The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
No front in the culture wars, however, comes close to the linguistic degradation inherent in our racialist discourse and practice. The word “race” for centuries meant “tribe,” “nation,” or “people,” groups that shared a common ancestry, language, and culture, the real attributes that create a particular collective identity. In the late 18th century, “race” started being used to describe, as the Oxford English Dictionary says, “One of the great divisions of mankind having certain physical peculiarities in common,” the most prevalent divisions being “white,” “black,” and “Asian.” The shift from the cultural to the physical is the core of genuine racism.I might quibble with which is worst, but his points are undeniable. That we have moved away from cultural evaluations of the individual and are content to return to antebellum concepts of the inferior negro race is bad enough, but his finer point that Man is being reduced to the physical meshes perfectly with socialist concepts of humanity, or rather the lack thereof. The glory of the West -- both its philosophy of individuality and its embracing of freedom and liberty -- can and will be destroyed on the socialist altar of the rejection of the individual and its concomitant assumption that humanity is merely mutable social constructs. That's why they require race and class to overwhelm the individual...so they can manipulate those social constructs at will. Vile? Yes. And even as they succeeded in the Soviet Union they were sowing the seeds of their own destruction, because there is in Man an inherent desire to be unique, and by tamping that down it showed what the slaves behind the Iron Curtain were missing. Whether that will occur in communist China remains to be seen, but we can always hope!
Addendum:
All of this stuff in our current era is descended from the Postmodern philosophy and it has all coalesced around the destruction of the individual. *You* do not exist. You are nothing. There is no such thing as you. You, insofar as your particular sack of meat must be acknowledged, is merely an embodiment and extension of your group. The idea of *you* is physical. The mental you - your mind, your morality, your soul, your person - isn't real at all. You are merely a result of your social conditioning according to group markers and the privileges or oppression injected into you by them. It's quite dreadful and truly dehumanizing. You see this non-person structure in their own writings, particularly around skin color. This "black and brown bodies" crap and all similar constructions are precisely this. You are not a person. You are a merely a physical meat bag and all other attributions come by way of your group. It's monstrous. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at November 18, 2021 11:06 AM (DU+/6)

The words true and truth don't seem to mean what they once did. Or, perhaps, with the media at least, truth is irrelevant.
It doesn't matter if an accusation of racism is true. The accusation is all that matters.

And having read over the article, I think the erosion over sex and gender is actually worse and more dangerous than the devolution of race. Bruce starts off talking about sex and gender language but pivots to race as being worse. I think those two should be reversed.

The past perceptions of "colorblindness" were well-intentioned but ultimately wrong as well as a humiliating expression of the inadvertent wielding of dominant-group oppressive power. The concept of "colorblindness" strips essential elements of identity from oppressed groups. By refusing to acknowledge the distinction of the black or brown body, you also refuse to acknowledge their identities.
Colorblindness as a concept is deeply problematic. Race must be acknowledged and differences celebrated and emphasized to ensure that a healthy, whole-person identity can be built. Like how the "melting pot" concept of alien cultural degradation under the deliberate influence of cultural colonization on immigrant communities has given way to the "salad bowl" concept of distinct groups living together in harmony, "colorblindness" must yield to an identity-affirming acknowledgement and celebration of color.

Greetings:
My current thinking goes something like this.
When we discuss "race" we are primarily talking about biological characteristics, skin color, hair type, lip thickness, nose width, etc. That fixation leaves unaddressed the fact that human beings are not just biological, they are also sociological.
Until that second aspect of human existence is brought into the discussion it'll continue to be happy daze on the "race" carousel.
I would also like to recommend Christopher Caldwell's "The Age of Entitlement" which explains how the Civil Rights Constitution which began in the '60s has basically supplanted our original Constitution.

