Left unsaid in this discussion is that "Not trusting government" is a pretty fucking good starting point.

there are two kinds of people:

those who know history

and those who trust the government.

Expand full comment

Two kinds of people: those who love bacon, and sad people.

Three kinds of people: those who love bacon; those who recoil from bacon; those whose temporary religious derangements made them forswear bacon.

Some people won't try bacon for religious reasons. I won't try religion for bacon reasons.

Expand full comment

I enjoy bacon religiously. It's a Sunday thing.

Expand full comment

I avoid church religiously.

Expand full comment

Never liked religion much myself.

Expand full comment

My religion - somewhere in the NT - says eating bacon is A-ok.

Expand full comment

Excellent, but you passed up the opportunity to coin a new word; "Baconous".

Expand full comment

Baconous! Added to lexicon.

Wait, there's no Sky Daddies?!

Unironically, I will hear no blasphemy against Dyeus Pater.

Who, by the way, heartily approves of bacon.

Expand full comment

No bacon, no trust.

It really is that simple.

Expand full comment

No Bacon, no science...

It really is that methodical!

Expand full comment

That's why we invented ersatz bacon. To prove our essential worthiness.

Expand full comment

As a matter of fact, the same people who love bacon tend to be the ones who earn it!

Expand full comment

Are you old enough to remember the commercial that has the jingle, I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never ever let you forget you're a man? Yowsa!

And it continues “ Cause I’m a woman, W. O. M. A. N, I’ll say it again!” I went to an all girls high school. We loved belting out that song! It was fun

Expand full comment

There is a whole song

Economy (and people) would be in better shape if that were true.

Three kinds of people: those who love bacon; pigs; those who are controlled by the pigs.

Can't wait for warm weather to fire the smoker up. Smells like FREEDOM

Expand full comment

When pigs fly, will it rain bacon?

Warn me when the smoker is fired up!

Expand full comment

If you make them fly with gene therapy are they really pigs at all anymore? Eww, I just imagined a world where bacon is gross. BAD.

There are 10 kinds of people. Those who know binary math and those that don't.

Expand full comment

There's an old Android joke that goes like this :

1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0

Expand full comment

How do we count people who identify as non-binary?

quick:

how high can you count on one hand using binary math?

How about all ten fingers?

When's the next binary calendar date?

Nice! It so happens my yoga teacher studied under Iyengar and went to India several times. She helped me get rid of sciatica in 6 weeks after the allopaths floundered around for a year and a half without improvement, not to mention a clue.

Giving up on those fraudsters was my response, and this was the beginning of my awakening though I didn't know it at the time. I'm still doing yoga daily after 40 years.

Expand full comment

Fabulous! Well done. I hope millions read your comment.

I like bacon but it's the people that don't drink coffee that I don't trust.

Expand full comment

Put me on your danger list.

None of the Karens (formerly) in my life have even changed jerseys. They’re doubling down on having been right about everything, all along, even all those times when being right suddenly meant the opposite of what it meant yesterday.

I guess that means the grassroots lemmings in my life are both dumber and crazier than those who’ve changed jerseys. No surprise I guess: These are the liberal-arts majors and dropouts who in March 2020 suddenly knew more about science and medicine than experienced scientists and providers, and weren’t bashful about telling me so.

As Michael Moore said of pro-lifers, ‘I can’t share the country with people like that ... and I’m not going anywhere.’ Forgiveness is way premature, at least in my personal setting.

@Jack- my brother has a Masters in Nursing and is a lemming. I have a friend whose son who is a dr at the CDC. She claims she only went on his advice, no one else's. Sorry, Mommy. Your kid was lied to, too.

ahh, bacon, the duc tape of food.

I know sad people that love bacon, bacon cheers them up.

I'll go with chocolate.

Did anyone ever do chocolate covered bacon?

Yes. Expensive but amazing

I haven’t tired but I see it a lot on the cooking shows. It is generally well received.

Your English algorithm has been improved slightly, but no human native speaker of English speaks like that. Nice try.

