Are you literally 12 years old, or thereabouts?

I do ask literally, not figuratively.  In the latter case, I should just ignore you.  In the former case, I should desist from discussing porn in front of you.  (Either-or.)

---

Edited for malapropisms and misplaced words that are uncharacteristic of me.  The same thing happened in my previous post.  I should take notice that arguing with idiots has no salutary effect on one’s own intelligence.

My reply to nutildah is re-arranged in descending order of relevance to things other than a forum argument:


Cameraphones were not around in 1949; nonetheless, they are aptly described as handheld portable “telescreens”.  Allegories in literature ranging from Homeric poems to Shakespearean plays are regularly adapted to problems and scenarios specific to modernity.  Etc...

Moreover, the They Live adaptation was not directed at Covid.  It spoke to the reaction to Covid:  Whole societies throughout the world being essentially put under mass house-arrest, under a barrage of official propaganda.  Surely, concerns about mass coercion and manipulative control existed in 1988—and such things were indeed the essential subject addressed allegorically by the film in question.  This is not about Covid, qua Covid.

For more decades than you have probably been alive, some people have been warning that governments could exploit a crisis for tyrannical purposes.  Most people blew them off as “paranoid conspiracy theorists”.  You are blowing them off as paranoid conspiracy theorists when their erstwhile predictions have actually come true.  It is no longer a matter of arguing over potential future happenings:  It is denial of present reality.

—Unless you want to argue that there is nothing whatsoever tyrannical about mass lockdowns under the rubric of unlimited peremptory rule by “emergency” orders.  In that case, we have nothing whatsoever to discuss.


Translation:  When you cannot argue substance, you argue form—and you try to flip everything on its head so as to make it look like you are taking the high road.  That is also intellectually dishonest.  I do not say that for the purpose of being insulting, but rather, as a concise and accurate description.


That’s nice of you, as to form.  In substance, you completely misinterpreted the post, and tried to link it to your American election—a matter of much less concern to the rest of the world than Americans would like to believe.

---

What we need is less fewer (edit: the pedant is must correct himself) arguments with American liberals who are currently whipped into a frenzy over their irrelevant election (which I was not the one to bring up here), and more Bitcoin porn.

By “we”, I mean “I”.

I have comedic licence to rip these cherry-picked misquotes out of context.

So, which is it?  I hear that there is a rising financial starlet who wants to know if you can be swayed to assuage her loneliness by the vast amount of Bitcoin that she makes day-trading.

No, I am not trying to incite any offensive behaviour toward the individual in question.  My sensibilities as a gentleman would not allow such a thing!  Rather, I am trolling sirazimuth, who got upset over a post that SwayStar apparently just ignored.

Updates from Brazil (Manaus) and Sweden.

Unexpected precious cost on human resources but Manaus likely reach the herd / community immunity. Sweden probably reaches what they have been looking for at beginning.

Not at all. By opening with an insult you instantly drain any desire I might have to read any further. It's actually that simple. So feel free to incorporate that tidbit into your future missives, or not; ultimately its up to you of course.

I do apologize to @Karartma1 for my crassness.


I do, and I read a few threads there from time to time, but some of the topics remain severely depressing even w/o TS. Besides, at this stage in the game I'd just rather not know the political beliefs of people I otherwise hold in high regard for their contributions elsewhere.


Well I don't. But what I do know is that covid-19 wasn't around in 1988.

How the fuck do you know what the filmmaker intended?
Consume, conform, stay tuned whilst inside (and outside), doesn't it ring a bell?



For the sake of a meme? You're getting funny now.



Perhaps not. Proper hygiene does not include locking down people, and destroying economies.

---

Which new boss has this agenda? No1, no2 or no3? <<< Your words.
Yeah, please do us the courtesy and STFU.

---

Ignore me too. Cliché.
Whenever you guys get cornered and have nothing more to add, it is always the same. Zero points for being original.

---

This trick does not work on me. Try harder.



Aren't you in charge of the Grin thread FUD? Must have stirred things up today, for you to be asking.
I have a beef, and I wield it towards any direction I please. End of story.

I'm not for sale. Relay that to marcus. And the baton to someone else.

---

Seems we almost have quorum. This is goooood.