Some people will conform. Some will "go along to get along". Some will be silent in their dissent.
Misbehaving can be punished with the loss of your income, job, material goods.
Our Founders pledged their Lives, Fortunes and Sacred Honor to win independence for the nascent 13 colonies that were the beginning of the United States of America. A long time ago, while I was driving across country on the 4th of July weekend, the late Paul Harvey did an extended commentary on that. A lot of the Founders DID lose everything they had, including their lives. George Washington was particularly lucky that he was not captured or lose to the British, because he had been a British Officer in the previous frontier war with the French and Indians. He would have been hung.
I would be hard pressed to find people today that would make such a committment as their lives, fortune and sacred honor, if they had such a thing.

There's a theory that the nascent Homo sapiens was down to a relative handful of individuals because of the savage predation by another tool-using race of hominids, "wolves with knives," who not only killed the early humans but ate them as well. It required total war, but we stamped them out and emerged as the top predator on Earth.
Nowadays we call them Neanderthals.

And even as they succeeded in the Soviet Union they were sowing the seeds of their own destruction, because there is in Man an inherent desire to be unique, and by tamping that down it showed what the slaves behind the Iron Curtain were missing.

The theory takes into account hybrids, i.e., children born to human women after rape by Neanderthal males. Why the humans let such creatures live if they had any Neanderthal traits at all, when they were engaging in a total war of extermination on anything that had those traits, is not really explained. But the theory does cover a lot of bases (why we so often depict monsters as having huge eyes like the night-hunting Neanderthals, why we fear the night, and so forth).

My 5th grade teacher, this was probably 1956, taught us that there were three races. She wrote them on the board. 1. Caucasian 2. Mongoloid 3. Negroid and that number 2 was inferior to number 1 and number 3 was inferior to both 1 and 2. I, having gown up in the Army until then, politely disagreed. I've always been polite.The boy behind me loudly disagreed. She threw an eraser at him but missed and hit me. Somethings stay with you a lifetime.

If prices go up, you spend more money. When you run out of money, you cut back on consumption or change to inferior goods (which is already happening). The net result is spending more money, but not getting more - or better - stuff.
This is the very definition of inflation, you stupid bint.

If there are supposedly two people who are afraid of the repercussions of their verdict and are holding out because of it, why don't they just step aside and let two other jurors take their place?

I bet it's interesting to hear the upper echelons of Asian interest groups. Loyal Democrats almost all of them, they felt like it was their moment to shine earlier this year when the Democratic machine decided to defend them against racist attacks. They probably knew at the time that it was mostly black people doing the attacks, but they were happy to imply that it was white people because they're loyal partisans.
And yet...the messaging just disappeared all of a sudden when literally every story of anti-Asian violence had a black perp involved.
"We finally got the party to highlight one of our big issues! And they dropped it once it became inconvenient for them! Now, how much should we volunteer our time and money to help elect more Democrats?"

I don't know about Wisconsin, but in Texas the alternates can't deliberate. When the case is given to the jury, the alternates are released. They're just there in case something happens to one of the jurors during the trial.

". Whether that will occur in communist China remains to be seen, but we can always hope!"
Uh... dude. If most Americans knew what quality of life was like in the modern areas of China, even with the ugly parts, we would have guillotines set up in about 2 weeks. The PRC understands what the Dems can't/won't/don't and the Soviets never could manage, about how having the trains run on time is what maintains the 'ol mandate of heaven. I have pointed this out before - this is 2021, not 2001. China is unrecognizable to most boomers and gen xers.
They rule with carrot and stick; the dems rule with shitting bums and dildos.
Our society is collapsing into barbarism; it has been since the late 60's and it is no longer something that can be denied.

AmericanKestrel is right. I keep a paper copy around for me just to make sure I'm not forgetting from constant gaslighting measures.
Just to make/extend a fine point on the language, the term VACCINE was ALWAYS implied to yield immunity (hard immunity, like you don't catch something). Then they shifted the goal posts, and used language like "Breakthrough" to define someone VACCINATED catching it. See where this is going. Anyone who actually read the EUA app for the juice knew full well it was leaky - they SAID SO! All of the obfuscation of language was to imply it wasn't. They should have called it a "SHOT" like they do with the Flu, because it's about the same (initally).
It WILL become a pandemic of the VAXXED because the virus will adapt around it, and they (the VAXXED) will keep getting it, and getting it, and getting it due to ADE and original antigenic sin.
Make a note - When that happens, watch the language shift again!!

