You mean the insurrectionists, many of whom ARE now imprisoned, have had to pay big fines, all that I have heard so far have said their mea culpas for what they did and whose lives are basically destroyed?
It is not insane. Morally corrupt? Sure. But the Chinese leadership is not stupid nor is it insane. This zero covid BS has nothing to do with covid and is simply a more comprehensive version of Jimmy Carter’s “Drive 55 to arrive alive” scam. These policies are put in place to SLOW DOWN CONSUMPTION at a time when CPIflation is out of control. The leadership hopes to flatten the curve so that strong inflation doesn’t turn into hyperinflation in which confidence is lost in the con game of fake money.
When you don’t understand a thing, avoid the temptation to think that someone is “crazy”. The more likely reason is that you simply don’t understand what is going on behind the scenes.
YES. They hope to reduce demand based CPIflation, same as what powell is doing in the US by raising interest rates. They pumped up the ponzi with a clear policy to increase spending by increasing the wealth effect. Now that CPIflation has arrived, they think that they can shut it down by reducing demand. This is not going to work because they cannot raise rates high enough without totally collapsing the economy. Once the CPIflation genii is out of the bottle it is very difficult to re-contain it because the fake paper currency that most people have been tricked into believing is money is inherently worthless ALREADY. It is only by the madness of crowds that fake, unbacked colored paper is attributed any value by the poor suckers who got tricked into believing that fake paper currency is actually real money.

Lockdowns don’t have anything to do with covid. Dr. Henderson of small pox fame explained in an interview the reasons why it would not work and what would happen if implemented but Fauci and company ignored him. Henderson said it would fail to contain the disease and cause serious social problems. Now why would anyone want serious social problems and division in the US?
As for the CCP, they need lockdowns to maintain control. Protests were happening in China long before covid. If anyone does not understand by now what is going on there is probably not much hope in this life of ever being aware of how the world really works. Governments are not permanent things. They fall apart 100% of the time. Hopefully we are not living in these times but it sure as hek looks like it.
We are living in those times, and I love it! Unfortunately, most people have chosen to not understand how the world works because they are too afraid of knowing. Instead, they live on their knees and chase whatever the authorities tell them to chase. I predict true liberty will be the inevitable result of this push for the digital prison that most people deny even though it’s right in front of their ignorant eyes. From what I’ve seen, most Americans are too fat and cowardly to do anything meaningful; and most Europeans are so weak they spend their time whining about how the Americans won’t come and save their precious buns. These are the kind of people that tyrants love in their dictatorships. Cowardly, ignorant fools who will keep begging for their chains as they don’t have the cajones for liberty.
While I respect Dr. Henderson, I find that it is impossible to contract any disease without coming in contact with it, with the exception of various mental diseases. Parasites, bacteria, viruses – doesn’t matter. What matters is how complete and thorough is the lockdown.
Lockdowns have been tried for centuries. They do not work. Same goes for masks. If masks worked the CDC would have recommended them during flu season for decades. They never did or even mildly entertained using them even for elderly. Lockdowns do no work, fake vaccines do not work, masks do not work. The only thing that works is natural immunity and living a healthier lifestyle focused on not being obese. The real proof however is the southern border. It has never been locked down. Millions entering unchecked. End of the day we never had a covid problem. We have a feeble mindedness problem. Lots and lots of stupid people who can’t comprehend the government is not their friend.
Covid was blown way out of proportion by a propaganda program in the USA the likes of which nobody has ever seen.

“End the Lockdowns”
China is the evidence that there should never have been lockdowns in the first place. There was never any science to support lockdowns. The three from Stanford, Harvard, and Oxford, who authored the Great Barrington Declaration- were right all along.
Fauci and Collins colluded to smear them. They owe an apology.
Disneyland was locked down for an entire year. It didn’t prevent transmission of the Covid virus. Locked down California churches didn’t prevent transmission of the virus. Mask mandates did not prevent transmission of the Covid virus. Social distancing mandates didn’t prevent transmission of the Covid virus. Lastly, the Covid shots didn’t prevent transmission of the Covid virus, as CDC head Rochelle Walenski has personally proven. People who have been paying attention, know they aren’t safe, either.
I read an article about the 1918 flu pandemic . It spoke about an island nation, don’t remember name, that isolated and did not have a single case of the flu. After the pandemic was over with they discontinued their quarantine and guess what, the flu ravaged the island anyway. Again this was after it was over with in the rest of the world, so wtf. Basically it sounds like there is really nothing you can do except self isolate if you want and take precaautions. The fing vaccine which, I also got, obviously was probably not helpful as we have seen. I did get covid a year and a half of the initial dose, no boosters, it was nothing. I have had worse colds. I don’t think the morons in charge know what to do. I think the Swedish approach was best.
And yet those who were skeptical of the policies and vaccination in particular were accused of being fearful of “Bill Gates putting a chip in our heads” right here on this site.
I remember a video of an empty Los Angeles freeway and photos of empty streets in Downtown San Francisco. Mayor Garcetti threatened to shut off electricity and water to a business that remained open. A man who was alone, surfing along an empty L.A. County beach, was arrested. Sure looked like a lockdown.
Sweden never shut down their schools. They said the vaccine possibly posed more of a threat then not taking it for healthy children. They never recommended it for the children. So far they haven’t had any sudden death syndrome deaths from children.
I can name a dozen local small businesses that went closed down permanently over covid lockdown in California. What kind of a gaslighting kook are you?
And the so-called Covid vaccines don’t work either to prevent transmission. Yet forcing vaccination on the Chinese is what I hear on all the news stories as the solution. Most people are idiots.
Actually, by not killing the virus the vaccines turned folks into super-spreaders.
They distributed the disease while showing little or no symptoms.
No way to tell how many became seriously ill or died because of vaccinated carriers.

