| "Lions not sheep" is a common antivax slogan. Are "lions" supposed to be critical thinkers or something? |

It's about feeling powerful and in control, not about critical thinking. |

| They're usually the same people who F their faces up with plastic surgery (hence the "lion" look those women get). |

| Because male lions are the biggest pieces of crap in the animal kingdom. |

Of course this is very ironic because lions are known for their herd behavior. They are not loners.
See this recent thread: Saw a car a big bumper sticker today: “Raising Lions, Not Sheep” |

| What an odd question to be pondering. Get outside and get some VitaminD. The propaganda machine is gearing up for a busy fall with Covid. |

They are the only ones "awake" and see whats happening, while the rest of us are "sheep", following what the government is telling us to do.
Their "awake" ness is just conspiracy theories and tin foil hat youtube vids though lol. |

| The first thing a conspiracy must do is convince people not to listen to anyone who is not a fellow conspiracist. By telling followers (no matter how ironically) that they are "lions" and that non-believers are "sheep," they are seeking to accomplish this purpose. |

Well they hate that word, but do talk about being "awake". Which, apparently is different than "woke" lol. |
