    "I have completely single-handedly come to the regrettable conclusion that covid is a bioweapon developed by the CCP to destroy western culture. I don't trust anything the MSM says, I'm a free thinker who isn't swayed by elite narratives. I gathered all the underlying ""information"" on my own and didn't rely on State Department press releases."

      Also:

      I'm not racist, I'm just opposed to le ebil totalitarryan CCP -> I don't hate Asians, I just distrust the Chinese -> I can't tell the difference between any Asians so I suspect all of them

      Who could have seen this coming? :liberty-weeping:

        This is what is so baffling to me. Do they think Japanese-Americans are Chinese Nationalists? Do they just not understand the difference between China and Asia? Do they not know that Asian immigrants have been settling in the US for hundreds of years?

        The only conclusion I can reach is that lead poisoning has destroyed any capacity for logic or rationality.

          It's the same mentality that led to Sikhs and Indians getting attacked at the peak of the anti-muslim hysteria surrounding the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. They were brown therefore they were just lumped together by the racists.

          I'm kind of taken aback by the number of people that I know that still refer to anyone Asian as Chinese :yikes-1: :yikes-2: :yikes-3:

      also I agree with our media that COVID isn't a big deal, lockdowns are tyranny, and COVID is mild and has a low mortality rate.
