‘The White Rose’ is a British anti-vax/anti-Covid restrictions organisation.

I’ve seen their flyers everywhere in London.

It appears to be based on the original White Rose movement in Germany 1942 which opposed the Nazis.

So it’s a movement equating Covid laws with sinister, tyrannical Nazi-like government over-reach

People who try to conflate public health measures with genocidal tyrants are mentally incompetent fucks, the kind of reprobates who made Alex Jones $165m in three years through the sale of ‘supplements’.

Yeah. While I don’t agree with how far some of the Covid restrictions have gone and how seemingly haphazard and incompetently they’ve been implemented…I still wouldn’t go so far as to say they’re Nazi-like power grabs.

There’s the boiled frog analogy, sure - but in general I still have faith that many of these measures won’t be permanent and be mostly wound back by 2025 at the latest.

See I got the feeling it'd be something like that. Thing is this was in Perth Western Australia which is especially funny because we've had little to no restrictions this entire time.

At UWA right? Yeah I've seen them around and thought they would be based Mr Robot fans but instead they're just stupid Anti vaxxers.

Wouldn't be surprised if whatever this is has already been spotted and posted here a few times but it's the first I've seen of it.

Haven't checked the site yet. Probably because it'll be more interesting as a mystery I came across than whatever it actually is and the stuff about freedoms might be something stupid.
