if people were taking their own precautions, thinking themselves of wearing a face masks then the government does not have to force these measures onto anyone and it shouldn't be seen as taking people's freedoms away but it should be seen as wanting to keep everyone safe

It's lengths people have gone to for a virus with an over 99% recovery rate that makes me think people are living in fear.

You talk a lot about fear Alf but it often seems to me that it's all just different types of fear. Yes there are people who are over-the-top fearful of Covid and live in fear of it ... but honestly, likewise there are people who are clearly also living in fear - of the restrictions (and vaccines, etc.) - in a really over-the-top way. Seems quite clear that those people are also scared. Just of something else . Lots of fear going around. Not enough people just moderately and accurately assessing the situation for what it is.

i don't think there is enough discussion on the effect the last 2 years has had on mental health, and the implications of it will go on for decades.
Fear is very real and it has been perpetuated and exacerbated by the media. The world needs to be weaned off from this fear ... whatever the manifestation of it is. It's the single most important aspect and also the aspect least discussed. |

I guess where I differ from Alf is that I think all of this damage has been done because no one knows what they're doing and everyone including the experts have just been running around flailing their arms and trying to look like they're in control of the situation. I think it's 95% incompetence... whereas a lot of the "theories" that go around about it try to suggest that it's all deliberate and there are sinister people out there with grand master plans for all of us. I just don't think that's the case. There are selfish, greedy people (politicians, corporations, etc.) muddling through and looking out for their own arses first and foremost. The level of dedication and organisation that would be required for it to be some huge illuminati plot ... ... I just don't see that anywhere. I find that almost scarier to be honest. That it isn't "bad people who know exactly what they're doing". It's just that absolutely NO ONE has any idea what they're doing. That has become abundantly clear over the last few years. The world has clearly always just been "muddling through" and getting by on a wish and a prayer ... no one knows what they're doing, no one is in charge, everyone is ****ing winging it. That is terrifying. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 29-11-2021 at 10:25 AM. |

I think China have plenty of sinister motivations and some worrying intentions but what stops me from entering panic mode about China is that something would have to change incredibly dramatically for it to be an actual active risk in The West. Why? Because they have been very clear for decades about wanting Taiwan back under direct control of China, and the same with Hong Kong, and thus far they have been unable to make that happen with Taiwan and whilst they now technically have control of Hong Kong, the day-to-day reality is that life in Hong Kong remains extremely westernised and doesn't even come close to resembling life in most Chinese cities... and that doesn't look to be changing any time soon.
So if they haven't managed to make a power grab on these things, that are right on their doorstep, have basically zero relative power, and they've been openly seeking for many many years ... I find it extremely unlikely that they're suddenly going to achieve world conquest. They have far too many issues domestically to even begin. They are massively reliant on other nations for food and even water supplies for example. This is why they're always been content to let Taiwan continue self governance whislt insisting that it isn't a real country. They COULD take it by force - it's not in their best interests when they can just say "It's still part of China so there.". They can't realistically expand their borders at all let alone start marching west. |
