It depends on what sort of left we are talking about. If race communism had its way then white conservatives could only communicate through the medium of a black man.
At least according to the realpolitik. Where the power and authority is. Elites used to fear the way of human progress but things have changed now. People are desperate for a classic elite like the queen as a break away from the radical transformation of society that is now usual. The citizens don't modernise the authorities, the authorities modernise people. The revolution comes from above.
The establishment is liberal and conservatives are the marginalised group sort of so liberals follow the orders and set the tests. Conservatives are the marginalised group. The left is now the right, and the right is the left.
Vaccinated people have a 40% lower viral load if and when they are infected. And besides it's missing the point of being vaccinated. It won't matter if and when you are infected because it's less than flu to the vaccinated and there isn't enough unvaccinated people to overwhelm the health service. Particularly when you consider that the unvaccinated are more of the young although hopefully even the old unvaccinated catch some benefit from our acquired resistance. They could still spend the rest of the year hiding if they want. There's not a lot of chance of catching covid from someone reinfected with it next year. The first time is always the worst.
We won't go bankrupt because of technology. Amazon will be the difference between the economy shrinking or not, and it's the main winner when you make covid dodging palatable. We would level off at a greater level of Amazon at the expense of what could have been a brilliant invention tomorrow.
I don't like it but I think with aging and with automation government is attempting to impersonate the spending habits of a 21 year old. But then maybe it shouldn't and the economy should shrink like it would when the average person is a bit of a has-been. We have on the one hand the limitless power to create machines and on the other hand a general public that doesn't go out anymore to some extent.
Now that it's fashionable to have something wrong with you there's no shame in saying you're a victim of terrible things. But to say I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused, that's more like what admitting a weakness would have been in the past.
And that's really the difference. People saw terrible things in the 40s and didn't go on about them. Nowadays we hear just about everything but the worst thing I've seen are the beggars. The outside world is beginning to sound far more desperate. Thrice as many asking for money because I'm from England.
And yet the war generation could have been really cool. Again and again they could have died in the 40s, but they would shy away from the respect they could have got. They invented the NHS but they didn't go on about the war. They didn't go on to make life hard to try and prove that they were hard. Like Fight Club. Perhaps the need for drama just needs to be knocked out of people.
And repairing the family is a big part of stopping all this. Letting youth be raised by the state is the reason why they were so sure that the black guy will score. Fanatically convinced of this by each and every aspect of media. But how wrong their assumption of black supremacy was. Missed three times and only the blacks. Repairing the family would repair our sense of credit where its due. We've reached the limit on how much credit can be extended to the unworthy.
Not that I'm actually against the baby boomers living as long as they possibly can. I'll get vaccinated if you do. The real tragedy is for someone's memory of being 16 to be lockdown. Time will tell what the unintended consequences would be from a fight that may have began in earnest but is now an unnecessary war
It's basically a situation that inverts the blitz and gives posterity a type of polio. The New People do what jingoism and polio once did in terms of a doomed youth.
It makes a lot more sense if you think of it as a struggle between the New People and those who know they were born. Know they were born and know they must die. Covid has struck at the peak of "age is just a number" when that's the last thing it says. Society is controlled by a triple-locked lockdown lover where everything it does denies youth a future to grant old age a security.
And a little bit of capitalism versus socialism. It's 80% a situation where the greater good is served by acting on your own self-interest instead of a collective attempt to do the right thing. We work an hour here and there for the right thing, not all the time. In an uncountable myriad of ways the world will catch 80% more good from you doing you.
Any other institution would be worse, more corrupt. At least there's a chance of knowing you will be caught by God. By a god you can't change as and when you do wrong. The Catholic church makes it up as they go along just like protestant individuals do, but in the Catholic church you have the flock. A large group not making it up as they go along.
It's the sense that you've got it all worked out and everything that will happen, has happened. History has happened and there's just a few swift short years left of the future, one or two gaps in our understanding and a lot of insurance. It'll be surprised when it does actually die after being raised on that inheritance.
It's a money thing. The common sense amongst the privileged people ever to have lived is that you're not going to need a higher power anymore. There'll be no ordeal. It's when the standard of living is better than we are.
Don't trust anybody over 30 is even more relevant today. And you never know maybe posterity will respond to covid like the 60s responded to the 50s. All of this technology and repression is a bit 50s style, the garish and unsafe experiments in a quasi-military atmosphere.
For reasons both good and bad there's probably not that many undetected cases in Britain. With the NHS on one side and the surveillance state on the other there isn't a lot of room under the radar. Under vaccinations it's gone from the equivalent of 3 flus in one go to something that could be more accurately depicted as man flu.
Housing being the first thing I'd fund with money with that used to fund a surplus of cops and soldiers. Slum-clearance. Let no American live in a slum and let there be no such thing as a slumlord.
And as little as I know about the situation with housing over there I suggest that a tenant like that should be a burden of the state. There should be a provision of publicly owned shoe boxes so that problem people find themselves living in one of these Lego sheds that can be made in a factory.
Although there will be pushback because face coverings are a barrier to being suspicious of someone by another way. Namely as a shoplifter. They'll have to come up with a new way of making relations more frosty that works with the surveillance state. And I'll bet they'll manage it. Manage it without even trying. That's just the way of the world when it remains uncleansed by war.
Women and the rich have a head start because they're attuned to view another as a potential threat. It's the very nature of having more worth stealing and/or raping when proles usually have to go to prison to put up the same level of front. A much higher chance of being stabbed before it begins to behave that frenemy. As frenemy as the mask which is purportedly there to help others but is more a way of saying that I'm suspicious of everyone I meet. If I can get through this encounter with a stranger unharmed, I'd be delighted.
