In der news. In all cases, emphasis added.

Vaccination free-riding.

Individual decision-making regarding vaccination may be affected by the vaccination choices of others. As vaccination produces externalities reducing transmission of a disease, it can provide an incentive for individuals to be free-riders who benefit from the vaccination of others while avoiding the cost of vaccination. This study examined an individual's decision about vaccination in a group setting for a hypothetical disease that is called “influenza” using a computerized experimental game. In the game, interactions with others are allowed. We found that higher observed vaccination rate within the group during the previous round of the game decreased the likelihood of an individual's vaccination acceptance, indicating the existence of free-riding behavior. The free-riding behavior was observed regardless of parameter conditions on the characteristics of the influenza and vaccine. We also found that other predictors of vaccination uptake included an individual's own influenza exposure in previous rounds increasing the likelihood of vaccination acceptance, consistent with existing empirical studies. Influenza prevalence among other group members during the previous round did not have a statistically significant effect on vaccination acceptance in the current round once vaccination rate in the previous round was controlled for.

The ultimate free-riding in this regard are the anti-vaxxers who benefit from the herd immunity generated by the mass of the population that is vaccinated. 

A liar.

You will still have to wear a mask forever and live in isolation, but you will be happy.

Rewritten for more accuracy:

You will still have to be among Negroes forever and live with Section Eight housing but you will be happy.

Fighting for “freedom” over vaccinations and masks – check

Smiling benignly over stolen elections and forced integration – checkmate

Der Movement – gotta love it! 

See this.  Excerpt below; how many times I have noted the same thing here?

Many black people, especially black women, are enormously fat. Some are so fat I had to arrange special seating to accommodate their bulk. I am not saying there are no fat white students — there are — but it is a matter of numbers and attitudes. Many black girls simply do not care that they are fat. There are plenty of white anorexics, but I have never met or heard of a black anorexic.

“Black women be big Mr. Jackson,” my students would explain.

“Is it okay in the black community to be a little overweight?” I ask.

Two obese black girls in front of my desk begin to dance, “You know dem boys lak juicy fruit, Mr. Jackson.” “Juicy” is a colorful black expression for the buttocks.

Type I driving?

Another blow to the “Arctic Alliance” – more Asian whining about race, more attacking Whites, more behaving EXACTLY like Negroes. Colored is as Colored does. 

Always remember – the existential meaning of Asians is hatred of Whites.

The great Derbyshirian lie is that the dividing line is “Black vs. non-Black” while it is instead, quite clearly, “White vs. non-White.”  

Here is more.

Kwan said it is important for Asian Americans to protest the way they are being treated; to push back against the latest onslaught of bias and racism by continuing to unabashedly celebrate their food and culture.

“We don’t have to change,” he said. “We can live, breathe and eat exactly the way we do without having to adapt to white supremacy, to the white gaze, to whiteness. We can be proud of our culinary heritage.

Here’s an idea – go back to Asia, where you belong, and then you don’t have to deal with “white supremacy, to the white gaze, to whiteness.”  

An absolutely beautiful comment:

Frank Jones 

Asians are not preferrable people to live with. Cheap Chinese/Asian labor, in history and in the present day, is used to undermine White people and White communities. We used to order Chinese food on the holidays, but I have ended that habit. They are enemy combatants regardless of where they live.

And they are also “enemy combatants” regardless of who they are married to.  Or, regardless of what fake, phony, westernized first name (cultural appropriation!) they call themselves by.

More truth:

Fed Up 

"We can live, breathe and eat exactly the way we do without having to adapt to white supremacy."

You can rephrase that to: "We can live, breathe and eat exactly how we wish -- without having to kowtow to Chinese restaurants." A little bit something we call FREEDOM OF CHOICE!

That old rhetoric about eating dogs -- is it unfair to point out that dogs are still a delicacy in the Chinese cuisine. That on the Weekly Rat and Roach Report, a famous Houston news commentator almost weekly found filthy sanitary practices in the Chinese restaurants.

I would no more eat Chinese food at a Chinese restaurant than I would eat out of a dumpster. For basically the same reasons.

They do eat dog and skin the poor creatures alive because their suffering makes the meat more tender. They are a filthy people and that is why viruses arise in China over and over again. How many new viruses arise in the US, Europe, Japan or Australia?

Man or woman?  Who can tell?

Danish-American ethnoimperialist:

Within the last few years, I have spent New Year’s Eve in Ukraine, Latvia, and Hungary. Although I was fortunate enough to spend some of these moments with girlfriends…

The Herrenvolk do whatever they damn please, and don’t you forget it!

Another victory!  Part of the plan!  MAGA! Pepe!  Kek!
