As it comes to vaccines, i am not vxxed yet, because i am waiting for a certain vaccine (VLA2001) based on sterilized sars-cov-2 virus, which should be available in autumn and deliver the best protection with the lowest risk of negative health reactions, also for longer times (5-10 years). A classic vaccine, just entered 3rd trial phase. I can barely wait to see results.
Before i get the shot i want to do an antibody test as well, but avoid experimental vaccines like mRNA at all cost. In the face of the approaching "D-variant" (a.k.a. "delta mutation") wave, i'm a little under pressure.

Once i was into conspiracy theories a little too deep, i'm no more into that shit now for almost 20 years Cool

SHIT! I did the mRNA vaccine (the Pfizer variety, 2 doses done already)! I'm currently having a heated discussion about this issue with my cousin (the new coiner with 0.3 BTC), in which he is adamant that I made a grave mistake by having the mRNA vaccine, and will most likely die or suffer extremely serious health problems in under 6 months from now. Seriously, no joke! We even made a bet about it. He claims that by Q2 2022 about 1 billion people will have died of the mRNA vaccine. He bases his predictions on the claims by Robert Kennedy Jr.

Not really worried, but looking forward to the end of that 6-month period... Damn! Shocked

Dude, how seriously severe to think about a (least) possible vaccination outcome. You'll be doing fine if you tolerated the two shots well.
While in Pfizer's own research results, mRNA vaxxes statistically cause about four times more severe outcomes and hospitalizations than in the control group, regarding age 12-15. Around here the politics heavily point to vaccination of the younger ones, to protect the elderly and working adults (you realize how actually sick this agenda is?).

If you don't celebrate the 4th July just renounce your citizenship, you are not worthy of your country.

Every country that goes by the Gregorian calendar (i.e. most of the world) has a July 4th.
They just don't celebrate it. Just another day like all the others.
I don't think this means the citizens aren't worthy of their country.

But regardless....Happy July 4th merkans....

Kind of taken out of context.

Of course its an American day for celebration, independence from Britain, no doubt your country has a national holiday which celebrates your country or a big event in your countries history. Of course it is irrelevant to non Americans.

The comment was directed at the Moron called it, who decided that only hillbillys, racists, uneducated children etc celebrate July 4th.
To it I recommended to renounce American citizenship. If it hates its own country so much.

It is a ploy of the left and Marxists to make pride in your own country a bad thing. This person has obviously succumbed to it.
Another common attack is on the institution of the family.
Then making the population dependent on the state, with handouts and benefits, whilst increasing taxes for everyone including those in receipt of benefits.
By taking away peoples independence, self esteem, ambitions, ability to innovate and create their own wealth, a country will slowly descend into decay and its population into poverty.
At this point it is easy to introduce Socialism and people will vote for it thinking it will make their lives better.
All you have to do is surrender a few of your freedoms to the state, then some more, and more still until all your freedom is gone.

America did not gain independence from Britain just to give it away to a cabal of home grown and foreign controlled Marxists.

That is why it is so important for Americans to celebrate July 4th, and I did, along with millions of others and had a fantastic day.

I'm european, my home country does have an "independence day" as well, and my opinion is those who want to celebrate it should do without judging those who don't and vice versa. It's an anniversary. Not celebrating it doesn't make one a "bad american", celebrating it doesn't make one a "good american", and of course also - vice versa. It's easy to judge, we are used to do it, in fact we are unconsciously judging on every fucking thing that crosses our sight or thoughts. We could live happily together by not judging - which sounds a lot easier than it actually is.

Just out of interest do you celebrate your country's independence day?

Yes, sort of. But i don't take part in the official celebrations of any of the right wing groups. It's a meeting of family members and a visit to the graveyard(s) where some of my ancestors were buried after falling in WW2.

Same with me I just celebrated 4th July having a chilled out day and a BBQ with family.

You don't have to be a right wing Nazi (as many on the left now believe) to be patriotic and celebrate your country and its culture.

I fix broken miners. And make holes in teeth :-)

I spent the 4th doing a really nice cookout, followed by some serious mortar fireworks that I picked up in Tennessee. That's the one state in the union that seems to allow *ANYTHING* and damn those shells were pretty much professional grade. They go up about 200 feet with a 100 foot blast radius so it's <500 feet and safe to launch without FAA notifications.

Meantime, while we wait *endlessly* for Bitcoin to do something here's a picture of a Lambo towing a Lambo.

20 Things I've Learned (Or Had Confirmed) About Humanity During The 'Pandemic' (THREAD):

1/ Most people would rather be in the majority, than be right.
2/ At least 20% of the population has strong authoritarian tendencies, which will emerge under the right conditions.
3/ Fear of death is only rivalled by the fear of social disapproval. The latter could be stronger.
4/ Propaganda is just as effective in the modern day as it was 100 years ago. Access to limitless information has not made the average person any wiser.
5/ Anything and everything can and will be politicised by the media, government, and those who trust them.
6/ Many politicians and large corporations will gladly sacrifice human lives if it is conducive to their political and financial aspirations.
7/ Most people believe the government acts in the best interests of the people. Even many who are vocal critics of the government.
8/ Once they have made up their mind, most people would rather to commit to being wrong, than admit they were wrong.
9/ Humans can be trained and conditioned quickly and relatively easily to significantly alter their behaviours - for better or worse.
10/ When sufficiently frightened, most people will not only accept authoritarianism, but demand it.
11/ People who are dismissed as 'conspiracy theorists' are often well researched and simply ahead of the mainstream narrative.
12/ Most people value safety and security more than freedom and liberty, even if said 'safety' is merely an illusion.
13/ Hedonic adaptation occurs in both directions, and once inertia sets in, it is difficult to get people back to 'normal'.
14/ A significant % of people thoroughly enjoy being subjugated.
15/ 'The Science' has evolved into a secular pseudo-religion for millions of people in the West. This religion has little to do with science itself.
16/ Most people care more about looking like they are doing the right thing, rather than actually doing the right thing.
17/ Politics, the media, science, and the healthcare industries are all corrupt, to varying degrees. Scientists and doctors can be bought as easily as politicians.
18/ If you make people comfortable enough, they will not revolt. You can keep millions docile as you strip their rights, by giving them money, food, and entertainment.
19/ Modern people are overly complacent and lack vigilance when it comes to defending their own freedoms from government overreach.
20/ It's easier to fool a person than to convince them that they have been fooled.
Bonus thought:

21/ Most people are fairly compassionate and have good intentions (this is good)

Here's hoping "21/" can carry the rest (1-20), with the help from Bitcoin we might just pull it off (I'm a sucker for happy endings).

2/ it's much more than 20%

And 2/ tends to sit well with the far left and the far right. I know plenty in both of those camps.

They have strong wish to control people and to be the "boss"

Whether they are waving a rainbow flag or a USA flag or a BLM flag or a BlueLM flag.

Plus the fucking media loves the turn the pot.

If only people could step back from the extreme and meet at the middle, but ah that's a different world then this one.

Thus the reason why Libertarian-ism, the most sane compromise of all the political & social positions, has been stomped right into the ground and left for dead.

Good job, Deep State.

20/21 observations sadly are correct.
1/21 observations happily are correct.

You're not quite a complete cynic yet though, give it some time.

I look at this forum thread and see people from many different backgrounds, different countries, different opinions, and sometimes we argue a bit...Still, we share common ground, most of us want to see Bitcoin succeed... This gives me hope that "21/" will be enough common ground to take the whole world through this shit without apocalypse...

At this point it is easy to introduce Socialism and people will vote for it thinking it will make their lives better.

America did not gain independence from Britain just to give it away to a cabal of home grown and foreign controlled Marxists.

20 Things I've Learned (Or Had Confirmed) About Humanity During The 'Pandemic' (THREAD):

1/ Most people would rather be in the majority, than be right.
2/ At least 20% of the population has strong authoritarian tendencies, which will emerge under the right conditions.
3/ Fear of death is only rivalled by the fear of social disapproval. The latter could be stronger.
4/ Propaganda is just as effective in the modern day as it was 100 years ago. Access to limitless information has not made the average person any wiser.
5/ Anything and everything can and will be politicised by the media, government, and those who trust them.
6/ Many politicians and large corporations will gladly sacrifice human lives if it is conducive to their political and financial aspirations.
7/ Most people believe the government acts in the best interests of the people. Even many who are vocal critics of the government.
8/ Once they have made up their mind, most people would rather to commit to being wrong, than admit they were wrong.
9/ Humans can be trained and conditioned quickly and relatively easily to significantly alter their behaviours - for better or worse.
10/ When sufficiently frightened, most people will not only accept authoritarianism, but demand it.
11/ People who are dismissed as 'conspiracy theorists' are often well researched and simply ahead of the mainstream narrative.
12/ Most people value safety and security more than freedom and liberty, even if said 'safety' is merely an illusion.
13/ Hedonic adaptation occurs in both directions, and once inertia sets in, it is difficult to get people back to 'normal'.
14/ A significant % of people thoroughly enjoy being subjugated.
15/ 'The Science' has evolved into a secular pseudo-religion for millions of people in the West. This religion has little to do with science itself.
16/ Most people care more about looking like they are doing the right thing, rather than actually doing the right thing.
17/ Politics, the media, science, and the healthcare industries are all corrupt, to varying degrees. Scientists and doctors can be bought as easily as politicians.
18/ If you make people comfortable enough, they will not revolt. You can keep millions docile as you strip their rights, by giving them money, food, and entertainment.
19/ Modern people are overly complacent and lack vigilance when it comes to defending their own freedoms from government overreach.
20/ It's easier to fool a person than to convince them that they have been fooled.
Bonus thought:

21/ Most people are fairly compassionate and have good intentions (this is good)

Here's hoping "21/" can carry the rest (1-20), with the help from Bitcoin we might just pull it off (I'm a sucker for happy endings).

2/ it's much more than 20%

And 2/ tends to sit well with the far left and the far right. I know plenty in both of those camps.

They have strong wish to control people and to be the "boss"

Whether they are waving a rainbow flag or a USA flag or a BLM flag or a BlueLM flag.

Plus the fucking media loves the turn the pot.

If only people could step back from the extreme and meet at the middle, but ah that's a different world then this one.

(Edited for Brevity)

So if we've such a horrible system that doesn't mandate vacations, why do people from all over the world want to come to America? You said earlier that Romania and other EU countries are trying to encourage and subsidize paternity due to shrinking populations. This is so strange to me.

As to your point about Corporate Welfare, I agree, it's a serious problem that has no place in a free society. It is one of many examples of our Constitutional Republic being destroyed by political greed. If we don't correct the course quickly I fear our Land of the Free that our forefathers fought and died to create will sink into abysmal death spiral called Corporate Oligarchy. They call it Progressive, I call it Unconstitutional Theft of Freedom & Public Funds.

Those children the state nurtures through maternity leave payments will eventually become tax-paying citizens. What's wrong with starting them off on the left foot, right? America helps refugees get a good start; why not their own new-born citizens?

Some of them come for the American Dream, some are trying to escape extreme poverty, some are trying to escape brutal oppression and others are trying to escape war-torn countries that have been devastated by never-ending wars (which in all likelihood has something to do with other countrys' foreign policies).
Those I know who have emigrated from Canada to the US have done quite well for themselves. There is plenty of opportunity to do well if you're willing to put in the effort.
