He was just live on FoxNewsHD
with his wife.


He says he posts other views
on Covid
and then says "what do you think of it"




I can see why the Stopped his account on Facebook
he should not have posted any old link
on Covid.

It's his own doing.

Automatically banning people for voicing stupid conspiracy theories just gives fuel to the "they must be covering something!!" nutters.

My aunt (who loves David Ike...) was earnestly telling me about how the vaccine will turn everyone into communists. I tried googling this, and the nearest thing I could find was another bonkers theory that said China released the virus in order to cripple economies and make counties collapse into communism, or something?

She's pretty into this stuff so I doubt it was a misreading on her part; but being unable to even find a reference or debunking of something so obviously stupid does smell a bit fishy.

I understand that discouraging people from getting the vaccine isn't on, but neither is the wholesale shutting down of conversations .

You've NEVER HEARD of Kevin Sorbo?? Hercules?? Captain Dylan Hunt?? Come on now Cherie... did you SLEEP through the late 90's and early-2000's? You have a whole world of cheap, wonderful television to catch up on.

The biggest twist is that, no, this is NOT a porn parody. This was the actual show.

I can see both sides of this really. On one hand, the disinformation that goes around on Social Media is just an absolute mess. On the other... ... every corner of social media is so packed with various flavours of disinformation, "instabanning" one variety feels like serious hypocrisy. I can't remember the last time I saw a Facebook post that DIDN'T contain some sort of disinformation.

The answer of course isn't banning Sorbo. It's deleting Facebook entirely. And Twitter. And all of 'em. Just burn Social Media to the ground. Maybe the internet in general.

Not without nursing a hangover whilst watching **** like Hercules and Andromeda you didn't. A half-life of stunted partying at best.

Social media does need to die tbh. You can usually tell someone who spends their life online - miserable, joyless people who get angry at every little thing that happens in politics or even the Twitterverse...

Anyway, if someone chooses not the get the jab because of something they read online, that could be seen as Darwin in action :hehe:

...I’m just watching his Right Now interview atm ...my first impression would be a guy filled with irony ...as he describes Facebook people/users as sad and pathetic and similar such descriptives...and is obviously unhappy with the closing down of his account with 500,000 followers...or in the interest of consistency, that would be 500,000 sad and pathetic users who follow him...and he himself also being one of those users/sad pathetic people...I mean the whole concept of criticising any social media site in terms of their users, while being part of that site yourself....crazy, crazy and irony filled crazy...and him being banned for being himself and not being a follower...while wanting his followers back because obviously he feels followers are needed...so much irony and lack of awareness and not one mirror in plain sight...

A large ego; he doesn't put himself in the same category as "those people" and sees no irony in believing that he is to be followed, and most others are to be followers.

It comes across by the shovel-load in his performances in the fantastically trashy shows mentioned above... I suspect he's not much of an actor... that's just him. Captain Dylan Hunt, big ol' swinging cock of the Systems Commonwealth.

He is a meme - hence gathering only a few thousand for his new account. I suspect he doesn't realise that most of the 500,000 weren't following him for his political views.

...younger pathetic and sad users is what he feels they are, Arista...or is what he’s really saying ...that those who don’t have his same opinion etc are pathetic and sad and only them...?...his 500,000 followers are not sad or pathetic but very lovely in their totally independent thought...while following him...

Haha, your aunt sounds bonkers, but in a good way :D Ones like that are harmless..its when you have the more believable ones that become a bit of an issue, especially if they are so believable a large amount of people believe then spread it more. Mind, FB have for ages been countering 'non facts' with fact checkers, to do with covid stuff. They censored something I wrote months ago, I didnt question anything to do with covid really, simply questioned the effectiveness of lockdown...and got some 'facebook fact checked this post!!!' thing added onto mine! :laugh:

But yeah, he's been known to be a right wing conspiracy nut for a while now. He can flock to Parler with the rest of the crazies.

I have to put a vote in for Andromeda honestly. Sci-fi channel mixed with dodgy Channel 5 soap opera, Sorbo running around with his barely-disguised-innuendo "force lance" and clenched jaw...

Sounds interesting, but not on the level of the cliched, angry, atheistic philosophy professor who loses a debate against his friendly, joyful, christian student, proving once and for all that god exists, before getting run over in a hit and run and asking god for forgiveness as he dies in the care of 2 christians.
