I know you all (most of you all) are just joking. But please remember that COVID didn't originate from Ft. Detrick either.
*yes I know a lot of other biological weapons did

How do you know?

I read this comment 4 times before I finally got the joke

Joke?

Obviously not, but I wonder where the line is between us being ironic, to it becoming a thing in leftist spaces unironically.

Nah you're right for this. It's becoming a bit of a trend to rely purely on vibes to analyze things, because leftist vibes are correct more often than not.
However, not utilizing material analysis, research, and critical thought is a very dangerous habit to get into.

I agree, and while I find the bit funny (especially because the Detrick thing was started by PRC media as a clap back against baseless claims of intentional release by the Chinese), I think if we teeter too close to that edge too often, we might become a little too used to that way of thinking.

No it wasn't

No it wasn't
I clearly remember it was circulated by many media accounts on Western social media. Especially from CGTN

People were literally talking here about how ft detrick's waste water sterilization was broken for a year before shutting down in 2019 before China even said anything though
China mentioning it was the
cherry on top-
Well I wasn't here during that

It has already unironically been a thing here on hexbear. E.g.

I do think it's actually a plausible theory, and the more they talk about the Wuhan lab the more suspicious I get about ft Dietrich.

TBH I don't feel like I know enough about the details to be anything but agnostic at this point, I just know I would not be surprised in the least if the U.S. military (usually via Ft. Detrick) origin theory did turn out to be real. There are some users here who I respect that do find it very plausible or even likely, and that alone is enough for me to not want it relegated to "a theory we do not entertain at hexbear." I share your suspicions. I'd also be fine to see the theory totally shot down. But I can't help but hate the idea of there being an official hexbear line of flat denial, you know?

Not complaining, but it's funny/admirable how leftists are OK with policing each other's jokes. Tbh often I'll mentally have an idea for badposting, but then scratch it as "ironic bigotry is still bigotry".
-
I think it is good to be cautious about potential missunderstandings.
-
You police your own jokes? Sorry, but all cops means all cops, enjoy your ban.
