People here only protest for media-approved causes: climate change, BLM, Indian farmers. None of which are actually important for our country.

Seems to corroborate what this review found, showing about a 0.7% chance of asymptomatic transmission while living in the same household: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2774102

If you have a 0.7% chance of transmitting to people you live with, I imagine asymptomatic transmission in brief public interactions would be fairly negligible.

The yellow star will help other people know to avoid them. No social gatherings with people with yellow stars. Why don't we just put those people with yellow stars into a camp so we don't have to worry about being infected by them??

She must have been on test before she announced, her jaw looks twice as big as say in Juno or X-men

Actually pretty interesting how fast I can read it despite the jumbled letters - basically the same speed as reading normal text. Also kind of interesting that I can automatically parse context for words that could have two different meanings eg. "cluod" could be either "could" or "cloud" but while reading I didn't even have to process that.

The brainwashing runs deep. I've found that if I describe anti-white racism in more general terms (saying hirebipoc.ca is explicitly racist, rather than say it is explicitly racist against whites, or similar) I'm actually able to get some support on Reddit. As soon as you say something is racist against whites, their pavlov conditioning to the word white kicks into gear and they downvote.

To be fair, I've almost passed out from various vaccines and blood tests in the past as well. It may just be a response to needles. Plus it's not even clear to me that this is after she got the vaccine, her words sound like she's talking about how she and her colleagues are "going" to get the vaccine.

I thought Infinity War was actually pretty good partly because it deviated from this formula. Compared to a lot of the prior villains, Thanos was actually an intimidating presence throughout the movie which lent the story a sense of urgency. Kind of like Ozymandias from the Watchmen movie, he doesn't fuck around and the results show it.

They get an inside look at how the CAF operate. They get used to working together with the CAF. That'll be useful for them as Canada gradually becomes a de facto Chinese settlement and people possibly start pushing back. Then the PLA and CAF will be prepared to work together to lock up dissidents.

The fuck ever happened to my body my choice? But hell, women LOVE this authoritarian shit

Kind of an interesting poll result is that women are about equally as pro-choice as men. It depends on the year/poll, but seems to float right around 50/50:

Gotta love how the "equality rights" section of the charter has a built-in subsection allowing discrimination "so long as it helps disadvantaged groups".

(2) Subsection (1) does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability. (84)

To be fair, it can't be blamed entirely on just the lockdown/government response. The sheer existence of covid-19, regardless of government response, probably had an impact as well as fearmongering by the media.

The ACAB folks suddenly love cops when they're enforcing rules they like, regardless of the fact that these covid rules are much more arbitrary and encroaching of people's normal lives than those that they were protesting which involved stopping violent crime.

Yep. Arguments saying there is systemic racism against black people are always just broad comparisons of outcomes or isolated cases of genuine racism. Meanwhile, I can take a glance at my university email inbox and see jobs which literally bar white people from applying. Scholarships given if you don't have white skin. I get ads on television of a website called hirebipoc.ca, blatant discrimination. All supported by government and major corporations - you know, the system.

My sister-in-law was going off about anti-maskers, and yet she believed that the death rate of covid was 3-4%. When I corrected her that the IFR according to the WHO is 0.27% she literally paused, went to speak a couple times, and then went ".....huh" and then pivoted to saying we need to protect old people.

Even Calgary or Alberta, which voted overwhelmingly for the UCP and are 60+% Christian, have subreddits with daily 5-minutes hate threads on Jason Kenney. Literally everything that happens is a chance to shit on Kenney for something. Covid cases are high (but not even as high as other Western areas?) OMG Kenney is a murderer! Kenney answers a media question? OMG why would he say such a thing! Your dog got hit by a car? Why hasn't Kenney done something about this! Reddit isn't very representative of IRL, although it does seem to represent where we're going...

At this point I'm pretty sure rights in the legal sense are just a spook, you only really have the right to what you and your allies can defend through force. Any sort of written list of rights such as the Charter can be spun around in some way to nullify them in specific situations. Eg. the classic "you don't have the right to yell fire in a movie theatre!". Or, in the case of covid, redditors will often defend restrictions of your liberty because your liberty threatens other people's lives with disease. I don't believe either of these are particularly convincing reasons to restrict people in the way they are used, but it doesn't really matter what I think - it only matters that the government (and the people who have been brainwashed by media and/or public school, they reinforce each other) has the ability to use escalating levels of force, from fines to incarceration to murder depending on your level of resistance, to destroy you. You don't get your rights back until you have a sufficiently sized and/or armed group to defend them and make it infeasible or unduly expensive for the government to fight you.
