The wealthy got even more wealthy during the lockdown and the small businesses and working class got absolutely decimated by shut down and restrictions of non-essential business. If this is a "socialist" coup, it is a tremendous failure. $2000/month before tax CERB is not a replacement for a job. $2000/month before taxes is not a lot of money. You can make more by working. And a long history of unemployment can make it next to impossible for you to get a job in the future. So many businesses (including small businesses) have permanently shut down due to the financial losses. So we are going to have mass unemployment for awhile. So there is a higher cost to sitting on CERB/EI for a long time than you think.
What we are witnessing is not socialism but a population of NPCs responding with a disproportionate amount of irrational fear towards the actual threat posed by the virus. My family is all fucking terrified doomers. Including my boomer dad with cancer who is deathly afraid of catching the virus. Even though the survival rate for men in their 70s who aren't nursing home residents is now over 99% as the virus mutated to be weaker.
This pandemic is far less serious than the 1918 H1N1 pandemic. We blew our load over this shit? What happens when we have a real pandemic? Yes SARS-COV-2 killed more than the 2018 flu (the most nasty flu we had in a long time) but it is still a far, far cry from 1918 H1N1. We gonna torpedo our economy and our livelihoods over this? Sweden had among the most lax COVID restrictions and only 0.0583% of their population died from COVID. In any given year, probably 1.2% of Sweden's non-immigrant population dies. 1/82.31 years life expectancy = 1.2%.
Agreed. And they’ve also realized that socialist rhetoric can be applied without actually going through with any major social change. They still get to line their pockets. We’re beginning to follow China’s example
shit didn't we have the SARS concert with like thousands of people pack close to each other, it's mind blowing the difference that happens based on who the leader of the free world is.
I know wikipedia tells me the 'Kalergi Plan' is a 'far-right, anti-semitic, white nationalist conspiracy theory' and mentioning it will get you perma banned from reddit, but golly mister it sure seems real to me.
100%. You know it's a crock of shit just by the low word count.
“the man of the future will be of mixed race. today’s races and
classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. the eurasian-negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the ancient egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals.” -Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi 1925
'eurasian-negroid race of the future''
'replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals'
Lewis for PM

A better wording would be an Authoritarian coup. Authoritarianism has little to do with economics

Decimated means one out of ten was destroyed.

I'd vote for her over that racist trudeau any day of the week.

'replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals'
'diversity of individuals'
This is no 'theory'.
