Who Will Hollywood Scapegoat For China?

[BjornP]

As for the OP, which country will Hollywood pick as scapegoat? Well, if they go with a country that won't offend Chinese Hollywood-backers, they will pick Vietnam. Those two don't have good relations and current Vietnam's comfy with the US government.

Don't think they'll pick a country as much as a theme, though, which will probably be "Racism".

Good point. North Korea can be used as enemy as well.

True, they have the added bonus of both being a pain in China's ass even if they're officially friends, not being popular with Americans generally, and specifically to progressives it's unpopular-by-association to Trump after his failed attempts at sweet-talking NK's only guy with excess fat.

NK's only guy with excess fat.

That shits funny

[Montegriffo]

Yes

I don't think it's that simple.

Anyone deliberately causing a crowd at the height of a pandemic is risking not only each other's lives but also those of the rest of the community.
I wouldn't necessarily arrest them as that would put police
officers at risk.
I'd barricade them in and not let them out again until it was safe to do so.
That or go full Oradour Sur Glane on their asses.

Free Speech Hater strikes again

How you get to free speech from a public health matter is beyond me.
If the congregation need to hear the sermon they can do it safely on line.
They can also pay their weekly contribution to the Lord by PayPal, which I suspect is the main reason churches are so desperate to get bums back on pews.

Freedom of assembly and religion is free speech in nations that actually know what the hell free speech is, dumbass

If they want to give Sermon's online, and shut down public gatherings on their own, that's fine, government enforced shutdowns is a clear violation of free speech

You could argue that it's warranted in a national emergency, but you can't argue it isn't free speech being infringed on

I just did, in one simple truth...

No you argued that it had nothing to do with free speech because public health, besides they can post sermons online

Still a violation of free speech dumbass, you just wouldn't know what free speech is if it slapped you in the face, and prefer the government to shut down speech you don't like or don't like the timing of

The vast majority of congregations shut down and switched to online services only, without government orders to do so anyway, but you have such a government intervention fetish you only trust when it is done that way

I'm glad the individual states have a lot of lea way on determining what is right for them individually. We are seeing a wide variation in responses. Proto Tyrants like Whitmer in Michigan are just pushing to see how much power they can amass. While others are far more mild.

Not sure how this guy is threatening public safety

Yeah, haven’t seen anything like that in Ohio. At least in my area, the cops are just giving verbal warnings to people having big parties. Michigan is still a burning shithole.

[Speaker to Animals]

If you really want to torch them, SNL could do a skit where a mob of peasants demand the quarantine be lifted in the Black Death, but put MAGA hats on them. That's basically what we are seeing right now and it's fucking insane.

When did you become a soccer mom? So quick to hand your freedoms over to a bunch of goddamned bureaucrats?

I would put them all in FEMA camps. Not even lying. Lock it down and don't open the gates until every last one of those morons are dead or recovered and enough time has passed that every coronavirus inside the camp is inactive.

Every adult who participates in one of these dumbass protests deserves to be put at the bottom of the triage in the ER. Literally every last human on Earth, no matter how old and unlikely to survive, deserves a shot at life in those ICU beds before a single one of those protesters, and if any of these protesters' children get sick within a week or so after being exposed in one of those protests, then the parents should face felony child endangerment charges.

It's called being an accountable adult. If they want to act like children and throw tantrums because they are not allowed to get a haircut, deliberately spreading the worst contagion since the 14th century, and stopping traffic so nurses can't get to the hospitals and save peoples lives.. fuck them. No ICU. Really, they belong in camps for the duration. If they survive the camp then good on them.

This is why you are a leftist marxist bitch with Trump derangement syndrome.

2016: TRUMP WILL BE AN AUTHORITARIAN DICTATOR
2017: TRUMP IS AN AUTHORITARIAN DICTATOR
2018: ELECT US TO LIMIT THE AUTHORITARIAN DICTATOR
2019: IMPEACH THE AUTHORITARIAN DICTATOR
2020: actually, Democratic governors who crush our civil liberties are benevolent & we must obey them

It was never about the constitution or freedom from tyranny it was about hatred for your political opponents. You are a bitch and a fascist and all it took was a virus to expose yourself.
As for STA I encourage him to read more Salon articles where the millennial riding on the subway to work because he is essential as a "journalist" writes an article where a red stater taking his kid to a park to play is going to kill us all. Tell us all we should listen to this government and how they just want to protect us. That is why we can't buy seeds and gardening equipment because those are non-essential but you can sure as hell buy a lottery ticket. Please buy a lottery ticket!
