WTAF?! This is just so stupid...Im all for a little rebellion but, just, NO!

SO there's this thing circulating on FB

<img src="" alt="fight-back" border="0">


The group is Illuminati Exposed *eyeroll*

The stupid asses think that the lockdowns are a dystopian way to control us all and they are encouraging people to gather and protest... UGH

The comments from the Page and people on it are dumbfounding... they are parroting the "it's no worse than the flu" bullshit and people afrent dying that much...it's all about the government taking your power! (handwringing anf crying included in that no doubt)

here's one of the comments:

"They are faking this pandemic so they can steal our freedoms. Yes people are getting sick and dying but more are surviving than dying and some that have died whose death certificate says it was from covid19 actually DIDN'T die from it at all! They do that to make the numbers more in line with the panic... they want to keep people down so they can continue whatever agenda they want! Wake up!"


seriously?

I'm all for a little "power to the people" but now is NOT the time...assholes


ETA:
here's the FB link if you want to have a look

and the website they posted is no good

It is all propaganda about the evil ruling class and how they manipulated everything to mandate a vaccine and force martial law etc etc

(Look, Im just as worried about Trump and his crazy power-grubbing tiny hands...)


BUT
Ironically, none of their pics or memes have anything about Trump at ALL

Interesting....