It will be interesting to see who breaks first.
XI and his absurd Covid policies on an outbreak that’s been over for 2+ years now.
The will of the people over being unjustly locked up over an outbreak that’s been over for 2+ years now.
My money is on the people. Once mobs get sufficiently large, there is no way to control them until they’ve run their course. Attempting to arrest and/or kill tens of thousands will only make the mob that much larger and angrier. Ending the lockups will diffuse the situation even if it causes loss of face for XI (likely he will be toppled politically).
Xi did manage to put down the K protests w/o a large amount of deaths. The head instigators all got thrown in prison. The same will likely happen China. Chinese people are in general compliant and willing to follow rules with little question, so will be easy to get back into grumbling obedience once the leaders are removed.
OTOH, Iran isn’t doing so well with over 400 killed so far in the latest uprisings.
It’s difficult to fight any government which has the army behind them.

It’s just a lot of fun and games before the dictator etc suppresses and kills their way back to the sunny face of dictatorship called “communism.” Just once I’d love to see a country that had ACTUAL communism just to see if it really worked, and wasnt just a cover for something else.
They have tried this in America with small communist compounds, but the Guru always runs off with the women and the cash and leaves the rest behind.

I wonder how well this would be going if China had a 2A. Exactly. This is the only way evil dictasters can control their citizens. You see gun control does work.
As typical a highly intelligent retort. Can’t wait until you get into junior high maybe your responses will be a little better thought out, unless of course you suffer from add. One person alone against the police, great eg. Is that whats happening over there??? Also the taliban did pretty well against the most formidable military in the world. Ask your sixth grade teacher about it maybe it’ll help you understand.
I see you guys on your little parades… masks (not for covid, but to hide your identity, because you’re so PROUD of what you’re doing), hobby rifles with all the attachments, and manboobs held back by a XXXL plate carrier. I’ve also seen you clowns arguing like schoolchildren over who gets to stand where for the photo opp. You’re instagram warriors… no different than the fat kid in high school that was always showing everybody his nunchucks and throwing stars.
The INSTANT the real cops showed up at the capitol riot, you guys waddled off like portly roaches… which was the only smart decision you made that day.
The ONLY things you roly poly warriors are a danger to is yourselves and Walmart patrons.
None of the tyrannical things that are happening in China are happening here in the USA.
That’s the reason why there is no organized 2A groups going around shooting police stations.
You cannot compare what is happening in China to the USA, because it’s not happened in the USA. If it did, yes, there would be organized revolt by people carrying actual weapons besides knives. Obviously it isn’t happening here at all because the reason for it to happen does not exist.
Wow that hurts. I can see you are not woke, making fun of obesity and midgets. You will be exiled for that. I am not sure but I might have been triggered by your comment. I’ll get back to you later when I figure it out.
If the local PD was terrorizing the people and the people got organized the local PD wouldn’t have a chance of survival. One person well placed who decided to take out officers would be able to easily accomplish that. Thankfully, Americans don’t feel the need to do so because the local PD is a friend, not an enemy.
The difference is the local PD isn’t terrorizing the people so they don’t feel compelled to organize.
The 2A is a preventative maintenance on tyranny. That the USA hasn’t had a major problem with tyranny is a sign that the 2A is operating as intended.
I do believe you have been drinking too many fermented potatoes.

Revolts against Chinese leaders are another matter because they risk imprisonment or death??
Since when?
Name one person who was imprisoned or executed for demonstrating against a Chinese leader.
We all know the names of Americans who have been imprisoned for demonstrating against an American leader, and we know the name of one executed by a cop in the process of revolting.
“Tiannamin square where thousands of protestors were gunned down”
You remember that do you? Because no other reliable source seems to. According to Wikipedia:
“… former Beijing bureau chief of The Washington Post Jay Mathews and CBS correspondent Richard Roth reported that while they had heard sporadic gunfire, they could not
find enough evidence to suggest that a massacre took place on the
Square.”
… Wu’er Kaixi who said he had witnessed 200 students being cut down by gunfire,
however it was later proven that he had already left the square several
hours before the events he claimed to have happened. Records by the Tiananmen Mothers suggest that three students died in the Square the night of the army’s push into the Square. Taiwan-born Hou Dejian was present in the square to show solidarity with the students and said
that he did not see any massacre occurring in the square. He was quoted
by Xiaoping Li, a former China dissident to have stated: “Some people
said 200 died in the square, and others claimed that as many as 2,000
died. There were also stories of tanks running over students who were
trying to leave. I have to say I did not see any of that. I was in the
square until 6:30 in the morning.”
In 2011, three secret cables from the United States embassy in Beijing agreed there was no bloodshed inside Tiananmen Square… “
It happens all the time in China. You don’t get out much, do you?
I have many friends who live in China and people regularly disappear there after protesting. It’s not announced in the news because the media is state controlled. People who oppose the government simply disappear and no one is allowed to talk about it.
It must be that Sum Ting Wong was executed last Thursday.

But aren’t anti-lockdown protesters conspiracy theorists, cranks, vaccine deniers, etc?
“How coronavirus has brought together conspiracy theorists and the far right
These protests aren’t just a symptom of public frustration. They represent a deliberate break with our shared reality…
It would be easy to dismiss these events as a random mishmash of the
merely selfish with assorted cranks, pushed together under the pressure
of lockdown. But this is not the case… and suggest that the recent tendency of fringe and conspiracist
positions to rapidly seed and burst into mainstream politics won’t be
ending any time soon”
I suspect the common citizens of China are getting very sick of Xi’s further drift towards an absolute dictatorship. With the emotional state of the average person there pretty unstable from the lockdowns and draconian measures combined with Xi’s insular style of leadership I would not be surprised to see a full scale civil war erupt there.

“At a recent anti-lockdown protest in London, thousands of people gathered to oppose what they saw as a
clandestine power grab taking place under the cover of a pandemic. Some
protesters carried cardboard signs bearing the name of the alleged
takeover: “The great reset”. “They thought they could easily get their
great reset,” one man shouted. “Little did they know! The pandemic’s a hoax!”
The great reset… this conspiracy imagines that a global elite is using Covid-19 as an opportunity to roll out radical policies such as forced
vaccinations, digital ID cards and the renunciation of private property.”
The Guardian, December 2020
Wikipedia, talking about the London anti-lockdown protests: “Several media outlets blamed online COVID-19 misinformation, denialism and conspiracy theories as driving factors in the protest movement”
Are we seeing the same messaging about the China anti-lockdown protests? Conspiracy theorists, misinformation, denialism, etc? See those words anywhere describing the Chinese protesters?

Twitter grapples with Chinese spam obscuring news of protests
For hours, links to adult content overwhelmed other posts from cities where dramatic rallies escalated
November 27, 2022 at 7:45 p.m. EST
SAN FRANCISCO — Twitter’s radically reduced anti-propaganda team grappled on Sunday with a flood of nuisance content in China that researchers said was aimed at reducing the flow of news about stunning widespread protests against coronavirus restrictions.
Tech is not your friend. We are. Sign up for The Tech Friend newsletter.
Numerous Chinese-language accounts, some dormant for months or years, came to life early Sunday and started spamming the service with links to escort services and other adult offerings alongside city names.
The result: For hours, anyone searching for posts from those cities and using the Chinese names for the locations would see pages and pages of useless tweets instead of information about the daring protests as they escalated to include calls for Communist Party leaders to resign.
I’m sure that having 5 million dead from COVID would be far better than for some people to have to spend a couple of weeks at home occasionally.
A few tiny demonstrations here and there in a country of 1.4 BILLION, no doubt CIA induced, are unlikely to reflect the will of the people. The CCP is very careful to understand how the people really feel and respond appropriately – after all, their own future depends on it. But the Western propaganda machine is now in full swing, of course.
How about the anti-America protests across Germany? Any media coverage of those? No? I wonder why not.
Not sure how you got from me pointing out the complete dishonesty of Western propaganda to me being a dictator lover.
As far as systems of government go, I see little difference in degree of democracy between the US, which has two near-identical, utterly corrupt, war-mongering parties and a state-controlled media, and (say) one-party China. And now we also have the unelected EU going full totalitarian. They say democracy dies in darkness; well the world is looking pretty dark right now.
Yep then you spout Russian agent when somebody on this thread don’t buy the WEST MSM narrative about Ukraine!!!
Since what BBC broadcasts to the USA at 12:00AM-1:00 AM PAC “LIVE” is completely different from 2:00AM onward!!! Than those stories never show up on BBC online later in the day!!!!
