Depending upon when you mark the beginning, the world is anywhere between six and eight months into the Covid panic. While some parts of the world have slowly climbed back down from the ledge, other parts of the world seem committed to another round of lock downs and public hysteria. In fact, the great and the good are telling us that the public rituals may be a permanent condition. The question, though, is why has the world gone crazy over this particular pandemic?
Strangely forgotten in all of this is the fact that every generation or so has a nasty virus get loose that results in a very bad flu season. The last one was Swine flu, which was about a decade ago. There was a worldwide outbreak of H1N1 called the Soviet flu in the 1970’s and before that the Hong Kong flu. There are localized outbreaks of even scarier things like MERS and SARS. In other words, Covid is neither unusual or particular harmful compared to the regularly occurring pandemics.
In fairness, the initial concern over the virus was justified. It could have been another Spanish flu or it could have been an engineered super-bug. Given the origin and the behavior of China, it was a safe bet that this virus came from a lab. That means it could have been much worse for many obvious reasons. While it most certainly originated in a Chinese lab, we know it is not a super-bug that will plunge the world into darkness or become an extinction event.
One reason for the panic is the ongoing crisis in the West. Most of the world has not only come off the ledge, but is back to normal. China, where this thing started, is completely back to their version of normal. It is Europe and the Anglosphere that continue to struggle with the panic. Europe seems to be determined to go back into some form of lock down, despite the evidence. The great and good in America are praying to their gods for a second wave of infections.
The Covid pandemic has been the best thing to happen to minor politicians and celebrities at all levels since the invention of Twitter. In America, few people have any reason to know the names of their local politicians, but now everyone knows the name of the people behind the lock downs. The same is true of the silly drama queens who fill in the blanks of public entertainment. Every day one of them pops off about the virus in a way that gets them unwarranted public attention.
In the West, public trust and trust in authority have declined to the point where all politics, all social behavior, is built around the gesture. The new social capital is public displays of caring. Everyone feels the need to tell the world how much they care, so anything that can enable that spreads like a virus. The real pandemic this year has been the plague of people and companies telling us how much they care and that we’re all in this together. After all, it is about being safe.
This plague of caring is not all that different from the last plague of caring that is still with us to some degree. The global warming panic operated along the same lines as this Covid panic. Instead of the great and good decorating themselves with masks and face shields, they toted piles of grimy canvas sacks to the supermarket. They imposed silly regulations on everyday items like gas cans and drinking straws. Caring about Gaia is the Eleusinian Mysteries of the managerial class.
There is also a punitive aspect to this. That sense of communal salvation is still very strong among the great and good. One manifestation of this is that all of us must suffer for the sins of the few. Only through suffering can we find salvation. In order to please Gaia, we have to put up with drinking straws made of paper and obnoxious lectures from demented plutocrats. The people behind the climate change stuff admit that there is nothing to be done, but they apply the lash anyway.
In this regard, Covid has been manna from heaven. Just as everyone with an IQ above room temperature has realized climate change is a scam, here comes a scourge of the gods sent to punish the wicked for voting for Donald Trump and Brexit. The vengeful, malicious technocrats that run the West suddenly have a reason to torment the people over whom the rule. Note that they casually exempt themselves from the ridiculous rules they impose on the rest of society.
Then there is the fact that Covid actually exists. Unlike climate change, the great and the good can point to real people who are genuinely sick. They have pumped up the death counts and are now scouring the land for people who can test positive for the virus, but Covid is a real thing. Climate change does not exist in any way that impacts the lives of people. Covid is a bogeyman that does not require mountains of graphs and charts based on cooked data. Everyone can understand it.
This is why the Covid restrictions may be with us for a long time. With these new tools of torment, the Torquemadas of the managerial class get to take out their anger on the rest of us whenever they like. The busybodies and overly officious flunkies of the system get to nose around in your business and push you around. The Church of Covid has made the worst elements of human society into high priests. These loathsome freeloaders will never voluntarily let go of their new power.

