That's heartbreaking. I still worry about the parents of everyone here. Please know you are all in my prayers.

Please, I'll admit to my personal authoritarian tendencies but that isn't quite the same as fascism. Besides, democracy is preferable. I'm most of all venting over the fact that the politicians aren't cracking down hard on this BS.Dilbert_X wrote:

I am finding myself becoming rather furious about the increasing whining over vaccination now that multiple governments are considering that one needs a proof of vaccination before attending public venues. That this would infringe on medical privacy rights, or create a discriminatory government and society! After all, non-vaccination is a but a choice that should be respected! I even saw someone compare it to the persecution of jews, your non-vaccination akin to a star of david.
Fuck this mentally defective subset of the population. I'm so through with all the bullshit artists who use the pandemic as a time to stand on a soapbox and pronounce the end of civil society because any attempt to control the virus spread 'infringes' on their rights and feelings, and their feelings about what their rights are. It's also darwinism at work: when finally a suitable medical solution presents itself, the stupids have been so thoroughly inundated with anti-vax nonsense found via google and social media they no longer dare to accept that extended hand of help. But then to still have the gall to complain that society shouldn't limit you from doing anything!
What the fuck does the word 'pandemic' even mean to these people? If you want to be a walking, breathing contamination hazard please exercise that misguided revolutionary spirit in the privacy of your own home and don't goddamn well endanger anyone else. Lunatics.
Socialism doesn't mean the government dictating what everyone does.

dilbert: alcohol is mostly harmless, it doesn't kill millions of people a year. who cares if it's technically addictive??Dilbert_X wrote:
Its more Larssen's authoritarian ranting, and lockdowns don't kill people, being forcibly injected with a vaccine can.

I know the differences between Europeans.uziq wrote:
cam-poe was a ginger irishman. i'm a blonde englishman. do you have any idea how much enmity there has been between our peoples? lmao.
i know you're just playing up the NJ stay-at-home thing, but nations in europe do have distinct identities, you know.

Is there still a lot of enmity between the English and Irish? I know you took their language, land, nationhood, and future from them but are they still that upset?
I would have to look into this further and can't give you my thoughts about it now. I do know it sounds a lot like what people said about the Maronites and that turned about to be fake news. The Maronites did nothing wrong after all.uziq wrote:
many irish people are still very pissed at england. the troubles and violence in northern ireland were your parent's generation. 1970s and 80s. your favourite peaceful religion was bombing hotels and shopping centres within colour-tv memory. irish republicanism has never gone away and there's still a big political base for it.

It's a political move for sure. Closing businesses makes people unhappy, so instead they set a curfew.uziq wrote:
we've been in lockdown for 2 weeks, which appears to be working. what wasn't working was arbitrary closing times on pubs and restaurants and other high-risk venues. it's a stupid economic compromise that has no epidemiological sense whatsoever. covid doesn't clock in for the evening at 10pm.
