    Amen. If they had a case, you'd never know about it.

    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      No worries. If there's one thing China has plenty of it's Chinese people.

        If only the government managed every detail of everyone's life.

        We would be so happy.

            It's a little odd to have a "pool party" where the pool is in the middle of a throng of 10000 people, none of whom are using the pool.

              No domestic transfer cases since May.

              They did a lockdown that we can't even imagine and implemented tracing that we couldn't pull off, but now they can have nice things.

              Japan cases are rising, the population still doesn't care. It may be the case that the american left, or maybe the western european left in general, has embraced the most pussified set of group-think ideas in the history of cultures embracing group-think ideas.

                They have fewer than 1000 cases a day. Tokyo has about as many new daily cases as NYC. Which has also opened its schools, cultural institutions and even gyms.

                    My point was not about societies doing the inevitable, it was about the whining. I asked our exchange student about that specifically. She was not aware of a large number of whiners.

                      The Japanese don't do a lot of things that Westerners do. Parading around with guns, rioting about police brutality, and screaming that masks are an attack on their civil liberties, to pick some examples.

                      I was only joking

                        I wonder if this idea that the American left has embraced the most pussified set of group-think ideas in the history of cultures embracing group-think ideas, has any legs. I think maybe it does. I'm going to start thinking in those terms. It may be pure pseudo-intellectual gold.

                          It fits interestingly with another of my pet theories, that American culture has tried harder than any other human culture in history, not to be racist. To the point that we've totally fetishized the concept of not being racist and turned it into the easiest, laziest, least meaningful virtue signal in the history of virtue signals.

                          man, these superlatives about human history are just rolling off my tongue today.

                            That may or may not be the case. However, ask anyone who has spent time in Japan or China and ask them their impressions on whether those cultures are racist.

                            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                              I agree that Asians tend to be racist. I suspect there is something in their genetics that predisposes them to it. It’s very sad because I believe that racism is wrong.