SH (Overturn Roe): "This is why its silly to discount him from 2024. Yes, Trump is the big front-runner, but there is a lot of time until then. And DeSantis seems to be not only doing the right things, but he is doing them in a way to garner attention."
If Trump could just cut down his ego by 25% and actually use his power to cut down his enemies faster and harder, he'd be ideal. But he won't. That's my concern.
That's not my concern with DeSantis. His temperament and approach is superior. The only question is if he'd have the gonads to buck the GOPe at a national level on concerns of the Right and "Middle". I suspect he would, but I thought the same of Trump and he was strong but weaker than hoped. Hopefully Trump primed the pump for stronger spines all around.

"The shift from the cultural to the physical is the core of genuine racism."
If you don't vote Democrat, "You ain't black". Biden said.
And if you vote MAGA, you're a white supremacist (even if you are Asian or black).
So there are rules (per The Narrative) for each race, whites being born racist, "it's in our genes" Obama said. So whites get approval (from Narrative police) by admitting to white guilt, but blacks (and "white Hispanics") must also be submissive to The Narrative (of racist "equity") ... or they are excommunicated from their "tribe" and are open to racist mockery.

Right, which is a serious problem because it doesn't work. White oppresses black, but man oppresses woman so who is higher? Black man or white woman? What about the other groups? How do you reconcile it?
The answer to this - so far - is "intersectionality" and group complex positioning, but the number of groups is essentially undefined and the combinations grow geometrically. The concept is courting combinatoric collapse as it is, and it has nothing like the needed resolution. Taken to its logical conclusion, it gets you back to the individual, but then you have a massive ranking problem. How do you calculate position based on that many parameters when they also change almost arbitrarily? You can't. Intersectionality is doomed to failure.
The exponential collapse problem is also present in rational systems like the one we used to have. We solved it heuristically: with a market.

I didn't know that "race" once just meant people with different language and practices. I always found it frustrating when people would frame criticism of a religion or culture as racism because those things aren't race. And of course criticism of fatherless inner city urban culture gets called racism, too.
It does seem that things "got worse" with the push toward multi-culturalism, which insists that all cultures are equal, when they obviously are not. It goes beyond just saying that we're the best and anyone with weird ideas is bad to insisting that no weird ideas are bad, except our own because we suck.
And of course currently we're in a situation where "white culture" magically only benefits Caucasians, while People of Color are somehow genetically unable to benefit from capitalist "systems" or merit based "systems" and are magically, genetically, suited to some weird non-existent communist state of nature. Or some shit.
Maybe I should read the article.

179 SH (Overturn Roe): ...If Trump could just cut down his ego by 25% and actually use his power to cut down his enemies faster and harder, he'd be ideal. But he won't. That's my concern.
That's not my concern with DeSantis. His temperament and approach is superior. The only question is if he'd have the gonads to buck the GOPe at a national level on concerns of the Right and "Middle". I suspect he would, but I thought the same of Trump and he was strong but weaker than hoped. Hopefully Trump primed the pump for stronger spines all around.
Posted by: AnonyBotymousDrivel at November 18, 2021 11:32 AM (aXxgO)
If the 2020 election was stolen - and the reports of a video Philly 2020 ballots being destroyed is not a good sign - there is no reason why Trump should be quiet about it. If Biden were indeed the second coming of a mythical FDR, he'd go nowhere with that argument, but with POOTUS tanking the country, what better way to get the LIVs coming around?

At some point, if holdouts will not relent, the Judge has to call an end to it. Then it's up to the Judge to choose what happens next. He can send it to a new trial, or he can end it all right there.

The answer to this - so far - is "intersectionality" and group complex positioning, but the number of groups is essentially undefined and the combinations grow geometrically
The hilarious thing is that its self-destructive. If you keep adding in more and more categories and intersectionality, eventually everyone ends up a distinct, unique individual. Like Emo Phillips' hilarious Baptists meeting up bit, if you define people by more and more categories, you inevitably end up making each person individual.

