Is there any point in keeping it going? i'm still in the corner of the bar, sitting on my preludin stool, observing and trying to rouse.

I appreciate Fange's efforts - the latest music years thread is a good one.
Why is no-one else bothering?

The whole process of labelling people according to an intellectual or political stance they hold and then assigning them a value of sorts is, in my eyes, a bad direction we are going in. Are you equally bothered with this labelling being applied to the left? I think people who are left-oriented politically are misguided, but I'd never deny them their viewpoint or castigate them so much that they are ostracised from society. We live in a democracy. In my view the stance against antivaxxers is authoritarian in nature.

But the vaccination programme becomes pointless if not enough people do it. This is one issue where there is no middle ground.

I'm thankful for the people who are so vocal in their anti-vaxx beliefs in the same way I appreciate those who fly 'Don't Blame Me I Voted For Trump' flags. It allows me to know who to avoid.

It is the same thing as 'Tory scum' or whatever. No it isn't. The Tory Scum thread is about elected members of the Tory party abusing their position, being incompetent, on the take, or general predators, in the same way that, say, Black Heroes Month is about black people who hve done things or led lives that could be considered as heroic, rather than ascribing heroic status to all Black people. Using nouns adjectivally in this way is quite common in English.

Many people would prefer to live in a benevolent dictatorship, particularly if it aligned with their political perspective. A Liberal Democracy by nature can be difficult due to the fact that we have to tolerate other points of view.