Expand full comment

A third kind too, unfortunately. They know history but believe it doesn't repeat.

Expand full comment

And interestingly Scott Adams is one of those. Even if it doesn't exactly repeat it sure rhymes a lot.

Expand full comment

Scott Adams is a huge disappointment. He went from 'must watch' to 'can't watch' 3 years ago. He ignored all his own teachings and drank the kool-aid. Now he is flailing about for relevancy.

A timely warning of what spending too many years in an office cubicle (or even drawing them) can do to your critical faculties.

Hugely disappointing, and one wonders what Dilbert would make of it.

Expand full comment

Has anyone tried to kill most of the people on the planet before?

Expand full comment

Well, our leftist friends had quite a go of it in the last century, slaughtering well over 100 million, mostly confined to the countries they infested, so arguably not.

On the other hand, the Soviet "international socialists" always dreamed of making the entire planet communist, and of course, the German "national socialists" also had grandiose territorial ambitions, so one can only imagine the horrors they would have unleashed had they succeeded.

Regardless of which side of the argument one comes down on, perhaps most would agree that socialists in general, regardless of which flavor, are murderous barbarians that should be abhorred and shunned by any civilized society.

The fact that their poisonous ideology has been allowed to take hold and fester in the Western world is the source of most of what ails us, and will be our undoing should it not be arrested.

Expand full comment

A good portion of the world might consider the Western world as the source of most of what ails them.

John they're looking to create a dead-end for the virus by eliminating the host.

I still remember the propagandist Rachel Maddow saying the virus stops in the vaccinated. You have to admit, she's a pro!

Stops humans dead in their tracks...er...viruses

Simple solution.

No. They never tried it until the very first second they had the technology to do it clandestinely.

Genghis Khan made a good stab at it.

They have killed enough in the "actually knows how to do shit" demographic range to trigger another Bronze Age collapse class event. Let that sink in in the following years.

Yeah, I've noticed, believe me.

I agree, there are two kinds of people. But they are those who agree with me, and those who are wrong! Snicker, snicker...

That must be why I never fell for it. I know my history!

Expand full comment

In my opinion, the government almost always is the entity that starts crises rather than solves them. This is near universal.

Yes there was actual data for us to look at is well, which we all did.

It was always completely rational to say, hey I think I’m going to wait and see how effective the prototypical vaccines really are.

Expand full comment

Exactly. There was never any data at any time that suggested I needed the jab -- and that's why they pushed so hard on the "DO IT FOR OTHERS", even while knowing the jab didn't stop transmission and the virus would run through the population no matter how many people got stuck.

Expand full comment

I knew it was a con when the propaganda started. Such a huge tell.

the more ads the less the product is worth. Goes for everything. Beauty products, meds, cleaning stuff, everything.

Right, you don’t need to coerce people to take a good, useful product.

"No one ever heard of the truth being enforced by law. Whenever the secular arm is called in to sustain an idea, whether new or old, it is always a bad idea, and not infrequently it is downright idiotic."

Expand full comment

Right, it was THE most obvious con of all time. From miles and miles away.

I'm still shocked at the number of people who don't see that.

Expand full comment

Yeah, I can’t tell you how many articles I read about healthy young unvaccinated parents dying, relegating their kids orphans. I can go on for a day. Just disgusting, and obvious the entire time.

Expand full comment

That right there is the truest thing ever said about this. And it's important. There is supposed to be a deception coming that is nearly impossible to see through. This is setting up for that.

Expand full comment

Easy rule: if the government or any large corporation is telling you something, it is probably both (a) false and (b) designed to increase _their_ power and profit at _your_ expense.

Expand full comment

Yes! I was suspicious of the vaxxes initially, because duh--we've never had brand-new medical tech tested and ready to go (on healthy people) in 6 months, but when they started the mega-push propaganda from all corners and then the forced vaxxing? That's when I knew for sure they were dangerous.

"I tried. You sent me back a picture of a tinfoil hat."

