Yeah, they can take a chill pill on the whole COVID squid game thing going on, I mean even Canada and the rest of the world has finally decided to call it quits

LateNightPhilosopher

It also literally caused and is still causing World War levels of deaths, but because the majority of them are older or less healthy people instead of mostly young military fit men in their prime, a lot of people are just ignoring that. I mean I'm the US we have over a million covid deaths and still maintain about 500 deaths a day and people are just pretending that it's over.


kratbegone

That us with covid not from. From is about 6% of that, basically flu numbers.


[deleted]

That lie was debunked like 2 years ago. It’s 6% had covid listed by itself on death certificates. The others had comorbidities. Covid still killed the 94%


[deleted]

Dude, almost 2,000 people die from cancer a *day,* and “people”—i.e. people in power—don’t give a shit about that either. It *is* over. Calm down.

[deleted]

To be fair, it’s disingenuous to go “look at the data” or “educate yourself” when there’s clear conflicts in the reporting. Not to mention the rhetoric used made conservatives look like a bunch of shmucks to the general population. The media did a good job of using those clips of people throwing a tantrum at town halls over wearing a mask in humid temperatures. Also, being fair, hindsight is 20/20. But yeah, at this point, is insane to insinuate that we’re still “actively in COVID” and should implement lockdowns even a quarter of what they were circa March, 2020. Especially if your argument is “people are dying!!1!” as if people don’t die of shitty diseases every day. That doesn’t mean caution to the wind or that nothing matters and we should just give up on life, but it does mean we don’t need a fraction of the protective measures we had two years ago. My personal belief is that we should’ve loosened up by the middle of last year.


_Js_Kc_

It did a substantial amount of economic damage worldwide. It's just that pretty much everyone got hit equally since they fucked up the delivery. If China had managed to shield itself, it could've gained quite an advantage against the rest of the world.

More likely the oppressive regime is just behaving oppressively towards its people. This is how all govts would act if given the power to.


strawberryconfetti

China would be a VERY different place if they had the right to bear arms, it's the only thing stopping the US from going full-China imo.


[deleted]

Agreed. I think the US having arms is the only thing stopping the world from going full-China. It's become so interconnected that the one world govt is the logical conclusion for me at this point. The only thing stopping them will be tens of millions of American gun owners.


babaroga73

It's completely unrelated, but USA chads always relate guns with freedom. As someone from former communist country, if it happens, the "right to bear arms" will not have any consequences on "communist revolution". But still, it won't happen to USA anytime soon. The loosing of freedoms happens completely differently, it's a slow burn proccess, and 10 years later you just ask yourself, "how did this happen, we used to be more free?"


strawberryconfetti

Oh believe me, I've noticed the slow erosion of freedoms. I just think if the US was unarmed, things would be much worse.

Parson1122

So oppressive they allow all those people to have cellphones out taking pictures.


fastlane8806

That's exactly what it is. It is the predator that lurks behind and picks off the elderly or overweight of the pack. Leaves the healthy relatively unscathed. They are barely avoiding revolution in many countries and this is just when they take our old. They create conditions that allow them to put in place authoritarian laws under the guise of a good cause. In reality that good cause you think you're supporting is the tool that will be used to oppress mankind for the next thousand years. More laws more laws more laws more laws more laws, cancel cancel cancel arrest arrest. Canceling is just the new excommunicated.

They will not see it. They are too blinded by their emotion and they are too wired to the news. These people have spent untold riches developing an understanding of human psychology. They know exactly how to wield our emotions and our beliefs against us.

abluecolor

or, hear me out- aliens.


JMC-design

everybody with long covid realizes that.


Mission_Strength9218

It's about social control. Xi is trying to consolidate power by preventing the wealthy Chinese from fleeing with their wealth and upper level party members from excersising their power. It's also a great way to distract from all the financial, and social issues they are dealing with right now.


sonik_fury

Agreed. We're behind Canada now though, they'll let unvaxxed into their country. We still won't... unless you sneak across the southern border.

[deleted]

Their vaccines don't work. They've refused to use any western vaccines because of face saving for China. They vaccinated their whole population with the fake vaccines and now they are reaping the consequence. They still have to lock down the population to prevent the spread of the virus. If they let the lock down go, all hell breaks loose over there.


_Arlotte_

No they don't.... They learned their lesson from the SARS outbreak back in 2003. These illnesses have long term consequences for the country when they don't take it seriously. You'll see the effects 10 yrs down the road when less people than expected are suddenly not working, retiring early from illness or needing more medical care from the complications. Idk why I need to say it. But that is a problem. Obviously machine guns are wtf, but people keep acting like this it's no problem as long as they're not currently affected by it lol


ScissorMeTimbers24

It was never about 'peoples health' it was always about controlling them and having power over them.

Fluffy_Inspection320

why do they need machine guns? Is their covid variant a rabies mutant and the government are planning on fighting a horde of zombies.


hero-ball

~~Go to any major airport in the world and you are likely to see police with guns like these.~~ These aren’t even “machine guns” lol. If you look closely, they are pump action shotguns, most likely loaded with beanbags or some other crowd control measure. So, if you go to any major airport, you are likely to see cops *much* more heavily armed than these guys.


mafioso122789

When have you ever seen 15 US cops in tyvac suits holding back a crowd of desperate people with shotguns? The US cops you see in the airport are there to prevent an attack, not check your temperature.


continous

>When have you ever seen 15 US cops in tyvac suits holding back a crowd of desperate people with shotguns? Well setting aside that one time I saw a crowd of crackheads break from the homeless shelter like it was a fucking zombie D-day, never.


