Mycot Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 More fun and games in Melbourne as the saga continues. VIC Govt wants to see Australianso get killed by violence instead of covid. Here's links to two vids on the action. At some stage I'll find the patience to remember how to embed vids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jReamRwtNrU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humboldt Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I'd love to see the ANMF (nursing union) come and stand up to them. Protesting against fuckwits who make everyones life harder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the person who made the statement I may be best qualified to answer it. That clip illustrates how corporate news no longer has any regard for truth but is merely a lying propaganda machine. This applies from 9 News to Skynews, and the ABC is no different, so there is no moral argument for preserving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This applies from 9 News to Skynews, and the ABC is no different, so there is no moral argument for preserving it. But promoting nationalism has always been the ABC's raison d'être. (Just as the Shrine of Remembrance has always been a monument to sacrifice, not freedom.) One thing I've noticed about the ABC and Covid -- it's politically correct these days for all ABC news personalities to express concern over mental health issues. Any mention of trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, is followed by a disclaimer: please seek help if needed ... unless, of course, you're opposed to mandatory vaccination -- then the gloves are off, and you're just plain batshit crazy. No Lifeline support for you. Being the paragon of political correctness, the ABC is naturally opposed (at least in principle) to totalitarianism. But if fascism may be defined as the merger of state and corporate power (Mussolini) then what word should be used instead to describe the all-but-mandatory rollout of Pfizer et al.? I won't be cajoled or ridiculed into vaccination. Am I just plain batshit crazy? So be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To counter one piece of 'propaganda' with simply another piece of 'propaganda' seems naive. Frankly, the commercial channels ARE toxic - they are largely unwatchable - I think everybody here would agree. But is your call to de-fund the ABC over it not just misplaced anger?

ZooL Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I think poor and flawed reasoning is too often excused or accepted when it ends up with a conclusion we think is harmless or even one we agree with. When one person does charity and feeds the hungry because they think a god wants them to this seems good and we congratulate this but it is identical reasoning to when another person who throws a gay person off a roof because they think a god wants them to. When someone arrives at a seemingly harmless conclusion because of their feelings,woowoo nonsense or because some yahoo on youtube said so we shouldn't be too surprised when they end up arriving at a really stupid or dangerous conclusion using those same methods of reasoning.

Change Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 "In medicine, miRNA can be considered as a novel and attractive biomarker for therapeutic targets. On the other hand, it has been reported that plasma from SARS-CoV-2 infection recovering individuals can be used to treat patients with COVID-19 due to the presence of antivirus miRNAs and antibodies. It is estimated that the miRNAs involved in blocking the ACE2 or TMPRSS2 can regulate the cytokine storm in SARS-CoV-2 infection." https://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/10.2217/fvl-2020-0389 One day people will be able to understand what I've been talking about, and i look forward to that point in time. I don't like the idea of using modified nucleotides as antiviral, but while most people don't know what nucleotides are, idunno if they will understand my concerns. Sorta like how they don't understand why I'm so excited about the possibility of using miRNA to control gene expression. Just another "innovative and radical" thats way ahead of his time.

Dude you're seriously underestimating the scientific knowledge of many of the members here. Just because don't give a shit, or can't be bothered responding, doesn't mean people don't understand. There are members here that are extremely scientifically literate and some are even leaders in their field, gaining them a great deal of respect both nationally and globally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Change Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Sorry if u got your knickers in a knot over my comments dude, i wasn't trying to take some sort of higher ground, just keen for the point in time when people understand what I'm talking about. Regardless of how much scientific knowledge in whatever field it may be, nationally and globally respected, provides no guarantee they will understand my points. I'm not easy to understand, doesn't mean those who don't get me aren't clever or worth trying to communicate with. The "innovative radical" statement is a reference to a joke i made at a camp a few years ago, some blokes here will get a giggle out of it, ya had to be there i guess.

fyzygy Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) you forgot to call unvaccinated people "mass-murderers" ... the "freedoms" you fail to comprehend include the entire bundle of human rights as we know them (they come as a package deal) the right to physical integrity exists because of medical experimentation upon Jewish bodies during WWII. it guarantees every (human) body the freedom not to be subject to invasive procedures without their freely given, fully informed consent. these are established legal principles, you can't do away with them & still (meaningfully) proclaim "the rule of law" grave times are ahead, if human rights can be overthrown in the name of some conceptual greater good, such as public health. or, more likely: the economy. who are the real vandals in this scenario? I would suggest, those chipping away at the edifice of legal rights and freedoms. Edited October 2, 2021 by fyzygy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