Expand full comment

And the irony is that the one way you really could hurt others was to normalize coerced jabs by encouraging and giving in to receiving these shots. It was definite the shots would injure and kill some people; it was a lottery about who it would be. And so many people were perfectly okay with that.

Expand full comment

I was most scared of the govt mandating everyone to jab. Going house to house with it. Then it dawned on me that because of the instability, they could not do that. Sigh. First the scare of the so-called life threatening illness, which turned out to be about as dangerous as a light flu, and then the bigger scare for an unreliable govt.

Expand full comment

At one stage, about 2 years ago, I did wonder if it would come to that. It depressed me, but did not sway me at all .. I had already decided I would be willing to loose everything, willing even to have been shot in the town square. Interestingly once I came to that acceptance, the more pressure they applied the more defiant I felt

Expand full comment

Same here, the more pressure they applied, the more defiant I became.

Expand full comment

Oh dear, I'm one of you. The harder they pushed, the more I dug my heels in. I would've gone to jail before submitting to the jab, and yes, I would've faced a firing squad to keep that poison away from my kids.

Expand full comment

I’m shocked at the parents who thought it was a good idea to jab their infants.

Expand full comment

You should not just go calmly to the firing squad. You should shoot back.

Expand full comment

for a while I have been looking into Mexico and Middle America, and renewed my passport. There is a large Mexican family living in the neighborhood and I thought, if they flee, so am I. They did not, and just went on business as usual. But if worst came to worst, I would have loaded my car and gone!

Expand full comment

You and JeffDavid, I love you people and am with you. I really believe it was this type of courage in those who had it that kept things from growing as dark as those in power wanted it to be. They got away with a lot, but not as much as they wanted!

Expand full comment

Yup, this is why we have the 2nd Amendment.

Expand full comment

There is a powerful serenity in a principled decision.

Expand full comment

You should buy a gun. Don't go down without a fight. When they know you can shoot back, they are much less likely to violate your basic human rights.

Expand full comment

Yeah, that was jarring for me as well. That was the worst of it for me because there was no way I was going to take it. And we all saw what was happening in places like Australia and elsewhere and wondering wtf. We all read and heard what they were saying. I recall at one point a poll came out reflecting that about 50 percent of dem voters thought children should be forcibly separated from their unvaccinated parents. I’ll never forget that.

Expand full comment

That's what made my head melt - the threats of coerced vaccination and our kids being taken away. They even had information going out to teachers (Scotland) about how to spot extremism - being anti-vax was listed as a form of extremism. Being labelled an 'extremist' would no doubt trigger social services and an investigation into your parenting. Even now, my stomach knots when other jabs are promoted at the school - flu, hpv, etc.

Expand full comment

I hear you. In U.S., Homeland Security put out a flyer linking domestic terrorists with opposition to Covid policies. I still can’t believe this stuff happened, it truly blows my mind.

Proving that they are the terrorists!

Never let them forget. Serial abusers shouldn’t have positions of power.

Absolutely! NEVER forget, and NEVER EVER trust anyone who even vaguely insinuates that they would support such an odious and extremely totalitarian position in the slightest!

Expand full comment

Never forgive them for the murder of children. Some like this clown got a bit of almost-instant karma. True believer or not, good riddance.

I bought a gun for the first time in my life for exactly that reason.

If anyone tries to physically force an injection into me, I will shoot them. Everyone should shoot back when threatened with forced injections. This is truly why we have the 2nd Amendment.

The idea of buying a gun came to me when I watched an old black man in a video say exactly that: "If you come to my house with a needle and try to inject me, I will shoot you." Black people remember Tuskegee and other evidence that the medical establishment cannot be trusted at all. Ever.

Expand full comment

I can very well understand that. I also read the stories of Tuskegee, and living in ab majority black community, it felt good to be part of the majority, less than 50 % is jabbed here. The black population masks up easier though, it seems. But at least I was far from alone to refuse the needle.

Same here. Never gave a darn about guns, until this crap

Another big reason why they couldn't do it: the second amendment.
