Comments by "L.W. Paradis" (@l.w.paradis2108) on "Your Jimmy Dore Moment Of Zen" video.

  1. The ISSUE is mandates. PCF/CGT is against mandates and passports, for crying out loud. Every Scandinavian country is against mandates. Every left-wing party outside of the Five Eyes (and several inside them) is against mandates. Ask yourselves why you need them. I believe you that you do. I'm not hearing why. Please, enlighten us?

  2. It isn't. No left party in Europe supports vaccine mandates. No Scandinavian country has them. CGT (hard left, France) recently organized a demonstration of vaccinated health care workers in support of their unvaccinated colleagues and against the mandates. L'Obs posted a video, and all the comments below it praised the CGT for their humanity. Very beautiful, actually. I hope this won't be censored. Usually is.

  3. These comments need more cliches. Of the next twenty below this one right now, only ten are cliche-ridden. (I didn't count "opportunist." I thought that was too original.)

  4.  @patched8789  Yeah, all the uprisings against them have been excellent. But if you go visit, they will keep you feeling safe, so that's good. Say. Why do some places succeed in persuading people to do certain things for the greater good, and others operate on viciousness and coercion?

  5. It's unhinged to oppose the mandates? Explain.

  6.  @runrafarunthebestintheworld  Where did this come from? Dore is pro-mask and denounced Fauci for constantly flip-flopping on masks. Don't rely on this channel for news that matters to you. Just, watch it for fun.

  7. Look at the number of views per video posted today. There's your answer. Looks like Joe Rogan wins.

  8.  @sevilnatas  Silly boy, my mother isn't gay. She wasn't born in the West. 😂 Oooo, is that a FORBIDDEN joke? Then why did you bring it up? Crass! Thanks for outing yourself.

  9.  @sevilnatas  What does "And you mom gay" have to do with anything on earth, except possibly cheap bigotry? Very unimaginative. Watch better podcasts.

  10.  @sevilnatas  Of course! A prescribed response! You're clearly right. I should have known. Nothing else is possible, here.

  11.  @sevilnatas  I'm thrilled to hear that you are (FINALLY) going to work on your homophobia. I understand it is age-related, boomer, so I have patience with people of your generation. Don't worry, you'll get there! Good luck and peace! (BTW, a small P. S. -- Clever to design a meme as a safety-valve and a cover for homophobia, but I think I should mention that people see through that now. Just a friendly reminder, I know you know.)

  12. Jumped the shark, fine, but remember to say grift, too. Relying on others won't always work, you know.

  13.  @SpellboundTutor  Not what happened. Fauci admits he lied. Easy to see the politicians facing the voters did as well. It's what they do. Sorry about your struggles, you deserve a worry-free life when confronting any health challenges, with the security of universal health and disability, no hoops, no questions, no jeering. Lots of countries have no vaccine mandate. It's working fine.

  14.  @SpellboundTutor  There is proof Fauci lied about masks and herd immunity and several other things. The truth about the lab leak theory is that if this virus was enhanced in some way, chances are that fact makes for a stronger case for vaccination, not weaker. Sounds like "natural" immunity is not so likely, and predictability of the course of the illness, or future mutations, is less likely. Those are reasons TO vaccinate. But that's just it, lying makes people more scared. It makes people believe something really big is happening, like when parents will lie to children to hide the truth. I had a minor operation two weeks ago. When they told me that major emergency surgery could be needed, and a blood transfusion could as well, THAT is when I calmed down. The worst case scenario, presented to me honestly, is what made me exhale. That's how I knew I was being told the truth.

  15.  @StoveToTheFace  Fauci also said no vaccine mandates on principle. Before the election, I mean. The videos are there.

  16.  @Teremei  Watch when he has Max Blumenthal on. Which is often lately.

  17.  @thomas2082  I've never seen a channel where people communicate so much in slogans. It's like a parody of a struggle session.

  20. Maybe it's too bad that the content is being misrepresented here, and instead the minions are given their usual marching orders. Vaccine mandates, as opposed to persuasion, are an issue worldwide.

  21. Notice how you felt you could not make a valid point without ending the post by criticizing Dore. (Were you afraid Sam would have your post removed?)

  22.  @thewestfaceofdhaulagiri6697  What "left?" Non-POC America is Trump enthusiasts, and Trump enthusiasts with better manners usually.

  23. Hillary was in the news when she went to Ireland, and when DOJ indicted one of her former lawyers. Just happened. It was in the New York Times.

