LimpKitten, care to explain why we don't always lock ourselves inside and avoid human contact in order to save human lives? Surely we would save lives if we all just stopped seeing eachother face to face.

Because surrendering the world to avoid a small amount of influenza death is not worthwhile. Notice that I am calling for active measures that would reduce the necessity of lockdowns -- not lockdowns.

This pandemic, whose origin is inconclusive, is proof that we must adjust our way of life and sanitary practices to cope with our vulnerability to infectious disease. Larger, more interconnected world. Larger pool from which to conjure up new contagions. Which can and will be engineered and spread by state actors for geopolitical ends, too. Demanding that we install toilets and running water in every building is not surrendering the world and human contact; it is demanding a higher standard of hygiene from our civilization than that in Brazil. The fact is, I take a militarist position on this virus, which offers a rather low-impact drill for dealing with biological hazard, and I argue with each of you do-nothing defeatists from the right. Our laziness in the confrontation of this issue will cost us many lives in the next one, you know. We should have developed the protocols to kill the thing within our territory. We should be able to achieve the same feats the Chinese achieve, then be better than them by de-escalating to a freer posture after beating the threat. But for you, it is too much work. Because it will impact the quarterly profits of the institutions which pay the people from whom you get your political "philosophy".

What? This makes no sense. We could just make cigarettes illegal but we don't. We allow people to take risks. This is a completely incoherent comparison on so many levels.

And what is the "grocery store economy that thrives on tobacco sale"?? Grocery stores thrive on the sale of groceries. What are you talking about?

Argument from ignorance is about all they've got. Because taking any precautions means admitting they are wrong to take the hardline of completely ignoring the effects of this deadly virus.

Take this slimeball above me

Well, im not as mad about it as I used to be, if Ii catch covid in the next 9 months I will be god dammit but whatever, there aint nothing we can do about it now.

If you are mad at least you can revel in the thought that the election was lost because of that same 97% messaging.

Yall do know all the president does is veto a bill or sign it, right? Executive Orders are not common, except for under Bush II. Trump put his prized position of worldly power (that he received from Satan) and made the Chinese Bat Virus a joke. His attorney was IN ON 9/11. These people are all cultists that received their money and power from Satan. You should focus on number 1, your loved ones, and God, and nothing more.

Thank you Lord, that's exactly what I plan to do.

Obama used them extensively too. They're a feature of life now.

lol you know what's funny? ratio of these boards:

40% right
10% left
50% actually in the middle.

but the 50% that are in the middle get called the 10% that are far left by the other 40% if you dont believe everything that trump has said lmao

Love the constant conflation of being against lockdowns with being against masks. One of us makes a very straightforward point: "How is destroying the livlihoods of hundreds of thousands of business owners, who depend on their business to feed their families, justified by the relatively minor threat posed by a disease that is marginally worse than a bad flu season?"

And the response is: "Look wearing masks isn't that hard".

No shit, you still haven't answered the first question, because you can't, because it makes no god damned sense.
