The Tolerance of the Left

 

These polls show how easily vast numbers of Americans can be brought to favor totalitarian measures justified by a lie. In this case, the lie that the Covid vax stops the spread, a claim publicly denied by, among others, vax promoter Bill Gates. 

Since the vax does not stop the spread, the consequences of being unvaccinated are largely personal. Yes, if as an unvaccinated person I get Covid (I've had it twice), I may be so sick as to be hospitalized, which would place a burden on the state. However, given my age, it is quite probable that Covid will kill me, in which case any immediate cost of hospitalization would be more than offset by the termination, through death, of my state pension and other public benefits. 

But rational arguments are no longer relevant to the management of public "information." The object, in matters about which the state aims to control the public mind, is to fool all the people all the time, and to demonize any who escape mind control by dismissing their views as hate speach or some other deviancy. To this end, the state and its media lackeys assert that hatred of what is hateful can somehowbe  unacceptable. Thus, it is deemed hate speach to express hatred for the Ukro-Nazis, who precipitated the Ukraine war by killing 14,000 Russian speaking civiliians in the Donbas by continual artillery fire since the US-orchestrated coup d'etat against the legitimate government in Kiev in 2014. 

Which raises the question, why do the people not tar and feather the crooks who rule in the West and ride them out of town on a rail. But now some nameless, faceless, nonentity with no understanding politics, philosophy or anything else will likely delete this post as they have recently deleted several others, on the basis of their pathetically childish understanding of legitimate debate. Go on, do it and while your at it, why not introduce yourself, and tell us why your judgement should overrule mine. Tell us your qualifications, what you last read, if you ever read, and why anyone should think you fit to decide what I may say in the public realm.