Bad government is one thing – a people that goes along with it is another. Let’s be honest the majority of white people support insane restrictions. Non-whites just ignore the government and do whatever they want, as usual. Why are millions of whites, particularly women, begging to be shut down? The pro lockdown people are really nasty too, now calling for jail time for people who aren’t social distancing. Projecting their misery onto others maybe? Only badwhites still meet in large groups (church, car rallies, gun clubs, etc.) anyways. It’s clear to me that a significant portion of whites are… Read more »
“…a significant portion of whites are insane…”
That has been my own observation in my small community. I had no idea there were so many people who were either terrified, silly, or filled with ideological vitriol. I have publicly mocked people I knew to be very conservative Trump supporters because they went about shopping wearing a mask when it is not required. These are people who used to complain about the fake news, but now they suddenly believe the crap they are seeing and hearing on TV.
Perhaps it’s just becoming apparent how stupid the population is. It takes a bit of smarts to separate the disinformation from the facts—and of course, courage to act upon such.
We often call this “critical thinking”, but I’m thinking it’s inseparable from IQ—and don’t confuse IQ with “credentialism”. Lot of dumb people with degrees these days. Such is the state of higher education.
Critical thinking and how to write (or beware of!) cleverly (not to say clearly). Consider this Atlantic article (You don’t have to read the whole thing, but it’s short.) Here’s the money quote: It’s worth noting that there isn’t much difference between Barkley’s claim that “there are a lot black people who are unintelligent” and the claims of a garden-variety racist. See what the author (Tarnishes-easily Coates) did? He casts doubt on Barkley’s claim, implying his words are untrue, because surely any morally upright Atlantic reader knows a racist must be a liar. Nowhere in the article is any refutation… Read more »
White people have three interlocking pathologies that have been and will continue to be their downfall. Those are:
Pathological altruism.
Pathological honest.
Pathological deference to authority.
Whites that know the media lies about any number of topics will reflexively trust them on some other topic. They literally can’t help themselves from doing so.
Perfect example of the Gell-Mann effect:
”Named after famous physicist Murray Gell–Mann, the Amnesia Effect was coined by Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton to describe the act of feeling skeptical as you read a magazine or newspaper article about an area in which you have expertise and then completely forgetting that skepticism as you turn the page and…”
I think it is pathological empathy, not deference to authority. There was a huge and fast juggling of phrasing for the directives, as “do what I say” was failing hard. They switched to “keep others safe,” which seems to have stuck and worked.
Covid-19 is a real pathology with real negative consequences, so it’s not intrinsically unreasonable to take precautions. The problem most people have is not they are gullible, per se, but that they like training and cognitive skills to properly evaluate the risk this disease entails. As such, it’s quite understandable that someone would just wear a mask instead of spending hours doing complex research and risk analysis. People are cognitive misers, and frankly, wearing a mask so you can spend more time thinking about more enjoyable things is a pretty good use of time.
Drew, you miss the essence of the problem. The mask wearing was initially voluntary, then made mandatory. Once that happens, we are beyond taking “reasonable” precautions for one’s own health—we are requiring, under penalty, that others sacrifice themselves for our (supposed) good. This concept, now accepted by the sheeple opens the door for all sorts of pernicious undertakings by our rulers. We are seeing such outside of simple mask-up requirements. Bars are closed, but restaurants with bars and table service are free to serve alcohol. Restaurants have mandatory closing hours and limited seating to 25-50% capacity—regardless of “social distancing” ability.… Read more »
You don’t have to have a Ph.D. in Dravidian philology to understand Covid is an overblown crock of bullcaca, and that, unless you’re an octogenarian with a couple of comorbidities, this virus is not much of a threat. Likewise, one needn’t do extensive research to conclude that masks are a totally ineffective defense against what little threat Covid does present.
Sadly, I’ve always known my neighbors were “terrified, silly, or filled with ideological vitriol”. I used to be able to ignore them though. Their crazy stayed bottled up in their little chipmunk brains. Now it’s all over the place everyday.
Yes, it’s seems that they have gone insane, but I think it’s deeper and more sinister than that. Consider: civilization, true culture, is a burden that can only be built and maintained by a masculine and intelligent people who have a unifying belief. Because of luxury and peace, we have become an effeminate and soft people, and in doing so have replaced patriarchy with its opposite. Was it Heidegger that said matriarchy is the death drive manifested? Indo-European man is not only going crazy, he seems largely suicidal. Now,the reasons of how we got here are multifarious. But it seems… Read more »
The actor Jason Isaacs recently publicly called for the death of anti-maskers.
I do enjoy finding out about new celebrities to boycott, not that I was ever a big media consumer. In this case I didn’t even know who Isaacs was until he opened his head-hole about this. Turns out the Rock has TDS too. So sad. Have Malkovitch and James Woods cucked?
No, James Woods is still based. He’s hilarious on Twitter.
Perhaps there’s a predisposition towards fanaticism or religious madness. Perhaps this explains much unexplicable history. Such ideas as personality traits like ‘inheritable altruism’ doesn’t doesn’t hold much water with the Zman, true. I think it may not be a vague trait that is inheritable, but the wiring: our spectrum of perception and response to social cues, rather, making it hard to pin down as a specific set of chromosomes. For instance, we still haven’t found a “gay gene”; we’re forbidden now from looking at queerness as a birth defect in the delicate wiring, a difference in what one sees and… Read more »
A large portion of the current problem is that most of the West had turned its back on God.
Most humans have deep, inherent spiritual needs, despite what the Progtards claim.
Nature abhors a vacuum, and Corona-chan has filled it beautifully, with some help from Sts. Floyd and Faux-ci
The Karens at any evangelical church are the exact same as the urban ones putting up “hate has no home here” signs on their lawns.
Location, culture, and most importantly, the availability of alpha/non cucked beta men. The main difference is that Christian men are not as cucked as the leftist WASP Karens’.
Humans will never progress past the need for religion and spirituality.
“most importantly, the availability of alpha/non cucked beta men.”
You’re onto something there, I can’t quite put my finger on it.
For what it’s worth, common-sense secularists like Krull, Compsci, and me will hang with you guys. That bunch over there would sell their own mother.
And, totally o/t, I apologize for over-commenting again. I CAN NOT sleep.
I was only able to resist the Z for two days this time. (By law, I have to sit in one spot for a 10-hour stretch. Yes, satellite tracking, also by federal law.)
That’s fine. For the people with the right mindset and upbringing, religion might not be important.
However, 1. The vast majority are dumb and the Bible is a great way to fill that void and 2. The practical benefits of religion, like community, a shared bond with strangers and neighbors, hierarchy, and limits on degeneracy, is very necessary regardless on whether there is an all knowing Sky Man or not.
Just so. I’m one of that large minority who’s mental framework can’t imagine some God or Source, or even imagine the need for such a thing.
Yet, the majority of our kind do, so it must be natural. My kind of thinking, to them, seems utterly illogical, and will never make sense.
Perhaps there’s a third type, awaiting only the loss of the formal majority structure?
While we atheists were quite visible, perhaps the neither-nor were not?
My type of atheist has no interest in tearing up the rules or attacking others, but maybe that’s why we are usually conflated?
Ah. Sorry for thinking out loud.
A spectrum of amorality:
From ‘don’t bug me’ to ‘at war’.
I’d say ‘anti-morality’ but they have their own severe moral strictures.
Bad government is one thing – a people that goes along with it is another.
You are exactly right. and our faithless, fearful countrymen accepted orders right away and show no sign of letting up I am ASHAMED to be an american
The High Priests of COVID could not carry this out without the active support of the Karens and Cucks in the pews.
i mostly blame doctors, an old distant relative of mine had lung problems for years, doctors claimed covid was responsible for his death.
They claim any minor or major respiratory virus is covid, covid does not exist. Hospitals get funds if doctors claim their hospitals are filled with covid patients.
Many doctors are now hospital employees, same as nurses or RTs. They do what they’e told by their bosses.
If you want to send a provider into a foaming fit, say these two words:
Corporate Medicine
I’d always been partial to the term Government/Medical Industrial Complex.
2500 years of Hippocratic medicine undone by socialism.
That’s not entirely fair. Most people don’t care about politics, and I can’t blame them. So if all they see is Spanish Flu on TV, who are they going to believe? All the experts, or Crazy Uncle Felix?
You have conflated misinformation with the need to believe.
Common sense, if you have it, should autocorrect for the MSM’s Coronageddon misinformation.
No, thats the point of the inverted quarantine. If you have most people greatly limiting their socialization, shopping, going to work: who is to say there aren’t 100s of thousands of dead in the streets? How would you know, everyone is supposed to “stay safe, stay home!”
Care about politics? I think it causes most people serious psychic pain to think and analyze the world around them – even a little bit -political or not. Most of the world are walking-talking rutabagas. Outside not crapping their pant, chewing their food, only using a 5K word vocabulary, doing what needs to be done to have sexual relations with another rutabaga and using whatever brain cells are left to do that thing called a job — people don’t want to think more than is necessary.
Bam. The most enlightening aspect of this insanity is how many people are, in fact, insane. The Karens literally should be made into Hand Maidens but given their looks it will take ultra horny Incels to do the nasty, which probably is another element of their madness.
Thats what turkey basters are for. Nah, they probably shouldn’t be reproducing anyway. If nature cannot remove our mutants anymore, we should let them self-deselect.
“The High Priests of COVID could not carry this out without the active support of the Karens and Cucks in the pews.” I hate to sound rude, but … why are you complaining? Seriously. Aren’t you the guy who compared us to the Kulaks and said we should basically give up and do nothing — just let the left have their way? They carried this out because guys like you made excuses for doing nothing; thus, the Karens and Cucks predominate. Painful truth, but it is true none-the-less. There were options, but you didn’t like those options. So suck it… Read more »
I’ve said this from the beginning. They can’t shut us all down. they cant make all of us wear a mask. I know, most people reading this blog wear their mask.
The mask is the face (snuffle!) of covid. Stop wearing masks, and we will stop this nonsense!
I doubt many of the posters here wear the Karen Kloth. I certainly don’t.
If I’m asked to put a mask on when entering a store, I calmly ask what their ADA options are for people with heart conditions. I can’t wear a mask, so the ADA says they have to have reasonable options to allow me to shop at their establishment. If they hem and haw I then ask for a managers name to be listed as a codefendant on any future litigation. The key is to be calm and respectful. The smoke usually comes out of their ears or their hair is on fire. use their system against them. I carry a… Read more »
I was at a small-ish zoo and safari place in PA recently and posted on the entrance to the gift shop/admission building was a sign that said, “Our governor has mandated the use of masks indoors. If you do not wear one, we will assume you have a medical reason and you will not be asked any questions.” Perfect. I’ve not seen anyplace here in upstate NY with the gumption to similarly defy Marshal Cuomo’s dictates.
Our local Strongmen dictate that masks must be worn unless you have a medical condition that is exacerbated by wearing a mask. I simply make that claim. If asked, which I have not been, what condition that is, I would say that it raises my blood pressure to be told to wear a mask.
The most horrifying aspect of this plandemic is the sheep like compliance with the masking orders. Every day I see a young family out walking on my street. Mom, Dad, two children, and one in a stroller are out in the hot sun, or alone on the street at night, all muzzled up like farm animals. Yesterday I saw Dad, and one of the grade-school kids jogging in ninety degree weather,and slurping up their oxygen through the sweat and mucous in the filters. I can understand a high level of fear in the elderly. But most of the maskatroons are… Read more »
Looks like they still have caught the masked arsonists who torched that Senegalese family in Colorado. It won’t take too many incidents like that before masks are re-outlawed. Some lessons are only re-learned the hard way I suppose.
And can you prove they weren’t white supremacists?
Sandmich, you may not realize it, but you’ve just guaranteed that masks will be here forever.
Actually given the multiple conspirators, the brutality of the attack, and the difficulty in tracking them down I figured it was some hit put out by their own people.
“But most of the maskatroons are young. I hate to play the Boomer card here, but we would not have rolled over for this when I was younger. These kids do not question. They do not rip the face diaper off as soon as Mom isn’t looking. Indeed, they wear it with pride.” Last time I posted some gamma wall-of-texted me and “okay Boomhauer” was its reply, likely, but admirably typed with one hand as the other one was rooting around his nose for his favorite tasty, self-administered treat. But you drew me out with this. When I was a… Read more »
A couple of things. Young people are the east experienced with physical threat. By the time you reach you 50’s, you have a enough close calls or know enough people who have had close calls that you become a bit fatalistic. Young people naturally feel bulletproof to known dangers, but the unknowns spook them. They make horror movies for 20-something for a reason. That said, each generation has been softer and weaker than the prior. My generation was certainly softer than my dad’s or granddad’s. I suppose we reach a point when boys wear dresses and act like girls. Wait.… Read more »
Modern teenagers are hilariously, sadly conformist. God help them, modern white teenagers remind me of Minnesotans, a special brand of whites that I’ve studied over the years. They are fairly conservative in their own lives, but it’s less about valuing the past or Chesterton’s Fence and more about fear. They also will follow whatever is told to them. And, oh, how they worry about what other people think of them. A whole generation of Minnesotans. Actually, God help us. Modern white teenagers have a bizarre lack of rebelliousness. Yes, they have usual cockiness and sanctimoniousness of all young people, but… Read more »
It’s a mixed bag. What’s important is the growing percentage of angry young white guys. The regular cucks are really no different than Boomers/Gen X. In particular guys who get isolated. Somehow, people slip through the cracks at times. When you do, and you start to look around for friends, is when you actually notice that you’re surrounded by people who have no interest in being your friend, and who hate you. It’s basically: normie life –> period of isolation –> period of introspection and noticing –> either depression/withdrawal, or anger + devotion. Most umc white kids with decent social… Read more »
Heck, I’m late Gen X and I totally identify with those young white men.
I didn’t leave America, America left me.
Son, I don’t mean to be condescending, but coming from the generation prior to yours – believe me, you never had America. In a lot of ways, I feel the most sympathy for X’ers simply for the reason you guys damn near had to pay the ultimate toll numerous times. People laugh now, despite being ever closer to it, but the threat a nuke war was a scary thing up until the ‘80s, man.
I think I understand the point you’re making.
The ’80s were when things really began to change, as much fun as that decade was. I have seen the video of Bronx joggers disrespecting candidate Reagan on YouTube.
I knew GenX was in for a rough time when the mass media began running stories how collectively useless we are.
IQ 70 Joggers are also spooked by the unknown.
This is why we see all the Beer flu virtue signaling from the muscle Mary pro athletes.
The sportsball jocks who’ve quivered in their panties over this are surely the most pathetic. Healthy young men who are almost guaranteed to have nothing worse than the mildest of symptoms. And I can’t imagine a demographic that has better health care at its disposal — at no cost. The state of these people!
The Aztecs and Punjabis too. Latinos might as well glue those masks on.
My five year in all his childhood innocence is unafraid to declare “Chinese virus is over.” I get a kick out of the reaction of the Covid Sheep.
Your kid rocks, Doug.
We were hiking on a wooded trail this weekend and came across a youngish couple with 2 quite young kids, the type you carry in one of those faggoty backpacks. Twice we passed them and twice they retreated off the trail and lurked behind a tree until we had reached the appropriate distance. I really wanted to just drill the husband right in the face for allowing his family to engage in such uninformed, cowardly, feminine behavior.
I had a similar experience a few months ago, hiking in the hills near my house. I went up there early in the morning with a special mission in mind, one that involved a handful of mushrooms, and a final goodbye to a lately departed friend. All the neighborhoods bordering the wildlife preserve have been totally colonized by Asians, and they are the absolute worst about masking. Much to my dismay, the trails were crowded with the Faceless Ones, muzzled up, yammering loudly, and paying more attention to their cell phones than the beautiful spring morning. Families cowered at the… Read more »
Next step: methane catchers
I live in NJ unfortunately. If it was a country, we’d have the highest covid death rate in the world, yet the left continues to kiss the heroic ass of Gov. Murphy. He’s encourage to retain his dictator powers and continue destroying small business.
Meanwhile Sweden has a million more people than NJ and less than half the deaths despite never shutting down or engaging in most of this nonsense.
It’s pretty clear that the Covid death count is more a function of sensitivity (the US tests has ones set to a ludicrous level), mass testing, and good old fashioned obesity.
And the Swedes didn’t force nursing homes to take patients actively sick with the virus/
I think Sweden actually did push patients into nursing homes and that is where a good chunk of their death count comes from.
Yes, they did, to their open regret.
Old folks and “immigrant centers” hit hardest.
They did have 1000% rise in deaths in one month, too.
From 43 to… to… 435!!!
The Swedes absolutely slaughtered their geezers. You might not think that’s how the world’s welfare state number one would operate, but that’s what it did. The staff were instructed to put an inmate on palliative care upon a C-19 diagnosis, which is to say cease all medical treatment and give them morphine. The government specifically prohibited giving them oxygen.
They need the retirement homes for the Mohammadans, see? This was an issue long before Corona Chan, Swedish authorities evicting pensioners to make room for invaders.
On the Swedish gerontocide:

Actually, that’s exactly how I would expect a welfare state to act. Kill off the users in favor of the contributors or the ethnic pets.
And goodbye, storehouse of wisdom and memory.
Bingo! What I sense is that most all these States with “free” health care wind up eventually unable to afford it, so they inevitably ration care in some form.
Common rationing techniques I see are long waits for certain services and denial for services depending on “payback”. The old never really win out in these cases.
Not that these techniques for cost reduction are any worse than simple denial based on ability to pay—but it’s not any more moral either.
Morality is a factor, but it all boils down to economics, supply and demand. Someone defined economics as “who gets what.” Also politics is “who decides who gets what.”
I’ll say it again, for all her faults, Sarah Palin probably scored the most direct hit on leftist this century with her simple “death panels” phrase. It was easy to digest for people on both sides of the aisle and it truly sent the left into paroxysms of rage. And deep down everyone knew that it was inarguable.
The holocaust started with killing geezers, kids with birth defects, and invalids. Treating the body politic instead of individual bodies. Have to conserve resources for the war machine dontcha know.
Cuomo saved MILLIONS of dollars on boxcars and pillows, with the same results.
I’ve basically stopped looking at test results and just look at deaths. Those have tailed off nearly everywhere which is why the fake news focuses on tests. There’s also the fact that if the false positive rate is high (as it is for Covid) and they are reporting raw test results, it’s likely that virtually ALL the positives are fake. How often they do this, I don’t know. The problem is that there are many ways to lie about all this and you can “stack” your lie techniques – i.e. That guy with 14 bullet wounds just died and he… Read more »
I saw the false positive rate at 2%. At 1 million daily tests in the US and 40 thousand new “cases” every day, about half of them would be false.
I imagine New Jersey’s death toll is similar to Bangladesh’s given that New Jersey is the Bangladesh of the US. I know because I lived there two years.
I wonder if Bangladesh smells funny, too?
hes the guy who said that he consutlted with “additction” experts who told him that the liquor stores must be kept open for some reason.
All the fat fucks, inbred Haredi and welfare mongoloids are dropping like flies in Jew Jersey.
We just hit that scary 1 million death globally number. And if you go with six months that averages five to six thousand a day and of course all that was in the beginning when a lot of people actually died though it is questionable from what seeing that our ruling class lies with impunity now. 5 to 6000 a day is chump change. 3rd Century Rome had a plague that killed 5000 a day in the city. That’s a plague.. This is a scam or Madness maybe both but it’s not a pandemic. But it definitely has been a… Read more »
Ironically, the goodwhites are far more miserable from the lockdowns than badwhites. The goodwhites who are strictly following the lockdowns appear to be entering episodes of hysteria, paranoia, and depression. “To end COVID!” They were already atomized and on SSRIs to begin with. The badwhites are annoyed because churches and other places we like to go are closed. But nobody cares, we are still visiting each other, visiting family, taking reasonable precautions like sitting outside if we’re visiting elderly people. It’s a slightly worse reality for us. Longterm may be worse, yes, due to small business shutdowns. Goodwhites are cutting… Read more »
The Goodwhites don’t care if they suffer. What matters to them is that the Badwhites suffer.

