Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 56
As we move further into the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:
1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.
2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.
4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

(Anonymous) 2022-08-31 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)It seems that you are just describing cowardice.
I am not picking on Germans particularly - I see that all over Europe. Even countries in E. Europe with 30% fox rate still behaved like cowards.
I have to give a shout out to some americans - for people that do not live in the "deplorable" land, it's hard to imagine how many people here have stood up against mandates and masks from the beginning - losing their jobs sometimes for their principles. These are not philosophers or intellectuals (that turned out to be the worst cowards in general) but regular people that somehow maintained their humanity through all this. So excuse me for being a bit dismissive.

(Anonymous) 2022-09-01 12:03 am (UTC)(link)Examples include Chinese and Plains warfare styles, sneakiness being cowardice. Basically anyone who believes in slugging it out tends to think guerillas and hit and run engagements are cowardice. Saw a lot of this in US propaganda. Never mind that the taliban couldn’t go toe to toe and going toe to toe is easy when you have the height and weight advantage.

(Anonymous) 2022-09-01 06:30 am (UTC)(link)"You launched a sneaky IED attack!"
"Oh yeah, well you only fight from the safety of 40,000 feet!"
Basically, if you can land a damaging blow, and you do, you are almost certainly exploiting an opponent's weakness, so you probably can't claim that you're being 'nice' about it.
Instead, you wanted to hurt them, they exposed a weakness or you saw one, then you exploited it, and they were hurt as a result. All of this chivalry stuff, well, it's just a pack of lies. Violence is not nice.
I bet, for example, that more cowboys were just murdered by getting shot in the back than died in stand up duels. All that Hollywood stuff is just nonsense.
Similarly, all of war is just murder, with both sides trying to kill each other with as little risk and damage to themselves as they can. Or you'd hope so anyway, unless you want to walk into enemy machine guns or whatever after telling them you are coming over to give them a bit of a hiding.
No, I'm afraid the reality is that one tries to destroy one's enemy with as little risk to oneself as possible in war - preferably by stabbing them in the back while they're sleeping.
It's not a nice game of chess or anything.

I do not think that becoming skilled with the weapons that are, in fact, available to you, is cowardice.
Anymore than I think being more interested in your own life and your own circle of important people, and more willing to invest all your energies in those things within your reach that your own actions can influence, than in the doings of holders, or aspirants-in-contention, of thrones, is "apathy".