I don't think Trump was weak at all. I think sometimes people forget what he was up against. Not just an entrenched bureaucracy that was trying to stop him at every turn, not just his own party stabbing him in the back, not just a fake Russia hoax that consumed the first 2 years of his presidency and a Ukraine hoax next, not just a dishonest media lying about him and attacking him non-stop for 4 years, not just civil service laws that made it impossible to get rid of even corrupt bureaucrats but also an entire year lost to a leaked virus that shut down most of the country.
Trump's greatest strength the first time around was also his greatest weakness. He knew about the swamp but he didn't know how deep and vast it was. Now he does.
Whomever takes office in 2024 is going to be at war from Day 1. I'll take the warrior.

A fair and entirely expected point considering our history. That's what a fear with this "wave" election. The GOPe is licking its chops to get generational power courtesy Democrat failure and will promptly suck like they have for decades. Actually fear isn't the right word. Dread is the right word.

What happened the last time the GOP had generational power during Bush 43 Administration, 2000-2006?
09/11/2001 terrorist attacks, creation of TSA and DHS, two major military conflicts in Middle East, spending increases, push for amnesty.
I'm probably missing a lot. But that's a bad enough start.

It's NOT a "vaccine" in the conventional sense.
*****
Not to be contentious, but I keep seeing people making this assertion as if it proves a point.
Stedman's Medical Dictionary describes the evolution of the word "vaccine":
"...the usage has extended the meaning to include essentially any preparation intended for active immunological prophylaxis." Sure, vaccine in its original usage meant "from the cow" for the association of using cowpox to innoculate against smallpox. Even though the mRNA technology does not use live attenuated, killed or partial virus, it does use a manufactured copy of a viral particle (in the case of Pfizer, the SARS-2 spike protein) that is intended for active immunologic prophylaxis.
Can someone explain for me the line of reasoning used in saying "it isn't a vaccine" and how that is relevant?
I can understand questioning the efficacy, long and short term safety and even the morality of the mRNA technology, but I don't see how claiming "It isn't a vaccine" addresses those questions.

Next step is figuring out what to do about it. One man alone cannot fix what ails this country. Trump tried between 2017 and 2020. But he was undermined and betrayed by every institution in the country - including a lot of people who previously claimed to be "conservatives" - his entire time in office. It's great to be a warrior, but wars are not won alone. One needs an army. And one needs to be able to trust one's army to not frag him.

There's a conventional understanding of the meaning of the word relating to the use of the dead virus. This is what people commonly understand vaccine to mean.
The point being made is this is a new medical treatment as far as the general public is concerned. Referring to both as vaccine obscures this.

Vaccines give you immunity to the disease, by training your body to attack it when introduced to your body.
This shot does nothing whatsoever of the sort. It doesn't protect you at all from the virus. It modifies your body so that it doesn't react so strongly to the virus. See, what kills people with the Wuhan Flu isn't the virus so much as your body freaking out trying to kill the virus and going out of control, causing various godawful symptoms that kill you.
In theory, this shot reduces that overreaction, making it not as deadly. It is not a vaccine, and redefining vaccine to include this is not about words, clarity, or language, but politics.

Genderless blobs are the new aspiration. I spotted the propaganda in the hit game Among Us (among others) in which every character is for some reason completely devoid of gender markers.
Wait and see. You won't be able to swing a cat in a couple years without hitting a genderless blob.

Wasn't the label of race changed as the taxonomical categorization of species was becoming more prevalent as a science and this was done to categorize our species of Homo Sapiens of it's different races?
I would argue that the use of the label race by itself is not a problem. What is a problem is the auxiliary uses people have found for it and of course those who have distorted it use and meaning.

Can someone explain for me the line of reasoning used in saying "it isn't a vaccine" and how that is relevant?
I can understand questioning the efficacy, long and short term safety and even the morality of the mRNA technology, but I don't see how claiming "It isn't a vaccine" addresses those questions.
Posted by: Muldoon at November 18, 2021 11:49 AM
The common layman understanding of a vaccine has always been that it provides immunity to a virus/disease. And that was the actual CDC definition... until they changed it 09/01/21.
https://bit.ly/3ng7xvr
The SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 "vaccines" never provided immunity to SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19. Thus they were never vaccines... until the definition was changed. Yet the claim from Day 1 from the entire "healthcare" industry is that these were vaccines that everyone assumed meant that they would provide immunity.

JackStraw: "I don't think Trump was weak at all. I think sometimes people forget what he was up against..."
Not weak. Weaker than I had hoped. And there's simply no way to forget what he was up against. It was like it had never been since, probably, Lincoln. But at least Lincoln had ONE party on his side.
I just thought Trump was too slow to castrate those around him who were State saboteurs. He was an outsider and political "newbie", so clearly a disadvantage on swamp creatures, but I'd have liked to see him actual be the tyrant everyone accused him of being but actually wasn't. If he gets another bite at the apple, I hope he wakes up every day with the aim of 1) MAGA and 2) beating the snot out of every SOB who stands in his way. I want the benevolent King to grace the crowds and go medieval on the Lords.

I would argue that the use of the label race by itself is not a problem. What is a problem is the auxiliary uses people have found for it and of course those who have distorted it use and meaning. Posted by: jakee308 at November 18, 2021 11:53 AM (h4cy5)
The genetic variation within a "racial" group is far greater than the genetic variation between different groups. "Race" is completely useless for distinguishing among people in biological terms; it's a cultural construct.

A country that was never able to conquer the islands to its east. Even tho at one point the largest armada ever gathered attempted the feat once and was destroyed. Some say by the Kami Kaze but they did manage to land some ships and were soundly beaten.
I'm not concerned about what China will do. I'm more concerned who and what will be further surrendered because the Chinese are nothing if not great manipulators and persuaders. Sea and Air warfare? Not so much.

>>Next step is figuring out what to do about it. One man alone cannot fix what ails this country. Trump tried between 2017 and 2020. But he was undermined and betrayed by every institution in the country - including a lot of people who previously claimed to be "conservatives" - his entire time in office. It's great to be a warrior, but wars are not won alone. One needs an army. And one needs to be able to trust one's army to not frag him.
Which is why nobody in the country has been more active in pushing America First men and women to run for Congress. He's been building an army. There will be even more of them after 2022 and 2024.
This isn't a situation we got into in just a couple administrations. This decline has been going on for decades and it's going to take some time to get fixed. There's a lot more tearing down to be done before serious rebuilding and I like Trump more in that role than anyone else. DeSantis is my favorite to come after Trump but Trump is the leader now for me.

But, look at what didn't happen in the public eye. Ryan was able to quash a lot of the major Trump agenda items in the House - see budget/border wall for reference. But of the items that did make it through? 75% were killed in committee in the Senate. Never even got to the floor. And the denials of confirmation and recess appointments. And on and on.

In the early to mid 60s, I and my classmates lined up to receive and take orally a sugar cube on which there was a pink dot. It was the polio vaccine. We may have done that twice. I have not had to revisit polio vaccination since then, because that worked. . . .

It was just once for me. Since we never had sugar cubes at home, I found the experience of crunching the cube to be fun and asked if I could have another. The doctor grinned and said, "One to a customer."

The final step is having the guts to do what you need to do to fix it. We all know what the solution is. Someone just needs the guts to do it.
Posted by: SH (Overturn Roe) at November 18, 2021 11:52 AM
Not enough to have the knowledge of what needs to be done and the will to do it. You have to have the power to do it and enough people on your side to enact it.
Remember Trump tried to get us out of Afghanistan and the military generals outright disregarded his orders and lied to his face about what was going on.
Every institution in this nation is controlled by the left. One person is not going to come in and just say "this is going to happen" and everyone is going to snap to and follow his orders, no matter who it is. The corruption and evil is deeply entrenched in this nation. Going to take a lot more than one man and lot longer than any of us will be alive to change that.

