" There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted," Kennedy said of the virus, according to the Post. "COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately... COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese."

This man is a TOTAL FUCKING LUNATIC.

RFK Jr. suggests COVID-19 could have been 'ethnically targeted' to spare Jews

@StillIRise1963 A good time to remember that Jack Dorsey is backing RFK Jr.'s campaign, in case you had any doubts about why Bluesky is refusing to take action against the overt racism on the platform.

@WearsHats @StillIRise1963 Just goes on to show that coming up with a good idea in your 20s does not extrapolate to a lifetime of "good ideas".

As a matter of fact - it's quite the opposite.

It seems like when they become multi million and billionaires they cease to understand the human condition. They seem to have forgotten or perhaps never knew the struggle many people face on a daily basis or worse, they just don’t care. There are a lot of narcissists out there.

@rabbijill Yes. There are two dangerous things about this story. What he said, and how it's reported.

@StillIRise1963 This sort of thing is why hate speech laws exist in many countries.

He isn't "adding to the debate" or "promoting a viewpoint".

He's spewing hate, designed to rile people up against specific ethnicities.

He's inciting violence.

@CStamp @StillIRise1963 @justafrog Calling it "another crazy conspiracy theory" understates the danger. He is calling Covid a biologically engineered conspiracy created by The Jews. Full Nazi. This needs to be called out and the guy needs to be completely ostracized.

Yes! I'll seize this opportunity to push noted linguist George Lakoff's "truth sandwich" doctrine for combatting lies. Not for you -- you clearly know all this -- just for the public generally and the media in particular.

Truth Sandwich:

  1. Start with the truth. The first frame gets the advantage.

  2. Indicate the lie. Avoid amplifying the lie if possible.

  3. Return to the truth. Always repeat truths more than lies. (Repetition matters!)

@justafrog @StillIRise1963 Happy to say inciting racial hatred is a crime where I live.

We're currently watching white supremacists tie themselves in knots trying to come up with legitimate-sounding reasons not to let Indigenous Australians have a Voice to Parliament, without actually saying "Those Black &$%#@ aren't gonna tell us what to do".

@StillIRise1963, Democrats have their kooks, too. But spot the difference.

  • The D kooks in Congress can be counted on one hand.
  • The kooks are not appointed to important committees.
  • The party leadership doesn’t (pretend to) join them in their kookiness.
  • The kooks don’t get applauded and or do the anti-kooks get punished by the party
  • The D fundraising emails and mailers don’t try to appeal to the kookiness.

@jpgoldberg All true. The kooks are not the spokespeople.

    @GhostOnTheHalfShell @StillIRise1963, we are stuck with this until the voting system is changed. And it is a real problem, and we should fully acknowledge the ways in which the two parties are similar.

    But that should never be an excuse for ignoring the very real differences between them.

    @GhostOnTheHalfShell @StillIRise1963, agreed.

    One of the biggest obstacles in fixing the voting systems is that both parties strongly prefer things the way they are.

    Personally, I like Condercet voting, but I would go for any reasonable rank-choice schemes.

    @GhostOnTheHalfShell @StillIRise1963, I’m not a fan of PR for electing members of a legislative body. I think biasing toward the center of each district is a good thing in that case. But I don’t believe that the center really is between the two parties in most US districts. If people could vote true preferences without “throwing away” their votes, we would see the rise of meaningful third parties.
