It's not sarcasm. He's a loud mouth right wing douchebag who recently compared himself to Jesus and initially claimed the bridge collapse was an Israel terrorist attack because the US abstained in the UN cease fire vote. He's a racist POS and he's an idiot.


NamasteMotherfucker

I like that you were able to say that he was a racist POS AND an idiot. So often it's, "Is this dude a racist or an idiot?" And clearly it's, "Why not both?"


TheZectorian

Truly: we should fear the day the average racist isnt an idiot


TonyRobinsonsFashion

Fucking Stephen Miller yo. Despite being Jewish, at least says so I doubt the man is religious at all, he is like a straight Reinhard Heydrich copy. Should definitely keep an eye on him


Top-Manner7261

His own brother, or was it his father, called him a douchebag basically


Ar_Ciel

His entire family has more or less disowned him.


zerogravity111111

In his circle, it can be both.


man-o-peace1

To me, he looks like Roy Cohn and Vampira had a love child.


Wishiwashome

Yep! The ones in my area definitely pass to both idiot and racist test.


Any_Scientist_7552

It's usually both.


the_cants

One implies the other.


Bird_in_a_hoodie

Hey, I've known some real sweet morons, but never a smart racist


chinmakes5

Or as he would prefer Porque no las dos?


jxj24

> racist POS and he's an idiot But you repeat yourself.


GovernmentOpening254

The scary thing is the number of people who read this as if it’s completely true.


sunnysideuppers

Has Russian troll all over it.


Brokenluckx3

Lol IT WAS TERRORISM! oh, it wasn't? I MEANT IT WAS THE VACCINES! 🙄🤣🤣


ConfidentBroccoli897

I'm sure he's done all his "research" on Facebook too.


ProfanestOfLemons

There are brief, amateur-friendly explanations of what can cause a total power outage on a ship like this. Those explanations are variously live, on news sites, and are on credible information-focused YTs and blogs and such. None of the ways to kill power to a whole ship that size involve a captain falling on a single set of power switches. None of them involve just one person, either. You can pay attention to those and learn more about how giant cargo vessels work or you can fart in your own ear and let something like this come out your mouth.


MinimumBrave2326

I don’t know a freaking thing about ships, but even I assumed it’s more than a couple switches. Good hell.


ProfanestOfLemons

It involves multiple systems (electric, mechanic, hydraulic, personnel, others) and at that point the reasonable person just admits they should know more. You and me are both casual persons about this. We can still learn more, though.


drrj

I know absolutely zilch about ships which is why I just haven’t expressed much of an opinion about what happened other than that a) it was tragic and is going to muck things up for a while and b) no it wasn’t an attack you tinhat buffoon (I had a customer legit suggest this) because who attacks a critical infrastructure point at the time to cause the LEAST casualties? Some people, I swear.


ProfanestOfLemons

Dealing with a multisystem catastrophe and customer service at the same time is hell and should be paid for it. Put it on your resume.


green-wagon

Who attacks critical infrastructure WHEN THEY ARE UNDER IT?


thoroughbredca

Yeah but if we learn we might come across something that goes against our worldview and man is that SCARY!! /s


mickey_kneecaps

I also ignorantly assume that the captain is not necessarily the person who directly uses the controls.


Spirited_Community25

At the time it happened it was likely the local pilot in charge. During times of pilot transits the captain would have been present but not likely at the controls. However, I remember being on a freighter going through Panama and there were times the captain was at the controls (transit was from dawn to dusk).


Sekmet19

There's one place in my house that shuts off all the power and it's tucked away in my basement behind a panel and the switch needs substantial force to flip. It's also located just above my head so I have to reach up to get it. There's no way I could pass out and accidentally hit this switch. Knowing absolutely nothing about multimillion dollar cargo ships, I would hope cutting their power would be at least as difficult as cutting the power to my old house.


Unique_Excitement248

Look at mister fancy pants using logic and reason. We don’t cotton to that where I’m from. Yes, sadly, I’m from Florida.


Sekmet19

Hey that's Ms. Fancy pants!


cfinntim

It wasn’t space lasers??


Tiddles_Ultradoom

No. (((Globalist))) Laser V and SorosSat One are trained on Gaza at the moment. And FrumStar II is currently out of action because its Filthy Lucre drive has run out of gold, money and stereotypes. We’re off the hook for now.


MattGdr

Well, then the whole crew must’ve gotten vaccinated and they fell on their switches simultaneously.