Next step is figuring out what to do about it. One man alone cannot fix what ails this country.
That's the key here. This dream of electing the Right Man who Fixes It All is ludicrous fantasy wishcasting. Its not possible for several reasons, the main one being we didn't get here in a vacuum.
In a Democracy you get a government that reflects the culture at large. They aren't imposed on us by some outside force, we choose them because they are like us and what we as a collective voting group desire them to be.
The only way to fix this is to fix the culture. Change that, you change the leadership. In a nation fixated on self, comfort, pleasure, happiness, and temporary things, you get leadership that is the same way. It is inevitable, it is inescapable.
There is no scenario by which we elect a leader who like a movie fixes everything in a few hours and we all cheer and wave flags.

I can understand questioning the efficacy, long and short term safety and even the morality of the mRNA technology, but I don't see how claiming "It isn't a vaccine" addresses those questions.
----------------
Simple shorthand for saying it does not work as advertised.
Posted by: SH (Overturn Roe)
Simple. It is not a vaccine. It does not stop you from getting Covid, it mitigates how badly it affects you through Gene Therapy. Classic Vaccines taught your body how to fight the virus, giving you long term protection.
These shots, do not, which is why they are now trying to force boosters.
They redefined terms, literally changing the definition on the FDA website, because this is NOT a classic vaccine, but they wanted people's overall TRUST in vaccines, to carry over to this new and untested technology.

But, look at what didn't happen in the public eye. Ryan was able to quash a lot of the major Trump agenda items in the House - see budget/border wall for reference. But of the items that did make it through? 75% were killed in committee in the Senate. Never even got to the floor. And the denials of confirmation and recess appointments. And on and on.
That *is* the GOP in its most perfect form. They are the defensive squad for Team Uniparty.

At the very least, if the GOPe ends up regaining the Speakership after ED2022, a very public post-mortem of the Ryan Speakership needs to be communicated to the base. We need to at least hear what they think the problem was, and a verbal commitment to change their ways. If they can't make even that meaningless gesture, that will show that they really don't respect us. We should then act accordingly.

The Monday Morning QB'ing on Trump is still tiresome. What he accomplished vs what he faced is monumental - and the real problem is he made it look EASY.
I love what Trump did, and the Abraham Accords are still playing out in ways that Democrats hate, but he had major immovable problems. Read the Patrick Byrne book. Giuliani spent all of November and December of 2020 getting drunk at 11 AM (which the HQ can applaud) and telling Trump to ignore all of the people claiming the election was stolen because CNN wouldn't like it. Even when Trump was directly told that Rudy was GOPe-ing him to death, Trump would initially act concerned and then say he couldn't be disloyal to Rudy. That's his Achilles heel.

We need to develop adaptive means of arrive at the fundamental states that we believe are being discarded. But don't discard everything just because the left thought it up and uses it.
Just think while their economic actions will be painful and some will be damaged severely by it we are going to achieve electric vehicles and the necessary electric infrastructure that was probably not going to get done any time soon. Too many people invested in the 4 cycle gasoline/diesel engine. Of course the left will take it too far but then we'll have our turn and moderate the activities. And all the petroleum will be there for our future exploration of space so that we can get to other sources of petroleum and other resources. A look back in history one can see incidents like this taking place and the civilization advancing because of it. There are always those harmed by the changing of the cultural norms.

Quinnipiac Poll: The view of voters towards the economy is downright grim right now.
Just 26% view the economy as excellent (2) or good (24) while 72% view it as not so good (35) or poor (37).
60% see the economy getting worse against just 16% who think it will get better.

And the booster is the same shit as shot 1 & 2.

The best way I've heard it put is that you're going to reject the notion of mandatory shots for COVID at some point, so you might as well do it now when it's easiest rather than after booster #16 when it's been going for four years.

I think any deliberation that exceeds 12 hours or 15% of the amount of time spent in trial with the defendant present (whichever is greater) should automatically enter as a "not guilty" verdict.
There is something to that. Clearly if its taking you days to figure out what to declare, you do not think this defendant is guilty enough to be charged.

