The Chinks in Our Armor
'''IDear Coronavirus,
If you can spare a few minutes from killing Chinese and the elderly, could you please have a go at the morons in my neighborhood who were swarming the grocery store at 6 a.m. yesterday cleaning out the toilet paper and water? If you could thin that herd, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Dave
P.S. I’m not saying lay off the Chinese.'''
Stores with empty shelves. Lines around the block at supermarkets. And Amazon—the behemoth, the “future of retail”—has suspended grocery deliveries, its stocks depleted. The current hysteria, along with proving us morons, has also shown many of us to be liars. No one acted this way when Trump was elected. We were told that Trump was going to build concentration camps and start a nuclear war and erect a fascist police state, yet funny how nobody on the left hoarded toilet paper and water. They were playacting at being scared. No one actually thought Trump would bring Armageddon.
Today, we’re seeing what America becomes when there’s genuine fear. All of a sudden Bernie Sanders’ comment about how “lining up for food is a good thing” seems a bit less endearing, because for a lot of Americans, it’s become reality.
Along with ginning up a panic, leftists are tackling Wuhanvirus by following what I call the “Dr. Acer method of disease management.” Dr. David Acer was the queer dentist who, back in the 1980s, was pissed that only gay men were contracting AIDS, so he took it upon himself to give AIDS to his straight patients, so that homos could bray about how “it’s not just a gay disease, sweetie.” Acer aced his plan, infecting a grandma, a teen, and nearly a half-dozen others before dying of the disease himself. But the plan went sideways when Republicans used the Acer incident to call for HIV testing for medical professionals. Overnight, the gay lobby reversed itself and decided that Acer’s glorious accomplishments must now be forgotten. Anyone who mentioned Acer as the origin of the mini-epidemic that spread through his office was derided as a homophobe by the lobby’s rentboys in the press.
This is the playbook leftists are using for Wuhanvirus. First, they fought against travel bans. It was important that non-Asians be infected, to show that “it’s not just a Chinese disease (sweetie).” Then, once non-Asians began getting sick, it became “racist” to mention the virus’ origin.
Domestically, Wuhanvirus is a symphony of stupidity. Cretins are waiting in hours-long lines and crushing against one another mosh-pit-style in crowded stores to hoard products that are only scarce because of the panic buying, which is only occurring because people are spooked by a disease that can be caught by crushing against each other mosh-pit-style in crowded stores.
And as Americans do the Rain Man dance, the Chinese are watching with amusement.
