Fake News NBC ^ | 5/18/21 | Rebecca Shabad and Dareh Gregorian

The legislation, which the Senate overwhelmingly approved last month, will next go to the president for his signature.

The House on Tuesday passed a Senate bill with a 364 to 62 vote to address the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes during the Covid-19 pandemic....

The bill, which Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, introduced in March alongside Rep. Grace Meng, D-N.Y., also directs the attorney general and the Department of Health and Human Services to issue best-practices guidance on how to mitigate racially discriminatory language in describing the pandemic.

This will be an attempt to make it unlawful to say "China Virus".

OK this one is getting weird.

What is the ulterior motive?

Suddenly (VERY suddenly) Asian ‘hate crimes’ were being committed. By the BLM types that are usually ‘most favored’.

Just as suddenly we have legislation.

Where is this going?

A reminder that serious, viable nations don’t pass laws like this. The US in current form is neither.

This is a perfect example of why our national problems cannot be corrected by politics.

Hate is an emotion. It is not a crime. Beating the sh** out of someone is a crime...and it pertains to all...not just Asians.

Pretty obvious they are trying to hang this on Trump supporters. Everybody knows this has been a problem for A LONG TIME. Young black males attacking Asians. But this bill directly links attacks DURING COVID. All their mental gymnastics aside, it is STILL young black males doing the Asian beat downs. Going to backfire.

The ball-less Indian government is BLAMING Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam for their coronavirus spike in cases.

Singapore was not amused. Since Singapore has the same problem the US has with H1B scumbags, seems the Ministry of Manpower there will be cancelling Indian Employment Passes.

It was these H1B scumbags going to third countries (like Mexico and Maldives) with faked negative coronavirus tests that is causing cases all over SE Asia and the UK. SE Asia and the UK will be going into lockdown soon, if not already.

Remember the US was the LAST country to ban flights almost 1 month after other countries did. H1Bs were more important that US citizens…

So if other lockdowns occur, the blame solely lies with India.

My family suffered horribly from anti-German hate when they arrived in 1927. It was really bad. I demand an anti-German Hate Bill.

Or, maybe we need a Continental-Scale anti-hate bill like Asians are getting. How about an Anti-European Hate Bill since we are now in the no-limit season on those with European ancestry and pale skin. There is nothing wrong with pale skin and fair hair.

We are being set up for an invasion from China. It will be racist and hateful to resist.

“ Just as suddenly we have legislation.

Where is this going?”

My first thought was that it is an attempt to get Asians on board the hate-whitey victim train. Turns out, blacks are the Asian-haters. Imagine that!
Second thought was the possibility of an imminent attack by China. It would be a hate crime to resist. The former is more plausible, but I put nothing past those in power today.

Where it’s going is blaming persons of colorlessness for the Knockout Game. And for everything hate-filled or negative done by persons of the non-colorlessness persuasion. And being blamed for existing. And doing everything bad. And for doing good things that made the non-colorless feel bad. And for accomplishing anything to make anyone’s life better, which we all know is a Crime Against the Approved Kinds of Humanity.

White, hetero males are responsible for every ill, disaster, wrong, calamity and problem in the known and unknown universe and the sooner we admit and accept our roles the better.

I’m still waiting for the data to support this “outbreak” of anti-Asian hate crimes (other than race-based polices at colleges & universities that limit the number of admissions) demanding federal action.

I read the bill. All it does is set up grants to states, and reporting requirements for states to report hate crimes to the Feds.

“The better”???

It will never, ever be better.

There is nothing you or anyone can ever do to make things better. There is always an eternal crisis, a class struggle, because that’s what Marxism is, class struggle. There is no destination, only a process. And the process is Hell itself. No relief. No Promised Land. No Desired End State. Only Conflict. Class Struggle. One bunch of people hating the living shit out of another bunch of people, and the Marxist Marionette Manipulators engineering it all. No one, not even the Marxists, is ever happy.

Just ask someone who lived through the Soviet Union. You will get a preview of La Vie Americaine. No God, no Higher Purpose, just Meaningless Materialism. It sucks. Really, really bad.
