  • The more stuff like this that happens, the more chance of real change towards oppression which is disadvantaging millions. It's not comparable to a few extra people dying of covid. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 5:07pm)

  • > It’s a privileged perspective, to state that I am solely being a good citizen by staying home. At the root, it’s racism that is perpetuating the inequities of Covid-19, that caused George Floyd to be murdered, that has police using excessive force on peaceful protesters. It’s racism that has a national leader potentially unleashing militarization upon the country. >As a public health professional, I recognize the challenges of a pandemic, but this is a moment that so many of us do not have the privilege to turn away from.

  • Global class/race based oppression > few hundred cunts crowded around a speaker in Glasgow Green for an hour. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 5:44pm)
  • I won't see anybody outside my house for the foreseeable. I wore a n99 mask, gloves and used sanitiser, get a grip. Theres people back to work and mingling on larger scales across the country. It's a non-issue in comparison to the first few rows next to the speaker in Glasgow Green getting crowded for an hour. >Powell: It’s a privileged perspective, to state that I am solely being a good citizen by staying home.

  • The bigger picture, however, does. The systematic abuse and corruption is what led to the poor handling of coronavirus and countless other atroceties. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 5:49pm)
  • That is true for any increased interaction. I think the nuance is lost on you here. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 5:45pm)
  • I wasn't arguing against that, the nuance was in priorities. This is more important. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 5:51pm)
  • Because systematic oppression is a much more severe pandemic. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 7:43pm)
  • Of course it shouldn't be the answer, but the reality is that it is. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 7:43pm)
  • Of course I did, I linked it for the rational discussion that was given there rather than looking for a 'gotcha' and the intellectual dishonestly you're displaying. >It said "I mean, it is true that if you go back out there, we’re going to see spikes of disease". "Try to keep to smaller groups"; "keep your mask on at all times". I never disagreed with any of that? >I assume you went and are trying to make yourself feel better about going. Of course I went, and I'll go to every other one. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 7:41pm)
  • It was a different protest that was cancelled. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 7:48pm)
  • > Secondly, this isn't comparable to Kelvingrove or Queen's Park on a sunny day. I was routinely stopped by police for sitting on a bench in Kelvingrove, one of the other comments links images of the scale of the gathering today and it's clearly at least in the tens of thousands. How long ago? Past few weeks has been fairly relaxed in the parks. Not as crowded obviously but not masses of difference in overall amount of people. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 7:46pm)
  • Where does making people go back to work and denying 700k from furlough fit into this list of atrocities? by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 7:45pm)
  • How is it unrelated? How are a few hundred people bunched together in Glasgow Green for an hour anywhere near on the scale as prematurely restarting the economy with no concern for people who are disproportionally affected by this pandemic? Getting a grip mate, these protests have been going on long before George Floyd and will continue until people like you stop spreading whataboutism pish. Seizing all momentum now results in less net overall suffering generations down the line. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_of_2019 All good for you to dictate what is acceptable from your privileged standpoint - it's not up to you what is more important. We'll take the pandemic seriously when the government starts taking us seriously. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 7:55pm)

  • Jennifer Nuzzo, a Johns Hopkins epidemiologist, tweeted on Tuesday. “In this moment the public health risks of not protesting to demand an end to systemic racism greatly exceed the harms of the virus.” The injustice that’s evident to everyone right now needs to be addressed,” Abraar Karan, a Brigham and Women’s Hospital physician who’s exhorted coronavirus experts to amplify the protests' anti-racist message, told me. "While I have voiced concerns that protests risk creating more outbreaks, the status quo wasn’t going to stop #covid19 either," he wrote on Twitter this week. It’s a message echoed by media outlets and some of the most prominent public health experts in America, like former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Tom Frieden, who loudly warned against efforts to rush reopening but is now supportive of mass protests. Their claim: If we don’t address racial inequality, it’ll be that much harder to fight Covid-19. There’s also evidence that the virus doesn’t spread easily outdoors, especially if people wear masks. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/04/public-health-protests-301534 by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 8:01pm)

I was never closer than 2m to anyone, wore gloves and a N99 mask, my risk is 0. I'm also awaiting a (suspected positive) antibody test. Me standing on my door wouldn't make the news.

  • I'm not your fuckin da bawbag, I'm dexters da. Not spoonfeeding you. He's the former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director, I'm assuming he's got more of a clue than you. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 8:25pm)
  • My sister, mum and aunt are all NHS workers and my partner is a social worker. My aunt is battling covid right now. Solidarity for the ever-approaching class war is of utmost importance and negates any peak that could be measured on a graph. by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 8:59pm)

  • This is concern trolling and a ridiculous demonstration of privilege and lack of awareness. Staying home and staying silent is exactly what the status quo would have you do which is what has led to untold suffering - I'm not sure if you're completely naive or complicit by dexters_da (Sun 7th Jun 2020 11:54pm)
  • Right, I thought that might be the case. Says online only open Sunday so I guess they don't advertise the wholesale one, cheers. by dexters_da (Wed 1st Jul 2020 9:39am)

  • Packaging/transport/refrigeration (before it gets to me) is a concern. Also, I'd be seasoning, slow-roasting, etc it too - so it'd only really eliminate the slicing it part which I just do roughly anyway since it's being blended. by dexters_da (Wed 1st Jul 2020 9:42am)

  • They should've been arrested there and then, people were down taking pictures - they knew it was happening. Problem is nobody has a fucking clue or wants to take responsibility for anything anymore. by dexters_da (Sat 4th Jul 2020 2:20am)
