I've said the same thing before.
Humans wouldn't be able to handle being stuck home without technology to let us socialize with each other.
If this happened in the 90s, the only contact with the world would be making calls on the corded phones.
No way in hell Americans would've complied either.
In the 90s, liberals were like "fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!".
Rage Against The Machine turned into Rage WITH The Machine!
Hell, Liberals in the early 2000s were against the World Trade Order, corporate greed, the establishment, ect.
Nowadays, liberals are like "RESIST! Resist corporate greed and the system!".
All while the largest corporations in earth, and powers that be are the ones egging them on.
In other words, the people liberals used to be enemies to have embraced the liberals, and taken over all of their once truly grassroots movements.
There wouldn't have been lockdowns if it were 2003, you know, when SARS spread. COVID is just like any other virus that has spread throughout the world in the past few decades, the only major difference is the 99% negative news coverage which was clearly intended to make Donald Trump lose election and crash the great American economy
yep; first virus i know of to have it's own p.r. team and marketing dept.
Crazy, isn't it? I refuse to contribute to this nonsense any longer. I stopped wearing a mask entirely despite our local mask mandate. I only wear it at work because... well I need to feed my family. But otherwise I think the masks are more harmful than good... because they contribute to the mass hysteria. I will not engage in the lie that COVID is uniquely deadly, or something healthy people need to be concerned about. Because it's not
Stop wearing it at work then.
Match my salary for a year and I'll do it
Don’t forget this was a GloboHomo plan to force their Great Reset. We’ve been focused on the Trump Train Heist. They are fucking the global population with this.
Absolutely. And they have the nerve to claim that COVID proved capitalism fails... as if it were the market that failed, and not the largest government interference in the marketplace ever seen across the world
What really failed was their fractional reserve lending and the quadrillions $$$ in future contracts, fiat ponzi scheme.
You also were allowed to say SARs came from China without anyone getting their feelings hurt or acting offended.
Swine Flu had a much higher death rate for children. MUCH higher.
Nobody was pulled from school. Life continued normally.
That was a dry run
1976 Swine Flu? Doesn't matter. Pretty much the same thing happened the second time around.
When the US Government Tried to Fast-Track a Flu Vaccine
That wasn't the best article about it, but I'm rushing and it'll work.

Plus everyone is a pussy nowadays
So true. The men have become so wimpy
THIS ALREADY HAPPENED. It was the 68-69 season, and there was a new, exotic respiratory illness from Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Flu, they called it. It killed the modern equivalent of 160,000 people, in this country, alone. This was without governors murdering the elderly, or hospitals fudging numbers for money. There wasn’t a massive, coordinated attempt to use it, to overthrow the West.
What happened, that season? Massive outdoor gatherings like celebrations for Apollo 8, Woodstock, and country-wide parades for Apollo 11. Nobody cared, and nobody remembers, now. Covid could have been that, and we let them off the hook.
It baffles me that so few people know about this. Even people who grew up when this would have been big news don't even know. That's all this is.

Also that was 20-30 years of erosion-of-freedom ago, and the mere suggestion of a lockdown would have been met with a near universal ‘fuck off’ response.
My dad died a few years ago, but no way would he have ran around with a mask on and blindly followed along like a sheep. My dad was a Marine. He ate razor blades. He would be disgusted with all of this.
"Tech connects us"? Really? This is such a lie. Tech is isolating everyone into a world of individuals and their screens and shutting out the real world and real social relations with real people face-to-face. Tech is destroying the bonds and fabric of our society.
I doubt it would've happened at all.
We also wouldn't have had constant 24/7 news via social media constantly drumming up fear and rhetoric.
The lockdown and the "scale" of the pandemic would never have grown this large.
We already had sars 1 and did not oppress the world.
It was a Beta
And we'd be fine.
As we are now anyway
That's why they released it when they did
Beautiful truth bomb
we werent nearly such pussies even 20years ago
Fully agree. No way. We could not have kept students home from school a year. How would that have worked in the 90’s? Drive to the school and pick up worksheet packets? Nope.
Heck, even just a few years ago students did not have a 1:1 ratio with devices. The taxpayers spent a fortune getting each student a device just in the past few years. No way could this have been a thing in the 90’s. Also, I think people back then would not have tolerated this BS. We had more members of the greatest generation and baby boomers alive-I think more of us would have said no to masks and lockdowns.
Do tell, I'm curious about this.
No problem, if you find it later I'd love to learn more. I'll look myself, too. That's crazy.

Apparently they've tried a number of times to cause a plandemic, such as the SARS and H1N1 scares, but couldn't sicken and kill enough people to meet the WHO's criteria for a pandemic, until they redefined it before the current "outbreak."
Testing the system, Perhaps.
Too smart for the NPCs to comprehend. Sorry.
I guess it's time to update the old saw about reality just being a cop-out for people who can't cope with drugs to "Reality's just a place where people who can't handle social media hang out".
Tech is cancerous!
I wish George Carlin could enter the chat
They may have still made it look / feel like east Germany though, that’s their real point
Along those lines, I remember when AIDS first broke into the news in the 80’s. Nobody even knew what this new, mysterious virus was, how it would be spread, who was most at risk, etc... and not for one second did the country even approach lockdowns and/or masks.
