If there's any single way to insure people go out...it's fucking celebs lecturing at us to stay in.

They didn't take it seriously, were still concerned with issues from the old way of life (people's ethnic pride and feelings. National campaign to 'hug an Asian') and, as if this were terrorism or a human enemy and could be 'scared off', continued their usual routines of reading in crowded cafes and greeting others warmly with a big ol French kiss./s Because of this, they were forced in the other direction and had to crack down using the police and military.(Anyone see the live video feed of Times Square lately?) Will the US go the same route, eventually, with so many people 'bravely' flouting what the president and national healthcare community (putting their lives on the line to stop the spread) are only suggesting we do (self-quarantine)? Or, will Americans be smart and voluntarily isolate to stop the spread? At least until a vaccine can be found and/or widely distributed? Only time will tell but from what I've seen it doesn't look good. Expect the government, either local, state or national, to implement a curfew sooner or later. Italy, I've heard, had to threaten 6 e: make that 3 months (?) in prison because people still were going out. I guess we know why China steeled people's doors and welded them inside their homes and apartments: because people are fucking retarded.

Nobody knows for sure what the future is. But, I trust someone who has studied exactly this... for a dozen years... over a random stranger online.

More speculative, conspiratorial nonsense from people with too much time on their hands. Trust Donald Trump. Swine flu and China flu are not equal, apparently? "B-b-but they're both flus! "/s One may be, seems to be looking like it will be, more lethal than the other. Especially if e-tards keep treating it like it's nothing. Why that is so hard for some people to fathom (that one outbreak can kill more people because it is more lethal than the other), I am sure I have no idea. But, I trust Trump. He has more information than any of us do, and can decern truth from fiction a heck of a lot more clearly than Sunset or whoever that e-celeb pundit is over at Cringy Con Treehouse. I'll take your down vote now. Thank you.

