Jul 22, 2021 Yeah no it doesn't necessarily prove that at all. It could also be because they got into lockdown in time and chinese people follow government rules a lot better than eurpeans or americans. I'm not saying masks can't be a part of it but its an assumption that masks are the sole reason. And I think its not that effective based on the fact that most infections in Holland happened at home... where nobody wears one. So wearing a mask in an empty train or supermarked isn't gonna do s--- if people have huge parties at home spreading the virus lol
Jul 22, 2021 Yeah, you don't need a corporation or a government job if you charge people their life's savings right before they die.
Jul 22, 2021 So, people were just spontaneously getting COVID19... not from someone else.... and then having house parties?
Jul 22, 2021 Trump really did consolidate all the liberal democrats I used to be embarrassed by... the new age science deniers... the RFK Jr Anti-vaxxers... the Alex Jones 9/11 Truthers... the pop culture worshippers... and brought them into the Republican Party... now the racist Republicans like Space Monkey have to pretend to like these misfits or they don't have a Party.
Jul 23, 2021 If Donald Trump runs (he will) he’s the Republican nominee. He is still the face of that party. DeSantis is gaining some traction because he’s cosplaying as Trump. He can’t out Trump the original lol.
Jul 23, 2021 >implying res' autism let's him speak about anything other than himself, thicc black girls he sleeps with, or his set-in-stone superiority-political-complex Lmao good one jet, he's far too busy with his bbw and typing up some s--- about parlour nobody gives a f--- about
Jul 23, 2021 True but there’s protocols which extended their ability to effectively eradicate the virus from the population more than just mask-wearing. Testing was the main one to track the virus to break the transmission & then self-isolation, which is the opposite of what a lot of the failed response countries did. We were told in early Jan that family clusters were the main spread source at about 70~% - so the Asian countries revised their protocols & stopped in-house grouped isolations, the others didn't. It just got to a point in the Western countries that the virus was everywhere, we never had a full lockdown anywhere, just social lockdowns or the odd ‘local’ lockdown, but the virus was already flowing through the whole population & regions at all of these points for these protocols to be any form of eradication. This is the problem when your countries are constantly engulfed in culture wars, it stops people from rationally listening to science, everything has an ‘agenda’ lol.
Jul 23, 2021 Not just the West, but the entire world would have had to adopt exceptionally heavy-handed policies to eradicate the virus, which was never going to happen. In that scenario the cure really would have been worse than the disease. People are right to suspect an agenda. If not in the conspiracy sense, then certainly in the sense of the logical trajectory of so-called progress: If a dystopia is what you want, you should be celebrating, not whining. It won't happen overnight, but things definitely seem to be going in your direction!
Jul 23, 2021 Thanks. I doubt res will understand this since he only made smartass remarks and asked dumb questions, but this is basically what I meant. I gave up responding to it lol.
Jul 23, 2021 Late stage capitalism is causing dystopia... not an effort to eradicate a hyper contagious virus.
Jul 23, 2021 Exactly. Man has an anti-American government stance on all his posts I’ve seen yet red scare is baked into every political statement he conjures up, make it make sense. Regardless of people’s opinions on marxism as a whole, central planning & controlled markets are much more efficient at tackling crises as these than more traditional laissez-faire capitalism.
Jul 23, 2021 Wait LOL actual real living people with a functioning brain (semi functioning) actually believe the Government are putting deadly worms in face masks?
Jul 23, 2021 Congrats, in your effort to slight me, instead you embarrassed yourself by (once again) admitting that you have the reading level of a mouthbreather. That's an even more spectacular face plant than res's howler two pages back. Thanks for the show, hargy.