Well, for most of them it’s a personal aesthetic improvement.
I do NOT see this. here in Michigan they worship their masks. the libs seem to love this .
Ah, the magically significant 1 Million dead globally! I would love to hear the journos explain why going from 999,999 to 1 Mil is a significant milestone. Anyone….Anyone….Innumeracy and madness go hand in hand.
They better not say 6 Million. That number is already taken.
Rachel Maddow recently presented a “calculation” that indicated a strategy to attain herd immunity would result in 6 million deaths. A bunch of Karens on Nextdoor were clutching their pearls over this until I pointed out she was trivializing the Holocau$t.
Haha!
Haha! The grim milestone of 649,837 has just been reached..
A million is one-third of what we initially were told the United States death total alone would be.
Yes. And I suspect the actual death toll from Covid itself, as opposed to a comorbidity, is much less than 1 mill.
Likely much less than half that number.
I am amazed that that there is no comparison of the Covid death propaganda numbers with the actual 2019 US death rate: 2019 death rate – 8.782 deaths per 1000 US population (2019) – 327,200,000 So, if we divide the US population by one thousand (327,200,000 / 1000 = 327,200) and then times that by the death rate (8.782 x 327,200) we had 2,873,470 deaths per year in US (2019). Divide that by 52 weeks and we had (2,873,470 / 52) 55,259 deaths per WEEK in the US. Yes, peopled died in large numbers every week BEFORE Covid. So if… Read more »