Not just young people! I ventured out from my, going-on two week, self /family-quarantine (to buy snus. I admit it. A bad habit I thought I had beat but the stress has got me snusing again, as I taper from a kratom+piracetam+phenibut habit that I've been reeling from since 2016. Got that down to just 8g krat, 4g pira/day. Which has been, frankly, much, much harder than you'd possibly think it'd be since they're 'just supplements' and you'd think the WD's wouldn't include night terrors, audio hallucinations and generally feeling like you've been run over by a truck, scraped up with a flat shovel, fed to a bear then shit off a cliff! You'd think that... but, pedes, you'd be wrong! Not gonna lie, it's been fecking brutal. I'll share the story with you in case anyone else is out there, you're not alone, and to warn people away from unneeded 'supplements' and 'performance enhancers'! WannaCry1 was a wake-up call for me to be ready for an emergency and not tied, hand and foot, to any substances that are unneeded, costly and a burden to carry around and if I missed a dose, one of four per day, I'd be unable to function and going through immediate rapid and ghastly withdrawals. Trump getting elected, being a part of this positive, no excuses, no worship of victimhood movement gave me the initial push to quit wallowing in victim status, for me, quit listening to medical substance abuse 'professionals' recommending anti-depressants that truly, well and truly, pedes, made me crazy when I was on them. But, that's just my experience, listen to your doctors, heh I guess, if they have you on medications for more serious conditions. That's up to you. Trump got the ball rolling and then WannaCry1 nailed it to my forehead like Martin Luther's 95 thesis: GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER. So, having experienced the judgemental, completely incompetent, cruel 'hospitality' of substance abuse treatment facilities before, and being charged a thousand a day for the pleasure of being talked down to... and kept in a freezing room with one threadbare sheet, what was the therapeutic value of that? I ask you, pedes. Just cruelty! But after all that, I started the slow journey out of 'Hell' with a self-administered and thoroughly accounted for tapering. Measured and noting every single 'scoop' and if I skipped or slipped, a thorough investigation and inventory of why and what led up to my transgression, what the pros call a 'chain analysis' etc etc. All by my lonesome, pedes, because, as I quickly found out, going to NA or SMART recovery meetings, for me at least, was like being surrounded by the most dramatically dysfunctional and heirarchy-obsessed individuals, the worst role-models! Committed to their identities as substance abusers, the NA crowd at least, SR discourages that sort of self - identification, and ignorant of positive psychology and expecting to model functional behavior or develop a 'normal' life! The meeting were harder than the tapering and anyways I was an outsider there and forever on the bottom of their totempole of sobriety because, gasp!, I was still using, technically speaking, as I tapered lower and lower. And this was in the Pacific Northwest where the 'cutting edge' therapies for addiction are developed, because theres so many of us 'drug addicts' up here. Remember now, please, I am a just and moral person and just had problems with legal supplements, not even alcohol. Just 'supplements' you buy in the mail and can get at GNC, herbal apothecaries, etc! I tell ya, if you have a relative with this problem, and they're sincerely trying to get better, give them a hug or some support. It's insane. Self improvement is a worthwhile goal and many of us are intelligent, kind people who just bought into the 'drugs make you cool' Hollywood mythology or were looking for an advantage in cranking for finals or trying to remain calm while struggling with this modern world and all its harsh realities. We messed up. Big time. But we're trying to be better people now. Please don't shame us further than we have often ashamed ourselves. Substance abuse treatment, in the West at least, is decades away from anything reasonable and rational and helpful. So anyways, been slowly doing better, coming from swallowing 40g of kratom a day, down to 8. No more phenibut at all. That was the garbage that gave me night terrors and hallucinations! Coming off that Russian pharmaceutical. Down, down, down. Slow n steady. Doing this thing everyone at SMART recovery told me was impossible. Told me I couldn't do without them. Had a doctor tell me I'd never get sober without medical treatment. Still not 100% but, now, down to dang near nothing, in comparison to levels I'd take. Amounts that I've never read anyone else doing and that, if you have that much to someone who hadn't built up a tolerance, would kill them straightaway. Much more functional these last two years. Like a new lease on life! Even stopped cofeve and nicotine... for about a month! But, as I say, the stress lately came at me and I was weak and gave in and started back up drinking the old 'mean bean' and taking that nasty snus again. And so, even though I should've been totally beyond all this by now, if I was a stronger or more disciplined pede, I found that I had run out of snus. And so, I ventured out of quarantining to buy another 2 packs of General. God as my witness, they will be the last I will buy. At least for this year! I can promise that much. But anyways, I ventured out of my self-quarantine today)... and was non-plussed by the sheer number of people galavanting around as if nothing were wrong! Live in a thoroughly upper middle-class neighborhood. We are, by far, the poorest on our block. You shoulda seen the people all over the place! Walking their dogs and trotting around, jog-walking and laughing with their tongue out and a half-dozen kids playing in the street together like wtf? Are we not in the middle of a global pandemic, people?? I felt like I was in a movie. It was surreal. All these wealthy, (mainly white) people, smiling and glibly spreading the effin virus around, willy-nilly, by pretending everything was normal. People were playing tennis, ffs. Tennis!! At that park off Walnut St in Tigard! Insane. And so, it's not just young people.

An Asian guy was beaten in Philly recently.

Do not know the whole story, just saw the headline of the video (people are so horrible now, videotaping instead of helping), but I doubt it was the only assault that happened that night in Philadelphia.

Bad people will always break laws and use any disruption of normal life, catastrophe or widespread emergency, to break even more laws.

One way to look at it is, from a Joseph Campbell, mytho-heroic, perspective: the stakes have been raised in the eternal battle of law and order v the forces of anarchy, willful infliction of pain and destruction of other people's property and wellbeing.

Let's not forget that when Trump was elected people, acting under the name of BlackLivesMatter, were disrupting study across our nation's campuses, beating up random strangers via 'the Knock Out game', were disrupting travel by blocking highways and interstates and one of them went so far as to ambush a police march and snipe/kill three police officers in Baton Rogue (2016)! Enemies of the West and more specifically the United States love these dissenting activist groups, made up largely (let us assume for now) of unsuspecting, well-intentioned Western and US citizens. The same as our intelligence services have done in other countries in the past, for us though it was too tuple a dictatorship or (let us assume for now) enable the population to get their feet beneath them and free themselves from under the thumb and censorship and death squads of tyrannical authoritarian leaders, they are promoting and using as cover these groups to worry, hinder, engage and disrupt the host government. Difference being, night and day. The West, as anyone with access to the internet and maps of modern day slavery, maps of women's safety, freedom of press, generational advancement in terms of economic wellbeing, etc, is head and shoulders better to its citizens than African, Asian, Middle Eastern (esp!) and various, smaller Oceanic civilizations.

Growing up 1970s-Beginning of ('Free') Information Age, saturated and inundated, as many of us 21-41 year olds were, with (let us assume once more) well-meaning stories about the superiority of non-Western societies, it's easy to think of multiculturalistic equality of all societies as a foregone, universally accepted fact and dismiss any mention of this grandiose struggle between order, tranquility, rationality, weak or strong theological belief in a power greater than Man, on the one hand, and tribalism, greed, mere physicalism and atheistic communitarianism on the other. To put it more succinctly, 'the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing people he didn't exist."

If you read all of this, I thank you. You are one of the good ones and do not need to be directed to Chapter 7 of 'The Shallows', by Nicholas Carr!

Have a good rest of your night, pede. Evil exists and there are irrational, empathy-lacking animals out there, masquerading as human.

In the 1st pic on the original thread, Milo looks like he is crying. In 2016, visiting Berkeley and etc, he was surrounded and 'guarded' by very... shall we say...unsavory and anti-LGBT elements that he refused to identify or comment about. Then, on his visit to the Joe Rogan podcast he let slip that he was married to a female when he included "my wife" in an answer to some question that I don't remember right now. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, or spread undue e-drama, just pointing out things I have witnessed lo these many years of following the Based Faggot. He brought many thousands into the fold and was, I believe, the single most popular metapolitical weapon in our arsenal to get Trump elected. Second, of course, to 'daddy' Trump himself. By a long shot. Ah, well. I did pray and will continue praying for his salvation and health. A friend of his, Fencing Bear at Prayer is also very based and worthy of attention.

TL: Good luck, Milo! Be safe!

Been enjoying the Dutch old masters lately. Modern art, like much of modern life, is rubbish. And is so 'meta' that it exists and entertains as an abstract idea without satisfying the eyes or soul.

Here is one from Cossiers that shows Jesus hanging out with drinkers and assorted 'low lifes', while glancing up (and back) towards God. I wonder what He is supposed to be thinking! Is it a playfully heretical 'guilt' or call that 'even such as these' are worth saving? Maybe Jan Cossiers is the only one who knows for certain!

Anyways, good post, good message and, speaking for myself only, very well received. Bless you, pede.

TL:DR: People just want to know that you're on our side. That you support this country and not trying to harm it (because, sadly, there are people who have moved here from other countries who hate us and hate the West!) :I Blows my mind, too. But it's true. Look at Omar Mateen. So, a little gesture like a hat or pin goes a long way, imo.

If you are Chinese in America or the West I will tell you the same advice I gave my Mexican wife during Trump's battle over the wall and illegal immigration! Most people are not racist. Wear an American flag pin, tee-shirt, hat or otherwise show that you support your new country over where you came from (or your grandparents came from, because people are dying and how are they to know by a glance? ) and guaranteed 99% of any salty looks or whatever will be avoided. I got a good one, she's with me and came in the right way! She's more based than I am and actually had a lot to do with me being more conservative! This new round of xenophobia is more intense as more people are dying from it. Don't be afraid. Just show your support for the West, take your usual precautions as you would any other day walking through a dangerous inner city area or whatever, conceal carry as always, and please.. continue MAGAing!! US flag

There were pedes saying this three weeks ago and getting account after account banned from this site. Deported as "fear-mongerers." For repeating what the president himself was saying. Serious question: How does it feel mods to know you added to the death count? Feel good? Feel bad? Or, do you not take any responsibility for your actions at all? For continuing to fall for CCP's ongoing online propaganda that this is just a flu? And silencing the message that our president wants spread? Genuinely curious.
