    Is this fuckhead trying to say that doctors and nurses are resonsible for Covid deaths?

      It's the nature if the echo chamber. You find something to be mad about, and you keep shouting about it.

      And there'll always be someone new enough to be freshly outraged about it, so the people who've already done so find new ways to shout their complaint to the delight and outrage of everyone else.

      Pretty sure we have such bits too. I just happen to largely agree with them.

      That would damage him more than any physical pain ever could

      Not even better pay, just adequate staffing. The strikes I've seen have been just over staffing ratios, and even when the hospital offered better pay instead, they refused.

    I can't be the only one who carries a blowtorch and an iron brand in the shape of a YouTube thumbs down dislike at all times, in case I see him

      He's been to scandinavia before, and I'm really hoping he comes back, so I can debate him in the marketplace of ideas (with a shovel) if I happen to run into him.

    Ah yes, a Nurse going on their 15 minute break and doing a Tik Tok Dance is the sole reason for why for grandparent violently coughed up blood and drowned in their own fluids. It totally isn't the carefree and selfish attitude of many Americans to pussy to wear a face mask in a grocery store for fifteen minutes and half hazardly spreading a disease to everyone and everything they come in contact with all in the name of personal freedom. God I hate suburbanite/class traitor Americans, truly their just a blight on humanity.

    You know, I can kinda understand why people listen to people like Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson, cause if you don't know anything about anything, they sound competent and smart. I can see why some people get convinced by them.

    But I cannot for the life of me imagine anyone listen to this bumbling moron Tim Pool, this guy who clearly has no idea what he's talking about, and think that he's in any way worth listening to.

    Will never forget that clip where he talks about how he's 34 and has no family yet and then says, without a shred of irony or self-awareness for that matter, that it's definitely not him, it has to be everyone else. (https://twitter.com/theserfstv/status/1229968667531563008)

    Made the mistake of looking in the replies hoping for dunk. Came out even more enraged than the content itself made me, and that was already pretty fucking enraging.

    Can someone point a link to the original "doctors/nurses dancing" incident that got the reactionary echo chambers all riled up?

    I haven't seen it directly, but I have seen this sort of sentiment from a fair amount of reactionaries online, so I'm assuming there's something, like a single TikTok or what have you, that the right is blowing out of proportion, in order to shift blame away from themselves for covid.

    But I haven't seen it. I've just seem them be angry about it, as if every single healthcare worker breaks out into a dance everytime someone dies.

    are there real Tim Pool fans? I feel like a lot of these guys have gimmicks - Shapiro talks a little fast, for example - but Pool is just transparently stupid and dishonest. I know that I'm right, but what would a fan say? Is it his hat?
