Even if kills you and sickens and kill others? The thought process of a spoiled child.
Are you a bee? An ant? A cow? A horse?

No, you are a man. You are responsible for yourself and your family first

It’s funny bc most of “the west” is fairly collective. From Canada to Sweden to France.
Not Historically

This is a recent development in the past couple hundred years, and not surprising from the serfs and peasants who stayed where they came from rather than striking off for a better life in the New World

add to the fact that massive amounts of real men were massacred in the two world wars and, well, you have the Europe you have today

What does China know about COVID the rest of the world doesn't? Or is this all show on the worlds stage for the olympics?
The Chicoms have never had COVID under control.

They can't control it. No one can.

The numbers they've released regarding infections and deaths are total bullshit.

Over 1/4 of the population lives in poverty. Lots of COPDers, not to mention other chronic medical conditions that don't receive care.

These people are toast when it comes to previous waves of COVID.

The death toll is likely through the roof, but no one yet knows where all the bodies are buried.

The only thing the world knows about COVID in China is the image portrayed in major cities.

We only know what we're allowed to see.

The "test everyone" strategy is an exercise in futility. China knows this but when people like hal9000 see these sorts of images on TV it tickles their pickle with adoration for the Chinese.

An outbreak at the Olympics would be really bad for China's image domestically and abroad as it would make it very apparent the Chicom strategy does not work.

The Chicom government must maintain an image of control.

BTW, what a dystopian shithole. Loved the bars on the windows in the internment camps.

Do you pay taxes?

I know you think they are theft but do you pay them?

I'm trying to see where the line exist between your family and society is.

Shouldn't you be off the grid?

And WTF are you doing on the internet?
You get “free” government internet?

crazy!

Nothing worse than a fake rugged individualist.

The tricks they do to avoid cognitive dissonance. . . .

There are worse things but . . .
He has seen too many Westerns, thinks he is brave pioneer taming the west.

There are worse things

Mainly people who do not believe in free will and would rather leech off the labor of others

Or racists who believe that we should judge people and reallocate wealth based on what ancestors who looked similar to them did

Those last two sentences are a nice circle. Didn't said ancestors deny free will and leech off the labor of others? US Cotton can probably pony up some dough. Walmart too just because.

And hey, you don't give your kids complete free will while they most definitely leech off your labor.


Speaking of leeching, figured out a way to beat slot machines is to watch someone take beatings on one, sit down after they leave, and cash in off their jinx. It's even more effective if they watch it happen - the gods like that sh!t. But people do get irritated when you do that to them multiple times. :monkey:
