remember that time Candice Owens praised Hitler for his nationalism (but he erred on wanting things outside that. oops)

I'm sure she has some fantastic thoughts on how to proceed with public health policy

poor people in India literally wall off their villages and threaten outsiders with sharpened sticks because they don't want corona

poor people in america threaten (also poor) grocery store workers with violence because they are wearing a mask

This has not been my actual experience, I see everyone wearing masks everywhere there's other people and people being supportive and compliant. There's all sorts of stories of quiet heroism and respect that, in a normal functioning government, we'd be hearing about every day; like how Cuomo read that letter about the dude who donated a mask. Instead, we hear about a few lovely, lovely assholes that are being shoved into prominence because the only move Trump has, and thus the only move the right wing has, is to make everything into a culture war and start fights.

Most people don't do it, even if they vote republican. Even if they support Trump. But the people who do we hear about.

The government already explicitly has the power to do stuff like this under multiple laws.

fun fact, the only reason we have starlings in the US is because some idiot in the 1700s wanted the US to have every bird mentioned in Shakespeare to live here, so he imported like a dozen.

it rules how reactionaries already have their narrative and it's basically air tight; despite photos of mass graves being dug, they're just saying that liberal governments are running up the death tallies and that the corona deaths are actually way way lower. i can't think of any effective way to counter it with information, so it's just going to have to be an endless process of reopening "safely" and then mass deaths

just ask them if they'd write DNR on their chest if they ever need to get treated for "the flu" at the local hospital. if they think the deaths are fake then they have no worry about needing to get resuscitated

the problem with rural spread that's going to kick off now isn't just that proximity to major population centers is considerably lessened as a safety factor by the fact that they all have to go to the same couple stores to shop or eat out, it's also that they have zero loving hospitals because rural hospitals aren't profitable

just pretending it's not happening in the official records is already the go-to

iirc the "official" death toll from Maria is still in the single digits because they only counted people directly killed by the wind of the hurricane

we're gonna have ~80k deaths total and a spike of like 2 million in excess mortality even factoring in the fewer car accidents

it's so funny, it's just right out in the open. it's the freedom to force your racial/class inferiors to wait on your flabby white rear end

paint my nails, slave. clean my house. cook my meals. raise my kids for me. we have a whole country based on having a permanent underclass to serve the elite, fight their resource wars, and maintain their grifts and businesses, except that fact must be obfuscated by everyone technically having the freedom to do it, too, if you can be psycho enough to break into the oligarch club. crabs in a bucket struggling to climb out and be the cook. it's sick.

Fun fact, Gauguin likely cut Van Gogh's ear off and then told everyone he did it to himself. Original police reports had Van Gogh accuse Gauguin of cutting it off with a sword after one of their frequent arguments.

Imagine owning someone so hard it echos down through history and becomes the only thing people know of that person.

I’ve said this before but neighbors that like never went out or did anything but be retired before this are making it a point to have friends over and go out all the time and are posting proudly about it on next door. a pickup with trump flags was going around the neighborhood honking today
