If they make a sequel to Watership Down it should be called Warren Peace
It would be a better name than Starsky In Hutch
But you probably shouldn't see it in the theater if you're angoraphobic
The inevitable legomorph:

"Freedom" was only ever an armistice between elites, a sort of incidental DMZ that we later mistook for a park

The average person is terrified of freedom, resents others when they have it, and loves to see it hoed under
The Magna Carta is a good example, and there are many others like it. A couple of nobles get strong enough to bring a king to heel, and they carve out some principles that look like freedom

But the masses themselves are incurably bovine:
A conceit of modernity is that b/c capitalism put the peasants into luxury and allowed them to buy degrees, that they sincerely hold liberal values

But today's college grad is still a peasant at heart. He still wants to throw salt over his shoulder, propitiate Gaia, burn witches

Another day, another lying doc going mega viral

Arkansas has oodles of empty ICU beds

It's like they don't know we have access to the data
I love the casual lie at the end for extra points

"Hello, Neighboring State? This is Arkansas. Have you any beds? No? Drat!"

By the way, all the neighboring states have tons of hospital capacity too
I just called a Unity Health hospital in AR and spoke to a "nurse manager" in ICU. She flagged down her boss, who claims there is currently 3% spare ICU capacity in the state.

97% ICU utilization is what used to be called "a busy week"

Who's running the "Libertarians Posting their L's" account? Image
Charles is among my favorite living thinkers, so it's odd to see him turn statist in the foxhole of COVID hysteria

His book "Rebuilding Liberty Without Permission" argued for mass disobedience of regulation, and "What It Means To Be A Libertarian" argued for a minimal state
Here he calls for deregulating health care "at all levels of government". I'm not sure how you do that while still having POTUS bully airlines into creating a medical apartheid: Image

I am going to brag a little:

Last summer our local PD had dune buggies that I could *just* outrun at a moderate sprint. Every day they'd chase me down the beach, every day I'd elude them

Red faced, they sprung for a fleet of giant fast expensive ATVs, and I had to stop running
For a brief time, they were operating both fleets in tandem:
And I didn't stop running entirely, I just started running laps in my condo's parking lot

Then the board told me I had to stop b/c it was a health hazard (!)

So I kicked up some fuss, and it was eventually agreed I could keep running laps, so long as I wore a shirt (!)

You'd think after a year of practice, some of these docs would be better at lying.

There is no ICU in the world with "several" previously healthy 30 year olds "at deaths door" due to COVID
Are we really going to recycle every debunked Karen trope from 2020?

What's next, wringing our hands about the 2021 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally?
The doctor claiming to have seen two previously healthy 30yos "at death's door" for COVID works at The Christ Hospital in Cincinnati

That hospital hasn't had a single COVID patient in ICU since January:

1\ A fair amount of Woke liturgy is correct, but for based reasons that the Woke don't perceive

E.g. the notion that we should stop teaching Western history is correct, but only because you can't appreciate the miracle of the West by studying it directly

Let me explain...
2\ For most kids, "history" is a couple of weirdos nailing things to Church doors, followed by more weirdos in silly hats and buckled shoes who enslaved noble savages to grow some crop that nobody alive has ever seen

It all has the feel of a bad oil painting
3\ On the other hand, imagine approaching the West from the other direction, from pre-history and from non-Western modernity

Imagine really internalizing that putrid meat was a staple food in most places until recently:
