Rant The unfortunately necessary RFK Jr. thread

[fskimospy]

Thats weird, just the other day on Lex Fridman I thought I heard him talking about vaxxing and autism and all sorts of that crap.
Unless Lex is running a deepfake of him of course.

It's weird for @Luna1968 to even try lying about that. RFK Jr. is the fucking chairman of this group!

It's easy to turn fear into money and the best tool for that is to promote fear of what can't be seen. Fear of germs, floride in toothpaste, radiation from a microwave oven, fear of chemicals in the water, fear of any kind of change, and all of this because we were terrorized as children and rather than face those fears we want to project those fears out there in the world. We are in deep need of psychological education that creates self understanding which is what we really fear.

Why would anyone waste that much time responding to a post by the clearly piece of shit most evil person Luna. I mean besides all their posts what more proof does anyone here need to know that Luna is an irredeemable waste of oxygen.

Evil? I dunno. I see this poster more as a prisoner of the constricted sources that define his own hugely lamentable world view. That doesn't mean that the shit he posts doesn't disgust me. It does, the dumb ass.

Because in EVERY SPACE, bullshit propaganda must be addressed and debunked. Simply ignoring, dismissing or even denying them platforms them has MASSIVELY backfired.

The Trump cult only grew
The anti-vax cult only grew
The stop the steal cult only grew
Flat earth belief only grew.

Bullshit conspiracy theories MUST be met head on and an equal or greater effort put into debunking them.

brandolini's law (the bullshit asymmetry principle) means the effort into debunking bullshit will almost always be greater than the effort put into creating the bullshit in the first place.

but yes, you can't let people slide on bullshit.

there's an old guy in my painting class who thinks trump lost 2020 due to 3 million illegal votes. the first few classes i let it slide. the last class, he bitched about kids these days not knowing how to drive manuals. i pointed out that modern autos/DSGs are more efficient, and electric vehicles are direct drive (and more efficient). therefore, there's no need to learn given the technology changes and the limited amount of manuals (~2% of new car sales).

was it a dumb hill to die on? sure. but i grew tired of his bullshit, so anything he said that was wrong i was just going to hammer him on. the most recent class? he didn't bring up his usual political bullshit, and i had a nice time painting without hearing about how america is going downhill, bitching about trump lost unfairly, or how supporting LGBTQ people is wokeness.

i want my painting class to be about painting. everything else? STFU.

Aaaand he is MAGA funded

RFK Jr's super PAC is mostly funded by a GOP megadonor who spent millions on Trump and bankrolled an effort to build a border wall in Texas

$5 million of the group's nearly $9.8 million fundraising haul came from Timothy Mellon, who gave millions to Trump's super PAC in 2020.

Bobby would be so ashamed.

 

[Brainonska511]

Surprised RFK's 14/88 tweet hasn't made it into this thread:



Why anyone gives this guy the time of day is beyond me.

Pretty sure you have to be a legitimate candidate to qualify for Secret Service protection.

This is my not surprised face

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Seems like way back when the Con Man ran the first time, he whined and moaned about it, but there was something about not until after the Primaries.

 

[Pens1566]

And it has to be within a certain period from the general election.

He's lying again.

 

[cytg111]

He is of course #TeamRussia, I assume the Russians have already reached out to him with gold.

Vaccine nutter who supports Russia’s war of aggression against it’s neighbors. Fuck that guy

 

[Stokely]

"Negotiate" for these people--and others around the world like that African delegation--means: bend over and take it, Ukraine. Because you standing up and fighting is an inconvenience to me.

I'm sure Ukraine is more than willing to actually negotiate, as long as it involves the damn invaders leaving completely and paying reparations for the damage that they are 100% responsible for.

He is polling 15-20% of dems, not near enough to beat Biden, but how many of those would follow if he ran 3rd party? That would likely get you Trump again unless he's locked up.

Trumps best odds of staying out of jail : RFK runs third party.
Putins best odds of "winning the war" : RFK runs third party.

Just saying.

Man, this guy is the antithesis of his father in every way.

I wish I knew who the fuck these people were. I don't get it at all.

The repugs don't have a corner on anti-vaccine conspiracy theory nutters. It is close but not a lock.
A stray dog found our pack and would not leave, so I was looking for his home and talked to a neighbor out doing yard work a few minutes ago.
It all started out normally and then we ended up talking about the sasquatch in the area, and the family of cougars over in the woods. Science eludes all sorts of folks.

 

[cytg111]

Well... The announcement for a 3rd party run so close that something weird should happen for it not to happen

TRUMP THANKS YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

You fucking dolt.

Lest not forget

RFK Jr. super PAC got more than half its funds from GOP mega donor

$5 million came from former Trump supporter Timothy Mellon.

Looks like Junior is going to shove a torpedo right up Biden's ass.

Looks like Junior is going to shove a torpedo right up Biden's ass.

How’s that?

 

[Zor Prime]

How’s that?

By running as Independent and siphoning moderate Democrat votes from Biden.
