How good are you feeling if you're Xi Jinping right now? Your virus has the Western world teetering on the edge of more economy-killing lockdowns. Your man Joe Biden is favored to win the U.S. presidency, largely because of the virus.
If Biden wins, the Green New Deal ends the threat of the U.S. economy forever. China's industrial domination of the 21st Century is assured. All you have to do is say you care about global warming, mumble something about zero carbon in 50 years, and the Greens leave you alone.
Under Democrats, the U.S. collapses into an accelerated version of the welfare-state death spiral Barack Obama envisioned. Never again will Americans escape from that comfy hospice room the Left has prepared for them.
Under Democrats, political violence will be normalized in America. Class and racial strife will run wild. China's opportunities for mischief-making will be limitless. Can you imagine the glee in Beijing when Biden or Harris ram through a reparations bill?
And Xi knows his man Joe Biden will drag America back into every corrupt globalist scheme Trump was pulling out of. Wallet in hand, head hung low, the U.S. will shuffle back into organizations long ago penetrated and subverted by the Chinese Communist Party.
If you're Xi Jinping, you're sitting two days away from total victory for a century to come. And what did it cost you? A slow quarter or two, a bunch of meaningless Chinese peasants roughed up and killed by disease and quarantines, a few lies about how many "cases" you had.
The Wuhan coronavirus became China's instrument for spreading its ideology - the whole world is authoritarian now, it's just a question of degree. And it exposed the vulnerability of Western democracies to panic, to exploit everything for partisan political advantage.
Decline is a choice - and with the coronavirus, China gave the West a reason to choose it. It was the most devastatingly effective ideological and economic attack in history, precisely targeted at one of the West's great vulnerabilities: politicized science.
China learned from studying the Climate Cult. The CCP was doing more than just laughing at Green New Deal insanity while it built more coal plants across the Third World. It learned how corrupt and politicized Western science has become. It saw a weakness to exploit.
Scientism is how Western democracies reconcile themselves to authoritarian rule. If SCIENCE says we have to give up our freedom, sacrifice our strength - well, we're not kneeling to a tyrant, right? We're just being smart. Otherwise we'd be Deniers.
Nothing that happened with the coronavirus is unsurprising after watching four decades of global warming ideology unfold. China knew we'd choose decline if The Experts told us decline was the smart choice. They made sure in advance The Experts saw things Beijing's way.
Now America is poised to vote China's bought man into the White House, poised to slide into endless class and race war, poised to lock down again and finish off its economy, poised to send traumatized and under-educated children into the 21st Century economic battlefield...
... a perfect victory is at hand, checkmate for a hundred years or more, literally EVERYTHING breaking Beijing's way, all at once. The checkmate move was bullying the West away from travel bans for a few crucial weeks. China had the pieces in place for that move. /end
