It's there to help people that get off by thinking the deaf are being helped.

You've succinctly summed up why this has always irritated me so much. Thank you.

Couldn't be more predictable.

You're not allowed to do ANYTHING in peace. Silence is violence, don't you know.

This is pretty accessible and gives some valuable background: https://quillette.com/2020/08/16/the-challenge-of-marxism/

In 2021, I expect they can when the individual is DJT...

I wish I could give you more than my upvote and my wholehearted agreement. The destructive effects of the "new normal" on society and on children in particular terrify me. Your point about constant media hysteria rendering people unable to handle serious problems couldn't be more true. And yet I can't discuss this in public because then I'm "heartless", "stupid", "anti-science", and even "human trash" per one former friend, not to mention in danger of losing my job. It's all just another way for certain groups to virtue-signal.

Can't believe a Cheney is now a hero to all of my leftist associates. How the world turns.

It's also possible the Australian government may never let us leave our country again... no citizens allowed out for 10 months and counting (except the elite, of course).

Likewise, I used to think I didn't like America - turns out I just hate American leftists who leave your beautiful country and then bag it at every opportunity.

It's a nightmare looking for a sane man, I can't imagine how hard it is finding sane women.

Literally a Chinese province under a Biden presidency, irreversibly.

You're not alone, there are tens of us!

There was always something suspicious about having to specify "don't be evil".

We are beyond screwed in Australia with a Biden presidency. At that point we're effectively a Chinese province.

Me too. I always figured it would happen but thought they'd continue boiling the frog, not lay it all out there within 48 hours.

Thank you for this, may be useful with a musician friend who's almost ready to take the redpill.

Similar to the survival rule for women with regards to stranger rapes/murders: never let them take you to a second location. Better to force them to do whatever they're going to do to you in the most public place possible. Maybe they'll lose their nerve, maybe somebody will intervene, maybe you'll still die, but it's always going to be better than what they had planned for you elsewhere.

I've been saying for a while that it's absolutely going to backfire when all the celebrities that kids like are regurgitating the same narrative as their teachers. They'll seek out alternative figures to admire. Teenagers need space to push back, and that space is now conservatism.

In my experience, they're people who've had easy lives and never developed a proper sense of danger. Not bad, but painfully naive and easily led. They believe the best of people because they've never been forced to see otherwise.

It's alarmingly easy to produce false memories. You can even do it to yourself (not necessarily recommended, but can be informative to try if you're of sound mind).

I encourage you and others who have witnessed the whole thing unfold to write down all of your recollections, all of the truth, ON PAPER, and store it somewhere safe. I have done so. It doesn't matter if you aren't much of a writer - it's just important that personal accounts exist in physical form. So much of our movement has taken place online and is highly vulnerable to being erased at any time. Regardless of how this all shakes out, we don't want the only records of these five years available to our grandchildren to be the newspaper archives.

I work with someone who does this in professional emails. I don't know how I haven't lost my mind yet.

Citizens not allowed to leave the country and very few allowed back from overseas, cricket stadium only allowed to fill to 30% capacity on the biggest day of the year despite no COVID cases in the state for >8 weeks, going to the gym or out to eat requires booking ahead and giving all of your personal details for "contact tracing" (although the health department is too incompetent to actually do that), still have mask mandates. They will never give us back the freedoms they've stolen.

Can't imagine an election without struggling to unfold and read an obscenely large senate ballot.

They'd have us do that to dogs, too. Lots of leftists advocate banning private animal breeding in favour of only having "rescue pets" (I don't know where they think those animals ultimately come from).
