Let’s count them down.
3. The New Normal
Yes, some of us understand you’re trying nudge us into believing this, for our own good, of course. Shove it up your ass.
2. … in the middle of a pandemic
Another obnoxious phrase you’ve taken to using, usually to show consternation at the actors involved, whoever they may be. For example:
“Calling an election, in the middle of a pandemic.”
You just got done telling us that this was “the new normal”, but you’re going to scold people for attempting to carry on with something that most would agree needs to happen and expect to happen at some point, pandemic or no. There’s no end in sight to COVID-19 restrictions in most Canadian jurisdictions. Elections should happen and so should other things. So, enough with this melodramatic, finger-wagging shit. Fuckwits.
While I’m on that, all you Canadian cunts who like to tsk and mock the non-mask-wearing, freedom-minded people to your south, Trump is right to downplay the pandemic and encourage Americans to keep living their lives as normal. Because if the Americans stop consuming, the whole world economy will collapse. There will be no CERB or whatever to bail anyone out because there will be no money. Anywhere.
Back to calling elections “in the middle a pandemic”, BC NPD, very disappointing. North Americans and Brits (okay, probably most of the white-dominated Anglosphere) are so fucking retarded in their fretting over minority governments (“hung” as those Blightie twats call it), acting like they are the Worst.Thing.Ever. Frankly, it’s the *best* thing and very healthy for a “democracy”. No, majorities *don’t* know best. It’s well-established: studies show that most people are just plain fucking stupid and deserve to be ruled by elite twats. Fuck you and your fake-ass mandate. Pandemic or no, you didn’t need to call an election. The Green-NDP coalition was doing just fine as far as we, the electorate, are concerned.
This time, I am voting Green, despite that most libtard-ish performance of Furstenau at the debate. CTV News’ Scott Roberts rightly called her out in interview over the lack of diversity in the candidates they’ve fielded, despite all their virtue signaling. (FUN FACT: the Green Party lineage is not as progressive as these white tree-huggers would like you to believe. See the very colorful history of the original Green Party in Germany.) Funny that the center-slightly-left NDP and center-more-than-slightly-right Liberals have a considerably more “diverse” field than them. Maybe their platforms resonate better with said “diverse” people? (Another FUN FACT: “diverse” people are not automatically “progressive” in their values. They are, by their very nature, diverse.)
Regardless, the BC Greens have enough good ideas (wait, is she saying UBI?) that I think they should continue to hold the NDP accountable. Shoulda kept rolling. Now you’re gonna pay for it, NDP, with one less vote!!! SUCK IT!!
1. Mental health
MSM’s fear-mongering has done more harm to people’s mental well-being than anything else. Except maybe our own obsession with our Mental Health. IMHO, the whole pandemic “narrative” could have been presented such that people still could have bought in to it, more or less, without necessarily understanding all the “science,” such as it was and continues to be (which is limited, and which none of you understand anyway, despite your constant appeals to it). Would it have been enough to convince people to be sensible without being scared stupid or at the other end of the scale, brazenly stupid? Not sure, but we’ll never know, I guess. Granted, people are not the rationale creatures many would like to believe they are. But fuck them anyway.
Zeynep Tufekci had excellent insight into many things. She is still bought in to that “every life is precious” nonsense, so of course, it guides everything else, unfortunately. And she’s too charitable with regards to the authorities early dismissal of the benefits of mask-wearing. It was definitely to prevent a run on masks by end-consumers.
But ironically, listening to smart people is not always in people’s best interest, even when those smarties genuinely think they have people’s best interest at heart. And no matter how many smart people in white coats you get to do all their best mental and verbal gymnastic routines, the fact remains that it is OLD people who are dying. Predominantly. And because we continue to insist on keeping oldsters around for an ever longer time, LONG past their expiry dates, just so we can pat ourselves on the back for the “progress” we’ve made in terms of life expectancy. And in order to do that, we must punish the young, not just with the crushing burder of debt, but now with our “curve-flattening” measures. We’ll just get some tech companies to put some mental health apps on their phones to ask them how they’re feeling today and they’ll be a’ight.
We saw how quickly people speaking plainly (like Dr. Oz on that redneck network) got scolded by the every-life-is-precious cabal. And Palo Alto Networks (and likely others) blacklisting The Great Barrington Declaration, because, they’re like, anti-vaxxers, like, anti-science, so, like, they’re just one goose-step away from being Nazis, right? The Guardian says so, so it must be. Because what they say happens to play well with Trump’s narrative, then it must be collusion! So all the jackals and shills and their fuckwit allies are going to be jumping up and down screaming anti-vaxxers/racists/nazis as they’re wont to do.
I put my mother in the ground a bit over a year ago. It was a relief for her as much as for the rest of us. She had been suffering physically and emotionally for decades. It was a relentless decline. Not all who reach her age are ready for the grave — a fellow strata council member is now 84 years old, 3 years older than my mother would be, and goes up and down the stairs of her second-floor unit every day, walking around the complex, scolding people who don’t park where they’re supposed to — but we are not permitted in our culture to let go of anyone, to “give up” on anyone, even when that person has had their fill of life. I, for one, certainly don’t want to be kept alive just so an over-schooled moron in scrubs can do another mental victory lap over my intubated body. Better check your app, Dr. Charkaoui. Maybe you’re the one who needs to think about how you’re feeling today.
Anyway, I’m getting pretty riled. Maybe I just need a stiff drink.
In other news, recent events have prompted the City of Vancouver to update its recycling guidelines. A new pamphlet will be made available in the coming days. Bloodfreak News has obtained a draft of the new guidelines.
