They tried using those labels which no one is buying anymore. I doubt most people believe much of what the mainstream media is selling, and thankfully there are ways to find the truth. I wonder how many people actually get the "news" the old way now.

It’s still pretty bad out there. Most people get their news via Facebook, and they still think being “antivax” is literally insane, not to mention tacky.

Tacky? Wow!

I'm being earnest here. I'm an American ex-pat who has lived in Japan for 19 years, so as much as I try to keep up with the way people think about things, I'm looking from the outside in.

From my perspective, anyone who withstood the massive propaganda campaign to "get the jab" has my freakin' respect. Tacky is the last word I'd use to describe us! How about courageous?
