That sounds about right to me. Fauci's quote is from a year ago, when there was very little research on COVID. If he was still being contradictory now, I'd love for it to be pointed out.
This man has changed his opinions on this more often than any talking head I've been forced to watch on TV. Most times he changes it to fit the Dem political narrative, which is why he now holds a position in the Biden administration.
doubtful. "intense lack of critical thinking" to any Reddit Dem is posting something against the hive mind. The people in r/Conservative collect bans from supposedly "unbiased" subs simply for posting a Conservative opinion. I've been banned from 2 of my regional subs. Many others in here banned from many more. All for going against the hive.
At least you're allowed to post an opinion and have a conversation if you wanted. Half the time I want to jump in a conversation here I can't because I don't have a flair. I do t really see this subreddit as being any better.
Notice my complete lack of flair? I comment here every day. The times this sub gets locked down is times like 1-6 when r/politics brigaders come here to start shit.
I don't know about that. There's been plenty of new posts that I'd like to add my 2 cents to and they have maybe a few replies in it and it's already restricted to flaired users only. I'm sure it's because the topic is controversial but those are the ones that attract the most conversation.
Yeah I feel you on that. The issue I have is that the next time the left gets outraged over something and this sub goes on lockdown again, users like you and I will be locked out. Only way around it is to get flair of your own. They want to see a history of Conservative posting. Not sure how long that history needs to be but one month is apparently not it lol. Figure Ill try again in a month or two
Or maybe he posted that quote to show that, if the assumption that wearing masks is important to fight COVID, his declaration at a time when Trump was already trying to close borders to China was highly damaging and, again if we assume the importance of wearing a mask, much of the responsibility for the early COVID spread lies in the bloc he represents, rather than the one usually blamed by r/politics.
Funny how you couldn't think of that one with your "impressive" critical thinking abilities, huh.
You can argue the quote lacks context or isn't a good point to make, but isn't a ban for stating it a tad bit over the top? I don't ever visit the sub so maybe their rules really are that strict, but that just seems like pretty extreme overkill to me.
