Facebook Follies of Friends and Families

[The Minsky Moment]

Hundreds of thousands of children "go missing" in the USA every year. Fortunately, the vast majority of those are returned very quickly.

How many of those COVID deaths are getting back up?

Why do liberals only care about COVID deaths while nothing is being done about the rampant zombie problem?

[Valmy]

They have been saying they are hugely inflated since April. It is why there is little useful discussion going on in the United States now, nobody can even agree on the basic facts, which makes it hard to agree on any action.

And likewise I am not entirely convinced that child sex traffickers are running the US government.

798 children went missing in just one day?

796 showed up within an hour of being reported missing?

I think the meme writers picked the wrong issue to which compare covid deaths; the children missing one is really stupid.

They should have gone with heart disease. It really does kill more people, and you could work angles like that it disproportionately kills men (so does covid, but whatever) that the media doesn't care about (maybe even that the media doesn't realize the huge cost of families without fathers!). The age of death is younger (I think, didn't check) and most are preventable, but we don't shut down the economy to save those lives (because heart disease can't be blamed on Trump before an election). Probably most agricultural companies lean republican, but maybe there is one that leans democrat that you can tie into some nefarious lobbying.

The point of the meme is not that Covid is less dangerous than [insert topic here], but that thousands and thousands of children in the US disappear, to be sold into (sex) slavery.

It is a Qanon thing, they don't care about heart disease.

Well that is epically stupid.

If heart disease was contagious the same people would be calling to close stuff down, and for the same reason.

We don't shut down the economy to save people from heart disease because enforcing social distance doesn't do anything to stop heart disease, unless you practice distancing from beef jerky  Lefty types do express interest in heart disease - i.e. promoting healthy diet and greater access and utilization of health care. As Valmy indicates, that is not of interest to the average Qanoner

that's some underground complex for a single pizzeria!  Maybe there's more than one?

How do we solve the problem of moronic assholes making memes?

I was thinking it is definitely progress that during this latest pandemic, the Jews are blamed through a very elaborate and obscure reimagination of age-old tropes, so much so that probably many people believing them don't actually make the direct connection to baby-eating Jews in their mind.

Compare that to pandemics of earlier centuries where they would just straight out pogrom Jews for it, and you can see clear progress.

  Where do all these harvested organs go?  Over here, a kidney on the black market still costs you an arm and a leg.

[Zanza]

That actually corresponds to reputable international statistics on trafficking of children, so it does not fit this thread I guess. We all should be mad about that.
