Could you not make the same argument about many politically divisive questions? Medicare for all, climate change, etc.

- sp332 7y agoYeah, politically debatable questions seem much more defensible to me than this. This is a straight-up lie with no benefit to anyone.
- de_watcher 7y agoYou can't easily separate "straight-up lie" and "politically debatable questions". There are tons of "straight-up lies" used for creating questions, making them "politically debatable" and then acting violently.
- nailer 7y agoA couple of months ago the idea that Covid 19 would become a worldwide epidemic was a conspiracy theory.
- de_watcher 7y agoIt goes both ways.
- mullen 7y agoThat is a silly question. The debate about Medicare for All or Climate Change is based around one group of people wanting everyone to have access to healthcare and/or not destroying the environment (Thus saving lives). While the discussion of stopping 5G is about destroying expensive equipment and assaulting the techs that go out to fix the destroyed equipment. The only way this could be comparable if someone threaten or assaulted you to get Medicare for all or stop Climate Change.
- kian 7y agoOddly enough, a government compelling you to provide medical care for a third party or pay to stop climate change is, in fact, comparable to someone threatening or assaulting you to get you to comply, as assault and imprisonment are what you'll get if you opt not to pay in to government-mandated programs.
