The Rolling Stone comes out as a lockdown skeptic, joining Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, and other people you used to think were cool before they...became...counter-cultural?
I mean...we're talking about Mick Jagger and other rock icons, not exactly conservatives, coming out against lockdowns?
What can it mean? Maybe that being forced to stay locked up, muzzled, jabbed, and increasingly surveilled is...inconsistent with the freedom they represent.
That generation is now old, but some of them sure don't want to participate in this fearful, stodgy, controlling old attitude.
Not the Rolling Stones, but certainly from the same generation:
OK, it's not totally clear that he is a lockdown skeptic, although it does seem reasonable to read the song that way. See:
Never mind that widespread, enthusiastic hostility toward policing as an institution, together with official Democratic tolerance of violent rioting in inner cities loosely directed at police, has resulted in a 33% rise in murder.
Never mind that in Chicago alone, from 2020 to 2021, that will mean a rise in murders from approximately 769 to 1023, i.e., in that city alone, these righteous causes resulted in the deaths of ~254 more people. Most of them, of course, were (will be) black.
Black Lives Matter!
Source: the CNN article says there was a 33% homicide rise in Q1 2021. If this rate continues throughout 2021, then since that Chicago had 769 homicides in 2020, they'll see ~254 more murders this year.
That was just before he released this video, in which he is portrayed first as being corrupted by the serpent in the Garden, then as an angel falling all the way to Hell where he has sex with Satan (in the video). YOU'VE BEEN WARNED:
Twitter's refusal to stop this horrible crime taking place on its own website looks delibate, considering—well, just look: thenextweb.com/socialmedia/20…
This is not just the opinion of a few people. Russia has threatened to block Twitter if they don't "take steps to remove banned content," including ch!ld po4n: msn.com/en-us/news/tec…
I mean, it's a fair question. If companies are pressured to cancel/block content for racially insensitive depictions of people, for criticizing trans ideology, for being by Clarence Thomas during Black History Month, for being a conservative forum, etc., then why *not* cancel...
...the Bible? The Bible advocates against gender equality, says slavery is OK (well, it does, sort of), recommends brutal treatment of adherents of pagan religions, threatens nonbelievers generally with hellfire, and even has God commanding genocide.
