Ok, I don't think HN points work that way (might be wrong, and don't really care). I meant points in a generic sense. But if you read back in our thread, I think you'll find that I'm contributing substance in every comme

If you want a dark, weird take on this, watch Zefrank's YT video: Teddy has an operation. https://youtu.be/AdYaTa_lOf4

I concede that you brought up Iraq first. Does that win you points or something. I am thoroughly aware of recent US history. I watched that clown Colin Powell disgrace the US with his "evidence" of weapons of mass destruction befo

I didn't say Obama was a neocon. He inherited the war, but it was engineered by neocons like Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz. I don't think it matters much who's president. There's clearly semi-shadowy decision making behind the

This is amnesia. The neocons thought they could export US style democracy to the Middle East and Central Asia. They were wrong, morally and practically. Also, the Taliban did not attack America. Al Qaeda, led by OBL, did. Now the Taliban is

Actually, opium production went up in 2001 after the Taliban lost control. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_production_in_Afghanis...

Yes. The only thing more dangerous than being the USA's enemy is being its friend :(

Yes, thank you :)

Yes, 'nothing'. We are all going to get this virus eventually, with or without vaccines. And, no. The virus would have killed mostly retired, sick people, initially creating a burden on health systems, then releasing a fair amount

Oz is part of the 5 eyes. The West in general, but especially the 5 eyes (anglosphere) have been waging an economic and propaganda war on China since Obama "pivoted east". Anti Chinese rhetoric in Oz media and from their politicia

No, I have not had much success at all. I agree with you. Most people don't even want to think for themselves, sadly.

I know it's not considered cool to say, "I told you so", but I did :) So we've had almost two years of business and social destruction for nothing. We will all get this virus and let's just hope a variant that evolv

No, I'll wait and see. I think probably the virus is more dangerous than the vaccine (official figures certainly claim this). The virus is, however, not particularly dangerous. When there is extreme pressure for a certain course of a

This is how government is supposed to work. If an industry or enterprise is detrimental to the interests of the vast mass of people, break it up.

Nope. The virus can already spread among vaccinated.

The lockdowns, and media promoted fear and hysteria are the pandemic, not the virus.

"In the 2010s, [Parallel] was first backed by In-Q-Tel, the venture capital arm of the United States’ global spy agency, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)." No thanks.

It's stuff like this that makes me see the US justice system as batshit crazy, evil and vindictive.

You should not have been downvoted. I grew up in apartheid South Africa, where I also learned to recognise government propaganda. I have also been somewhat surprised by how gullible people are being. But I've seen it before several tim

People have become obsessed with disease and risk. Wonder what caused that ;)

Not if I am buying. I'd rather eat less meat, and when I do, it's organic, naturally fed and free range.

It's never going to be over until we accept the virus is going to be with us forever and people will die that might have lived a bit longer without the virus. The lockdowns are doing more damage than slightly elevated death rates (espe

Sadly, people who continue to promote hysteria are the reason why this "crisis" will never end.
