COVID-19 turning out to be huge hoax perpetrated by media by pmc in news

Of course the media is blowing it out of proportion, but it's still a serious situation. COVID-19 is several times more deadly than the flu, but not massively so (it's not ebola or anything).

That being said, the biggest issue with COVID-19 is that it's highly transmissible, is able to overrun the hospitals with patients they can't keep up with, and its a new disease so it has the capacity to infect way more people than any given flu during flu season.

So not a hoax, but also not as big a deal as the media made it out to be, and now that we're past the issue of hospitals being overrun we can and should start opening up again soon.

I grew up near Eglin AFB and have never heard of them having an astro-turfing research team. I always thought PsyOp stuff was handled more by the Army. Crazy

That's called a mixed market economy but it is still capitalist, you tard. Not even going to listen to you because you clearly have never even attended a basic economics course. blocked

Canada, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, etc. are all great socialist success stories.

None of those are socialist countries. It's funny how socialists have no societies that are successful so they have to call successful capitalist countries with even less market regulations (with large social welfare systems) "socialist".

The army, navy, marines, airforce, spaceforce, NASA, NSA, FEMA, FBI, CIA, etc. and all the police states you've got are also evidence of thriving socialism.

This is proof that your definition of socialism boils down to "when the government does something", proving that you are retarded. Go back and read Marx.

socialism is a trash ideology that has never succeeded even a single time it has been tried

The intelligence community itself is becoming increasingly polarized--with no need from either party to agitate to make that so. After working adjacent to the IC and living in the DMV area, it's clear to see that the vast overwhelming majority of people here are left-leaning authoritarians. That doesn't bode well for the IC or America.

I understand people are upset because of the economy and they fear for their jobs, but I don't think is the answer. This will only make things worse in all likelihood.

Anyone who wants to see good coverage of China that mainstream outlets like Bloomberg obscure or do not report on on purpose should check out China digital times.

Anyone who seriously thinks this program would have led to U.S. boots on the ground in China able to ascertain the ramifications of Covid-19 is misinformed. China hid the truth from the world and their own people from the beginning. They did not even allow WHO personnel in the country for the longest time and you think they would have cooperated with Americans?? That's just not how it works over there. I lived in China for three years and the only thing you can consistently count on is the CCP lying and covering up issues that make it lose face or threaten the GDP growth.

I'm thinking the economic and creeping government authoritarianism will have more severe long term impacts from this. Still gonna keep on lockdown, social distancing and all that stuff to protect others, but we need some sort of timeline for a return to normalcy.

The social contract can only exist among a people with a shared ancestry. If the goal is to restore the social contract, the first step is a restoration of the ancient bonds among people. Safeguarding the welfare of the people can only happen when there is a people, rather than just people. by Chipit in WorldPolitics

Agreed. We should have empathy for our political opponents. The best way to convert them to our side is to try and appeal to their sense of reason, not own them for whatever their issues may be.
