it’s bad enough watching cut rate comandantes like andy cuomo dissemble about how the very mandates they tried to hide from the justice department for fear of looking bad or getting prosecuted were proven right.
but watching the rubes in the audience rise in stalinesque applause because the big man has deigned to grant them their own allegedly inalienable liberties again is enough to really drive a gato to despair.
they learned nothing apart from how to collaborate with authoritarians and to like it because it gave them power.
these are the people who will be in vanguard the next time this gang of villains comes for us, the gleeful brownshirts of the fascist movement.
remember who they were. you’ll be seeing them again. no one does this once without getting a taste for it.
The left has a history of embracing fascism. That is where collectivism inevitably goes. Collectivist cultures invite hall monitors. That's how you get ahead/power, and us humans want power. Some more than others.
el gato: do you think it's solely power for powers sake? that health official for Dutchess County, NY is consciously, or sub-consciously thinking "let's see what we can get away with"?
I read the 'regulations' of the Howard Co MD health dept was specifying how to safely sing in church. All sorts of specificity that didn't make sense.
Is this solely just small people, who can now wield power, so they're gonna? Or rather the overly organized type who like to organize functions, well meaning, but fucking things up 'for the peoples own good'
i fear that the highest aspiration of about 30% of america is to be a hall monitor and that people will gleefully forfeit their own liberties if it gives them just a little petty power to wield over others. (and maybe a sash to wear)
I unfortunately feel that the representation of these folks is a fair bit higher than 30% but maybe I am just feeling so beaten up by all of this. My question is what do we do to make sure this never ever happens again, Gato?
hall monitor? pederast teachers phillandering on third graders in the playground, abetted by the oligarchy/media is driving a reduction in the social contract....
Gato, why do you think the US seems to be moving on much faster than Europe? Israel also seems to be moving on. Meanwhile in the EU the powers that be just ratified Covid passports, with the possibility of internal uses, the UK has quarantine facilities in airports, and here in Portugal the government in dangling the possibility of reversing lockdown easing in Lisbon.
i suspect that biden and newsom and cuomo would all love to act as many in the EU are. they simply cannot because places like florida and texas and the rest of the red state provide too obvious a counterpoint.

NJ and NY have the highest death rates from Covid in the US, and some of the highest in the world. If that is success, what does failure look like?

The bootlicking has been off the charts. A few weeks of cheerful non-compliance would have seen the cretinous Cuomo backing down.

I just have to hope that the CCP bots are out in force today. If these are Americans we're fucked.

federalism.

Newsome will be the net "hero"- so inept are they.
