Wow. This is really bad stuff by China here. https://t.co/OtkCzniCCJ

If it wasn’t a lab leak, why is China doing everything possible to make it look like it couldn’t have been anythng else?

It looks like the Delta variant is the cudgel the lockdown lifers and their enablers are going to attempt to use to herd us back indoors and back into masks. And where countries are stupid and self-hating enough to do it, it’ll be back into lockdown again.

We must resist this insanity. The time is now because if these clowns win, it’ll never end.

What we know about Sydney’s Delta variant.

Australian full vaccination rate is only 10% still. This was always the risk to countries that had “controlled” Covid like Australia — they would (and did) get complacent, and when a worse variant emerged, they would be at extreme risk due to low vax rates and no natural immunity built up.

I hope for the best for them, but my guess is self-punishing countries like Australia will spend years if not decades in rolling lockdowns and such now, with travel restrictions lasting just as long. And at worse, the Delta variant might tear through there despite their best efforts.

Prison countries are going to be a fact of life for a quite a while it appears.

Just realized after reading a paper that Covid eliminationism would’ve meant 200 million or more people in low-income countries starving to death.

Yeah, that was always a busted dream.

Oh, this one is going to make the lockdown lifers cry:

Damn, that’s fun.

Realize that these propaganda pushes are all related:

1) It’s ok to be fat, miserable, and die young of preventable diseases.

2) You should stay inside forever and buy things online.

3) Being confined to a prison country is normal and good.

4) “Believe science!”

5) It’s impossible to be better than you are.

6) It’s good for you to eat ultra-processed poison food meat substitutes and it helps the planet too!

Covid gave these entwined propaganda streams plenty of nitrogen and phosphorous to grow like weeds in the collective psyche of our society and they are becoming (mostly) liberal dogma now. These beliefs are inescapable and I reject them all. There are more, of course, but these are the basics. And I am eliding much for the sake of concision.

If you believe these things, ask who is controlling your mind. Is it you? Probably not.

Tellement mignon! J’aime la façon dont ses chansons sont de parfaites petites gâteries.

I will never be nothing but enraged at the lockdown lifer liberals who are still advocating for prison countries, lockdowns, resumption of masking, cowering inside crying, the whole tired lockdown lifer spiel.

Torture yourself if you want. I wish I could hurt those people. I want to hurt them a lot.

No one is or will ever be anything like Hope Sandoval, but that’s a pretty good cover for a song that’s nearly impossible to cover.
