he's the Chosen One! he was supposed to bring balance to the Left!

yeah ok "actual progressive". you keep it up and I'm gonna strain my eyes from rolling them so hard lmao

Try it out I suppose, but be aware of the connotations of the templates you use

if you have to tell people that you're enlightened, you ain't

also why have you picked vaccines in particular. maybe you wanted to express something else more clearly? there's no money in vaccines to such degree that western pharma companies don't want to research them, and bulk of (non-mRNA) vaccines are made in Serum Institute of India, they make this stuff for half of the world if not more. this thing is cheeaap, and because it's a preventive one and done you can take it on your own terms, you're not under time pressure to get it so you can shop around to get it cheaply. you can't nickel and dime people on vaccines

now if you do want to nickel and dime a patient, you'd need something that they're gonna need forever and jack up prices or just keep them high from day one, like with antiretrovirals or what purdue pharma did or like with daraprim. and then there's entirely another very american problem of insurance leech layer. taking a very charitable look at it maybe you want to say a thing about availability of american healthcare in general, less charitably, and more likely, you sound like a libertarian antivaxxer

This is where I'm coming from too, it just doesn't really make sense to me as a meme? Maybe that other meme format with the sweating captain trying to decide which button to push

I think those seem like two separate and unrelated issues. Separate each of them into their own argument and they would probably make a little more sense, and fit the format better.

Example 1 (vaccine argument): red pill (lie) = people who are telling you they know everything about vaccines and they should be the ones who decide who gets what blue pill (truth) = big pharma is the real perpetrator, influencing policy makers and controlling who gets the vaccines (etc.)

Example 2 (gun control argument): red pill (lie) = people who know nothing about guns are trying to decide who can have them blue pill (truth) = the weapon industry is actually the ones dictating gun policy

Adjust the wording to fit whatever it is you are trying to say, and separate the issues into truth versus lie instead of red (republican) versus blue (democrat).

I didn't say anything about labelling, but facebook does have it in place. Its not just that they can't reply back; They can't even see their own comment or the OP any-more, let alone your reply.

EDIH: I agree with you that labelling is best and getting notified about something you can't reply to is stupid, but beyond that, I'm in favor of thinking of communities more as private spaces. Whether its right or not, mods, admins, blog authors or peertube videographers can treat those threads as if our comments are un-wanted trespassers and they have no obligation to explain their reasoning.

There's no point in getting worked-up about it. 99 times in a hundred, its not hard to anticipate how what we want to say will be recieved in a given space.

We aren't prisoners, so we are also free to choose to take our comments elsewhere, or start our own instances or communities to host them. That said, if you anticipate moderating the replies to what you have to say to be too much work, well, that's often how the mods in other places are looking at it.

Its often not just "letting you say what you want", but also, likely putting more effort into moderating the replies on your comment than yourself will have to. Work and effort you mostly won't see or acknowlege.