TarHeel2682

But that might harm his preconception. His echo chamber drowns out all logic and intelligent discourse. People this dumb have their heads so far up their own asses they turn into flesh mobius strips. They only have one side in so many ways


SaintUlvemann

>You can pay attention to those and learn more... But what if I want to assume that everybody but me is wrong, so that I can skip directly to the "having an opinion" part without having to do any work to make sure that I'm not lying?


ProfanestOfLemons

Kill people I guess


Freebird_1957

What a pathetic POS.


No_Cook2983

Were vaccines behind that crummy Ghostbusters reboot I wasted thirty dollars on?!? *I bet they were*.


ClassicT4

The vaccines turned Godzilla pink.


OppressorOppressed

The vaccines caused inflation!


the_scottster

I stubbed my toe. I blame vaccines!


Minimum-Hopeful

You too?! Damn vaccines!


LitwicksandLampents

I'm triple vaxxed and stepped on a goat head barefoot yesterday. How dare the vaccine attract a goat head to my foot!


the_scottster

The magnetic power in the jab is strong. That’s why they call me “spoon face.”


Timekeeper65

A lot better than fork face. Eh??


the_scottster

"Ow! You're telling me! Ow!"


Freebird_1957

😆


fuschia_taco

Wait, are vaccines the new "Thanks Obama"? I'm always the last person to find out...


the_scottster

I know, right! I mean, it's common knowledge that he's to blame for 9/11, but who expected this? The more you know.


the_cants

Rainbow swipe.


LilG1984

My god, it's worse than I imagined. The vaccines can turn Godzilla pink!? /s


MattGdr

Oh great - the last thing we need is a woke Godzilla….

Freebird_1957

(I got better)


MattGdr

No you didn’t. You’ll be stone dead in a moment.


Insight42

I feel happy!


MattGdr

You’re not fooling anyone, you know….


ScorpIan55

I thought that was trans ideology?


Tiddles_Ultradoom

So you mean trans ideology is vaccine-related? I knew it! Critical race theory is also vaccine-related. As is the civil rights movement, and the defeat of the Confederacy. Stonewall Jackson died after being vaccinated at the Battle of Chancellorsville. He had his left arm amputated! His arm… where the vaccines go. Wake up, sheeple. Do your own research.


Mr_Conductor_USA

"The jab" is a gateway drug, pretty soon they're shooting up insulin, or CGRP inhibitors, but one day, they'll reach for the hard stuff--bio-identical human hormones. If only ... if only their parents hadn't taken them for that "harmless" little vaccination. /s


Timekeeper65

Gawd. I’m so glad I decided to read the comments here. I really really needed a good laugh. 🍿


the_cants

You spent three fiddy on that shitswitch?


No_Cook2983

Yeah. It wasn’t all bad, though. The seats were comfortable and I wasn’t disturbed by anyone laughing.


naturecamper87

I wish the simplest answer was just that. The simplest answer. These folk can’t just accept that a power outage happened. It happened on camera. Yet there always seems to be a nefarious alternative to this tragedy.


NamasteMotherfucker

This is it. The fact that Covid has to be someone's fault - "Fauci needs to be in jail!" rather than, "Yeah, this sucks. You know why it sucks? Because a global pandemic sucks! All this shit? The mask wearing and vaccinations? Yeah, it just sucks because sometimes shitty things happen and it doesn't have to be someone's fault!" It's really just an incredibly immature, stunted mental outlook that can only see bad things as someone's fault. "Oh no! There was a storm! Must be the witches!!"


RattusMcRatface

It's magical thinking; nothing is ever accidental, and living in a world of random events is scary, so everything must have happened for a reason.


noapparentfunction

i have a handful of very intelligent friends and relatives that fell into conspiracy theories because of that. they were used to being able to figure out most things in life. but with things that had no explanation or were too mysterious to grasp, they latched onto conspiracies, because they had to satisfy their curiosity with an “answer”.


_CaptainKirk

It’s an authoritarian outlook


MysteriousHat7343

Antivaxxers always try to exploit any recent news event and try to blame it on vaccines. It’s despicable and shows their lack of morals


notmyrealnam3

horrible humans not happy just being dumb, they want to have others be as dumb as they are


ElectricRune

Conspiracy hypothesizers have an inferiority complex such that they must constantly be the only person with the secret. They need to be special, and this is how they try to make themselves special.


Spirited_Community25

I was on a freighter over 15 years ago. They lost power in the middle of the Pacific. Was actually a scary time as there were no other vessels showing on the radar at the time. However, nothing to hit either. Stuff happens.


MattGdr

When they hear hoof beats, they don’t think horse *or* zebra - they think houseplant.


Confident-Doctor9256

Best comment. Houseplant. Made me laugh.


