Sort of missing the point
Another delicious hack shows Demon Newsom and his demonic cohort enjoying a meal INSIDE at a restaurant, cozily gathered around a table, no muzzles anywhere in sight.

The commenters are pointing out the obvious hypocrisy, but they're missing the deeper point. The point is epistemology, not ethics.

These pictures show that the demons KNOW THERE IS NO RISK. The demons KNOW THIS IS NOT AN EPIDEMIC. The demons KNOW THIS IS NOT A DANGEROUS VIRUS, if in fact it's a virus at all. The demons KNOW THAT THE WHOLE THING IS A HOAX.

If they knew this was a real disease, they would be taking real steps to avoid it for themselves, whether anyone was watching or not.

One of the commenters is tragically missing the point. "This type of thing makes it harder for those of us who are trying to convince the deniers that the risk is serious." True, but you should step back and ask a bigger question. You are blindly obeying the WORDS of your leaders. You can see with your own eyes that the leaders DON'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY'RE SAYING. So why do you believe what they're saying when they don't believe it?

I remember what pulled me away from the 9/11 hoax, which I had blindly obeyed for several years. It was a similar insight into what Bush actually knew and believed. When Bush allowed the Saudis to take over one of our ports, I realized that he was NOT FIGHTING THE ARABS OR MUSLIMS. He was allied with Saudi, not fighting Saudi. At the same time he was convincing the rest of us to take the Saudi-sponsored "terrorists" seriously. BUT: I still didn't fully switch modes until I threw away the TV in 2010. At first I just thought Bush was incompetently failing to fight the terrorists. He was making it harder for those of us who were trying to convince the Truthers that terrorism was serious.

One sort of halfway quasi-positive sidenote: This hack was carried loudly by a mainstream TV station, not a secretive hacker. Several mainstream stations in Calif are steadily taking the side of truth. Even the NYTimes is starting to write more truth while still trying to slant it the other way. Berenson and similar aggregators are now citing more NYTimes features instead of independent data-gathering bloggers. I don't know if this trend will continue, but it is consistent with my prediction that the media would calm down after Biden Puppet replaced Trump Puppet.
