Liberals just can't seem to understand excess mortality. There's no politics involved; it's just tracking the birth rate and death rates over time. Every time I bring up excess mortality its met with heavy resistance. Baffling.
Anglos are incapable of accepting their governments suck despite how much they complain about how much their governments suck. It's :brainworms: all the way down
On the other hand, “liberal democracies” stage eternal duels, and offer voting as a pacifying ritual every four years or so: Democrats vs. Republicans, Liberals vs. Conservatives, Labour vs. Tories, etc. Every election is the most important election. Figureheads and partisan pundits are always “tearing each other apart” publicly, in elaborate and spectacular kayfabe full of scandalous barbs that make their way to the front pages. And then, in the evening, those same rivals go on have drinks together, send their kids to the same private schools, and “put aside their differences” for important transcendental matters such as war (for) and the environment (against). [10]
The result of this grim state of affairs is that the oppressed classes understandably become deeply cynical about the entire notion of “politics.” Or, to put it in terms of political tendency, regardless of who they vote for at the booth, they begin to become dyed-in-the-wool Libertarians; “incompetence of government” becomes their main transcendental political truth. This becomes especially apparent when they discuss the choking and overthrow of the government of other peoples, in Venezuela and Syria and Korea. Normally, disillusionment with one’s government would lead to demands for better government, or different government, but Westerners are so ingrained with the idea that theirs is the best government, that instead they reject the very idea of good governance altogether. And so the masses learn to passively embrace the encroachment of private corporations over all aspects of the economy and indeed life in general.
They understand it when its none of that, and is instead a convoluted and nonsensical equation that says China has definitely had 30 million covid deaths.
