really bizarre conclusion not at all secured in reality.

Like, there’s a big disease going round, and they develop a vaccine to make it less serious… but the people pushing that are trying to steal your DNA and replace you with clones or whatever… but you should also take your vitamins and eat your greens, exercise, drink water… but that’s okay, nobody is molesting your vitamins or veggies, despite it being standard nutritional advice for decades, and the same Transhumanist Nazi mad fuck government controlling the water standards.

I just don’t get why some things are nefarious but other things are not.

Fear doesn’t paralyze everyone though. It’s called the fight or flight response for a reason (it should really be called fight, flight, or freeze response though) and I just need to point to the events of January 6th as a good example of that. Trump and his minions stoked the fear that people were having their future stolen, which resulted in a violent storming of the center of government.

When was the last time you could have a real Manhood?

There's a childish joke here somewhere but I can't find it. Argh.

“The last time I looked down mate.”

I have ignored everything between MtF’s post and this one.

Except the pyrophilia. That sounds… unwise. Something you could probably only do once, depending on the manifestation.

There’s also a character in a Tartan noir novel I’ve read a few times who, now knowing this appears to be a thing, is a pyrophiliac.

Individual decision-making doesn’t work so well in a societal setting though.

My wife got Covid because somebody thought the sniffle they had wasn’t serious so went to a small gathering, which, had my wife not seen her vulnerable (in the Covid risk group sense) parents prior to that, could have killed her parents.

Equally so, despite my own behaviour being risk averse (I went to work masked, with masked co-workers and customers, masked grocery shopping, staying at home whenever possible) that resulted in my getting Covid, because I wasn’t masking up at home.

This is multiplied many times because Covid restrictions were politicized (YOU CAN’T DESTROY THE ECONOMY BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE AT FURTHER RISK CULL THE WEAK CULL THE WEAK CULL THE WEAK) which meant supporters of certain political parties paid little attention to everyone else not being selfish - really, wearing a mask is not a big deal, staying away from other people is not a big deal, and staying inside in this time of global communication is… less of a big deal - so it spread despite the best efforts of the advice from authorities.

Really, locking everyone’s door for 2 weeks was the extreme, and doing nothing was the other, something in the middle was done, so don’t talk nonsense about herd mentality being about absolutes.

Did you have to build the phone yourself?

I mean, you’re saying countries that have regular elections to change out the supposed fascists are also forcing vaccines and lockdown measures on people that are regularly protesting against both. Of course if we agree with these “propaganda” measures - in spite of the regular coverage of people who actively protest against them - we’re just sheeple who don’t think enough.

Then you suggest that the governments involved in these measures assassinate members of foreign governments who don’t toe the line, which is why, of course, the entire Republican Party in America has been eliminated, and the 99 rebel members of the Conservative party in the UK that voted against bringing back these measures have been disappeared - never mind that the measures had been stopped for months in the first place which flies in the face of what you’re saying.

Then some shite about consent, which doesn’t even make sense philosophically. “You never gave consent to the truth” doesn’t work on absolute truth, which doesn’t care if you consent because it just is, or relative truth, which doesn’t matter if you consent because your truth is not the same as someone else’s truth.

All (except the consent part) requires a conspiracy which involves literally thousands of people from different nations each with their own mutually exclusive drives and motives to have cooperated without even one person dissenting for an entire two years.

I also realize this is an entirely pointless exercise, but you act as though I’m arguing in bad faith about this, but I suppose I want to see what you say next.

It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion, and I hate myself for indulging in it. I’m better than this, but fuck it the Christmas season is horrible and misery loves company.

I’m glad things look to be on the up for you Baal.

A new genome? That’s a new one on microchips.

Also, subservience to what?
