What the Lockdown Leviathans Don’t Get
American Greatness ^ | December 24, 2020 | Tal Bachman

....Don’t like it? Don’t worry, said the experts: If you’re feeling a mite lonely after nine months of house arrest in Papillon-like solitary confinement, just throw a rollicking Christmas “social” event in which you stare, all alone, at a computer screen on a Zoom call, as the most ruthless, repressive, imperialist regime on earth monitors everything you say, and then instantly disables your account if you dare to criticize it. (Soon, no doubt, it won’t only be the Chinese government doing the monitoring and disabling, but our own—supposing it hasn’t merged with the CCP by then).

House arrest for nine months, careers and dreams imploding all around you, relieved only by the odd Zoom call, isn’t exactly my idea of fun—or anyone else’s. Yet you’d never guess that listening to anyone with political power this year (aside from the few remaining non-useless Republicans).

For months, these strange, power-mad robots have evinced zero indication they have any clue what it might feel like to be an actual human (with mouths to feed) suddenly placed under house arrest, forbidden from earning a living, stopped from pursuing activities which support his sense of identity, cut off from most (or all) social contact, fed reams of misinformation he knows is misinformation, and severed from a huge source of meaning in human life—namely, culture.

I’m not here arguing against the measures themselves (I will some other time). I am pointing out the inhuman indifference shown by the Lockdown Leviathans to the psychological, emotional, spiritual, and familial costs those measures have imposed, and continue to impose, upon their suffering subjects.

There is simply no sign they care....

The lockdown makes it much easier to round up the deplorables to take to the Truth & Reconciliation Camps or simply to kill them (with drones?) outright. Expect some mass murder by Uncle Sam at the behest of the CCP later, if not sooner.

IF Biden is sworn in we can expect a lot of CCP approved actions.

Qballs are without exception some of the most gullible fools I’ve ever seen in my life.

Who are we trusting this week?

Show them truth, and they’ll accept it.

When confronted with two opposing ‘Truths’ most people will accept the scary truth.

Fear is a great motivator. Sociologist will tell you it is a survival mechanism.

But then, some of the people that believe the COVID scam live next to volcanos because they love the beauty of nature.

Sounds like the writer lives in a complete liberal sh*thole. He should consider moving or go punch his local, loudmouth government official in the mouth. If he can’t do either of those, he can go suck sewer water.

A local mayor nearby suggested lockdown restrictions. Didn’t go over well, and he’s now in hiding, refusing to show up for city council meetings.

Oh most certainly, when you aren’t seeing the Sun or at least someone close, you don’t tend to think clearly. I have had clinical depression to deal with, and honestly when I hear people go so crazy about no one visiting, I will shake my head, because visiting someone one on one is less risky than packing your house full of people from all over the place for a house party.

That makes sense to me, but no gathering I’ve been to so far has had more than 10 people, as far as I could tell. (I’ve actually counted, although I wouldn’t actually care if there were more.) So I’m sure Fauxci and Lockdown Larry will be happy.

I have been visiting other households all through this entire situation. Not a house party, as there’s just more likelihood that someone who is sick will go there from the greater number of people going.
