It’s just the flu, bro.
We had a Flubro suspension for ad hominem attacks yesterday so Jim is serious about eliminating it.

Somehow the Australian Coronavirus debate shows up a lot on my twitter feed. In spite of the lack of deaths there, there is massive opposition to anyone who won’t wear a mask. If any of our Flubro comments showed up in Australia twitter you can be sure they would be massively “ratioed”.
The key thing in some of these foreign lands, as it relates to masks and social distancing, is some sort of concept of shared and collective responsibility toward each other - any talk of freedom and liberty gets shot down as a stupid American value. I am glad that I became American this year and don’t have to put up with as much of that nonsense. In the foreign land that I came from the wait for an MRI was 1 year or more. But for a dog the wait was only a day because the system was private and not socialized. Anyone in this system just viewed the 1 year wait for humans as a “shared sacrifice” for the “communal good”. Any criticism of this system was immediately attacked because this 1 year wait almost seemed like a source of pride. Where will John Galt go if these favorable opinions of communal responsibility and shared sacrifice continue to rise in the USA?
That tactic failed, but please continue.
“But I will forgo weddings and funerals and mass until I can do it without a mask.”
I just quit my hand quilting and sewing groups because the Community Center now is requiring masks. Maybe things will improve and we’ll be free again.
I kind of miss your family photo. It was cute.
Very generous.
I assume there will be a miraculous change right after the election. Schools will try to be closed this coming semester and all will want to be open next semester.
The date and day count for the thread I mess up quite frequently.
Very sad. Everybody is so isolated and alienated...I guess that’s how they want us to be, since private associations are the enemy of state control. One of the first things the Communists did when taking over in Russia was to ban or take over things like local choruses, sports clubs, etc. I believe Hitler did the same in Germany.
This mask stuff is an easy way of achieving it. Not only will resisting people simply stop going (as I have done with some places) but even those who go will be hampered in talking with each other or doing such dissident things as smiling...in other words, making human connections, a true threat to Holy Mother the State.