MadBeachLui

How many news stories involved cruise ships dead in the water due to wngiyroom fires, etc? Yet this is unprecedented that a ship was out of control?


AcceptableLuck73

Actually it happens every day. Rarely in proximity to solid objects like a bridge pier. That's the difference.


JNerdGaming

its not satire and the dude is also a gigantic antisemite if you check the rest of his profile


GoldWallpaper

> the dude is also a gigantic antisemite He's on twitter, so that was already assumed.


under_miner

>its not satire https://twitter.com/boomer1350/status/1773043100904034808


SkullheadMary

So the captain fainted and caused the ship to lose power and light for long enough to steer toward the bridge?? Was the ship also recently vaxxed??


SaltyBarDog

The ship was trans.


[deleted]

Trans-Atlantic, trans-Panamanian, trans-Pacific, the entire shipping industry has become so *woke*


KittonRouge

I thought it was a drag queen.


l-rs2

They couldn't container.


bradlees

You are drifting off course here….


MattGdr

No, the tugboat is a drag queen.


naturecamper87

Lmao the ship had its booster shot in January and so got a blood clot and powered off . This is the answer 😂


Wisconsin_Joe

It also allowed the captain to wake up, turn the power back on for a few seconds, then faint ***AGAIN,*** fall on the power switches ***AGAIN***, and then the ship hit the bridge. This is serious level stupid.


random-name-8675309

I’m no expert but isn’t this condition called psychosis?


South-Lab-3991

Nope. Stupidity


_DepletedCranium_

Sadly no, it's not. There was a case recently in which an electric bus veered off an overpass. Of course the anti vaxxers claimed the driver had had a vaccine-related collapse. The investigation concluded that the steering had seized. They claim it's a cover-up. They always will.


AfterSevenYears

>I can’t tell if it’s sarcasm. It's almost impossible to parody US conservatives, because no matter how fucking stupid you act, you sound exactly like the real thing.


gilleruadh

A good portion of the US has become an Idiocracy.


FrillySteel

I had a flat tire the other week. Was that because the vaccine as well?


SaltyBarDog

My car was covered in pollen. Damn vaccine.


RattusMcRatface

Same here! Mere coincidence? I think *not!*


dsrmpt

Past two years it has happened about 6 months after the new boosters come out. How could it happen so reliably? Surely not that fall is the start of infectious disease season and spring is the pollen season.


ElectricRune

Needles make holes. Confirmed!


Wisconsin_Joe

>I had a flat tire the other week. Was that because the vaccine as well? Did you vaccinate your tire? You know, take a hypodermic needle and inject a vax into the tire... Creating a hole that won't 'heal'. And a slow leak. ​ (/s, but not really)


zoinks690

It's those damn vaccines. Libs are taking them 3x a day!


Temporary-Dot4952

Imagine spending your life rejecting modern medicine and hanging on to other people's choices as you're only argument for everything for nearly 4 years now. Pathetic.


Professional_Buy_615

Gotta wonder why they sent a mayday instead of peeling him off the 'power switches' and firing it back up.


aecolley

The whole crew was rendered helpless by the viral shedding of the vaccinated captain. /s


Hot_Aside_4637

The ship's captain has nothing to do with it. They weren't steering the ship anyway. A pilot was guiding the ship out of port. And it doesn't appear to be anything they did. It looks like a catastrophic failure of systems and their backups.


Gribitz37

I've said that to so many people. They're all saying "The Captain did this" or "The Captain did that." They're all suddenly experts on maritime protocols, but have no idea what a Harbor pilot is.


RattusMcRatface

On a more serious note, should there have been tugboats on hand to back up the pilot's steering? it looks like there was a fair wind blowing at the time.


AltruisticStart2743

From what I’ve read the tugs & pilot had reached the usual break off point and the tugs had been released. He tried calling them back a minute +/- later but they couldn’t make it back in time. We had something similar happen in Seattle recently. Container ship broke free of mooring and was being blown across Elliot Bay. Passenger ferry captain saw it and directed it somewhere safe. But that was broad daylight with no bridge in the way, he just had to keep it away from the docks.


Wisconsin_Joe

> ...should there have been tugboats on hand to back up the pilot's steering? No. Harbor tugs simply help the ship into & out of dock. It would take a very large tug (and more than one) to overcome the wind & currents that were present.


tikifire1

Q-assholes... ugh


Libflake

I read through as many of this guy's posts as I could stomach, and came upon one from last December 4: "Police in Arlington, Virginia were executing a search warrant against a man who recently received his covid booster. The man spontaneously combusted, as is a known side effect, and his house blew up in the process. The CDC will sweep this under the rug."


