Super-Duper Obese

And other news.

Morbidly obese.  There is a connection between a certain type of freedom uber alles rightist politics and being fat, isn’t there?

Also interesting, and consistent with my writing on the subject, is that Trump, who has previously promoted anti-vaxx views, is taking maintenance medication because of his blubber (spelling corrected and emphasis added):

At his physical in January 2018, his total cholesterol was 223, which is higher than recommended, even though he was taking a low dose of the statin drug Crestor to help lower so-called “bad” cholesterol and fats. Last year, his doctor said he would increase that dose in an effort to get Trump’s bad cholesterol reading of 143 down below 120.

Thus, we can observe the right-wing landwhales (*) who decry “Big Pharma’s” dastardly needles, but who enthusiastically gulp down all sorts of “Big Pharma” medications to allow themselves to be healthy enough to breach out of bed every morning.

*They should beware of Faroe Islanders roaming through the aisles of Walmart, hunting all of the Great White Whales there. Ahoy!  Harpoons to the ready!  Thar she blows!  Thar she breaches!

A reasonable comment followed by deranged anti-vaxx hysteria. “Heavy metals and animal parts.”  Lies, lies, and lies.  Diseases we are vaccinated against are “trivial.” Easy to say by someone already vaccinated and/or protected by the herd immunity granted by sane people.

Measles – not trivial; believe me, it’s not. German measles may be trivial to the typical patient, but not to pregnant women who may become infected.  Adult men are advised not to get mumps – can you say “ouch” (or “sterility?”).  How about Polio?  Break out the iron lungs!  Tetanus? Trivial?  Diphtheria?  Trivial?  Pertussis?  Trivial? Is Hepatitis trivial?

I get called “insane,” but a legitimate medical case can be made that anti-vaxxers are indeed insane due to an inability to recognize reality.  Remember the anti-vaxx battle cry - viruses and bacteria don't cause disease, but, very soon, all non-human animal life on Earth is going to be exterminated by "bullets flying everywhere." Hey - I just saw a paramecium swimming away from a rifle-toting Faroe Islander. The water's gonna be turning red - or whatever color paramecium innards are.

Meanwhile, the book Bottle of Lies very clearly exposes that maintenance medications manufactured in India and China are indeed sometimes contaminated, certain genetic knock-offs useless, and many are dangerous.  But for some reasons – who knows why? – anti-vaxxers eschew criticism of medications taken due to lifestyle choices or due to delusions about offspring intelligence.

If you look at some of the anti-vaxx rhetoric coming from the Right, you’ll notice a lot of objections about being forcibly "jabbed” – and that 100% supports my oft-cited contention that the real reason for anti-vaxxism is an innate fear and distaste weak-minded people have for the mode of administration of vaccines. In other words, they are afraid of needles; in addition, I have speculated that there is a psychosexual component here, a (subconscious?) perception that the (Jew?) doctor is going to forcibly “sodomize” them with the needle, violate their bodily integrity – and taint their “precious bodily fluids,” I suppose – and so attack their “freedom” and sense of self.  Related to this is the fears of “toxins” and “chips” and “genetic modification” – the analogy to STDs acquired from “bad sex” or “rape” is clear.  Again – if vaccines were taken by pill, and statins were injected, these idiots would support vaccines and reject statins (which would actually reflect what’s in the literature and reflect reality), despite the fact that the fatties believe that statins (which really do have side effects and whose efficacy for actual mortality is questionable to say the least) will enable them to safely get away with being human dirigibles. It’s interesting that so much ire has been focused on the MMR vaccine (injected), and very little given to the past oral polio vaccine, even though there were cases of old folks (whose immunity had weakened), and isolated children, actually contracting polio the vaccine (children) or from changing the diapers of infants (old folks) who had been so vaccinated (today, they give the less effective injected polio vaccine for that reason – presumably “bad” because it is delivered by "jabbing” children).

Do we want public health policy influenced by people whose real underlying rationale about vaccination is fear of needles and bizarre sexual fixations about being  "jabbed” by needles? As I’ve said many times, the REAL public health threat from ”Big Pharma” is maintenance medications, but, alas, popping pills mimics the well-loved eating process (indeed, it is so well-loved that it has created the need for most of those maintenance medications in the first place), so no problem.  So goes Der Right.

Right-wing health and science advice:

StronzaPosted May 19, 2020 at 12:30 pm | PermalinkThe worse the flu, both in terms of individual severity and total number of deaths, the weaker the population is. That poor virus doesn’t cause anything in any meaningful sense, it’s a messenger, a marker. Same as the Black Death – read up on the way people were living. It is a miracle that there was anybody left after nature took its logical course. Back then, they were immersed in obvious physical filth and poor diet and drinking water; today, it’s harder to see that our daily lives are no better. Our “public health” experts are just more efficient at hiding the symptoms of our deep sickness.
Still, today, it’s all about “transmission” of some bacteria or virus, as if we, sweet innocents, one way or another never provided any welcoming terrain for these substances. There’s always some invisible “enemy” out there to get us – that is the idea that our betters have been promoting far back as I can remember and a great deal longer than that.
@Greg. We ARE a shit hole country underneath our apparently clean lives. Time to quit blaming viruses for that. I am not going to lose sleep if lots of people are happy to be endlessly sanitizing their hands, wearing face diapers and staying indoors 24/7 instead of doing what it takes to promote their own and their children’s overall health.

