Your self-contradiction is an example of part of the problem. There's an assumption that any "anti-vax" (also a dishonest conflation, people are arguing about the covid vaccine, not all vaccines) is automatically in bad faith/part of an agenda/trolling.
You only see "anti-vax" posts because pro vax is the default and is the only allowed perspective among submissions. This is what dissent looks like, its not "trolling" or "bad faith".
>Regardless there are plenty of platforms outside of 4chan where you can discuss this
Nonsense, exactly because of the attitudes like yours. Anything not in line with "safe and effective" propaganda is banned/deleted as "misinformation" or dismissed as "bad faith trolling".
- scrollaway 5y agoYou're applying the same bias to my posts, that you're accusing me of. I've myself been plenty critical of the COVID vaccines and/or rules when it was warranted, and I was able to make my point pretty safely and discuss it without it being dismissed as trolling or deleted as misinformation. So maybe, just maybe, the stuff that is deleted/banned/dismissed is in fact a duck. Because most anti-vax points as argued today on HN are misinformation-driven. If you disagree with that, you've been the victim of misinformation. And if you disagree with that, I can't do anything for you, you have to be open to being wrong sometimes. (And it's easy to turn that last sentence into "yeah well what if YOU'RE wrong". If I am, that is my cross to bear, but I'm absolutely open to it being the case. It doesn't change the above.)
