The Sissy Generation

Just 70-80 years ago we had what was dubbed “The Greatest Generation” – the people who had fought and won World War II. Now, just a couple of generations down the road, we have unconditionally surrendered to a disease with miniscule mortality (for the vast majority of population), and which is to a large degree treatable. How did that happen?

Roll back to the first months of 2020, when we just learned about the sinister new virus which was killing people and for which we had neither vaccine, nor cure. We were scared – in the 21st century we don't expect to encounter something to which our medicine has no answer. A lot of things about COVID-19 were unknown at the time, but one of the first confirmed pieces of information was that this virus spares children.

What a great news! Whatever calamity befalls us, children are always our main concern. Now, when we know that they are safe, shouldn't we, adults, breathe a big sigh of relief, return to normal life and let the doctors do what they always do: treat the sick, research for cure, work on the vaccine? I can imagine that this would have happened a few decades ago, despite the (incorrect) perception that the mortality rate was maybe small, but still meaningful, a few percentage points. Yet the only developed country that behaved more or less like that was Sweden. The rest of the mankind locked themselves up and essentially stopped living normal lives.

The word that we heard the most during this time was 'safety'. Coming to work is declared unsafe -- sure, we can stop working, no big deal.

If anyone is paying attention to the David portney situation and Business Insider...and the way they are trying to cancel him with a rape story....

He posted a video saying he has blown their story in three days. Going to be interesting to see if business insider gets taken down like gawker.

well worth watching at least some of both:

10 Nov: Bitchute: 19m: IceAgeFarmer: FARMERS ‘LAND CONFISCATED’ FOR ‘CARBON PIPELINE’ THROUGH CORN BELT
Farmers’ land across the midwest is being confiscated to make way for construction of a massive, 1300-mi long Carbon Capture & Sequestration Pipeline. Town halls in hundreds of counties are full of angry farmers, as county officials announce, “There’s not much we can do.” As the world enters a food crisis, plowing under tens of thousands of acres of the best soil in America is complete madness…or is it a flawlessly calculated attack?...

College age men leaving their safe space.

Women put up with anything from males then they live with them without marriage. They don’t discern whether a guy is a good or any kind of a provider why should men not be wimps?

The author lost me at the first sentence. If “The Greatest Generation” was as great as they’re usually portrayed, then the U.S. never would have ended in the toilet just a couple of decades later.

Sure, they were tougher people back then. But they were also meek and compliant, and did whatever their nanny-state government told them to do — just like today.

Kudos to the Freeper who coined the term: “The Statist Generation.”

The word that we heard the most during this time was 'safety'. Coming to work is declared unsafe -- sure, we can stop working, no big deal. Going to school is unsafe -- cheer up, kids, you are staying home today -- and next week, and then month after month after month. Wear your mask everywhere and stay at least 6 feet away (better 20) from everybody. Safety is king!
