The Fauci Play
    #26584025 - 04/07/20 01:21 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Here's a little bit of political theory:

1) Coronavirus outbreak passes peak in a couple weeks, cases start declining slightly.

2) Dr. Fauci is immediately and publicly fired over Twitter.

3) Trump announces huge subsidized donations of hydroxychloroquine, or whatever the remedy du jour is to hospitals. Depends on who gives drumpy money that day.

4) Trump claims credit for the "miracle cure" as the numbers start decreasing.

I saw on the news the other day that #firefauci was trending on twitter.

Certain people love to just turn their brains off and give into blind faith, usually in the people who care the least about them.

If it's faith in someone who deserves it then it's probably not blind.

Are you insinuating that Trump deserves blind faith?

Quite the opposite. The reason people invest blind faith in those who care the least about them is because if someone cares about you and helps you they deserve faith.

Cases have started declining slightly, though we're still number one. And of course the firing is being floated already.

  Do you know who Larry Nasser is ? He’s a doctor that helped young girls become Olympic champions . Blind faith is how he was able to rape them . I don’t think anyone deserves it for any reason .

"deserve" was a bad word for me to use. I may just be digging myself into a hole, here, but what I'm trying to say is that "blind faith" is a tautology. Supporting someone who's actively working against your best interests has to be done blindly because you have to ignore everything they're actually doing and saying.

If I said I believe Biden will do everything he can to implement medicare for all if elected despite every word out of his mouth indicating he has no intention of doing so, that's blind faith. If I said the same thing about Sanders that's not blind faith, that's just me believing he means what he said. I guess trusting that a politician (or anyone, really) is telling the truth is a form of blind faith, but that's a pretty steep slippery slope irrelevant to the current conversation.

Larry Nasser I wouldn't say is blind faith, but an active coverup. You think the gymnasts being abused by him were thinking "I guess this is ok since he's a doctor and I trust him"? No. They were abused, members of the organization covered up that abuse, and the gymnasts gritted their teeth and dealt with it to fulfill their Olympic dreams.

I think trusting what a political says in the absence of evidence is a form of blind Faith.

I trust Bernie to implement M4A not because he says it, but because he's been trying to do it for the last few decades.

I believed that drumpy would fuck up repeatedly not because he boasted about how great he was, but because all he's done is fail and get bailed out by daddy.

I believe that Biden will be a largely forgettable, but decent president because he has a history of shutting up and letting the smart people in the room talk.

Do you realize that you're applying one logic to Bernie and the exact opposite to trump?  You think Bernie will succeed because he's failed for decades.  You think Trump will fail because he's failed for decades.

They've failed for extremely different reasons, though. Better to say you trust Sanders to try to implement m4a because he's been pushing universal healthcare for decades while I trust Trump to fuck everyone over for his own gain and dodge any responsibility he can because that's been his business model for decades.

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Fauci walked it back and said among many things that Trump didn't rely mitigation he was forced into that statement. Fucking stupid to ask Fauci a hypothetical that could force his hand saying Trump didn't do wrong.

Covid deaths are commonplace, they need to move back to another piece, palace intrigue.


--------------------
“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Trump retweeted the #firefauci hashtag yesterday and today the White House says it’s just media hype that trump is thinking about firing Fauci. 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, I like how the official party line is that yesterday's party line is fake news.

"We have always been at war with Eastasia"

Quote:

There was, of course, no admission that any change had taken place. Merely it became known, with extreme suddenness and everywhere at once, that Eastasia and not Eurasia was the enemy. Winston was taking part in a demonstration in one of the central London squares at the moment when it happened. It was night, and the white faces and the scarlet banners were luridly floodlit. The square was packed with several thousand people, including a block of about a thousand schoolchildren in the uniform of the Spies. On a scarlet-draped platform an orator of the Inner Party, a small lean man with disproportionately long arms and a large bald skull over which a few lank locks straggled, was haranguing the crowd. A little Rumpelstiltskin figure, contorted with hatred, he gripped the neck of the microphone with one hand while the other, enormous at the end of a bony arm, clawed the air menacingly above his head. His voice, made metallic by the amplifiers, boomed forth an endless catalogue of atrocities, massacres, deportations, lootings, rapings, torture of prisoners, bombing of civilians, lying propaganda, unjust aggressions, broken treaties. It was almost impossible to listen to him without being first convinced and then maddened. At every few moments the fury of the crowd boiled over and the voice of the speaker was drowned by a wild beast-like roaring that rose uncontrollably from thousands of throats. The most savage yells of all came from the schoolchildren. The speech had been proceeding for perhaps twenty minutes when a messenger hurried on to the platform and a scrap of paper was slipped into the speaker's hand. He unrolled and read it without pausing in his speech. Nothing altered in his voice or manner, or in the content of what he was saying, but suddenly the names were different. Without words said, a wave of understanding rippled through the crowd. Oceania was at war with Eastasia! The next moment there was a tremendous commotion. The banners and posters with which the square was decorated were all wrong! Quite half of them had the wrong faces on them. It was sabotage! The agents of Goldstein had been at work! There was a riotous interlude while posters were ripped from the walls, banners torn to shreds and trampled underfoot. The Spies performed prodigies of activity in clambering over the rooftops and cutting the streamers that fluttered from the chimneys. But within two or three minutes it was all over. The orator, still gripping the neck of the microphone, his shoulders hunched forward, his free hand clawing at the air, had gone straight on with his speech. One minute more, and the feral roars of rage were again bursting from the crowd. The Hate continued exactly as before, except that the target had been changed.

Here’s another example.

Yesterday: “The media is overblowing the virus to crash the economy to make me look bad.”

Today:



He’s completely shameless. literally nobody on the planet thinks the media (except Fox) was minimizing the risk.

According to diaper donnie, he didn't know that his own twitter account was saying he should #firefauci.

So, either he's so retarded he can't remember the last few hours, or he's a puppet.

Sounds like something Trump would do but the thing is, cases won't start decreasing. Our measures aren't intense enough. Case growth decreases, yeah, but not cases.
