    China Wuhan Virus Pandemic

    Being a corporation has nothing to do with it. Being a corporation that has paid its bribes to the political establishment and has their favor, now that is the key factor.

    They will certainly try to ramp Covid fear back up again. How successful they will be, that remains to be seen.

    China Wuhan Virus Pandemic

    The more important question is how many would refuse that order? If the military refuses to protect the government from the people, the people will not need the military to help them tear it down.

    God was willing to spare Sodom if just ten good men could be found in the city. America has a lot more than ten good men left in it.

    Corruption and abuse of authority is endemic to the human condition. Christianity is not 'far up the shitlist,' though the Catholic Church and its many heresies is, as well as some heretical Protestants like John Calvin. The distinction is that these people can be called heretics, because...

    It's funny, isn't it, how all the most brutal regimes of the last century have sought to stamp out religion, and enforce state atheism. As long as there are religious institutions that hold power, be it hard or soft, yes, people will try to use such institutions to gain power for themselves...

    We live in such different world, I don't even know where to start trying to communicate effectively.

    China Wuhan Virus Pandemic

    You're both assuming an argument on my part, and ignoring my point. Yes, bad things happened during the protestant vs catholic conflicts in Europe during the reformation and renaissance. Tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands died. Then atheism began to rise to prominence, and tens of millions...

    This is an interesting alternate history and all, but it doesn't actually answer my question. Not that said question was directed at you in the first place, but it's fascinating how you're trying to blame Christianity for things which became rife once Christianity was rejected. Certainly, there...

    No, actually, atheism really, really is exactly that excuse. When you turn morality into a matter of personal preference, it's as easy as changing one's opinion to morally justify literally anything. There's a reason that all the great butchers of the 20th century were atheists, and it isn't...

    I am willing to let bygones be bygones, as soon as every one of them admits they have proven themselves unfit for any position of power and influence, and resign from said positions. Once they're just another average citizen with no particular power to screw up everybody else's life, I'm...

    “Being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting Covid-19.” That. That right there. A court has ruled that 'vaccinated' no longer means 'vaccinated.'

    This is less 'to task' and more 'make them answer questions.' Actual consequences is another matter.

    That's the sort of thing I want and expect to hear from him. He may still be proud of the rapid vaccine rollout, but he never supported mandate, and that's the most important part.

    My girlfriend did. It was really nasty for one day, crummy for a couple of days, and then she was pretty much recovered.

    That's part of the issue; there are political divisions within the CCP, and Xi humiliated himself with how the Olympics were run, making him... not necessarily vulnerable yet, he did a lot of successful power consolidation over the last ten years, but in less of an impregnable position than he...

    You presented one link, which doesn't even necessarily support your argument, and no other evidence at all, just a slew of very drastic claims. Then you not just insult people who don't agree with you, you claim they aren't even capable of having an adult conversation. I'm sorry, is this...

    You're going to need to substantiate this. Marduk already kindly gave just the tip of the iceberg on reasons why Earth is capable of supporting massively more than it currently is; what have you got?

    The Earth can easily support at least 5-10x its current population of humans, before you even get into space-based stuff. The idea that the Earth's ecosystem is at some fragile point that overpopulation will collapse has been BS from the start.
