Robbers steal accumulated capital.
Our greatest accumulated capital are our human rights given to us by God.
Our Republic is our public means of protecting that accumulated capital from theft. I can trace robbers engaging in asymmetric and hot war to steal that Republic and our valuable accumulated capital of human rights since the time when our capital was formed in revolution.
The Chinese, the Democrats, and the rest who would destroy our accumulated capital of God given rights as codified in our Republic are but the latest ones in that long term nonstop war against us. To fundamentally change is to destroy.

Is my opinion up to me? Really? Or should I be forced into compliance under threats of fines and jail sentences, resulting in my inability to make an honest living?
I have no problem with the fearful among us demonstrating to the public their irrational fear, and their willing susceptibility to mass deception, by wearing a mask. It’s pathetic, sure, but I have no desire to force them to stop. Just don’t force your germophobia onto others, making us reluctantly pretend to be one of you, because at some point your support for the injustice of mass coercion is going to be reflected back onto you. That’s all. Get it?
You can drop out of society all together if you’re afraid to be near other people and their icky germs, and stay away from me all you want, and we’ll both be content with that.
But that’s not the way the left operates. They CAN NOT tolerate liberty, even if it’s a thousand and miles away and has no tangible effect on them. Come in to my sphere and tell me I have to do this or refrain from that however, and we’ll have a problem. See?
So don’t pretend to be all “live and let live” unless you truly mean it, because we ALL know that’s not now this works with the Romish, authoritarian “left”. And if you’re one of them, take your fake innocence play-act and peddle it somewhere else, ’cause I’m not buying it.

I have read that the only we will defeat Covid-19 is through “Herd Immunity,” the point where there are so many of us that are immune to the disease, it can’t get a foothold in the population.
At the same time, we are being ordered (ORDERED!) to stay at home, stay at a distance from each other, and to wear masks in public.

They won’t, duh. Masks protect others from being infected by the wearer. Which is a good idea, in that they still can reduce infection rate a lot, but is a much cheaper and less invasive approach than trying to lock up in quarantine everyone who MIGHT be infected.

“Masks protect others from being infected by the wearer.”
No, they don’t. Basic masks allow unfiltered exhaled air to escape around the edges (And fogging you glasses). The fancier ones have an exhaust valve which allow exhaled air an easy, direct path. Masks and respirators are meant to protect the wearer from inhaling nasty stuff, they don’t do VERY little to protect others. And even the best fabric masks are a joke. It takes a full-face mask providing eye as well as respiratory protection, using a sophisticated military-grade filter the size of a hockey puck. And even those have an unfiltered exhaust. As someone put it, wearing a cloth mask to stop a virus is like using a chain link fence to stop gnats.

At 90% of places that “require” masks around here. I just ignore the sign and only get grief from the occasional Karen. At the other 10% of places, I pull the ADA exemption card.
At about 80% of those places they nod and allow me to continue on. At the other 20% Most get a slight polite brief on ADA, Hippa and an automatic guilty until proven innocent lawsuit for $10k as provided by ADA AND if I wear a mask you will be cleaning up blood from my head hitting the floor in about 4-5 minutes.
Only ONCE has that not passed muster. And in that case, the store manager and assistant manager brought me product to examine for 1.5 hours while they also brought me water and accomodated my reasonable needs. I ended up making a purchase and the manager asked if I would be back any time soon? Not sure, why? I think you might just slip by us next time.

At this point in time, the worst robbers are the ones making the requirements for masks. And they don’t wear them.
It’s a small thing really, but unless we’re talking about people who are truly performing at exceptional levels, at the top of their game, I read “elite” in airquotes. Not one of the these people referenced, be they “journalists”, apparatchiks, government functionaries, ivy leaguers, etc. can be honestly called “elite”. The term is so overused as to be laughable. I’ll step off my soap box now…

No need.
There are, grossly speaking, two types of “elite”.
Those who have earned the title and those who had the title bought for them by their families.
Although the two often overlap, it is the former who have my respect.
The overlaps will have to work much harder to prove their worth.

I think the masks are nothing but theater, but I’m not particularly bothered to wear one right now. Why? Because no one can see me sneering at them, they think I’m one of them (excellent cover, by the way), and even when I’m wearing my green mask that says, “Front Toward Enemy,” I get nothing but thumbs up (isn’t that somehow racist these days?) and a request for where I got said mask.
At the moment, I’m wearing Christmas theme masks. Not sure what I’ll wear after Christmas, other than the FTE mask, but one thing is certain: They only think they’re winning, while we just waltz in right in front of them.

Acquiescence to their control (make no mistake, masks are about control and only control) is somehow luring them into a trap?

Yesterday there were a few posts that pointed out possible reasons we are in this farce theater. Mainly, our self anointed betters/wannabe dictators, are trying to “Do As We Tell You” to have control over us.
In April, the Chinese Covid death toll was about 8,500/day. Masks were supposed to be worn by everyone about then. In Dec., so far the peak is about 13,700/day.
I do not think wearing a mask means what it is assumed to mean.

And in that case, the store manager and assistant manager brought me product to examine for 1.5 hours while they also brought me water and accomodated my reasonable needs. I ended up making a purchase and the manager asked if I would be back any time soon? Not sure, why? I think you might just slip by us next time.
At this point in time, the worst robbers are the ones making the requirements for masks. And they don’t wear them.
Then there is this…

It’s a small thing really, but unless we’re talking about people who are truly performing at exceptional levels, at the top of their game, I read “elite” in airquotes. Not one of the these people referenced, be they “journalists”, apparatchiks, government functionaries, ivy leaguers, etc. can be honestly called “elite”. The term is so overused as to be laughable. I’ll step off my soap box now…
It’s kind of a self appropriated title. They may act as if they are some kind of elite, but everyone else knows better.
No need.
There are, grossly speaking, two types of “elite”.
Those who have earned the title and those who had the title bought for them by their families.
Although the two often overlap, it is the former who have my respect.
The overlaps will have to work much harder to prove their worth.
Spoiler alert…
They’re not.

