“Those stats are from some foreign country, completely irrelevant to me”
Has your country locked down all international travel? By that logic Covid being found in Wuhan in 2020 was irrelevant to the rest of the world because it’s “a foreign country.” This mf not understand the modern globalized world?
“Those stats are from some foreign country, completely irrelevant to me.”
What a compelling nationalistic argument…
Typical Nutomic L
This must be a Finn.
it really sucks that nutomic is still an admin at .ml, Dessalines is cool as hell and I respect them a lot, but I have no idea how this fash sympathizing unequivocal piece of shit is allowed to stick around. it makes no sense.
Dessalines is cool as hell
Do cool people often hang out with fash sympathizers or does Dessalines get a pass
they have a GitHub page with essays on communism US atrocity documentation, that’s pretty cool imo.
he and dessalines are the original/main devs of lemmy
Must be good at something specific that most people aren’t.
I needa get off .ml but my application to hexbear never got approved :(

The thing about nutomic that people don’t know unless they’ve been on lemmy since the very early days (including during the “height” of the pandemic, when governments still sort of took it seriously and they were only starting to roll out vaccines), is that he hung out in the anti-vax covid denial community that got purged (he tried to prevent its purge as “free speech.”) He also defended transphobes, and argued on behalf of staying federated with the literal fascist exploding-heads instance. A couple years ago he also went hard to bat to defend the admins of exploding-heads and their right to maintain accounts on his instance because they were good coders who contributed to the lemmy project, and also he thought attacking them was a witch hunt.
A few months ago he also came to the defense of a Lemmy moderator who was defending nude drawings of kids. When people called him out on it, he not only doubled down, but even came to the_dunk_tank to play some disgusting game of semantics where he argued that such content can’t be considered abusive. While Dessalines got rid of that moderator, Nutomic came away unscathed, yet again. I know that people tend to respect Dessalines because of the work he’s put into the platform, but it reflects really badly on him if he’s willing to look the other way while his friend keeps spouting reactionary bullshit.
Good thing viruses abide by national borders
some foreign country
wtf does this dipshit think the ‘pan’ part of pandemic means lol
i absolutely adore the chauvinism dripping from this statement btw
“oh that’s some foreign country” like eat a live grenade goddamn
Wait. Oh, shit… Does COVID affect het people too?!
🍞
I had covid 2 weeks ago that made me take 7 days off work lol but yeah it’s over
Betting they’re totally granting extra sick time for that right?..
1st I got it was a few weeks after extra covid sick time ended in my company.
No, but if i had been here for over a year then yes i would have.
Provincial government mandated 5 paid sick days during the time when governments pretended to care and we get to keep them forever.
My job is actually pretty good but only if you’ve passed the year mark
That’s good!
In your body the pandemic has been over for at least 2 weeks.
Covid stays in your body for up to years after. The party is never over.
Good sweet fuck i hope so
unless you live in nutomic’s basement then your local conditions don’t apply 🙃
Oh right sorry my bad
someone throw this fucking ghoul into a wheat thresher
It’s extra ignorant that he’s doubling down, but I know there are people here who haven’t masked up in two years or more and have similar reasoning, just with the social sense to not say it out loud.
People still catch it routinely where I live, and the local chuddery get hyper aggressive and confrontational if you mask up, so I have some coworkers that despite being immunocompromised won’t because of the logic that a beating by a deranged chud will end them quicker than covid, and the results are what one would expect which is enraging.
the pandemic is not happening in my country
So has your country closed it’s borders to the rest of the world, because if not, that’s not how any of this works.
Okay it turns out we’re the libs and that person is posting from the DPRK. Everyone apologize for not recognizing AES posters.
They’re re-opening tourism (apparently by the end of this year), so they won’t be safe for long.
i remember living in china, and the pandemic being pretty much over by early summer 2020. some small flare ups and strict pandemic control after that though. things were good for a couple of years.
then the rest of the world decided that it’s unfair that china showed that controlling the pandemic was possible, and that every other country were letting their citizens die by the tens of thousands for no reason.
finally restrictions were being lifted, a huge spike in infections obviously resulted, and immediately chinese people travelling overseas were being treated like garbage at every international airport, and in western news there were racist stories about how much these people spread disease, like back to january 2020. suddenly for a short time those western countries cared about the spread of covid again, because they could be racist about it again
I remember being in Australia when it still news when a single person had covid in mid 2021, when the US had cracked 650,000 deaths
Seppos were not very happy about this
In National Review, the flagship magazine of mainstream conservative thought, various headlines have read “When Will Someone Hold Human-Rights Hearings on Australia?,” “Australians Are Suffering from Excessive COVID Lockdowns,” and “When a Western Society Goes Insane.”
A Sept. 9 article in The Federalist declared: “The once free and open Australian continent has effectively become a giant prison for its 26 million residents.”
That same month, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida mused aloud: “Is Australia freer than China, communist China, right now? I don’t know. The fact that that’s even a question tells you something has gone dramatically off the rails with some of this stuff.”
On Sept. 30, Tucker Carlson, the Fox News host, devoted 12 minutes of his show to Australia, documenting its supposed slide into authoritarianism. “One moment the English-speaking world is mocking China for being dystopian and autocratic,” he warned. “The next moment they’re aping China and hunting people down who are two blocks from their homes and smoking a cigarette.”
Two months later, Carlson referred to a quarantine facility in Darwin, Australia, as a “Covid concentration camp.”
In October, Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, got into an exchange with the leader of Australia’s Northern Territory after tweeting, “I’ve always said Australia is the Texas of the Pacific. The Covid tyranny of their current government is disgraceful & sad. Individual liberty matters. I stand with the people of #Australia.”
In November, Joe Rogan, mistaking satire for a real ad, posted on his Instagram account: “Not only has Australia had the worst reaction to the pandemic with dystopian, police-state measures that are truly inconceivable to the rest of the civilized world, but they also have the absolute dumbest propaganda.”
What country do they supposedly live in lmao
Finland
I’m guessing US or Canada, maybe Australia Or Germany.
some mystical place so dissimilar to the US that they can dismiss data from the US as completely irrelevant 🤷♀️
