    What makes you think she was ever "closed up", let alone that she "stay[ed that way] until vaccines were readily available"?

    And if she was, what makes you think it wasn't because of government mandates forcing her to close her business?

    She is obviously serving unvaccinated people, otherwise she wouldn't have a reason to offer vaccinated-only classes.

    Why should she be punished for giving some of her clientele what they want?

    Then why bother even asking the question?

    In any case, no one's liberty should ever be contingent upon anyone else's "sympathy".

    I see you're still reading everything through that weird filter of yours.

    She teaches yoga full time, yet set up exactly two classes a week for vaxanoiacs. Two per week.

    I think that proves she's not a vaxanoiac herself.

    What makes you assume she is? The fact that she teaches yoga? Her gender? The fact that, like any conservative in business, she's trying to cater to her customers?

    We know she is not as crazy as the customers she was catering to but her gender, the fact that she must have taken the frankenshot or her crazy customers would not come to her, and the yoga makes it almost certain she is a leftist.
    And I don't care if she is a Ron Paul Republican or a Q following Trump fan, she can sell her services to her sane customers and just give up the crazies rather than let the left impose the Mark of the Beast system.

    In other words, you offer a Hobson's Choice between:
    (1) despotic globalist authoritarianism that would love nothing more than to crush and destroy human liberty, versus
    (2) despotic anti-globalist authoritarianism that declares (with "dismissive contempt") that it simply doesn't give a damn if human liberty (or even its own supporters/allies) ends up being crushed and destroyed in the course of its fight against (1).

    "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which." -- George Orwell, Animal Farm

    (And wait! Let me guess: after the glorious victory of despotic anti-globalist authoritarianism, "normal times" will magnanimously be restored and the exercise of human liberty will be permitted once again. Amirite?)

    The problem with Trump is you think you know him until you realize you don't. He is your friend until he is your enemy. He is not in any position to "make" anyone take a vaccine. Trump probably doesn't even know what he would do about mandating vaccines until he did it.

    Well I know what this woman did to contribute to dividing society and imposing the Mark of the Beast system and I have not seen Trump do anything like it.

    But to make it very clear to @Occam's Banana I would not shed a tear if one of Trump's companies violated the Florida law by discriminating against the vax free and was shut down for it.

    How many more signed bills and Trillions of tax payer dollars until you believe he did "anything like it"?



    - Jan 20, 2021 Trump Revokes Lobbying Ban He Signed At The Beginning Of His Presidency

    - As president, Trump: “Just signed 702 Bill to reauthorize foreign intelligence collection,” Trump wrote on Twitter, referring to legislation passed by the U.S. Congress that extends Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The law renews for six years and with minimal changes the National Security Agency (NSA) program.

    - March 27, 2020 President Donald Trump suggested that a Republican congressman be unseated for potentially jeopardizing the passage of the $2 trillion stimulus package, which will provide Americans economic relief amid the coronavirus pandemic. In an attack against a member of his own party, Trump called Rep. Thomas Massie a "third rate Grandstander" and claimed the Kentucky Republican "just wants the publicity" after threatening a roll-call vote, which would require members travel back to the US Capitol to vote in person. He added, "WIN BACK HOUSE, but throw Massie out of Republican Party!"

    - When Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2017, the total national debt was nearly $20 trillion, according to the Treasury Department. It has increased over roughly 30% since, nearly $8 trillion, to $27 trillion, as of Monday. For comparison, President Barack Obama added roughly $9 trillion to the national debt during his eight years in office, according to the Treasury Department.

    - On December 27, 2020 Donald Trump signed the "Stimulus" Bill providing a few hundred dollars to the people and Billions to Bill Gates' GAVI Alliance and Globalist initiatives.

    - In February, the Trump administration had promised to commit $1.16 billion to Gavi over fiscal years 2020-2023. Over the years, the U.S. has contributed 13.7% of the group’s operating budget — $1.4 billion between 2016 and 2020.

    - Bill Gates Led Effort To Get $3.36 Billion Into The Coronavirus Deal

    - Operation Warp Speed (OWS) is a Public–Private partnership, initiated by Donald Trump to facilitate and accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. On March 27 nearly $10 Billion for Operation Warp Speed through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

    - Moncef Slaoui was interviewed and named in May 2020 by the Trump Administration as Operation Warp Speed chief adviser. Slaoui, Moderna Board Member, was formerly Chairman of Global Research and Development and Chairman of Global Vaccines at GlaxoSmithKline. The project has military officers involved in management of the key focus areas of development, manufacturing, and distribution. Slaoui was formerly partnered with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

    - Awarded Moderna $1 Billion and $1.6 Billion to Novavax. BARDA participates in the Department of Defense (DoD) and the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

    So what happens to an employee in Montana that works for a national company with over 100 employees where the Federal Government mandated employees to be vaccinated? What happens to that Montana employee that always travels to other states and is based out of Montana? Companies don't care. They just do not want problems with the government via fines, documentation, regulation... It is much easier for a company to just have one policy. Does this mean that Amazon or some national company will end up taking Montana to court and ultimately to the SCOTUS?

