    Ron Funches’ routine was great. “You don’t believe any conspiracy theories? Like, you just believe the government is batting 1.000 in terms of telling the truth?”

    As bad as people hate to admit it, this is pretty much the direct cause of anti vax people and shit like it.

    The government pretty much created the problem itself by doing this stuff.

      This is why black people don’t trust doctors.

      antivax as a movement didnt come around until an asshole doctor lied about the safety of vaccines, to sell his own vaccine… and took off like a rocket when that miserable Jenny McCunthy decided it had to be vaccines, and not genetics, that caused her not to give birth to the perfect blond haired blue eyed child she deserved.

        Narcissism and failed education leads to fascism. Who would of thought. The system we have congratulates assholery and abuse of power, so I’d say trust issues are expected.

    • That never happened

    • There’s no proof that happened

    • It’s more complicated than you’re describing

    • Those were just some bad actors

    • Okay, but that was under the Other Party. My Party would never do that

    • (Repeat 1. Thru 4.)

    • Okay but we’re reforming now. You should give us some credit!

    • It’s all in the past! Why do you keep bringing up Old Shit?!

    • Whataboutism

    I read about MK Ultra, and that is some weird, fucked up shit. Also, most of the records were destroyed, so who knows what else they got up to? Fucking monsters.

    Well at least Operation Northwoods never happened. It was just a draft and Kennedy refused to sign it into action. Don’t get me wrong, it is pretty fucked up that it came that far, but at least it never went into action.

        because you are complaining a lot about the elected governments instead of “I got money, imma do whatever lolz” corporations, which are the ones that are explicitly made to actually fuck you over every step of the way.

      “Governments do bad things sometimes” “Oh you would rather be subjugated by a megacorp?”

      Troll detected. Low quality bait.

          “Governments do bad things sometimes” “Oh so you don’t want governments at all?”

          Bait quality has not improved.
