It’s basically like treating adults as if they are children. Something that all these public health “experts” did to people for 2.5 years. They talked down to people. Acted like they knew what was best for everybody (which they didn’t).
You don’t get to treat adults like children. They are adults who might know something you don’t.
It’s just toxic discourse.
- matwood 4y agoUnfortunately a lot of adults act like children. It's debatable if acting like children is the cause or the reason for treating them that way.
- spookthesunset 4y ago> Unfortunately a lot of adults act like children. True, but it could also be their priorities are somewhere other than yours. Which might be okay or might not depending on whatever. What these "experts" and politicians did though... treat people like dumb children... completely inexcusable.
- futuretaint 4y agoIf we were able to get to the source of the 'trust science' clique, I bet we would be amazed at how uninteresting it all is. grievances about hurt feelings, mental health issues and moral panic.
- spookthesunset 4y agoIt’s appeals to authority all the way down. Actual science or data (or even actual disease mitigation) had almost nothing to do with the actions “the experts” took over the last 2.5 years.