The “Hail to You”, “William Briggs, Statistician to the Stars”, Kevin Roche, Howie Carr, Tony Heller, and 3 of the 4 main authors over at Powerline have travelled over this ground extensively.
Their arguments have had no effect. The political class is doubling down, “VACCINES!” “CASES”, SECOND (third, fourth, fifth…) WAVE…
Is someone questioning my talents as an armchair epidemiologist again? 😀
In the first place, that 1 million number, like all COVID numbers, is highly suspect. But let’s pretend it’s accurate. 1 million deaths over about 9 months (say pandemic began in Jan.) annualizes to about 1.25 Million. You can choose a slightly higher figure and it won’t change the calculations much.
There are about 56 million deaths yearly, worldwide. That means that 1.25/56 = about 2.2% of deaths MAY have been due to COVID. I just can’t get very excited about that, especially knowing the vast majority of those were frail people who would have been “checking out” soon anyway.
“These loathsome freeloaders will never voluntarily let go of their new power.” No, they will not. And if Trump loses, these masks are going to be with us indefinitely. I heard an ex-ceo of a big airline on TV recently blathering about how he expects the airlines to be requiring masks for several more years. Personally, I will never voluntarily put on a mask to fly again. If you want to feel the lash, try sitting in a plane for four hours with Stewardess Ratched continually demanding you pull your mask over your nose. And don’t think first class will… Read more »
The homo soy attendant and the old butch with the smokers voice attendant will be ensuring that you comply.
Turkish Airlines attendants are much better. Apparently the Muslims can still appreciate beauty.
Argentine airlines still have young, beautiful stewardesses. And soft, stress-free space music when you board.
The major Asian carriers have slowly abandoned the “young and beautiful” requirements in the past couple decades to the detriment of their service. I flew Cathay Pacific from Newark to Hong Kong a couple years ago, a 15+ hour flight, and had to suffer through not just typically Asian behavior but bitter Karens trying to contain it all. The low point came when a late-middle aged stewardess announced in a very loud voice to her co-workers that “someone just shit all over the bathroom!” Classy. Sometimes I get to fly tiny regional carriers in that part of the world and… Read more »
The masks will stay for most of us just like the exploding underwear and smoldering shoes of Allah have left us with an army of dimwit vibrants accruing retirement at 5x the rest of us to scream in our faces about toothpaste tubes, shoes, and laptops as we queue up to get irradiated by a $3T pork barrel as we hands up dont shoot. The good news for you is that as the new normal grows stale on the collective, the free market will step in to provide relief for a price to those who have managed to exact a… Read more »
The fruit stewards are just another GlobHom recruiting vector, most certainly a feature rather than a bug.
Remember when AIDS was blamed on one gay steward who’d had HIV sex with 11,000 happy folks?
Suddenly we were all conscripts in the Caring Army.
We can save them!
FWIW, bring a bag of chips. Pretend to eat one every time a FA walks by. Masks aren’t required when eating/drinking.
If some sky hag calls you out on it, mask up, or don’t. Worse case scenario is you get “banned” from the airline. But tickets are cheap, and there’s a very good chance some, or most, legacy carriers are going to disappear anyway.
I think air travel as we previously knew it is done for us Dirt People.
I wouldn’t mind it if Coronadoom lasts long enough to kill off the legacy carriers, so long as we then get a complete reopening followed by the birthing of new, consumer-friendly airlines.
a lot of things are going away for us dirt people, air travel , retirement , and according to ice age farmers youtube channel, real meat .
If the filth of airline travel didn’t make you sick before, covid is nothing to worry about.
Cheeze-its! Not for eating, but for grinding into the carpet of the plane with your foot, for some reason.
“Masks aren’t required when eating/drinking.”
They’re on to that and watch you like a hawk. This worked in July. It no longer works now.
God, you guys are getting sophisticated. I genuinely worry that I won’t be able to operate when I get out among you guys again. Man, I wish I could just retire. Any female out there want to Homestead. I could probably bring 200k to the table, lol.
Here in Ontariostan, the one thing we hoped the conservative might defend us from was tyranny… and they did (to a degree) when it was the left attempting to do so. There will be no stopping the left the next time they are given power, “it’s okay when we do it”.
That is not to say that they would not have been so emboldened the next time they were elected, given the new global paradigm.
They’re just waiting for Trump to fall, after that it’s game on. All the other pieces are in place. Germany will invade Poland and Russia again.
Doug Ford is a cuck and will be out next election.
I stopped flying years ago after I was required to take my shoes off before going through the metal detector and after being frisked by a 250 pound negress. Standing in line for these privileges for 45 minutes didn’t dissuade me, either. 30 hour road trips are the norm for my family and me now.
Same. Didn’t endure the frisking by a negress, but I stopped flying due to the ridiculous faux-security measures. Add in routine chimpouts and all the flaming stewards and bitchy old stewardesses, and now face diapers, and it’s just not worth the presumed time saved to me. I will drive or I won’t go. Today’s airlines are like the Trailways bus lines in the late’60s -’70s. I hope they all go broke.
Dandy, you could be my doppelgänger. I made one exception on flights in 2002 for an elderly family member (96). Her wish was to see all her (extensive) family one more time.
There are priorities in life (family) that are hard to avoid—but the flight was distasteful. I watched my mother-in-law humiliated by being removed from her wheel chair and having—in public—her artificial leg removed and taken away while her chair was broken down and examined. Some things are never forgotten.
2 things.
1. The governor of VA has asymptomatic Covid, so after his return I can only imagine his harrowing experience will further fuel the bonfire of rights in the Cavalier state.
2. You are absolutely right about those new gas cans. I had to buy a new one recently for a uniquely fuel oil mixed tool, and getting it to work was maddening. On top of that, it spills more fuel than the pre-EPA mandated cans.
Get a conversion kit from amazon. Drill an air hole, apply the air-hole plug, attach a nozzle not designed by sadists.
There are also those low-flow shower heads. Whenever I got one I would rip out the little restrictor gasket so it would work normally. I’ve also heard there’s a thriving trade in old toilets that actually flush properly. Perhaps this is the Green New Deal that Joe of the Dead and President Camacho were talking about last night. The idea is that we’ll all have jobs restoring everyday things to proper functioning after the government regulations make them useless. By the way, I don’t usually watch these things but I thought Pres. Camacho was brilliant last night. Can I get… Read more »
The low flush toilet was a legacy of Bush the Elder. Remember he was the environmental president? Or was it the education president? Anyways, every time I flush the toilet, I think of ole George.
Get a jerry can. You can buy a separate spout for multiple cans. Good stuff
“asymptomatic Covid”
I thought you said Couvade-
where a husband mimics his wife’s symptoms of pregnancy.
King Cuomo or his brother had that, sympathetic covid, remember?
What we old-timers call a two-cycle engine?
I love 2-cycles. The amount of smoke they belch out is guaranteed to give lefties the vapours.
Burning tires for an hour on Earth Day
Two stroke engine. A two cycle engine has four distinct stroke functions, and is what most people think of when they see a gasoline engine.
Two-stroke == two cycle.
The typical gasoline engine people think of (car engines, your typical lawn mower engine) is a 4-stroke or 4-cycle engine.
Almost all chainsaws and weedeaters are 2 stroke/cycle. Back in the day a lot of dirt bikes, mopeds and even some street bikes were 2 cycle. I used to own a ’72 Suzuki 500cc street bike that had a separate resevoir for 2 cycle oil (eliminating the need for you to mix 2 cycle oil with the gas whenever you filled it up).
Sorry Tom, but Vizzini is right here. Those terms are synonyms.
Dammit: replied to the wrong post.
miss those old 2 stroke bikes
I’d love to own a 2-stroke Yamaha but they’re getting rare and pricey. RD400 in my dreams. Maybe I’ll get lucky and find a project bike cheap someday…
My pre-mixed gas weedeater, then, at 2 am
Yes I’ve done that, sorry
Solo and spontaneous, not very silent
Otto cycle = 4 stroke. E.g. intake, compression, power, exhaust.
Yup, that would be the one. Heh
Yeah but instead of 50/1 or 25/1, which I have, it is 40/1. I should have chosen my wording more carefully.
That’s interesting. I’ve gotten spoiled by being able to have just one mixture for all my chainsaws/weedeaters. But they’re all the same brand.
Agree on the gas cans. The last time I used one was in the 1970s for the lawn mower. Recently, I bought one just as part of my emergency preps. I used it to put gas in my son’s car and I couldn’t believe how complicated they made it. I thought it was me.
Nevermind the covid stuff, Zman do you denounce white supremacy?
Post debate, that’s what it’s all about today. So many obviously White people are all over Media and call-in talk shows this morning screeching about Trump’s “refusal to denounce White Supremacy!” Whites are their own worst enemy.
White supremacy – what a freaking joke. As if Whites want lord it all over everyone else. Christ, I wish we’d just stand up for ourselves.
The fact that they’re pointing to the Proud Boys as a white supremacy group confirms that Zman is correct about not giving the media an easy target to depict as the face of evil. The Proud Boys are explicitly NOT pro-white, yet our enemies need to find someone to fill the role as a bad group, so that’s the best they can come up with.
You’re not going to win this fight by hiding under tables. Hunter Wallace had an excellent retort to Z’s assertion this is about optics. It’s not. It’s about power. If you have the power, you have the optics. You want to get the power to have good optics? Then stand up for yourselves and make this regime your enemy. Delegitimize it. Overthrow it. Secede. Once we have separate countries, we can do as we please. Let me ask you guys a couple of questions: did the Eastern Europeans resist communism by … not resisting it or did they eventually succeed… Read more »
HW disappointed me by going full tilt fir the coronavirus, but he’s correct that power controls the optics.
Hate to disappoint you, but the regime in Eastern Europe wasn’t overthrown by the people fighting oppression.
The regime ended because the young future Communist leaders, privileged children of the old leaders, who all studied Political science in Moscow wanted to be rich and cool like their western counterparts. So they pulled the plug at the first opportunity. Now, thanks to their old communist contacts – mostly KGB, Stasi, AVO, StB etc., they are all millionaires or billionaires.
I’m with do something group. But I dont’ have a family.
I don’t quite agree. The patriot-right can’t help but get out there and be a strong but naive presence. And bless them for that; we need their moxie. The Proud Boys could be the last alt-right/alt-lite org from 2016 that hasn’t been destroyed by the establishment. And they’ve actually been growing in number. The left hates them because they are anti-PC and insubordinate, pro-Trump, and haven’t folded. Also unlike the dissident right, they don’t give an F about what the left or media thinks about them. They’ll go out there anyway. If you want a revolution, this is how you… Read more »

“As if Whites want lord it all over everyone else. Christ, I wish we’d just stand up for ourselves.”
I was looking for this comment. That sniveling coward Rod Dreher is in a hissy fit over “Trump’s refusal to denounce white supremacy.” Apparently, Trump is helping the left by not being sufficiently differential towards them. Please. He refused to let them make him look guilty by association and his supporters racist through that false association.. Meanwhile, Biden lied about antifa — claimed it didn’t exist. Uh, Joe. They have a flag and a name and they coordinate over social media. In what way does the Proud Boys exist that can’t also be associated with Antifa? “White supremacists” didn’t destroy… Read more »
Preach! Brother Undertow, bring it HOME, baby!
unbelievable.
Lol. After the fact (I didn’t watch the debate, sorry) I thought that Trump could have found a way to defang that accusation, perhaps something along the line of “not sure what you jackasses mean about ‘white supremacy’, I’m white and think white people are pretty cool, but that doesn’t make me, or anyone else who likes their own people, any kind of ‘supremacist'”, etc.
“Chris, why do you hate?”
Things are getting really confusing… if we have to refer to ourselves as “certain people” from now on, it’ll become even more important to use the ((( ))) to distinguish ourselves from certain other people.
Good things blacks don’t have to speak in code but can baldly proclaim their supremacy while certain people have no choice but to grovel.
Ha ha! Coming to a job application near you!
White supremacy is an idea, not an organization. That’s the retort I’m using on lefties that are freaking out. Anyway, it’s interesting how some ideas scare the Judeo-Puritan elite a lot more than others. The idea of white supremacy (really just white self determination) terrifies them, but the “idea” of Antifa is just fine. I’m glad the mainstream right is attacking Antifa, but they’re low-hanging fruit and an easy target for the right because they’re mostly white/white-presenting. I’d like the idea of BLM to be attacked and discredited instead. It was possible for the right to dismiss BLM in 2016,… Read more »
BLM is without doubt the premiere anti-white terrorist organization in America. I’d love to hear Trump acknowledge that fact.

you already have eternal life. your relationship with christ will determine where most of it will be spent. choose wisely

Nope, I won’t ever be a Bible Christian, not in a million years- but that still doesn’t mean they’re wrong.
Ring me up in a million years. We can talk it over.
I chose long ago for Christ, and understand since this is an eternal life, it is already ON. Now. Today.
Eternity does not start when one dies, from my understanding.
Citizen, you use a rational argument to counter an emotional one. Most always such fails. My current retort is to ask, “What gives you the right to demand I sacrifice myself for you?” Yep, Randian—but she was right!