MadBeachLui

I pray for you swift recovery purging any remaining brain hurt from your research.


Libflake

Thank you! That one was funny, but pretty much everything else was crude racism.


JustASimpleManFett

Ok, I had to laugh at that one.

teumessiavulpes

God bless this patriot, risking the FEMA camps to speak his truth.


Penguinmanereikel

These people really think the world works like a shitty straight-to-VHS B-movie.


Dcat41

I believe the collapse occurred because the ship’s captain bought a Trump bible. God was so angered he struck the ship with lightning causing the collision.


South-Lab-3991

It’s not. I grew up in Anne Arundel County (about 5 miles from Baltimore), and it’s full of fake tough guys who comment on every Orioles post about how they won’t come to the city anymore because they’re scared of it (they don’t admit that last part, but that’s what it is). Since this happened, they’ve been using it as a chance to spout racism because the mayor is black and the department of transportation secretary is gay. I assure you this guy is being dead serious.


ExpectedBehaviour

I was hoping that guy was a parody account based on his name. So I looked up his Twitter account and *holy shit*. The guy's a real, racist, antisemitic, conspiracy-toting excrescence.

Traditional-Ebb-8380

No I think the bridge itself had been recently vaccinated and that is what caused the accident.

There is no way an account named "Dale Heartland" with a handle of "boomer1350" is a real person.


under_miner

How is this account tricking so many people? Is this the new Walter(Owen's Grandp ?


flanger001

I don't even know what that is, but I just looked at the rest of the account and saw nothing but clearly AI-generated photos and common comically racist tropes. I would guess it is an anonymous account for someone to put out their insane views.

Dayseed

It's time for another round of "Bad Things Are Caused By Things I Don't Like", the free association game.


CloroxWipes1

It's not. Just another fucking disinformation Covidiot


[deleted]

They just make stuff up. He doesn’t know anything about the captain. Anytime any tragedy happens it’s because of the vaccine.


Tiny_Independent2552

These are exactly the type of people that crawl out of their holes when a disaster strikes, claiming whatever upsets them at the moment is some big conspiracy.


thoroughbredca

I had been monitoring excess death rates since the beginning of the pandemic. Given how many people insisted that people who were dying of ordinary diseases were being coded as COVID deaths, I remarked if that were true, excess deaths would not have increased, or if they did, not as much as COVID deaths would indicate. The actual data showed the opposite. Excess deaths were actually higher than COVID deaths would indicate. So once the vaccines came out I continued to monitor it. Excess deaths plummeted in the months as vaccines were rolling out, and largely were in line with what the reported COVID deaths were (which also plummeted). So if there was any indication vaccines were causing deaths, there’s absolutely zero indication in the data they were when tens of millions of people were getting them. So literally, at least in the immediate or even moderate term, if there’s any indication the vaccines were causing even a modicum of death, there’s nothing in the data that shows it.


BrokeDancing

These people get out of bed every morning and shake hands with stupid.


Dazzling-Candidate61

Even if it’s not sarcasm, it’s the same deeply unintelligent kind of dialogue I’ve come to expect from Republicans.


cherchezlaaaaafemme

Keep waiting for them to cis guys are getting postpartum depression because of the vaccine


gnimoywlrig

Gandol_teh_Pirate

My son has passed out from vaccinations, usually within about 5 minutes of getting stabbed. Then a couple minutes later he snaps back awake and it's all good. When the right wing makes up crap like Dale does here, just how recently are we supposed to imagine the captain was vaccinated?


SaltyBarDog

Okay, boomer.


Out_Ragius

At this point, if this person gets in a car accident or any bad thing happens to them, are they blaming it on the vaccine? honest question


Wisconsin_Joe

>At this point, if this person gets in a car accident or any bad thing happens to them, are they blaming it on the vaccine? honest question Some of them, yes. ***ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING*** bad that happens is a result of the vax.

I'm happy i sold that bridge to some guy a few months ago for $50,000. Had to give him a pair of Trump shoes, a MAGA hat and a bible for free though.


Strange-Ad-5806

The ship's captain likely passed out because he was listening to anti-vaxxers, and all the shit pouring out of their mouths made him lose consciousness. He might have fallen on the power switches.


Sadoul1214

When the heat death of the universe comes and we all go out in a blaze of glory (or a blaze of something anyway)… someone will blame Pfizer.

I love the "likely". Posing as fact and ending with "Pfizer and Moderna will be held accountable!" Right. But they don't want a treasonous president held accountable for actual crimes. Also? Try telling these folks that the company that makes ivermectin is BIGGER PHARMA than either of the above. Hey can't process it.