It's actually not too bad now. It's amazing how the absence of one buffoon can improve the atmosphere. Assuming you have BADecker on ignore.

Corn up.

You started this by directing a barrage of insults at Karartma1 for his amusing joke:  “Retarded”, “Alex Jonestown” (whereas you’re the only person who has even mentioned Alex Jones!), “shill”, etc.  I am not the only one who objected—although perhaps I was the most vehement.  You then continued to grind your axe on an irrelevant point by belittling and insulting the intelligence of others generally.

I accused you of dishonestly pushing an agenda, based on your observed behaviour.  I used sharper words when warranted warranted.

Your passing this off as a matter of my insulting you is an evasive misdirection.

---

—So summarized, with links to relevant statements, for the convenience of anyone else who may be curious.  Not you.  Of course, you know who said what; and moreover, as I have told you before:


OK.

I'm ignoring you in general because you take too many words to say too little. If you start a post directed at me with an insult, and then I scroll down to see 8 more paragraphs, just assume I'm not reading it.

Have at P&S. Now that tecshare has seemingly retired (forcibly or otherwise) maybe you can become their new self-appointed god. I don't post there anymore, utter waste of time. It's all yours.

You get caught cold using bullshit twisty propaganda techniques to push an agenda, and you just ignore it?  Let’s see, what else:


This continued belittling, combined with vast leaps of illogic.  Did you read from Saul Alinsky’s playbook?

Of course, the typical ordinary individual worried about this kind of thing is not personally a target of a global conspiracy.  An ordinary individual is not worth it (unless he ceases to be ordinary by becoming extraordinarily troublesome).  Global power is.

A global conspiracy in fact exists.  Stop with the belittling, or else I will toss something into P&S that give some of the real retards there endless fuel to annoy you:  An open admission, at the baseline, of the existence of a conspiracy to destroy national sovereignty throughout the world, via dishonest covert means.  Real and verifiable (from JSTOR, no less).  Brazenly hiding in plain sight.  Just one tiny little tidbit, a bare scintilla of evidence, a verifiable quotation from someone who would know whereof he spoke...  No, I will not Reveal The Truth (which is anyway far too complex to be understood by ordinary people).

I guess no one wants to talk about social distancing black again... rats.  lol jk  

I think that she skedaddled because nobody would believe in her market calls and various claims of spectacular trading prowess.  Sort of like why she apparently skedaddled a few months ago.  Either that, or she just got too damn rich to hang out on an Internet forum anymore.

May I suggest a salutary observation of how I subsequently rolled Cryptotourist’s “off topic tongue in cheek silliness” with humour of my own, just to keep the peace between those lovebirds, instead of radiating disapproval at a quirky and insightful chap who was probably a bit peeved at SwayStar for her demand that WO be deleted as “toxic”.^*  LOL.  At least, that was my read on it.

* Original topic title:  “Should Bitcoin Wall Observer thread be deleted?”  Title and OP later edited to call instead for merits to be disabled in WO.


She was asking for it there.

By “she”, “was”, and “there”, I mean respectively “you”, “are”, and “here”, because I have Progressed your confusion of pronouns to confusion of inflections, and of other parts of speech.

No, you will not get a long post so easily.  Not even a custom title.

I'll take" Omnipotent ruler of the universe".

 

Well obviously covid is simply not as lethal an illness as the Spanish Flu, so you have to rejigger your extrapolation a bit to account for reduced lethality. I don't know what the actual numbers are off-hand but I'm sure some decent estimates are out there.

---

As far as everything else is concerned, I just think some people have fun believing they are the targets of a global conspiracy to keep them down. It somehow adds a sense of meaning to their lives if they can convince themselves they are fighting tyranny in the name of the greater good.


"This affects all of us man!"

The truth is far more boring and depressing perhaps, which is part of what makes it difficult to accept: nobody actually gives a shit about you, because you simply aren't important enough to care about.

Anti-maskers want to fight an enemy that they perceive to be threatening their God-given rights. Meanwhile what they are actually doing is fighting common sense.

Of course the law should be a bit more nuanced than that. I don't think you should have to wear a mask if you aren't in a public area around lots of strangers. But if you are, just have the common fucking courtesy to wear the mask.

