John Stockton Claims He Had Proof of 1000 Athletes Dying of Vaccine

No one event, but there has been a deliberate campaign to increase the partisanship in this country since Gingrich in 1994.
I agree with this.
Online, I saw increasing levels of hatred at the elections of both Obama and Trump. To a lesser degree, GWB. Covid19 may have accelerated the process slightly, but it's been building for over 2 decades.
Agree, polarization has been getting worse over time.

For a couple of decades, I've been told I supported child murder (vaccination), pedophilia (LGBTQ+ positions), and racial hatred (hope that's obvious). In my personal life, I have seen no increased animosity, but I have a small social circle. All this is nothing new to me.
Yes small events, that affected (affected/effected I’m terrible when it comes to these 2 words) sections of the population.

When I made the comment about what situation in 2000-2019 happened to bring out this much hate and what the actor was getting at was Covid was a massive issue for everyone. Unlike some people in this forum believe, Covid was not a 2 party political fight. It was not left vs right.

During the last 20 years there has not been a situation that affected every single person. We took kids out of school. We shut down businesses. We canceled weddings. We couldn’t attend funerals. People were laid off. Stopped allowing people to attend church. There were restrictions of state to state travel. We could not visit family. Could not take kids to the park. People arrested at the beach.
This was personal. Each and every person was effected. Not politics. People on the left/right who had their business shut down were upset because they lost their income stream and wanted the lockdowns lifted at the same time people on the left/right who worked for the government didn’t mind the lockdowns because they still had a paycheck. People who had paychecks coming in were lashing out on people wanting to go back to work to receive money to live. Again not political but financial.

Yes politics and policies started to add to this massive fire. Left leaning states kept up the lockdowns. Conservative states eased up on them. Yet the average citizen watched as the ruling class didn’t follow the rules in their states. Little more political but more of citizen vs ruler politics that upset everyone who is not a ruler.

Vaccines was the turning point when it became more political yet extremely personal. Health, compassion, mandates, travel, entering businesses(daily life), keeping jobs or side effects all influenced people’s decision to get vaccinated or not. It was a personal decision.

Yet the hate was the worst it has been. Online, in person, with family, at work, at church or social groups. More so than any event in 2000-2019. I think the only other times in American history was independence from England, Civil War, WW2 and Civil rights.

All other examples do not affect everyone personally. LBGT- nope, Border - nope, WMD - nope, online hate - nope, radicalized political parties- nope. President- nope. All of these things can bring hate but not at the degree of what Covid brought.
 
I’m not disagreeing with this but the internet/social media is the tool to post hate, not an event. I was asking for an event or situation where it stoked this much anger.
I disagree. Something as world-changing as the advent of the Internet qualifies as an event.

Besides, what we are seeing is the culmination of decades of slow burn as politicians have become more and more partisan, and their focus has completely become about re-election. It is a boiling the frog scenario. COVID was more of a tipping point than the single catalyst.

You disagree with me not disagreeing? ;) If the “internet” was an event then that was in 1983. The internet is always evolving so I don’t know how you call it a real event.

I have not once disagreed with the “slow burn” with any poster. I completely agree with it.

It’s also not just isolated to America and it didn’t just begin spring of 2020. The UK, France, Germany to a certain extent, and Hungary are all experiencing similar symptoms and have been for years.
 
Exactly. My wife stubbed her toe yesterday and so obviously i started questioning if it was due to the vaccine. Soft *** anitvax facists lol

When has stubbing your toe been linked to heart inflammation and blood clots?

This interaction and the subsequent replies remind me of JazzyFresh, who famously had trouble grappling with hypotheticals. I've even read somewhere that It's a running theme in many conservative individuals.

Gee. It’s almost as if people who disagree with you have deliberately misrepresented your view by utilising hyperbolic rhetoric to vilify you eh.
 
Such a dumb view to claim he has proof of 1000 athletes dying from the vaxx. There isn’t any.

There is a massive issue of excess deaths generally though which is yet to really be addressed or taken seriously.

I think you have reason to feel that way. I never expected anything else. That's what people do.

My point was that I didn't start my posting to join a club or get approval, and I don't post for that now. If anything, I'm less likely to contribute to a thread where people are saying the same things I would say.
