It’s just the flu, bro.
How do the Coronavirus mask mandates and lockdowns compare to the great global delusions of the 20th century? We have the following great delusions: 1.Eugenics from the 1920s-40s which was embraced by the sophisticated scientists of the time 2.Socialism - although Bismarck started it in the 19th century, Americans only really embraced it under FDR and LBJ 3.90% marginal tax rates in the 50s 4.overpopulation- Paul Ehrlich in the 1970s built on Malthus’ work from the 18th century. Some would include the delusion that abortion is good as a subset of this 5.global warming 6.communism - Never really gripped the USA but it did grip the Soviets and the Chinese 7.masks and lockdowns for this stupid Coronavirus 8.sexual revolution - didnt this lead to abortion?
I pick overpopulation as the worst as it holds the mindset of a “fixed pie” that inspires many of the other delusions. The Coronavirus rules are dumb but don’t compare, yet, to the other delusions. It could be the precursor to “medical Marxism” and it weakens the free spirit of the population so it can definitely rise in the rankings over the next few decades.
What is that supposed to mean?
As stated the other day....
...we’ve lost NORTH Las Vegas, then.