    Random, powerless nobodies who want to offer yoga classes to those seeking a "vaxxed only" option is not the equivalent of "tries to make someone take it".

    You don't get to have it both ways. If not supporting mandatory vaccination is an adequate defense for Trump's full-throated endorsement of the "frankenshots", then it is also an adequate defense for any "Ron Paul Republican or a Q following Trump fan" (as you put it in a previous post) who opposes mandatory vaccinations but is willing to offer "vaxxed only" options in their private business dealings.

    Quote Originally Posted by Swordsmyth View Post

    This woman - a random nobody who has (and had) no power at all, and never will - did nothing to "contribute to dividing society". She didn't do anything but say that she wishes to offer "vaxxed only" yoga classes to those who want such an option. (IOW: She wants to exercise her right to free association and to run her business as she sees fit.) For this, you agreed that she should be treated with "dismissive contempt" and that her rights and liberties should be denied in the name of fighting the implementation of what you call the "Mark of the Beast system".

    But at the same time, Trump - who is not a random nobody, who once did have power, and who might yet have power once again - certainly and absolutely is, by his active endorsement and promotion of the "frankenshots", contributing significantly to the implementation of that very same "Mark of the Beast system" (the need for opposition to which you think justifies some degree of liberty-abating authoritarianism). That Trump does not also endorse making the "frankenshots" mandatory does not change this. Any "contribution" you imagine Rando Nobody Yoga Woman might have made in this regard pales to utter insignificance when compared to Trump's.

    Yet, despite his obviously much greater contribution to the implementation of the "Mark of the Beast system", instead of denouncing him with the "dismissive contempt" of which he must surely be much more deserving than that woman (given the vast disparity between the influence each possesses and wields), you demur and say that he merely "lost points with [you] big time". What does that even mean? How many more "points" does he have to lose with you before he no longer "makes the score" and gets the same kind of sneering denouncements and "dismissive contempt" that Rando Nobody Yoga Woman gets?

    So you are consistent in endorsing the application of liberty-abating authoritarianism to everyone.

    I do not regard this as a strengthening of your position.

    One thing to keep in mind, is that a seemingly despotic position, can still be consistent with liberty, to the degree that the said despot, holds paramount the right to secede
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Yes it is.
    We have a massive movement going on to make people take the shots or be ostracized and she is participating in it.
    Your argument is like saying the NAZI sentry walking guard in an occupied town is not doing anything wrong because he isn't on the front shooting at you.

    No it isn't.
    Trump saying people should take them is not good but other than giving his opinion it does not contribute in any way to coercing people to take them by dividing society between the vaxxed and the vaxx free.

    He will get the same sneering dismissive contempt if and when he tells one of his businesses to voluntarily discriminate against the unvaxxed, especially if it is in Florida where that is explicitly outlawed.

    Your position is to stand back and watch the Mark of the Beast system be implemented and wash your hands like Pilate and the Crucifixion of Christ.
    Liberty will die but you will claim it wasn't your fault.

    Sure, I can go along with that, I guess. At least in theory.

    But another thing to keep in mind is that, in actual practice, despots who have claimed that they hold paramount the right to secede have turned out to be bald-faced liars.

    Exhibit A:

    "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can, may revolutionize, and make their own, of so much of the territory as they inhabit. More than this, a majority of any portion of such people may revolutionize, putting down a minority, intermingled with, or near about them, who may oppose their movement."

    There's a smorgasbord to choose from there, to be sure.

    But for me, the biggest howler comes down to that one or the analogizing of yoga instructors with Nazi sentries.

    And once again your infamous derangement coughs up comedy gold. No, the guy who printed trillions for mad scientists to create the monster--if this is a Frankenshot, then Trump is Dr. Frankenstein, just like he said he was--has less culpability than a podunk yoga instructor offered segregated and desegregated yoga classes to better compete in the marketplace.

    There's no "No Un"vaccinated" Allowed sign. There's just appointments. If this woman held classes for seniors for whatever reason, would you scream of ageism? Do you do the same level of screeching over special education classes? Do you figure they encourage stupidity, or will lead to the elimination of all other classes?

    So, Florida is not only outlawing employment discrimination, but is outlawing freedom of association? One or two classes out of several being offered are segregated, and Florida law intervenes, just as if her customers were employees?

    No. You're lying again. These things you say are not true.

    Nice dodge.
    I didn't say she was doing more to spread THE SHOTS.
    She is doing more to spread the mandates and segregation that will result in none being able to buy or sell without them. (death by starvation as punishment)

    Trying to take her actions out of the context of the cultural war over forced vaccination will not work.

    Florida law prohibits discrimination against customers over their vaccine status. Cry more.
    Florida knows a slippery slope is stopped at the beginning and not after it gains momentum.
