Salient points for those too lazy to watch the video:
• Macron wants to make life miserable for the unvaccinated. • There's historical precedent for a govt blaming a small minority for everyone's problems. • The outcome of such govt policy is never positive. • But liberals are praising Macron's stance; in a few years, they'll pretend they didn't. • A new COVID variant: IHU ("I hump you")—nothing to freak out about. • Legacy media and governments, though, are peddling fear. • Macron, to be clear, is a fascist, not a liberal. • At this point, you're not getting rid of COVID.
• None of the countermeasures have done anything—not lockdowns, face shields, social distancing, travel restrictions, masking, Plexiglass shields, etc.
• We should have told people, from the beginning, to get healthier—more sun, fresh air, exercise; go to the gym (don't close the gyms down); don't throttle people's food supply and force them to buy processed shit from Walmart!
• "Keep the population fat and stupid" was the policy.
• Kids now are growing up socially and mentally stunted.
• The cycle of authoritarianism and fearmongering will continue.
• The legacy media is now openly censoring public figures.
Your summation sounds about right to me. I don't follow French politics so don't know much about Macron, but those COVID policies are all too familiar.
All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
Tasty Grammar is the general site—the front door, if you will. The Superficial is the free site. The Profound is the paid site, with in-depth content and an actual curriculum. Test Central isn't a Substack site, but it's where the in-depth quizzes, tests, answers, and explanations can be found. More Substacks to come as I develop new courses and keep adding features! Check back.
WHAT CORN AND PEANUTS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WARM AND STEAMING PILE? Vapid cultural commentary, pungent reviews, sundry Korea-related musings, fartological/scatological humor, political flatulence, and nondualistic Zen excretions in prose or poetry form.
Got a beef? Write the Hominid at bighominid@gmail.com, and put "HAIRY CHASMS" in the subject line, or your mail will be automatically trashed by Satan, my beautiful but deadly spam filter. Assume your mail will be published (editing at my discretion), unless you specify otherwise. Welcome to my backside.
BLOGROLLING POLICY: I don't do mutual linkage, and I have no problem with asymmetrical linkage: I link to bloggers who don't link back, and that's fine by me. Please DO NOT ask to be linked. Please DO NOT expect linkage just because you've linked to me. Also, if I don't link to you, please do not assume I think your blog sucks.
COMMENTS POLICY: My blog is my house; I'm responsible for keeping my dwelling clean. Commenters are guests, and guests of this blog will be civil, succinct, and relevant. All comments are subject to approval; I reserve the right to publish or not publish—in a pristine or altered form—all comments (and emails intended as comments) that I receive. Act like an asshole on my turf, and I'll make you look like the asshole you are. Be cool, and we won't have a problem. Simple, yes? And before I forget:
NO ANONYMOUS COMMENTS. Take responsibility for what you say. Screen names are OK, but no sock puppetry. Use the same SN consistently.
Your summation sounds about right to me. I don't follow French politics so don't know much about Macron, but those COVID policies are all too familiar.
