I can’t keep up with their alternate reality. Also, if you’re hellbent on making up a fake medicine instead of just getting the vaxx, why not settle on something like vitamin gummi bears? You’ll get the placebo without shitting your guts out.

Or alternatively, since you’ve fully left reality behind already, why not just abandon medicine as well and just put your faith in homeopathy or reiki or whatever?

Well there’s definitely the unspoken shift now that coronavirus is actually something that should be avoided/cured. However their reflexive contrarianism toward anything the Liberal Media tells them to do leads them to the conclusion that the “real cure” is something that they never see on the news and/or something the news comes out explicitly against. Then they’re susceptible to the first snake oil salesman wearing all the correct right-wing signifiers that comes along, which is exactly what happened with both hydroxychloroquine and now ivermectin. Mainstream media coverage of all the people annihilating their livers and dying of this shit only reinforces their belief that they’ve found the secret sauce.

January 2020: holy shit worldwide pandemic, I need to panic-buy supplies and masks
March 2020: wtf I hate masks now, also this virus is fake
August 2021: wtf the virus is real again, but also I hate mask mandates

Most of you guys can’t appreciate how insanely 180 they went from January of 2020, unless you were lurking far-right websites. They were prepping for the apocalypse, and when the pandemic finally hit it’s like their brains just switched into a different reality.

They just want any other reality except for the one that is actually real.

the rabbit hole really is endless

“rabbit hole” implies, at the very least, a consistent line of logic

what you described is just “all feelz no reelz”

were these guys gusanos? lol

Reflexive contrarianism leads to all sorts of silly places, and the left isn’t immune from it.