Hey, we can get rid of the viruses and bacteria by "bullets flying everywhere," right?  Yes, indeed, right after the bullets take out the plankton and the eyelash mites.

Meanwhile, Johnson calls me "insane." Johnson's apparent definition of "insanity" - you  are "insane" if you criticize him and he knows he can't win any sort of debate against you.

Time to hunt, and let the streets of Berlin run red with blood!  Yes we can!  Bullets flying everywhere!

Super-duper missiles!  Here’s a question. Why is “apocalypse likely” when America develops those weapons, but no one said a word when the Russians and Chinese started first?

Counter-Currents comments, emphasis added:

DandelionPosted May 19, 2020 at 5:26 am | PermalinkThese podcasts are probably the best on the web. Keep up the good work. What is the writers block thing he refers to?

The difference between slaughter of cattle and the whales is that the killing of farm animals is a necessary evil to provide food, whereas the killing of whales is unnecessary. Bambi’s mom but in the water.

Greg often alludes that “some of the best and worst people he has met have been wns.” I find this cryptic remark intriguing. I wish he would elaborate what he means, preferably by providing some character sketches.

Best: Buttercup Dew, James O’Meara, Jack Donovan

Worst: Ted Sallis, Richard Spencer, Andrew Joyce

Actually, I have written the same thing on my blogs.  Guess who some of the worst people from my perspective would be.

BreidablikPosted May 19, 2020 at 4:41 am | PermalinkInteresting answers to the “million dollar question” about the Viking and Germanic warrior spirit. What you said about our conscientiousness and moral communities helps to explain why the Germanic countries are so guilt-ridden today.

Germany feel guilty for the Holocaust, Britain for its colonialism, America for its slavery, South Africa for its apartheid, and Sweden for its racial biology. And the ruling elites of these countries try to atone for these historical “sins” by favouring mass immigration and multiculturalism. As far as I can see there is no real equivalent to this in southern or eastern Europe

Sure, that’s why there’s no “mass immigration and multiculturalism” in, say, Italy, right?  I mean, isn't that right?  Yes?  Certainly, right?

Behold the Afrowop.

Evola is one of the writers who has most influenced the metapolitical outlook and project of Counter-Currents…

That explains much, doesn’t it!  Traditionalism!  Read your copy of Ride the Tiger snug in your hobbit hole!  Ignore that rumbling noise...that’s just Chinamen launching themselves to the stars.

Colonization for the 21st century: John Morgan in Hungary.

Yes, Greg, the same message of The Occidental Observer and Red Ice. Yet, you say nothing against those outlets.  Time to call me “insane” again I suppose, to deflect attention from your hypocritical focus on playing “movement politics” instead of doing the right thing. Perhaps you can discuss it all with this individual "under house arrest."  Freedom!  Fight da gummint!

Question – are people on the Far Right criticizing Tucker Carlson now because of Carlson’s continued (justified) criticism of China.  Remember, the entire “movement” is tainted by HBD, and HBD literally worships the Chinese.

Is this perhaps a photo of two male activists attending a Philly-area "Alt Right" meeting?  The fox is a flirt!  He thinks the rooster is cute!

Well, well, well...is this another commentator close to be being "banned?" -

re: Faroe Island culling
I think Frodi’s position here is rather weak. Arguing in favor of tradition simply for tradition’s sake isn’t going to convince anyone. Furthermore it ignores what is moral. The Chinese can claim that their cruel mistreatment of animals must continue because it’s their tradition.
Those who oppose the whale hunt are doing so on moral grounds (essentially arguing the slaughter is inhumane). Frodi recognizes this, and so compares the method of slaughter to that of cows on a farm. This is disingenuous. Cows are stunned and killed instantly with a bolt to the brain. Do the whales lose consciousness and die as quickly? If not, the methods used are not comparable. In fact, it seems the whale slaughter has more in common with kosher or halal slaughter than that which puts beef in our supermarkets.
The most convincing argument for the continuation of the slaughter is that those who engage in it are utterly destitute and require it to feed themselves. This is true of some seal hunts in Alaska, for example. However I doubt the Scandis are so poor and isolated that they can’t find some other way to feed themselves. Therefore arguing for it on economic grounds is another dead end.

Frodi is an idiot.  What do you expect from someone still associated with Johnson?
