    Reminder:

    Even if we eventually find conclusive incontrovertible evidence that the virus came from a chemical weapons lab in wuhan and was deliberately unleashed against the world:

    The United States didn't have to end the lockdown. They didn't have to open up the schools. They didn't have to approach any of it the way they did. They did all of it because line going up was more important than human lives, in stark contrast to china's zero tolerance policy of COVID.

    These deaths are on capitalisms hands no matter what these dipshits want to try to write in the history books.

      The US never even had real lockdowns to begin with.

      It's wild how after having an explicit policy of "let's infect all of our children with this novel virus with no mitigation" and finding out that the virus savages all your body sysems including your immune system people still won't admit that the current totally unprecedented wave of respiratory viruses causing severe illness in huge numbers of children is because we collectively offered our children up to Mammon.

        The kids are sick because we (cruelly) kept them away from the delicious viruses for 3 months causing a very real, not fake immune debt. Not unlike school lunch debt, they must pay with their lives and future circulatory system health unfortunately.

        I'm sure the death toll of children in communist China is much higher because their kids don't get sick like our brave beautiful kids but they diligently told everyone to keep it a secret. Sadly, they don't have camera phones in China to document the pandemonium so we only know what we can see on Radio Free Asia.

      Yeah, it would be the equivalent of knowing there are missiles inbound and deciding not to set of the air-raid sirens.

        I built a $30 million nuclear bunker, but if I had to choose between surviving the nuke or buying the latest Burger King Hot Cheetos Mayo Chicken Burger, I'm going with Burger King.

    the most horrifying thing is being able to accurately imagine the horror and then watch it come to pass.

      Had a conversation earlier where I said we should have done a real lockdown like China and the people I was talking with said that China is having all of its problems now because they locked down and didn't achieve herd immunity and I'm like...motherfuckers, there would be millions of more people dead if they hadn't locked down! But then again, no one seems to give a shit about the million plus people who died in our country alone, so I don't know what I expected.

      Talking about COVID with most liberals genuinely makes me feel crazy. It's like we don't live in the same reality.

          Nope, turns out the unstable virus with no evolutionary pressure except to become more infectious, which causes stacking damage each infection, does not have an easy immunity solution.

    Dear Eternal President Xi Jinping,

    I have successfully convinced the people that masks don't work to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We won't be doing lockdowns or contact tracing or anything else. Don't worry, this will not compromise my position, I've got them eating out of my hand, even if we take out a million of them they'll still be singing my praises. Death to every settler-colonizer Amerikkkan, and glory to Communism.

    Your humble comrade,

    Dr. Anthony Fauci

    Dear Dr. Fauci,

    This is the first contact I have ever had with you. I have no idea what you think you're doing but please stop this madness immediately. The deaths of random Americans do nothing to further the aims of the Communist Party of China or communism in general, and in fact makes our efforts to contain the virus here more difficult. Please advise the Americans to wear masks, and see the enclosed documents for our scientists' recommendations for containing the spread of the virus in your country.

    Sincerely,

    Xi Jinping

    Dear Revisionist Scumbag,

    I can plainly see that you have no interest in ending the kkkolonizer menace. I previously believed you were simply waiting for the right moment to launch the nukes, but I now realize that you're such a liberal that you probably haven't even considered it. In light of your lack of commitment to the cause, I will redouble my efforts and kill as many of this worthless, reactionary population as I can possibly manage.

    The only REAL Communist,

    Dr. Anthony Fauci

      it just makes voc look more ridiculous and illegitimate

      considering it's literally a propaganda institute (think tank) created by the US government with unanimous bipartisan support right after the fall of the USSR, it couldn't look any more ridiculous, but that doesn't matter. Fascists just tell big lies and reactionaries lap it up like dogs.

      Yeah, this is an easy way to convince normal folks that the whole thing is a farce. "China virus" is crank shit, and even if someone entertains that it's another giant leap to "all worldwide deaths are because gobunism."

    People will blame a virus and every death on it, even if they are in those flawless flawless capitalist countries, even if those capitalist countries ignored COVID because "LAWL who cares?" on communism because they are too stubborn to admit America might be wrong on something.

    But everyone and their mother denies the Holocaust because they 6 million people dying in the world's most well-recorded genocide that was part of one of the worst tragedies in human history is mathematically impossible (even though they are proud that they did it and no one is stopping them from celebrating)?
