I love Eric July's content on YouTube. As far as libertarian podcasts go, I prefer Tom Woods. I like to download Tom Woods' MP3s and listen to them while I drive.
I'm so pissed off that we are getting locked down again in Peel over a virus where the median age of death is 84. I'm sick of this cucked country. We deserve to be culturally enriched by Pajeet and Tyrone. White Canadians are soft. We created civilization but our civilization has bred a bunch of pussies.
The left went from "Ok boomer" in late 2019/early 2020 to "let's lock ourselves down to save the boomers (and Silent Gen. Most people who die from the virus are Silent Gen)."
When my dad (who is a Tory) freaks out about the WuFlu because of what he heard on CNN, I am tempted to say "Ok Boomer." People like him voted for Doug Ford and are the reason why we are locked down again.
These old geezers had their youth. They had their run. Let us live our lives. (Disclaimer: I know not every boomer and Silent Gen is pro-lockdown. I know based boomers who want their children and grandchildren to live and who want to see their family. But I certainly know a lot of boomers who are pro-lockdown. My dad included.)
Fair comments. A couple of notes: the lockdowns are to protect the silent Gen more than boomers. (And the funny part is many leaders in Canada are Gen X.)
About Ford - people having voted for him is not the reason you are locked down. Most political leaders are feeling the pressure to lockdown. Almost no one has the guts to push back. If it wasn’t Ford it would be someone else locking down Ontario.
My boomer dad and older Gen X siblings (I'm a millennial) acts like this is the boomer remover virus. lmao. I told my dad, "the proportion of people in Ontario 70-79 who died from this virus are 0.06%. You really think you're that lucky 0.06%? You're not as vulnerable as you think you are. CNN is propaganda." And yeah sure the percentage will be higher than 0.06% after Corona-chan runs her course. As not every 70-something has been exposed to the virus yet (the statistic shows you that only 0.56% of 70-79 year olds have been infected to date but we know that number is bullshit. They didn't test mild cases early on. And most grandpas with mild symptoms are probably not going to waste their time to queue up in a drive test center. But the deaths when it's all said and done won't be significantly higher. This is like a bad flu. The flu kills old people too and we never shut down over a flu.
Nearly 33% (that's nearly a third) of the died with COVID statistic is 90+ year olds. That's 0.84% of Ontario's population making up nearly 33% of the "COVID deaths" (these inflated died with COVID statistics =/= died from COVID). 70-79 year olds make up like 17.5% of the "COVID deaths" while making up 6.9% of the population. More vulnerable than the average person but not insanely vulnerable like people in their fucking 90s.
COVID is the type of virus (like the flu) that usually only pushes people off the edge who are close to the edge. Except for the odd Kandle Randleman has knocked out Mirko Cro Cop flash KO. Every once in awhile Corona-chan has a sick flash KO and the media keeps replaying the instant replay over and over again when she kills a 33 year old or puts a 31 year old caked up thot on a ventilator (probably fake footage). But she generally lacks knock out power in her hands. Where was the media when Flu-chan had some sick Flash KOs?
It’s almost humorous but it’s sad. It’s not only Boomers. It’s Gen X, millennials and Gen Z. So many people frightened by the daily fear porn. It’s hard to talk to friends and family - I risk major disagreements over this dumb virus. And as you allude to, everyone knows one anecdote about some young person who died (without specifics) and uses that story to justify the fear and lockdowns.
