There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal. While the first is the condition of a free society, the second means as De Tocqueville describes it, ‘a new form of servitude.’

Packing To Peaceful Counter-Protest Against #BlackLivesMatter
My fellow Americans, if and when you’re planning on peacefully counter-protesting the #BlackLivesMatter sorts, remember to pack the basic essentials.
And remember, you need not counter-protest in direct opposition to BlackLivesMatter sorts and/or their “allies.” You can, much as they do, peacefully counter-protest in their neighborhoods in order to make them more viscerally understand your pain and outrage.
It’s a saddening and maddening things that Steve Kelly’s political cartoon, while meant as sarcasm, is actually just the simple truth. The Left, now the mainstream of the Democrat party, honestly believes that they’re fighting fascism instead of bringing it about in America.
And far worse, it’s likely that the majority of the sorts that are part of- support, ally with, or generally agree with #Antifa and similar terrorist organizations are beyond redemption, recovery, or re-education. This is made even more likely due to the Democrats having normalized and mainstreamed their agenda and actions. Indeed, what was the “Far-Left” now seems to define the entirety of the Democrats’ platform.

Y’all need to get over it and get over yaselves while you’re at it. Learn to have some fun with things instead of getting your precious panties all wadded up. Have some fun!
Oh, and y’all need to stop lighting shit on fire! Y’all gonna need something to burn when President Trump gets reelected, ya hear?
Yes! Let’s put COVID-19 and the Coronavirus in a purely objective context, paired against our more normal and largely here in the West ignored lethal diseases. COVID-19 daily kills 1.85% of what tuberculosis kills and, more significantly here in the West, COVID-19 kills only 5.45% of the seasonal flu kills each and every day during flu season.
Now, I’m not saying to take no precautions whatsoever, I wasn’t even against a short-term lock-down in heavily infected areas, e.g., my own New York City. The lasting panic and resultant “protective measures” enacted by some in government seem ridiculous though – worse than ridiculous, dangerous.
Think of the precedent that’s we’ve allowed being set in that same purely objective context. Does anyone really believe that these same government bodies won’t expand their actions to “combating” the ever-so more lethal seasonal flu, especially if a coronavirus vaccine isn’t in widespread use before flu season starts in approx. 4 months?
Life after quarantine has likely taken hardbodies away for the foreseeable future, but has ushered in the time of the curvy, softbodies. So, some good came of the coronavirus panic.
Face it, I’ve made a few points abundantly clear over the many years: I am not a dog; I am not a necromancer; and I feel many hardbodies are just presenting different, healthier symptoms of the same mental disease the fashion victims suffer from. So yeah! I’m more than happy that these are the days of curves and soft, feminine forms.
However, that being said, I’m a firm believer in diversity in beauty and I find little point in arguing matters of taste, especially when my own tastes are more guidelines than firm rules. Hence, I do miss the hardbodies and hope they make a quick comeback.
