They've already told you what they're doing. And they call you the terrorists, the fascists:

"We are working day and night, around the clock to make sure their lives are as miserable and difficult as possible."

"Oh, but I'm not alt-right!" you cry.

Yes. Yes you are. We all are. Conservatives, moderates, liberals, normal people who don't have anything to do with politics. We're all the alt-right to the left. All it takes is a disagreement on ideology, or policy issues, or our existence.

"We're trying everything we can to ensure these people are not given any breaks in life. From preventing them from travelling abroad... to closing down their bank accounts... encouraging members of the public to throw food stuffs at them."

Sound familiar? It's happening to you.

Today's trip to the grocery store: a thread.

Lots of treadmills just hanging out on ships off the coast, apparently.

Good thing people don't need frivolous extras like groceries, huh?

The life expectancy in 1521 in Europe was between 30 and 40 years of age. The poorest people ate mostly bread and beans. They suffered from plague, tuberculosis, and an assortment of other maladies in addition to cancer.

Today, you can buy a ten pound bag of chicken for $6.98.

This brings us to an interesting linguistics point. In the Middle Ages, because poor people couldn't afford meat they couldn't raise or catch, only the rich ate the better cuts of meat. The poor could raise a few chickens, and pull some fish out of the river, but not much more.

In England during this time, English was a dying language—the third most spoken in the land. Latin was the language of the educated, the scientific community and such, and French was the language of the nobles and upper class folks. Only the poor spoke their native English.

A THREAD: The research, study, or theory that bona fide human treatment, medicine, or vitamins would not hurt, and may indeed help fight COVID-19, followed by the resulting reaction from media and government. We start with...

UV light treatment vs. "Drinking/injecting bleach."

Hydroxychloroquine vs. "Fish tank cleaner." (Conflating hydroxychloroquine with chloroquine phosphate, a completely different chemical compound.)

Ivermectin vs. "Horse dewormer." The media took this false narrative to such a frenzy, conflating Nobel Prize-winning, prescribed, human ivermectin with veterinarian-grade medication that the U.S. FDA even jumped aboard the mockery.
