yeah, I find these stories super sad. -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 13:44 19
- I don't know if I can feel sad about this. For years we've been railing about the willfully or intentionally ignorant, or even the malicious ones. - Mop Apr 6, 13:47 18
  - Its akin to be sad for idiots being idiots in horror movies. -- nm - Jovian Apr 6, 13:58 2
    - They aren't real people. -- nm - David Apr 6, 14:09 1

  - There's a difference between someone who spouts "it's a hoax" from a home studio while isolating themselves - ty97 Apr 6, 13:51 12
    - I bet his listeners believed it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 13:55 4
      - It was a FB post about the media being 'hysterical' - ty97 Apr 6, 13:57 3
        
        I think the Orange dummy holds a lot of accountability for his fake news bullshit in these cases. -- nm - Dark Calliso Apr 6, 14:09
        
        I blame the far right media who has been mocking it all along. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 13:58 1
        
        I definitely hold the likes of Hannity accountable for what they did -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 13:59
    - ahh this guy believed the virus was real, but that the media was overplaying the hysteria (which was a VERY common theme at the time) -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 13:55 1
      - Exactly. The people who should pay for that aren't the ones who are sick.* - David Apr 6, 14:13
    - Cry for the people who listened to him and get sick or die. -- nm - Mop Apr 6, 13:54 4
      - This guy appears to have listened to the President and his conservative news media zealots and that may well be part of why he died -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 13:56 3
        
        What better way to prove the hoax than go to the biggest possible gathering. nm - Turd ferguson Apr 6, 13:57 2
        
        he never actually called it a hoax -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 13:57 1
        
        "This is their new hoax" -- DJT -- nm - David Apr 6, 14:16
  - What makes this guy all that much different than any other Darwin Award winner? nm - Turd ferguson Apr 6, 13:49 1
    - They're worse, because even if they believe their own B.S., they're going to harm other people. -- nm - Mop Apr 6, 13:50
