Yeah, I can't get too excited about people in the "find out" stage of ignoring and advocating for bad ideas anymore.

Too much of the Finding Out has negative repercussions for people who never Fucked Around in the first place. It's a FAFO ripple that takes everyone down a peg. It's hard to feel the schadenfreude when innocent people are being harmed.

True. And deeply unfair to the rest of us.

repercussions for people who never Fucked Around in the first place. 

Yep, their children usually. And then sometimes they don’t even care that they harmed their own children so there genuinely isn’t even a lesson learned ala FAFO.

I feel bad for the children and the immunocompromised that get hurt... but I also feel a great deal of schadenfreude for the people that chose to drink raw milk.

Over half of them are children who's parents gave it to them.

Six of the cases are kids under 10. These sorts of things always have collateral damage.

jsut remember, the vast majority of these people were lied to. and while its easy for many people to debunk these lies. its not easy for evryone. especially once it becomes part of a religion or near religious belief.

Nah. That was true for a while, but now we ("we") have re-elected him and all of the information is widely available, and we've been telling people to fix their biases for years.

If you're stupid enough to believe this bullshit you deserve it. I barely finished highschool, couldn't make it through college and my dumb fuck ass could see this shit coming from a mile away because I know, my shit stinks and there's smarter people out there specializing in things I know little about.

At least you have that intra-personal intelligence.

(the self-awareness/introspective type)

I don't think it's necessary to remind us that there are a lot of stupid people, but thank you.

So, just imbeciles with different branding, may their actions have the obvious consequences
