1000 new cases in Iran

Afaik there are two strains of Coronavirus and is more deadly than the other

China is an aggregate, Iran and Italy more deadly, South Korea possibly has the milder version

Chinas is also fake

Probably

I do believe they managed to reduce spread somewhat

ya I have heard that

I still think their numbers have been fake

nothing ever happens during happenings

90% chance coronavirus does nothing no matter how bad it looks

umg we're gonna collapse anarchy

about idealism, I had a brief conversation with a lefty on discord about this a while ago. He thought that all of our (the right's) talk about "realism" and "human nature" was just dissembling. Really, we just don't *want* to change the world to make it good, so we're rationalizing these excuses about the limitations of reality.

I think a lot of what we do focuses on trying to take a realistic view of society and human limitations. If they're assuming that's all meaningless, then it's natural that they will seem stupid to us and we seem mean-spirited to them.

Of course we want to change the world to make it good, though along the way we realize human beings are ultimately human beings and that we can’t make our societies perfect

From our perspective, what is going on rn, the moral decadence, the loss of religion, the loosing of sin by the hand of the authorities, the slow death of our people, that’s all *evil*

We want to ultimately do away with that evil or at least discourage it to the best of our ability, but we acknowledge that we can’t shape the human condition

If they want to think of themselves as omnipotent, then they don't seem stupid, they are stupid. Stupid and immature. A large part of growing up is learning your limitations, and apparently, they never have

It makes sense we'd sound evil to them, however

Heres the truth

Stop reporting happenings

instead

enginneer them

Lefties are just rationalizing their psycological need for a perfect world and faith in human enlightenment in the face of the harshness of reality
@rock on, Ānanda

yeah

We can play amature psycology all day

@NeoFuturist Literally heres an idea for bogaloo

Get the entireity of red washington to secede and legally join Idaho to split washington in 2

antifa riots

fun begins

What?

the blue parts of Washington are seperated from each other

cutting them off is legal

as long you aren't doing anything illegal, go for it

The left are a result of a misunderstanding of reality based on decadence of the Burghers as well as a rejection of proper metaphysics

Guys heres an idea

run as a democrat in Virginia

try to pass terrible policies while telling red county commissioners to join west virginia

I call it Main Virginia

btw I'm listening to the Zero Books premiere "Bernie 😭 " right now. There's an interesting if stupid moment. The guest is this fellow Chris Cutrone who has supposedly flirted with Trumpism in the past. Of course, he hasn't really flirted with it, and you can tell that because if he had, everyone on the left would be mad at him. But I guess he's written something about Trump with some modicum of nuance, plus he says Tucker Carlson reads him.

So, this Cutrone person says that at the same time, rightists are flirting with Marxism and then he adds "Of course, on the right, people can talk about the whole range of ideas. That's because the right is not so motivated by ideas. They're opportunists, unlike the left, which is driven by ideas."

basically, trying to spin his own inability to consider & discuss non-approved ideas as a virtue

The right is just opposition to the left