  25.  @Disaletteritis  Dore didn't get permission to talk about vaccine side effects, though he said his wife and staff got over theirs really fast, while he needed treatment. No one said he could say that. Permission slips are important.

  26. Kim Iversen is on the case.

  27.  @SpellboundTutor  During the campaign, Biden and Pelosi both said they categorically opposed vaccine mandates. Is America one giant memory care unit? The ad men hope so. Oh wait. So you didn't watch any videos. You go by thumbnails. Yep, the ad men have you where they want you. As for people who spread actual anti-vaxx propaganda, I suspect most of them are vaccinated, especially if they are over 40. And those who push vaccines on others are not vaccinating their younger teens. You can be sure of it. Both. And the few to suffer serious side effects are being told to shut up, it's all in their heads. Or they are losers in the survival of the fittest. That is exactly the society we have.

  28.  @SpellboundTutor  This is not a scientific question in which the empirical evidence changed in this short period of time. It is a public policy question. The political winds shifted. Exactly: The fact that people who are injured are on their own, they can go shove it, is precisely one source of mistrust. The pattern is the continual offloading of risk on to those least equipped to bear it. Health, education, unemployment, disability, retirement, everything. This is why no European left supports mandates -- and this, in spite of their excellent comprehensive health and disability benefits. At least they can deal with it, rather than face isolation and scorn. Sad: it was Dore who pointed out you're being trained to hate that one guy in Wisconsin. And so you do, complete with swearing. Bravo. You proved his point. That is sad.

  29.  @SpellboundTutor  Not how THESE vaccines work. The definitive studies with large sample sizes are now coming out of Israel, and are published in top journals like NEJM, late August or later. Norway does not recommend vaccination for kids under 16, or mandate them on anyone, not even for school. Switzerland does not recommend a second dose of an mRNA vaccine for those who had a proven case of COVID and recovered. See their ministries of health websites.

  30.  @SpellboundTutor Then you're not informed, or not objective. You're taking sides for no rational reason. Go ahead, it's a nationwide affliction. If you don't want to watch The Hill Rising, for example, or read The Intercept, then you won't see any evidence. Your call.

  31.  @SpellboundTutor  I'm telling you where the information that I personally found very persuasive can be found. Since other people can't read my mind and uncover my sources that way, I have to indicate them. I think Sam will let you watch Ryan Grim. Granted, Kim Iversen may not be someone he approves of, but in this case Grim went further than she did in criticizing Fauci, because he has done more homework on the issue. This channel isn't about informing you of anything except what Talking Points will make you look Cool in front of the Right People. I grant you, that is usually much more important than anything actual news is likely to impart. Carry on.

  32.  @StoveToTheFace  Not the only time by any stretch. The Hill Rising just did a summation of all the major lies Fauci told. Iversen and Grim.

  33.  @StoveToTheFace  I gave you the information, Iversen and Ryan Grim. Look it up yourself. Ask Sam if it's okay. Fact allergies can be serious. Care should be taken.

  34.  @StoveToTheFace  Why do you believe the herd immunity through these vaccines claim? Talking points. You repeat talking points. No interest in talking to you, I can find the ever-shifting talking points anywhere. Show me the "science" that shows vaccines need to be mandated because Republicans. LOL, how absurd. Almost everyone who posts here is competing to show who can repeat the newest slogans first.

  35.  @StoveToTheFace  I don't worry about being smarter. I'm responsible for making up my own mind and living with the consequences. I also know how to read peer-reviewed research, and I understand the Precautionary Principle and the Daubert standard. Majoring in math is also a useful thing. It teaches deductive logic.

  36.  @StoveToTheFace From repeating slogans to name calling, that was quick. You must be a genius yourself.

  41.  @MClaudiusMarcellus  The ISSUE is mandates, not the vaccines themselves. PCF is against mandates and passports, for crying out loud. No Scandinavian country has them. Why is that? Why indeed.

  42.  @dcaseng  The Harris Biden Pelosi comments on the "Trump vaccines" were obnoxious, and I myself don't trust anything that had anything to do with Trump. But those three didn't think ahead at all when they cast doubt on the vaccines, purely for their own partisan political reasons.

  43.  @JakobVirgil  Your comment has only four "grifts." What happened? The last time I checked, the minimum was five.

  44.  Kathryn Elizabeth  Coercion is "common sense," to you. Good to know. Why am I not surprised? Common sense to fire people who were on the front lines all last year, going to work and risking COVID? You do know that during the CAMPAIGN both Biden and Pelosi said they opposed vaccine mandates, don't you? Why did they oppose "common sense" then? (Say. Did you "work from home?")
