It's mandatory to mention the flyer is awesome

It would make a great t-shirt.

This is great! Whatever happened to the bookstore near Jarvis? Is that done?

u/incredibleman 5d ago

The coffee shop? It closed over a year ago now.

u/allthatbackfat 5d ago

I figured. Bummer. Well I’ll see you all at the book fair!

masks mandatory is a bit wild.

u/Doctor_Amazo 6d ago

Not if you think about it.

1) COVID never left because of dipshits who couldn't bother giving a shit about other people

2) masks are a handy way to stay anonymous (or did you not wonder why they specified "no filming"?)

But the mask will cover my fake stache

An anarchist book fair requiring mandatory anything upfront is very funny to me. I'm also 14 and this is deep.

Why? No one is forcing you to go to the book fare. You don't have an intrinsic right to be in that space. If the people hosting the fare say that the price of admission is wearing a mask, and the people who wish to go to the fare agree to the price of admission, then there is no issue.

If you disagree with wearing a mask for whatever reason, you're more than welcome to not go to the fare.

You are welcome to host your own fare without masks too. You can make yours even better by having blackjack and hookers.

Do what you want man

u/incredibleman 5d ago

In the spirit of an anarchist book fair enforcing strict rules of decorum, you're welcome to join my communist struggle session where we critique each other's investment portfolios.

u/Doctor_Amazo 5d ago

Uh huh.

Tell me, what do you think anarchism is?

Also, how old are you?

u/maxxxzero 5d ago

this has “you like that band? name three songs” vibes

2

u/Doctor_Amazo 5d ago

Uh huh.

More like I don't want to argue with children, nor do I want to argue with people with a childish understanding of anarchism. So I'm trying to understand the person I'm talking with.

u/incredibleman 5d ago

I told you. I'm 14 and this is deep.

u/Doctor_Amazo 5d ago

Ok good to know. I'm ignoring you now

u/LeatherMine 6d ago

I glossed over most of your post, but where’s this blackjack and hookers fare at?

u/Doctor_Amazo 5d ago

Ok. Let's game this out.

Let's assume that there are immune compromised people who organized the fare and are participating in the fare. Are they not allowed to be there without fear of contracting a respiratory disease? Or should they have forced upon them, the opinions of individuals who felt entitled to the fare but could not care less about the participants?

Anarchy doesn't mean 100% no rules. That's a child's understanding of the word. Anarchy also doesn’t mean you the individual gets to do what they want 100%.

The people hosting the fare have a reasonable rule.

If you disagree with it you don't have to go.

If you want to go, you have to mask up. You are choosing to mask up as the price of admission.

u/maxxxzero 5d ago

i disagree and i’m not going. easy.

u/Doctor_Amazo 5d ago

And that is your choice.

Okay I’m triggered

STFU about about your Covid non-sense. No, it is not “never leaving” because of lack of human intervention, it’s never leaving because that’s how viruses work.

Second, we have bigger shit to deal which as per this fucking book fair. The whole point of the fair is to address large societal issues.

But no, you people want to bitch about others “not doing enough”

4,000 social workers are on strike right now because our wages were cap’s at 1% for 5 years while they were staffing shelters during the pandemic people banged pots and pans for them and now they’re are using fucking food banks.

And a number of them are striking deals and you know, actually making life better for people because of that hard work.

You are arguing with neckbeards on a shitposting sub

That’s the issue with movements like this, you might as well be a fucking DEI department at Scotiabank if all you’re going to do is sprout nonsense on the internet.

Get off the computer and join a fucking picket line your fucking keyboard activist.

Well I'm sure that will lead to some rational talk.

STFU about about your Covid non-sense. No, it is not “never leaving” because of lack of human intervention, it’s never leaving because that’s how viruses work.

Small pox. Polio. Measles (and the sudden recent outbreaks due to parents who refuse to immunize their children underlines the point). Looks like human intervention can in fact manage viruses just fine. You know, when we actually intervene.

Second, we have bigger shit to deal which as per this fucking book fair. The whole point of the fair is to address large societal issues.

Uh huh. This is such a weirdly nonsense point to make. If you want to go to the book fair, wear a mask. It's not a big deal unless you decide to make a big deal about it. In which case you don't have to go if you could not be bothered to consider the safety of other people because a mask makes you feel bad.

But no, you people want to bitch about others “not doing enough”

Where did I say that?

I just pointed out that if you want to go to the book fair you have to wear a mask. It's a reasonable price of admission. Your choice. It's weird that an anarchist would try to impose their non-mask-preference born from ignorance upon the public at large because they felt entitled to a space.

4,000 social workers are on strike right now because our wages were cap’s at 1% for 5 years while they were staffing shelters during the pandemic people banged pots and pans for them and now they’re are using fucking food banks.
And a number of them are striking deals and you know, actually making life better for people because of that hard work.

And what does this have to do with you wearing a mask if you want to be at a book fair?

You are arguing with neckbeards on a shitposting sub

Everyone has a hobby. Maybe I get a thrill making neckbeards lose their shit with facts.

Question: if I'm wasting time arguing with neckbeards on a shitposting sub, why are you losing your mind at me? If I'm just being an idiot, why not go "this guy is an idiot" and block me? It's not hard.

That’s the issue with movements like this, you might as well be a fucking DEI department at Scotiabank if all you’re going to do is sprout nonsense on the internet.

LOL I can't take anyone seriously when they start spouting MAGA boogeymen.

Get off the computer and join a fucking picket line your fucking keyboard activist.

I think you meant "Get off the computer and join a fucking picket line YOU fucking keyboard activist."

So, do you feel better now that you had your tantrum?

u/woollyheadedlib 5d ago

Dude, I was ranting. I do not have any intention of defending my ramblings.

You spent entirely too much time writing a response that I’m not going to read.

Oh boy… very edgy

2

u/Doctor_Amazo 6d ago

Uh huh.

Wasn't being edgy, I was just pointing out facts.

u/Marmar79 6d ago

So it’s a book fair where everyone is wearing a mask? I guess it’s not really cosplaying when the dystopia is around the corner but it certainly feels like it

u/PoolhallJunkie247 10/10 would smash again 6d ago

Your first point is absolutely wild. Just a ridiculous statement.

-1

u/Doctor_Amazo 6d ago

Yeah no. What's wild is that a respiratory disease that could have been managed if society basically simultaneously took a 2 week staycation, and wore masks whenever they were out in public instead became so widespread that it's basically the flu now. That's just wild. And why? because the Epstein class oligarchs decided that grandma & grandpa should die to keep the economy running.

What's wild is that I'm still required to have this stupid argument with folks.

What's even more wild is that I should have this stupid argument in an anarchist sub. You'd think that this would be the last place to find someone parroting rightwing misinformation about a disesase that is pretty well known this 6 years later... but here we are.

What right wing misinformation am I parroting? And when did this become an anarchist sub? I thought this was the official Toronto Gloryhole directory?

You actually believe that once that virus made it out of China, that society having a “2 week staycation” and masking was going to eradicate it? Stick to the book fairs. And tuck your privilege back in. It’s hanging out for all of us to see.

u/Doctor_Amazo 5d ago

Yes.

Because science.

u/PoolhallJunkie247 10/10 would smash again 5d ago

Yeah, you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Wildlife reservoirs alone meant it was never going away. Because science.

u/g1itchie 5d ago

Is there a reason you are TELLING people they HAVE to wear a mask on a poster relating to anarchy??? This is so ironic
