I just assumed the topic is also anti-vaccine because the title says anti covid vaccine, rather than simply saying anti-mandate. :dunno:

"My free speech is being gagged" says people exercising their power of free speech?
But I guess you're right about the labelling. They're not just anti-vaxxers. They're also anti-maskers. Anti-social distancers. And anti-science-ers. They also think that there is a huge plot that includes every single world governemnt, every pharma company and every single Doctor to make us take a medicine so "they"* can profit.
But I guess the label is wrong, it should be "assorted fuck wits".
*No one ever explains who "they" are.

Do you like being labelled as one thing or another because of AS, for example? Do you like being told you have no feelings, or are always selfish, or awkward?
Labelling people as one thing is a dangerous practice. Not all people who have rallied are anti vaccines, and even if they are, isn’t that ok?
I’m not condoning violence by any stretch, but one label fits all is dangerous thinking and tells me you are buying into the black and white narrative.
People are gagged on many platforms. Yes. Does that sit well with you? Are you not on I2 because if it’s freedom to debate topics? Or has that all changed too?

Wouldn't care. It's mostly true. As is the fact that the marchers are not rightlyputting their side of the argument because their side is based on untruth and misinformation and is being exploited by the far right. There is no right on their side. If people tell you that the sun comes out at night it isn't neccessary to accomodate their point of view, it is neccessary to point out that they are fuck wits.

No. Stupidity is nmot a crime, but when it leads to them letting a pandemic propogate about and kill otherwise blameless people then it is wrong. Very wrong.

I've not said anything about violence, have I. But that said, if the police wanted to steam in riot sticks I would watch it all with popcorn if possible. Fuck them. People die because of their moronic, uneducated beliefs.

People are not gagged on any platform. What has been stopped (unsuccessfully) is the blatant spreading of easily provable misinformation that is being spread by foreign "!bad actors" and people who generally aren't educated to the point of correct punctuation. It's not free speech, it's the willful or unwitting spreading of lies.

I'm of the opinion that it's OK to drive my car on the pavement. It's my car and my body so why shouldn't I do what I want? I demand my viewpoint is respected.