Personally, I think the "It's not a vaccine" argument is largely tomato-tomahto.
But then again, I get called vaccine-hesitant or anti-vax for not taking it.
Nobody bothers to differentiate when assessing my reluctance to take this particular iteration and my willing acceptance of other tried and tested vaccines for other diseases.
So in those regards, I find it useful to differentiate this as "gene therapy" in defense of the fact that I'm not, in fact, anti-vaccination. I've shot myself and my daughter full of all sorts of virus parts in the past.

prosobiec thinks 10 for innocent, 2 for guilty. Others think 4 for guilty, 8 for innocent - no one knows for sure except the jury, of course.

This decline has been going on for decades and it's going to take some time to get fixed.
Absolutely. It took the left over a century to get us where we are today, we're not going to fix this overnight. There were steps we could have taken in the past, but did not (have more children and raise them outside government schools) but that's too late now.

Yes and they conquered and ruled China and I'm sure they had Chinese generals and troops. In fact the Chinese overcame the Mongols by taking them in and absorbing them so one can say that there are no pure Chinese any more and haven't been for centuries.
Posted by: jakee308 at November 18, 2021 12:05 PM (h4cy5)
1. It wasn't that many Mongols and the Yuan dynasty was overthrown.
2. The notion of Chinese as a single group of people at that time is akin to Europeans all being one group. They don't speak the same language, they have regional antagonisms, they don't look the same, and they don't eat the same food. Are the English pure after the Norman rule?
3. The ships involved weren't designed for crossing the ocean.
Yes the Mongols used foreign auxiliaries including Korean and Chinese but their invasion of Japan doesn't provide a whole lot of insight into how Koreans and Chinese would've done things. It was a poor match-up for the Mongols to be sure, being land-locked horse nomads.

That's the point. The Propaganda has been overwhelming in convincing people this is a vaccine and only crazy anti-vax people oppose it.
Clarifying that takes away their biggest weapon of social pressure. Lifting the blocade on any information about side effects would completely change the fear quotient.
Right now most people are living under a blanket of fear about the Wuhan Flu. They think its more lethal than it is, they think its more prevalent than it is, and they think it affects more age groups than it does. SAVE MY BAYBAY!!!!!
That fear has to be flipped because fear makes you irrational and worse, anti-rational. Your brain rejects truth because it is so controlled by emotion.

RE: Rittenhouse persecution
While he deserves an acquittal on everything, a hung jury wouldn't be the worst thing. Yes, his life in hell drags on further, but the rest of the world (including future jurors) will see the absolute truth of this case. And while the prosecutions case will not improve, the defense's will.
You simply cannot get around the facts of this case and there are reams of it in KR's favor. I don't think it unrealistic to say all of it favors him.
So, yes, expense and pain of process, but not behind bars and tortured out of view. And he'll have a helluva lot more public support in spite of MFM corruption.

The prosecution's case will improve. It can't get any worse. They put on a witness that accused them of witness tampering. Another witness basically exonerated the defendant by admitting he pointed a gun at the defendant before the defendant shot him. They can add the black guy who was shot at to add a racial angle. There are a lot of ways they can improve their case. Never give the state a second bite at the apple.

Thanks for the link Clyde. From the link: "Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease"
The mistake that I see the CDC making here is also being made on the conservative side of the argument, that is to say the notion that immunity is an all or none state. I challenge anybody to show me a vaccine (traditional or otherwise) that is 100% effective. They don't now and never have existed. All immunity is relative.
So when the CDC says "a product to stimulate a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease" that is actually a valid definition. If people interpret that to mean getting the vaccine means you will never get the disease, they are misinterpreting the word immunity. So like I say, I choose to focus on questions of the efficacy and safety and robustness of the immune response rather than quibbling over the definition.

Not by the definition I cited. You may be missing the concept of "active immunologic prophylaxis", which means the immune system is stimulated to create a specific antibody and T-cell response to the targeted microorganism.
