The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Maybe it’s the fact that they believe themselves to be so intellectually superior that they can just micromanage everything? People in charge act like we can’t think for ourselves, and their position of power makes that notion a threat to liberty. We have gone to insane lengths in the name of safety, to the point where there is little room for personal choice.

Yeah, just because they're experts on a subject, and have spent their whole lives studying it... how dare they pretend to know more about it than the rest of us!

Frankly, if they are trying to dominate the world, they are really bad at it.

Yeah because John Smith at 7/11 knows more about how viruses work than any of those CDC nerds who've spent decades studying diseases and monitor outbreaks for a living

Ah yes. Virologists are trying to take over the world.


I also like saying nonsensical things.

The mice from Sweden are trying to bring forth the 7th dark god 'yasatrough' from the 84 and half demention to turn the whole world into cheese. The only thing stoping them is the fact that Xenoblade Chronicles exists.

Well, when people prove that they are either incapable or unwilling to practice basic health and safety measures while millions of people die around them, I think they are justified in thinking themselves somewhat intellectually superior to the doorknob-lickers who assault employees and customers for following pandemic guidance or endanger the lives of those around them by doing everything in their power to maximize the spread of viruses.

I didn’t say that they don’t know more than us, what I said was that they think it’s all fine and dandy to dictate our everyday lives so long as it’s in the name of “safety”.

If people are unwilling to comply, let them be that way. You can choose not to go outside, socially distance, or wear a mask if you’re that worried, but forcing others to do it is not something we should deem acceptable.

If the freedom to be incredibly stupid, and put other people's lives in danger, is the freedom you're fighting for. Then no. That's dumb and wrong.

And it's a good thing we listen to the virologists and not to you.

That you talk like the discipline of virology is some cover for an evil cabal of masterminds is just... so amusing.

His threats may be more than just talk. Just as the Belgian authorities let their guard down, he could attack someone. For all we know he could be planning a terrorist attack right now. He needs to be stopped.

oh great another person that thinks wearing a mask is such a fuckin imposition on their freedom
please tell us more about how a small piece of fabric over your face that takes two seconds to put on and doesn't really effect the average person in any negative way is the end of all free will in this brave new world of the year 1984
do you give people the stink eye when they say to wash your hands, too?

It has been days. He has been in the vicinity of multiple targets during that time; yet has done nothing. All this attention however has fed the anti-vaxxer Q movement.