My comment to that link when you posted it in yesterday’s ‘toon…
“Post post-modernism.
That would indeed be a Yuge accomplishment.“
Like post-apocalypse, but with at least the seeds of a Republic left for re-birth, re-growth, and re-generation…
Or, must we separate now, to save our seeds yes, but perchance to save ourselves and our children, and our Republic; at a great cost in blood and treasure and so much else…but at great savings of freedom, and self-determination, and patriotism?
We who understand these things are not alone, though it mostly seems so. That’s yuge.
I believe Ayn Rand used the word “looters” to also describe these globalist political class robbers. It was a combination of looters and moochers taking down the producers …
Who is John Galt?
I think the masks are nothing but theater, but I’m not particularly bothered to wear one right now. Why? Because no one can see me sneering at them, they think I’m one of them (excellent cover, by the way), and even when I’m wearing my green mask that says, “Front Toward Enemy,” I get nothing but thumbs up (isn’t that somehow racist these days?) and a request for where I got said mask.
At the moment, I’m wearing Christmas theme masks. Not sure what I’ll wear after Christmas, other than the FTE mask, but one thing is certain: They only think they’re winning, while we just waltz in right in front of them.
Acquiescence to their control (make no mistake, masks are about control and only control) is somehow luring them into a trap?
Not seeing it. Not wearing it. Of course I am in quasi-free America with no gov requirements but some businesses post their signs, but with my big biker-looking ass in a flag shirt and KAG cap and eye contact, no one has ever said a word.
I normally don’t wear a mask, but I anticipate a time in the near future where I will do so religiously, and change them often.
They’ve got to play merry hell with facial recognition software…..glad the left has normalized them for us already.
I’m sure the Javelon Corp. will have a “facial spatial jammer“ on the market by that time to save us from reverting to virtual facial armor. 🙂
“nothing but thumbs up (isn’t that somehow racist these days?)”
No, the OK sign is racist. Thumbs up is sexist. Hands up is anti-racist. Giving him your wallet and watch is the most anti-racist of all.
So. Anyone have any smart ideas?
I just tried three times to post a comment here using different services,
and it never showed, even for moderation or “posting too fast”.
Is Akismet editing us, Servers?
“So. Anyone have any smart ideas?”
Only that ice cold gingerale makes a great chaser for Tennessee whiskey.
Got IT!
I tried a test using a web site address for tracking information of things occurring around the world and it just disappeared again.
Forth try, slightly edited.
Yesterday there were a few posts that pointed out possible reasons we are in this farce theater. Mainly, our self anointed betters/wannabe dictators, are trying to “Do As We Tell You” to have control over us.
In April, the Chinese Covid death toll was about 8,500/day. Masks were supposed to be worn by everyone about then. In Dec., so far the peak is about 13,700/day.
I do not think wearing a mask means what it is assumed to mean.
AND the website link disappeared.
Both these comments went through multiple “your posting to fast” routines. I am a turtle typing w/2 fingers.
And of course the OMYGODWEREALLGONNADIE! spread of “cases” is the best thing that can happen among younger healthier citizens…combined with the vaccines (or not if you don’t trust that shut), the herd immunity can more quickly reach the 40% or so needed to reach the natural resistance threshold…
Unless you are old and/or sick and susceptible take that damn mask off every chance you get.
The reported covid death toll is bullshit….essentially the total deaths from everything else attributed to covid. More money/power that way.
Always follow the money/power.

Yes we know what “tool” got used on you don’t we Candy Barr?
Sorry, not sorry. Leaving, not leaving. What a prince.
Barr is just another Swamp Rat – President Trump should have filled his cabinet with people from WAY outside “the Beltway” instead of thinking he could trust some of them.
Robbers wear masks, but so does The Lone Ranger.
Also, Batman.
Please include Zoro and Puss in Boots, Best Dance off in Any Movie.
Batman is old news. All the Batsignal means now is
晚餐准备好了.
You left out Green Lantern, and Green Arrow and Speedy.
I had a stash of comics that could have put me through college and my mother threw them out. She said they were trash. She retracted that some time later when I showed her the then current price on an original Batman comic for collectors. I told her she owed me money, which annoyed her.
No, I never forgave her for that. It was my stuff, paid for with my own money that I earned raking leaves.
So while we’re listing all the good guys in masks let us not forget FUCKING CLOWNS!!!
I hate those evil p’s of s behind their painted-on masks hiding their dark evil hearts and windows to their black souls…
There are shotguns to fix that.
Emmit Kelly was the Only clown I ever liked. Saw him when i was a young’un a century or two ago.
True, a good gauge is the perfect tool for offing clowns, zombies, and various other undead. Messy though, don’t think they have blood but all that nasty makeup and shit…
WOW!
By the time I got to the bottom of the comments I had to back and re-read the toon.
On the lighter side-There is a card game called Virtue Signal and it is actually fun. The expansion set to the game is called: Virtue Signal: Deplorables and it is coming out soon, if it hasn’t already.

Wonder how big of a stocking is needed for this

So Joe got his shot.
Ironic if he croaked from that of all his maladies…would they call it covid or bad vax or natural causes or what?
Social justice I can get behind.
They’d say it was Trump’s fault.
Zar Belk!
If Joe dies, it will be of Systemic Racism. Madama Lazonga calls it.
