My issue is that the people wearing masks are the same people who got all of us having to wear masks. So, I have little patience for these stupid scared fascists. Same with vegans. Why would I care what they eat or wear. But geezus, they sure care about what I eat or wear. Same with the green gaia religionists. You want to drive an EV, fine. But they care a lot about banning my ICE and driving up my fuel costs.
This is exactly what I meant by no functional difference. This screed in the Lancet could have been written Team Dazzler or any 22 year old dem intern working in the White House let alone a supposedly elite medical publication. Being wrong about almost everything about covid and the vaxxes is our fault for not just obeying and objecting to open borders. No apology just a pissed off rant with no facts just feelings and mistaken conclusions.
It's not just medical journals, actually, but the decline in medical journals matters perhaps more than that of any other kind of scientific publication.
Earlier today, I wrote about the retraction of an enormously influential paper on Alzheimer's disease in the journal Nature. That paper revolutionized research into how Alzheimer's might be cured, and the fact that it was fraudulent means that 15 years of research and billions of dollars have probably been wasted.
Perhaps in that case, Nature might be forgiven because it was a case of fraud. But how does one explain the publication of this article in The Lancet?
The prospects for this failing system look bleak. Donald Trump again as US President? The far right making electoral gains across Europe? Murderous political leaders able to act with impunity? Purveyors of disinformation, working under the rubric of The Geneva Project, who proclaim that, “We, people of the world, no longer abide by the tyrannical rule of unelected global officials and their vision of the future”? A collection of anti-vaxxers, right-wing activists, and conspiracy theorists gathered at the World Health Assembly on June 1 to declare their opposition to WHO's efforts to negotiate a pandemic agreement. What is the cause of this breakdown of belief in an international community? There are many possible culprits. Racism. Populism. Nationalism. But I think it was Dr Ghada who identified one especially important root cause: the loss of our humanity. The system is failing because our humanity—our compassion towards each other—has been eroded and, in some instances, erased. We are numb to one another's pain. We refuse to see the distress of our neighbour. We turn away from the misery of others. We seem to be hardly human anymore.
There are so many things wrong with this screed, not the least of which is that it is utterly ahistorical. It ignores not only the past five years, in which the WHO and the entire public health establishment got nearly every single thing wrong but also the history of humanity in itself.
Are we more racist than in the past? Hardly. More populist? Well, perhaps more than 20 years ago, but not more than 70. Populism arises when elites fail, so if populism has risen it is due to the failures of people like him. Today's populism is a result of the 2008 financial crisis and everything that followed, culminating in the conspiracy of the elites against ordinary people we experienced during COVID.
Nationalism? Oh, come on! Compared to when? Again, whatever minor bump in nationalism exists is due to the mass importation of migrants from the Third World into Western countries. It is a reaction to the anti-nationalism of the elites who have contempt for our societies.
This was a cri de coeur written by a person whose attachment to humanity extends all the way from billionaires to bureaucrats, excluding anybody whose income is below six figures.
That this appeared in a medical journal tells you exactly how much you should trust our current scientific elite: they don't care about you and me. They demand power, wealth, submission, and, above all, respect from normies.
A fictional movie 90% about war photographer drama. I wish it was more like 60%. Too much coming of age war photographer drama.
I thought this scene was a little poignant though, we all know the type who would be doing this shit. I've seen these fucks standing outside courthouses and nothing rallies, standing there with a gun hanging, just like this. Soldier of fortune types. Maybe they didn't have red glasses?
Check out the South Dakota Nazis marching with a swastika video. That ain't even fiction. These folk are real, just like you and I, just like the craziest tranny.
To read it as an overt political statement is a little much. It's a movie. A decent one. The best movies edge on reality, even if they're a little extreme. Gotta fit it into two hours.
It's communist drivel from the sound of it. You voted for the totalitarians and are going to do it again. The constitution is real and is not outdated. Read the founders own words. You'll be surprised.
Scratch a leftist find a fascist. Ern's fantasy of South Dakota Nazis says it all. All the violence is from the left. The antifa/blm summer of love. The recent Jew haters taking over major colleges. Ern bring up his South Dakota Nazi fantasy while ignoring all the actual violence on the left and where the real Jew hate is coming from.

I thought you said you were old and fat?
I am, that's me as a younger lass

It is a screed, pure and simple—an expression of rage against ordinary people who don't bow down to the failed World Health Organization. It has no argument, presents no facts, and imparts nothing new or worth considering. It is the sort of thing one might be subjected to by a leftist uncle at a Thanksgiving dinner: tedious, tendentious, and probably fueled by a bit too much alcohol.

The scene with Jesse Plemons in Civil War hits way too hard in today's atmosphere. Shoo buddy, gotta shower again.
Great movie, didn't blow my socks off overall, but it's a solid B/B+. Let's keep it fictional.
Yeah, it was put in there to be like, "See! White nationalists and racists EVERYWHERE!!!!"
Worst fucking "idea" in the entire film.
Eh
That movie gave itself away so many times. Not even just that scene with the blood red sunglasses.
Fuck off.
Dem dream movie? I just heard it's shitty.
I wouldn't say it's shitty.
But the director was pretty dishonest about the messaging so that he could get voters from both parties to go see it.

He isn't even bringing up the gas station scene.
The movie is 100% 'this is if Trump wins' dystopian stuff. It isn't hard to understand.
Fantasy, you say.
Extremism cuts both ways.
Imagine looking at the last month and coming up with this
Just not serious people