The overall intelligence in western societies has degraded in the past few decades while meek compliance has “upgraded”. There don’t seem to be any men among men who will stand and call bullshit to all this feminized crap. In general, we’re like the wicked witch melting away after getting doused.
Chris Wallace blamed the Western wildfires on climate change last night like it was the gospel and allowed Biden to transition to blaming every hurricane and tornado in the United States on it as well. What can’t climate change do? In regards to Covid, for the first few months the elites were genuinely terrified of it.

Hey! Burning forests don’t add carbon to the atmosphere!
Neither do burning cities!
We need China to provide all that clean energy, just look at their fantastic pollution controls!
PS- sarcasm aside, I heard a good conjecture on why beneficient, beautiful, flora-friendly carbon is experiencing a slight rise, while the sunspot Maunder minimum is taking us into a mini-Ice Age circa 1600-1850:
The dams.
Dams, the original green energy, are cutting off the mineral nutrient flow of river silt to the oceans.
90% of the carbon-to-oxygen cycle is ocean plankton, not the land plants.
We’re getting algae blooms and ocean dieoff because the seas are starving, unable to feed the surface plankton. Thus, less carbon recycling.
Damned electricity!
It is killing the planet!

I live in France and the hysteria level is being whipped up again, on the basis of more detected exposures (i refuse to use the word “cases,” which implies symptoms) and increased numbers of hospializations (a number of which I’m suspicious. There are color-coded risk areas; with Paris now “super-red.” But there are no excess deaths, and that’s the best measure of whether there is a genuine public health problem. There is talk of additional confinements this fall and some schools have closed, but a nationwide confinement would be so economically devastating that it probably won’t happen. There is some… Read more »
“Cases” actually means positive tests, real or not.
A positive test, prior to this summer, would never have been sufficient cause to describe someone as a “case”. A true case requires symptoms.
We’ve reached the stage now where everyone is pointing out that
We are seeing this type of analysis everywhere.
The disjuncture between what is presented in the “official” newspapers–PANDEMIC!!!–and the experience of daily life, where I don’t know a single person infected with the virus (let alone sick or dead) is astounding.
Unfortunately, “reality” for the NPCs is not what they see with their own eyes, but what they read or see on “official” news outlets which, as everyone in our thing knows, are building up a portrait of things so fictional, so totally made up of lies, that’s it’s more like the “world building” of the Marvel or DC fictional universes than anything approaching actual descriptive journalism.

Strangers that are paid millions to deliver the editorial edicts of the six major media corporations that control over 95% of the US media.
The reason TPTB have been able to inflict this moronic Kovid Krackdown on us is because Westerners are, in the main, pathetic cowards.

Look, if you’re 90 and still have a yard long bucket list, you’re better off accepting that you f’d up your life a few decades ago.
Flunatics really are a death cult, just like the Muslims.
Heritage Americans are older than before. Ever jumped off a FM radio mast near the blinky light on top? I have. At night. But now I’ve entered my 50’s and the prospect of living a more genteel life into my 90’s doesn’t seem so cowardly anymore. Although I won’t wear a mask when at all possible.

The global warming panic operated along the same lines as this Covid panic.

Whether humans reach such states as described in science fiction via virtue signaling, self-genocide via birth rate, as one honorable stateswoman once blurted, “what difference does it make!”
People in the past were more religious and do to limitations of medicine and such accepted death as a part of life. Not so much now.
Modern people are often as not, not religious, only 25% of people attend regular services and in the case of many Boomers so self absorbed that the idea that they to will die is unfathomable.
This and the atomized culture of people without real families leads to a very timid people.
AB, no disagreement, just a modification perhaps. What if the amount of “religiousness is an unchanging constant? And we’ve simply switched gods/religions e.g., “scientism” for Christianity?
I don’t know. No deities exists seems to have become a lot more common than before, up to 10% or more. However most people are at most agnostic or often deist rather than actually religious. And note this is common all over the place, even in Islamic nations. I think we may be entering a so called axial age where the old religions simply no longer provide adequate meaning for a lot of the population. Until new ones do, people will revert to very basic beliefs, household deities, spirits ghosts and for Whites parts of nature are sacred ideology. UFO’s… Read more »
AB, I think you’ve summarized exactly what I wanted to say. The old religions, god centered if you like, no longer provide satisfactory meaning and answers. We require meaning/answers—it’s hardwired—so we move on to different religions, e.g., scientism—who’s worship/sacramental practice for discovery/knowledge is the “scientific method”.
Wow. A big Thanks, fellas.
Scientism doesn’t have roots or tug your heart like grandchildren do. Good point.

More than one kind of brick in this wall.
These restrictions will be in place until the debt implosion. Whenever that is. As the economic crisis bites the last thing people will care about is plexiglas barriers. When we face a real crisis the others will fade away. Environmentalism is also in this camp. These are religions for people with disposable income. We’re going to have a decade of zero disposable income for 95% of the population. Perspective is going to be a bitch for some.

I denounce the gay white supremest proud boys!
The proud boys really stepped in it they got Trump and Chris Wallace to mention their names.
Might as well change their names to the David Duke boys now.
The media will crucify them.
After last night “white supremacists” have to update their motto: “We must secure the existence of a certain people and a future for the children of certain people.”
They thought that by glorifying homosexuals and marrying black women it would buy them immunity and respectability, but how wrong they were as they will be forever hated for who they are.
Depends on the target. I dont think they are doing that for the far left and their media mouthpieces, they are doing it for boomercons and the center. Old white Clinton-era “centrist democrats” buy that stuff, and we all know the orgasmic joy boomer conservatives feel at being approved of by a biracial couple and/or homosexual.
Who cares? The media is a joke.
will never voluntarily let go of their new power.
here is a summary of the great and good’s role