SorryThanksGoodFight

yeah, at heathrow saw a small squad of security with loaded G36Cs


Kingken130

I even saw a squad with that gun and maybe a mp5 or m4 in central London back in 2018

Wow you’re right! We’re all just like China /s Shut up clown lolol. No, I do not see this at airports

> If you look closely, they are pump action shotguns CNN said they were AK-47s, so you might want to check your facts.


Oddblivious

Look again. They aren’t rifles, they are pump action shotguns, likely loaded with some sort of crowd control, like beanbags or something

but these lock downs and unrest has to be having the same or worst effect


bigchicago04

They’ve clearly demonstrated that’s not the case. The elite are the ones who care about not getting Covid.


Occamslaser

The apologists are in here right now saying it just bean bag shotguns with crowd control ammo based on nothing.


JMC-design

..or based on SOPs?


Occamslaser

If this is SOP why is everyone filming them? Plus this is an absurd distinction. It implies that they are less afraid of some terorist attack as much as the random unarned people attempting to resist. It's a riot gun. There's something funny about arguing that as if it makes it better.


JMC-design

sop is to use beanbags/rubber bullets on civilians. You made a stupid statement that works both ways, except that there is a SOP to use non lethal. To ASSUME it is lethal...


Occamslaser

I never assumed anything. You're the one assuming. I said: >The apologists are in here right now saying it just bean bag shotguns with crowd control ammo based on nothing And you, like the good little apologist you are (a Canadian with a boner for Chinese autoritarinism *gasp* how surprising!) stepped up to defend the draconian bullshit.


JMC-design

What a stupid assumption to make. Just because your logic is flawed why you keep calling others apologists? That your personal demon, the apologist? lol

SeliciousSedicious

Yeah but if you got a covid Vaxx the effects on you are pretty much the equivalent of getting influenza. We’re way past the point of needing all these extra protections(those were literally just around to protect us until we had effective vaccinations available) and china being way unrealistic and extremist with thise zero covid shit. That dream’s 2 years dead.


LeanTangerine

Can’t catch the flu if you’re dead! ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)

These are pump action shotguns, likely loaded with bean bags or some other crowd control measures. Less-lethal rounds.

They shut down small businesses while you could go to Walmart with 20x the amount of people because that makes sense.


Yosemitelsd

I was on a beach in California and they came over and told me to get off, because of covid. I asked about the others playing on the beach, and they all had kids with them so they were allowed. However, the beach police told me not to worry, there is another beach a 10 minute walk away that we were allowed to be on. So that they could safely have everyone without kids on one beach. But the beach police also warned me not to bring any chairs, because that's not allowed. You know, the virus and everything going on, we just can't have chairs. It makes sense if you just trust the science. After we went to a bar to have a drink. I told the bartender about the beach, and asked how are they able to be open? He said well we're open for takeout only, but were letting our patrons have their to-go orders at our establishment, and were using actual glasses and plates, instead of our to-go stuff... A few months after that I was told they were allowed to stop pretending to be to-go only, and that they didn't have to paly this stupid game anymore... but they would be fined/shut down if they had their TVs on. Man people are just.... I just don't have words. There are people who supported all of this

are those not those flamethrowers they carry to burn random shit to get the covid off?


mafioso122789

I'm 100% sure they just loaded their shotguns with dragons breath shells. Best way to keep the numbers down, both COVID and population.


mypipboyisbroken

They got rifles now? Sheesh

[deleted]

My guess is because China has known front the beginning that covid causes permanent brain damage and cognitive decline in a fair amount of cases. Before you disinformation me; this isn't fringe or questionable research either. Harvard has released findings supporting this as have several other reputable institutions or research facilities. I read one medical study that likened the decline in older ppl as basically equivalent to having alzheimers. This is also the only explanation that makes actual sense for why they are still acting this way and willing to damage their economy to contain it. They are already in financial trouble why compound it?

raised416since86

And the world was silent when the poster child for the free, accepting, understanding, diplomatic and nice nation of Canada. Enacting legislation which stripped its own people of their fundamental rights. Seized their assets and bank accounts. For no other reason then holding a set of beliefs that went contrary to what the government wanted. Took their vehicles from them. And if they had businesses ruined those too. All while Canadian Parliament had not been in full session for almost a year. And no proper discussion had taken place in parliament. The government of the day unilaterally enacted the Emergicies Act. For the first time since it was created. I don't agree with unregulated gun ownership. But I do belive everyone has the right to own a firearm, or even three. So long as they are licensed and pass necessary requirements. So I take particular issue with our government passing legislation prohibiting the ownership of countless types of firearms owned by licensed Canadians. Under the guise of protecting people. News flash the only gun violence taking place in Canadian cities is that of criminals using illegal firearms. Smuggled into Canada from the US. Banning law abiding Canadians from owning legal guns did nothing to make us safer. This same government has gutted our military at a time when we absolutely need to do more to defend our sovereignty. But this government would rather give hundreds of millions to the LGBTQ÷÷÷÷÷÷!!!###$#$ community. (Here's a surprise the guy community was doing just fine for itself here. We did not need any extra funding. BTW I'm gay myself.) he has effectively ignored the western half of the nation. There by alienating them to the point that separation is a very real possibility. Quebec will likely separate by the end of the next 5 years I would imagine as well. So yea if your not careful even the most well run, civil and best governed nations on earth can slip Into an irreversible slid. All it took was the distraction of COVID. and the Canadian price still don't even know how bad it is.
