Reporting in from the national hotspot of suburban Cleveland. Despite being a nominally liberal area, I am seeing really low mask usage in crowded stores and restaurants. I don't walk into town without my N95 on, and it just makes me want to scream at them "does 800,000 dead Americans mean nothing to you?". This area is like a twisted meeting of the Maga and the lib brunch crowds, so I see little reason to hope...

Dude within like 3 days most libs started saying it's just a cold and I'm like... wait where have we heard this one before guys! It happened within days, that's how loving powerful brain worms are apparently. I'm dumb too but somehow the whole "don't die" thing is very strong within me and also have a small issue with people saying "those people can just die" and that's somehow, that's somehow just okay too now to say outloud.

Shear Modulus posted:i was going to ask if you were seriously asking this because how could anyone still be unconvinced after two years that americans will be shoveled into the coal furnace indefinitely to keep the train of The Economy running but then i saw it was cato wife guy and i was like oh yeah lol that makes sensesense lol fair. It really just doesn’t make sense to me. America has been willing to endure the equivalent of Axis losses at Stalingrad or both sides combined at Verdun for… what? I don’t understand a society that shuns collective sacrifice but then, as you said, is willing to do all this for Applebees. You could ask a Poilu why he was holding on to his shellhole in Verdun. Whatever you believe about it, there was a feeling that the French Third Republic warranted the cost in human life. Trading lives for meters of French soil - even at an appalling rate - had a logic to the people ordering the sacrifice, those taking part in it, and those at home. The morale of the French Army and public was resolute, even at the height of the fighting at Verdun, and only started to buckle in 1917 when asked to make costly and unsuccessful attacks after being promised decisive victory by Nivelle. In short - no price is too high for the right cause, but the same sacrifices can’t be asked to achieve nothing. If people feel ably led, they’ll go into the maelstrom, if they don’t, they’ll stay in their trench. So - what about the economy is worth 800k American lives? Not just to those demanding it, but to those dying for it and others watching. When you see those kind of losses, you have to ask why. It’s easy enough to see why those who benefit the most are content to demand others die to uphold the social order, but I’m struggling to see what the economy offers the people being told to go boldly forth. What do they think they’re dying for?

They're dying for exactly the same things the soldiers in WW1 were dying for. Not one step back. They can't retreat, they can't acquiesce to defeat, they can't hide. They have to get out and live their lives, for pride, for honor, because not doing these things is psychologically unacceptable.

Frosted Flake posted:lol fair. because it's not "enduring" if you're not seeing bodies dropping next to you. the trauma is filtered through so much media (in the dictionary definition sense) that by the time it reaches you, if ever, it's depersonalized to such a degree that it may as well be a fiction novel you're reading. americans in general, as a whole, are so alienated and divorced socially, emotionally and economically from the actual economic forces that there's actually not really a question even as to how, let alone why. to the point that almost everyone automatically thinks of social costs in terms of economic ones. it is the bread we paid for, consume, and entwine with anything resembling a social identity. Just cannibalize, absorb, and move on. grandma can suffocate in her own phlegm if it means my 401k keeps earning. And so on.

I tried to explain quantitative easing to my friend with an MBA a few years back, and she just got more and more upset. Finally, she found an article from Reuters on her phone and started loudly reciting some chud journalist's explanation that propping up the stock market with printed money is good. Much easier to just tell people "your life is a lie" and let them cope than continue the lying - but if your world exists inside the bubble of Capital, it's easier to continue living in fantasyland than assessing reality

Zisky posted:China will shut down whole cities and weld people into their apartments but cancel an international prestige event? Not gonna happen. the chinese govt is unlikely to cancel imho, its a good way for the chinese govt to thumb their noses at everyone else who abandoned or never contemplated zero covid policies. they've been touting their closed-loop system for winter olympics since october https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/32484469/beijing-creates-closed-loop-winter-olympics-isolating-participants-public . the unofficial mouthpiece for the cpc global times has even detailed the workings of the closed-loop system. publication date is dec 16th so omicron is accounted for. they have already done test events to work out potential kinks in the closed-loop system. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202112/1241611.shtml quote:Thousands of athletes and support staff have already arrived in Beijing from overseas and experienced Beijing's closed-loop management during the test event phase. tldr the winter olympic venue is raccoon city, they will try their best to prevent outbreaks from happening there but they'll be lobbing multiple nukes at raccoon city if there is even a hint of the virus spreading outside it also chinese cities dont get locked down for no good reason post wuhan. u may have heard of xi'an getting locked down due to a measly few hundred cases (total) https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/24/chinese-officials-face-punishment-over-covid-lockdown-in-xian https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/china-lockdown-xi-an-1.6296105 but its because they can't establish a clear transmission chain and community transmission was occurring can't find detailed english writeups on the xian outbreak so if u click my linked sources ur gonna have to rely on google translate source of xian outbreak has been traced to a flight from pakistan http://www.takungpao.com/news/232108/2021/1221/668754.html although first detection was actually from passengers on a flight from xian (shaanxi) to dongguan (guangdong) http://news.youth.cn/jsxw/202112/t20211224_13364736.htm its almost quaint reading the reporting where the who, where, when and how of the virus spread is laid out so clearly. reading comments on weibo and other chinese social media, the general sentiment i get is: the most massive fuckup is that the transmission chain from the infected passengers to local cases remains unclear. due to this and also evidence of community transmission, the entire city of xian has to go into lockdown. there have been outbreaks in other regions with similarly high initial case counts that did not result in total lockdown another fuckup was letting a couple who took a covid test in xian (shaanxi) drive down to shenqiu (henan) without waiting for the results that confirmed they were positive. people were maaaaaad at these fuckers lots of debate on where the responsibility for not locking down the city earlier lies. there was an attempt to lockdown the city earlier, barriers etc were in place but it was aborted just mere hours later. the 2nd attempt at lockdown only began in earnest when cases were rising to almost a hundred a day. some said the under-resourced xian have always been lax in controlling covid. some blamed it on anti-lockdown folks who don't want their lives and businesses disrupted. some are blaming some unspecified higher-ups who blocked the 1st lockdown attempt out of concern for the ~economy~ https://twitter.com/SecondRingSZN/status/1473543564730769408

literally the only bodies dropping in the stalingrad analogy would be nurses and healthcare workers, seeing people burn out, or worse, get sick and even die trying to manage and maintain the status quo. there's absolutely no question in my mind that if you want to make a war analogy, it would be in ERs and ICUs. But the incredibly sad part is that nobody loving gives a poo poo because none of that is displayed because it would upset number, and number is index of happiness.