I have been warning people of this since they first proposed it . trump was foolish to be stampeded into this by the images coming out of the Chinese media. they were welding the doors shut on home there. but if you looked at the video, they had not blocked the windows at all. that was a dead giveaway that it was propaganda on their part.
I looked though some older debates on “Cotto-Gottfried” and there was one with Chris Hedges. Hedges comes with the claim that the murder rate is record high while Paul Gottfried says it was much higher historically. Hedges then looks it up and comes with figures from the late sixties with was slightly lower than today. I found that Hedges was very manipulative because he avoided the murderrate around the period of the crack cocaine epidemic in the eighties and nineties where it was close to twice of number today. I came across Hedges some years ago and found he an… Read more »
Check out the book “American Homicide.” It very convincingly lays out that homicide rates are the same today as they were at the end of the 19th Century with little to no change over that time. The author attempts to also answer the question why (answer is usually lack of political power and distrust in government). The only difference between late 19th C and today is *who* is doing the killing.
I still think abortion is a major factor here There is no way nature doesn’t respond/react to a woman who keeps snuffing out life every time it tries to take root and blossom There is something going on. My theory, spitballing here, is that nature makes these women crazy so this way no guy wants to breed with them and this way the infanticide gene or whatever it is doesn’t pass to the next generation But even so, there is no way abortions don’t have deleterious effects on the mind/psyche of women. Their reason to exist is to make babies,… Read more »
I’ve always believed that we have fewer serial killers than in the 70s and 80s because the same dysfunction that allows people to do that was probably a trait in their mothers who we’re probably women who are most likely to abort and actually enjoy the experience (see Hillary Clinton as usual).
Our security and tracking mechanisms are improved versus the 70s and 80s. Some of the things Ted Bundy did are no longer possible.
Up in the great white north of Ontario, my gracious premier decided to mandate masks when in a province of 17M, we had less than 50 “cases” a day. Mere weeks later we are cruising between 500-700/day. thanks for the mask, Doug
Look, when they put the COVID ‘death toll’ numbers out there in a microcosm, without any comparable “death” data, my annoyingly discerning mind signals, “someone trying to job me” and I do not buy it.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-covid-19-data-1.5669091 the data shows that Black people account for 21 per cent of reported cases in the city, while making up only nine per cent of the overall population.Similarly, Arab, Middle Eastern and West Asian people represent 11 per cent of the city’s COVID-19 cases, while only making up 4 per cent of the total population, de Villa said. Black people and other people of colour make up 83 per cent of reported cases while only making up half of the city’s population. East Asians only make up 4% of cases in Toronto. So, 79% of cases are from our “strength” diverse people. I’m… Read more »
“It’s a non white disease”
Holy schmidt.
No wonder the lords are panicking.
Ha ha! Whose god is greater, motherf—-!!
And some (cough cough Alzaebo) claim they don’t believe in a God!
does anyone see COVID and climate change as Trofim Lysenko for the modern era?
Yes.
I was just watching a video about light degradation in solar cells.
They make a huge deal about the fact that solar cells drop from 20% efficiency to 18% after being illuminated.
What about the fact that the solar cells are only 20% efficient in the first place?
Wild Geese. Damn I’m getting old. Just read your posting a third time and now I get it. Clever analogy, and subtle.
And their manufacture? Hyper-toxic.
Whole factories were being abandoned in L.A., leaving giants vats of bubbling goo.
When ethanol collapsed, more abandoned factories, 100,000 jobs lost.
Big Green is a toxic boondoggle, good only as long as the skim lasts- leaving behind swaths of poison.
if scares the crap out of me that they may be. “the great reset” from the world economic forum has a section called “resetting the table where we are to be done with traditional farming and eat synthetic meat and insect protein instead. the ominous parallels are glaring. BTW , the great reset is supposed to begin in 2021.
“Distilling power out of fear.” The view of the future from the space between.
Is Z deliberately not covering the debate or…?
I did not watch it.
me either, but i’ll bet the moderator bashed trump the whole time .
Correct. I thought Wallace did a credible job 4 years ago but last night he was downright hostile. Granted Trump was trying to dominate the thing, but I thought Wallace was a lot bitchier than he had to be.
I was kinda hoping that could be the one and only thing Biden could have done for America in his entire career: ended the charade that these debates are worthwhile and refused to participate.
I wish I hadn’t.
Me too. Train wreck doesn’t begin to describe it. The whole debate thing needed to end 30 years ago. Now that it’s coupled to a 24hr news cycle and social media zingers, it’s just awful.
Russian pranksters hacking Biden’s earpiece would have made it worthwhile.
It wasn’t a debate and there was nothing to watch.
Pure spectacle.
My first. But, the best part was the Leftwing radio talk show afterwards.
The people burning cities are outraged, outraged!, that Bad Trump didn’t follow the rules!
Worse than spectacle. “Shitshow“.
It was a mostly peaceful debate, all the more remarkable considering Trump had two debate opponents.
This about sums it up:

Drove across New York State on the Thruway on Sunday- all the electronic road signs were pro-panic. Where I live here in “Northeast College Town”-ville, it’s nuts. Most colleges and K-12 schools are remote, facemask mandates are omnipresent. The local school district is postponing in person schooling due to a rise in “cases” at the local BSU. You see people biking, walking, driving by THEMSELVES wearing the mask of submission to the great god Corona Chan. Madness.I’ll wear the face diaper if I’m at a local business as I don’t wish to jam them up, but otherwise I do not.… Read more »
The electronic traffic signs exhorting people to be afraid, be very very afraid, grind my gears like nothing else. In your face Orwellian.
It is actually some of the highest iq people who have most wholeheartedly bought into the Covid hoax just like they are more invested in climate change and BLM than the medium iq non believers.
George Orwell
Counter-intuitive as it is, intelligence does not correlate with reasonableness and clear thinking
no truer words ever spoken.
In higher ed, where many people are very smart, if crazy, they are all in on Corona Panic.
What is missing in this analysis is the pivotal role women play in enabling and maintaining this hysteria. Without female emotionality and herd mentality the COVID-19 craze would have long since blown over with cooler (male) minds prevailing. It is logic itself that finds itself increasingly outlawed and demonized. Man is no longer allowed free usage of his full cognitive functions. Instead he is forced to corrupt and warp himself, to join the braying mob of harlots and shrews and to participate in its madness, wherever it may lead and however harmful it might be. The (((powers that be))) are… Read more »

Serious Q.
Why has the western world gone so mad?
Look around you. Madness, stupidity at every turn. Are we really going to turn over our government to the Marxists, headed by a dementia patient?
A virus. Another gift from China? A brain virus. How else to explain this collapse of the once glorious Western Civilization? Why are we submitting to black supremacy, all the while blaming white supremacy?
We had better find a vaccine soon before it’s too late!
Between epic voting fraud and the masses of brainwashed progtards, I believe we will.
Zman do you still subscribe to the Stoic philosophy? I remember Ramzpaul mentioning in a video once he follows the stoic philosophy which is to just do the right thing. It meant you had to control emotions of anger or sadness and just remain stoic. Do you adhere to this philosophy??
WAIT A GOSH-DAM MINUTE
Did I just hear a replay of that azzwipe JERK (((Wallace))) say, “white supremacist attacks like in Kenosha”
Oh fkk. Having some very, very bad thoughts right now.
(This, on a backwoods gospel station in Tennessee)
Hmmmm. Wonder why they stuck Wallace in there?
Maybe: https://nationalfile.com/video-trump-mocked-chris-wallace-for-asking-stupid-questions-on-live-tv-at-1988-rnc/
It’s just the extra layers of bullshit we’re smelling. Once the virus made it to this country our choices were limited. Let it run and deal with the consequences, or reduce it’s spreading rate and deal with those consequences. For the latter, one of those is when you reduce the spreading rate you prolong the period of infectious people. Of course no one is going to mention that. “Oh, by the way while we have you locked down we’re also going to prolong the disease period.” Who wants to be the bearer of those tidings, so they bullshit people.

