if the lockdowns aren't real then why has every conservative i know been complaining about them for 2 years?

this is the easiest question in the world: because they were obviously horseshit that did nothing about covid while at the same time inconveniencing a lot of people and disrupting their lives

COVID lockdowns are a lot like gun control. No matter how many people die needlessly it will never happen but conservatives are absolutely sure it's happening anyways.

So I wasn't paying attention it looks like the Indians are protesting against Modi's new reform again? Train burning and poo poo.

This time the (military enlisting) reform does not target an ethnic minority.

No the point is that "lockdowns" in the US were half-assed so that they weren't very effective and essentially didn't exist for a lot of people, while still being enough of an inconvenience that plenty of people whipped themselves up into a white hot rage about it

❗Alexei Navalny reportedly received an award from the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

The Foundation is an American anti-communist "nonprofit" organization formed in 1993 by an act of the US Congress to "provide Americans with educational information about the ideology, history, and legacy of communism."

The founders of the fund are Zbigniew Brzezinski, one of the leading ideologues of US foreign policy (at one time) of Polish origin, and Lev Eugene Dobriansky, an American historian, and part-time Ukrainian nationalist. Its reported that he also headed the American anti-communist "National Committee of Enslaved Nations" and led the unification of former members of the Nazi SS division "Galicia".

taiwan, meanwhile, has far exceeded that peak despite having fewer people than the city of shanghai and less than 2 percent of the mainland's population. daily deaths are higher than the shanghai outbreak's cumulative total. weird how we're seeing zero reporting about that!

The thing is, ultimately the "You can't contain COVID forever people!" are probably right but right in the same way that you will never get the piss smell out of the apartment when your roommate keeps pissing on the floor like a poorly trained dog.

it is incredible how the west has decided to coordinate with basically all other capitalist nations to somehow someway strongarm them into dealing with covid in the worst possible way. it was scary in early '21 when europe went from taking covid somewhat seriously and hemming and hawing on restrictions to just full idiotic covid is over open biden, in lockstep, basically all at the same time.

mass death and disability, accelerating economic and social decline, needlessly stressing healthcare systems to uhhhhhh spite china?

It's not incredible. The current blend of capitalism gave up the long term planning/long term profit part of the state functions after the cold war.

Basically slimming down NASA and hand the engineers to SpaceX to make nothing but the cheapest and slowest (i.e. non-military) rocket possible; Trump cutting down the CDC budget; FAA handing out the certification to the airlines to do it themselves. All that stuff.
