Odds and Ends, 12/15/20

Various issues.

Covid conundrum: It is difficult to get a good handle on the covid crisis, even after all of this time.  In the USA, the situation is completely politicized. The Left is selectively alarmist (White Thanksgiving dinners bad, BLM riots good) on covid; while the Right is dismissively flubro. We get conflicting messages on the utility of masks and lockdowns, even the seriousness of the disease itself is in question. One can consider sober analysts from outside the USA, like John Campbell, who take the covid crisis very seriously; generally, people from outside of the USA tend to take the disease seriously, for what that is worth. The idea that the whole thing is an anti-Trump leftist conspiracy is absurd; however, what the final outcome will be is open to question.

What's interesting is that neither the Left nor Right addresses the 800 pound bat (or pangolin) in the room - the role of China.  China - a disgusting festering petri dish of disease infecting the world. China - which breeds diseases that become capable of making the cross-species jump from Chinese to humans.

Look, I'm not happy with Fauci either, but it is quite telling that the Right focuses several orders of magnitude more anger toward Fauci than they do to the real villains, China and the Chinese. But, hey, with that greasy-haired, buck-toothed, flat-chested Chinatrix named "Ben Dover" approaching them with a strap-on, the Right knows when to keep silent.

Further, even if you think the covid situation is all overblown, there are explanations other than a conspiracy. We live in a feminized, risk-averse society, where absolute safety is the pipe-dream paradigm, with politicians who want to look like they are doing something, and a society where everyone in authority wants to protect themselves from potential legal, political, and media fallout. So, by default, they'll always go for the most intrusive and "safe" alternative when dealing with any problem.

Sure – because, after all, as we know, teenagers and other children live isolated in their own youth-ethnostate, and never come in contact with anyone else, including parents or grandparents...or teachers. The Right is becoming so retarded, it is embarrassing.  Note that this is not meant as a defense of the current lockdown situation, simply a criticism of the Right’s unmitigated stupidity.

Greg Johnson, flubro. The transition from covid alarmist to flubro is basically complete, with, of course, not the slightest acknowledgment of his previous positions on the matter.

There is no way out but through Johnson.

See this.  First, Cornell is violating federal civil rights laws and violating the US Constitution by giving race-based exemptions to mandatory vaccination. White students should sue.  Second, there may be legitimate questions about vaccines (I see the DNA-based ones as particularly problematical) but that the vaccination is a “jab” is not one of them. Let’s develop a covid vaccine in pill form so Lana won’t quiver in fear of being “jabbed” by those scary needles. 

There are legitimate criticisms to make about lockdowns and mandatory masking, and, as I said, some questions can be asked about some of the vaccines.  But the Right is not making any such legitimate criticisms, they are just acting like jackasses, as usual, as is the Left (in the opposite direction).

It is certainly interesting that the same types of folks who are against masks and lockdowns are also against vaccination. Are they still going to promote the idea that it is "only the common cold?"  Is everyone else on board with the dastardly conspiracy?

Thanks China.  But, hey, let’s talk about “jabs” instead.  Indeed, look at the similar terminology here.  Do these types compare notes, or is The Estrogenic Right (of both the XX and XY varieties) united in their fear of scary needles?  Note also the "Big Pharma is going to make money" ploy.  As I've said many times, "Big Pharma" makes most of their money selling nice non-scary, non-jabbing, pills to the public, to take care of the diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure resulting from all of you being fat bastards, or selling Adderall to all of the folks who can't admit that they and/or their children are just plain stupid and lazy. "Big Pharma" also made lots of money from the opioid crisis, but let's not critique any high-IQ Jews like the Sacklers now, shall we? Jews, like Chinese, are immune to criticism. After all, the Jew is not "jabbing" you with his beak-like levantine semitic nose (a naked Jew with an erection walks into a wall; he'll bang his nose first), it's those scary needles instead!  Hey!  Since Zman encourages White boycotts (a good idea, no doubt), can we start by boycotting Der Movement?  Leave the tin cup empty.

Interesting essay on academic follies.

Ramzpaul’s speech about wearing masks.

Laugh at this.

My fascination with Irish folklore started when I was a kid. My favorite cereal was Lucky Charms, which featured a leprechaun with a pot of gold on the cereal box.

Counter-Currents is reaching new heights of intellectualism, no doubt.

Sallis right once again – consistent with the direction of Counter-Currents of being a White ethnic-hating HBD-Nordicist blog, the execrable hyper-Nordicist Andrew Hamilton makes a return appearance.  The Quota Queens are so predictable, it is ludicrously comical. Well, that was fast - my Call to the Ethnics post is becoming quickly confirmed to the shabbos sud and shabbos ost untermenschen.

There is no way out but through Johnson.