So far you are correct.

Even with a big surge in the fall say 10 million on top of the first million you would still be right.

the spanish flu was 20-50 million dead with a wonderful spectacular fall surge.

the world was about 1/7 what it is now around 1.2 billion vs 8.4 billionaires or so.

So to equal the spanish flu death rates we would need to reach 140-350 million by may of next year.

a lot more then the 1,000,000 dead we have.

Still as a person that most likely survived it Back in Jan of 2020 and having 7 relatives that survived  it. From Jan 2020 to March 2020 it is more then the standard flu.

My wife is still suffering from the damage it did to Her in Jan Feb 2020.  and 3 of our other relatives were hospitalized by it.

To say you are right and  know what you are talking about would not be correct.

But by Jan1-Feb 1 2021 unless a lot of people die from know till then  you would be pretty accurate.

The spanish flu in 1918-1919 the second wave had 7x to10x the numbers of the first wave.

that would boost to 7-10 million for the covid.  But would be far shy of the 1918-1919 numbers.

I am personally rooting for 20 -25 million to die from it from now til feb 1 2021.

My best guess is 2-3 million die from it rom now till feb 1 2021 which would make you a winner in your guess.

Small wonder they skedaddled from here...
 (notice how I used the pronoun "they" ...  walls of nullius "I'm smarter than everyone" text incoming in 3..2..)



Ya know this thread has fascinated me for the past few years. It's why I occasionally chime in
with off topic tongue in cheek silliness as I don't take myself or anyone in here to seriously,
unlike many folks on this forum who believe they got it all figured out..they don't, and neither do I ftm, but anyway....

Dude.....WTF is up it with your strange never ending  beef with marcus..never figured that one out.

oooh typo. nullius you sloppy old sausage. contract tracing? maybe they should do that too

anyhow

Say what?  The altered version of the film image read, “STAY HOME”, not “WEAR A MASK”.  The difference is substantive, insofar as I think that many people who object to lockdowns and the shutdown of society would, of their own accord, wear masks.  Yet you drag a broad brush of what is hereby an inaccurate “anti-masker” label, then tack on Alex Jones and Donald Trump—plus “retarded” insults.

Agenda much?  And do you apply the same intellectual honesty and accuracy elsewhere?

Of course, I will not insult your intelligence by suggesting that you mistook simple English words.  I don’t think that you’re retarded.

---

This also has nothing to do with masks, but rather, with an abject lack of historical perspective:


Your smug contempt is misplaced.  Under various names, the “New World Order” thing has been ongoing since much before 1918.  It is indeed real, although most of the people who talk about it have no idea what they are talking about.

To obviate a potentially long discussion reaching back before the Twentieth Century, I will simply point out that the Federal Reserve was established in 1913.  (And if you believe that that was benignly intended, I have a bridge hot defi ICO to sell you...)

The public discussion of the international conspiracy to enslave the whole world has also been ongoing longer than you think.

Mentioned just for kicks:  I recall once having happened across a political cartoon in a newspaper from (IIRC) 1906 1911 depicting Karl Marx being welcomed to the United States by a group of famous American bankers and industrial magnates.  Off the top of my head, I think it caricatured Morgan, Rockefeller, Carnegie, and a few others.  Unfortunately, I do not have it handy; and I lost the reference (wherefore “just for kicks”).  I should find that again some day.  Perhaps you could help, applying those skills at digging up obscure articles from century-old newspapers.  Surely you have spent much time perusing historical primary sources, as I have?  Edit:  Thank you, Last of the V8s.  That deserves much more than +2.


No, we’re they’re trying globally to_combat a low-lethality pandemic by locking everybody up like caged animals, guaranteeing that the animals will be controlled with hunger pangs by simultaneously inflating the currency supply and imploding economic production, instituting a mass-surveillance wet-dream under the rubric of public health protection via “contract tracing”, etc., etc.  Edit:  LOL, V8s.  Yes, that was a delightful typo whereas “contract tracing” is a kind of FATF thing...

If they were just telling people to wear masks and wash their hands, and advising elderly and other at-risk people to self-isolate, then you would have a point.  Focus on the IF.
