this post is just for fun and meant to be light hearted.

context: I forgot that a chunk of the lemmy community kinda likes to petty and I made fun of someone irrelevant to the fediverse for being petty and angry at me, and I asked if anyone else got had any examples of pettiness. some of lemmy users sided with the person I was speaking with and treated me as though I was offended, which was kinda interesting.

I did think a scenario about asking a cop what the worst case of police brutality they witnessed?

remember that tennis player that refused the vaccine because they didn't know what was in it and didn't want to risk their health or performance to the vaccine. being risk adverse is fair, but the league or countries still had a vaccine mandate and its like they shouldn't get an exception because of their conviction, but you could see that antivaxxers would use that to drive people to be anti mandate.

ironically antivaxxers and the right kinda set the example that i should be out and unashamed of my politics, because they were very loud about their politics until trumps second term

You really throw a whole segment of the population into a single bucket here. Everyone is unique.