I liked the content of the one I watched, but yeah the quality of their broadcast was underwhelming. And it’s not a cost factor, my impoverished adjunct professor buddy puts on a better presentation with the gear he has.
Sweden stands out as the sore thumb of normalcy with no lockdown. The mask is the mark of the true believer. Not wearing one has led to altercations culminating in death (unfortunate Dollar Store security guard who tried to enforce rules in the land of anarchy). This cat was never meant to be let out of the bag, reinforcing the theory this was an accidental release. What other phantoms lurk in the lab freezers of Wuhan.
“Climate change does not exist in any way that impacts the lives of people.” Of course you are right in the everyday, practical sense. But, as I like to beat the subject to death provide background detail, the statement is “trivially” true as philosphers would say. Climate change is measured in centuries and millenia (usually). It most certainly impacts our lives. Humans have had, and likely will again, have to adapt to ice ages and other perverse climates. The good news is we’ll have plenty of time to adapt, barring a volcano, big meteor impact, or other chaotic event. World… Read more »

>Climate change does not exist in any way that impacts the lives of people. Come on, man. This is Reason-tier. The sort of thing that helped the usual suspects seize control of the conservation movement and turn it into the open borders Gaia cult. Below the Equator, the warming and drying trends of the past three decades have already reduced the amount of land capable of supporting the population currently there. These same trends are also reducing the amount of land capable of supporting the population that the emerging Beck-Yglesias axis wants to see here in North America. As we… Read more »
Big black pill for me that Climate Change and Covid Crap are treated so credibly so as to be big issues in a presidential debate. Appears most are ready for the great reset.
“Come on, man. This is Reason-tier. The sort of thing that helped the usual suspects seize control of the conservation movement and turn it into a open borders Gaia cult.” Nope. The conservation movement was subverted the exact same way all the other institutions were and for all the same reasons. The usual suspects promoted and funded status-seeking syncophants to muscle out the founders of those movements, so that they could sell their own hollow brand of conservation, wrapped in the skin-suits of those once authentic organizations. Once that was achieved, they were free to use “conservationism” as yet another… Read more »
Whether warming causes Big Ag or fkking, or not, they’re still fkking like mad-
So yes, valid premise and approach, we’ve outstripped our larder. Speak in a language that grabs ’em.
Wolves or Wakandans?
We are in this situation because Trump unnecessarily trivialized the situation early on and then later caved.
The left dug in its heals and went extreme, when Trumps cave came, it was the extreme liberal reaction that won out.
This is what you get with a “chaos” president who stirs up the hornets nest and then runs away.
It is why I hope he looses in a month.
It is why I hope he looses in a month.
Good call, hopefully Biden and team will fix this mess of a country for you. Btw, it is loses, not looses.
Had Hillary won, we would not be in this mess becuase the Democrat governors wouldn’t have crashed the economy.
The restrictions would have been minimal as they would want her to get re-elected.
Most of the restrictions were to deliberately hurt Trump and prevent his re-election. The problem is that Trum never fought back after he caved.
You like to get your chuckles from triggering the left, but then the left pulls out a gun and shoots the economy.
Who’s fault is that?
The Left destroys the economy, and millions of jobs, just to try to own Trump.
That’s on the Left, and you, for supporting mafia tactics.
they would have done it anyway. rmember this is going on world wide.

Tinyyyy!!
Missed you!
Love and kisses, XOXOXXX
I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees as the left’s hostage. Nobody said it would be a smooth ride.
Besides, it has to happen. Things can’t go on this way.
I always mix those two up, and spell check is no help, obviously!
Blumpf was based last night.
I’m supporting him because he makes the left go insane and expose their anti white agenda. Millions of whites have woken up in the past 4 years alone. Nobody trusts the FBI now.
Ending critical race theory is amazing. So it reducing legal immigration and cutting refugees. I appreciated his refusal to denounce dissidents last night too. Joe will just flood you with so many immigrants you will never change anything.
When “the Left goes insane and exposes their anti-White agenda,” all that means is that their revenge will be carried out upon average badwhites like us.
”Triggering the Libs” just means they get to lay a harder, state-sanctioned beating on us that we get thrown in a cage for resisting.
So you would rather die a slow painful, but relatively peaceful death. Personally I want to force the lefts’ hand now while White people still have a fighting chance.
As Z likes to say, when your options are doing something stupid, or doing nothing, doing nothing is a viable option.
We are not capable of defeating ZOG, period. However, if we lay low and don’t get ourselves killed, it may collapse on its own.
This is where I disagree with Z. We are running out of time. I’m not saying charge the barricades, but by the time the left has the ability to arbitrarily gulag us Soviet style, it will be to late. We need to force them to act now while we still have numbers. Preferably using Alt-lite morons who still believe this is America as human shields.
And I’m not talking open warfare, but political concessions, such as relative freedom of association.
In the words of Saruman, “the hour grows later than you think.” I hate to keep going back to the Ancien Regime for my analogies, but I will here because it’s applicable: When the Bastille happened, King Louis was urged to flee to the Castle of Mainz, which was heavily fortified and only 10 miles from the Austrian Netherlands. He remained at Versailles, and 3 months later an armed mob dragged the whole royal family into the heart of Paris. A much harder, riskier escape attempt from Paris would fail 2 years later, and Louis found himself headless 2 years… Read more »
Tsar’s advisors 1916: Maybe we should fight back, sir.
Tsar: Nah. It’ll pass if we keep our heads down.
We are not the Tsar. We’re the Kulaks, and like the Kulaks, we will pay for Imperial failure.
Why are we settling for being the Kulaks when we could just be like Kuomintang, instead? Where’s our Taiwan? Chinese nationalists lost, but that place is doing fine these days. You know, we could follow their example of fleeing to a point of refuge and rebuilding there, living in freedom and all that jazz. Oh, sorry. That might interrupt grilling season.
MWV that is correct. we are the kulaks
I feel that way sometimes also. But where we are at the result of decades of inaction. If your analogy is right, we will find out whose right much sooner than I would like.
Yikes. Touche’, Monsieur Meme, tou-frickin’-che’.
“However, if we lay low and don’t get ourselves killed, it may collapse on its own” That’s just pathetic. A perfect encapsulation of the dissident right. There are viable options like secession that could work, but the middle-class boomer cowards who frequent this side of the political divide are lazy and don’t want their hamburger supply threatened. Be honest, that’s the real reason for the seemingly endless complaints about Covid and “face diapers.” Many of you are greedy materialists who just want to get your grill on. BTW, this thing isn’t collapsing any time soon. That’s a delusional cope on… Read more »
“Secession could work”
Like it did for Bobby Lee?
Like it worked in 1776 and with Texas.
Texas? You’re referring to the place that was 90% white in 1836? That place?
Nope. I want to fight.
However if you take a shot at the king, you had better kill the king.
Living under a tyrant is bad, but fighting him without being prepared to win is worse than doing nothing.
Trump is a carny Barker who just wants to throw pie in the king’s face.
”Hurr Durr, libtards triggered!”
Then his supporters laugh like retards as the king retaliates and jail/executes his enemies in post assasination-attempt purges.

Trump did not end CRT. They’re still going ahead with it in every institution, completely ignoring his orders. Nor did he create a “space force”. Or build a wall. Or lock anyone up. Or scale back troops (he simply moved them around).
There’s an enormous discrepancy between what he says and what he DOES. The man has no idea what he’s doing and he’s the laughingstock of DC.
yes, then we WILL get the gun bans and confiscation we really need when joe is in charge
I understand the downvotes — most of them were earned merely for writing “looses” — but there’s more than a kernel of truth here. Trump has handled this abysmally. Yes, he was just a bit too flippant about it early on. Yes, he then let the Covidians run wild when anyone with a brain knew that the emergency powers they appropriated for themselves would be guarded with a violent tenacity. Yes, he’s spent the summer with seemingly no game plan to end the tyranny. The guy’s instincts are often correct and I think he understood what was going on back… Read more »
I agree that the strategy of stirring a hornets nest for saying something that needed to be said and then doing nothing is counterproductive. Trump is a showman.
Vaccines: The media is obviously already ginning up the next phase(s) of the narrative. We can’t open up until there’s a vaccine! becomes… We can’t open up until (insert arbitrary percentage) are vaccinated! becomes… We can’t open up until EVERYONE is vaccinated or there’s a vaccine mandate. Bonus side narratives are available too. Those people in Red State aren’t requiring vaccines like we are over here in Blue State.
