I saw this graffiti on a sidewalk in
Los Angeles: "Covid-19 is real! Trust the experts, not the
perverts!" Translation: If
you refuse to panic, you're an enemy of science. You're on the side of
"perverts" -- by which I assume the author means Trump and his
supporters.
I saw leaflets posted on palm trees:
"Hey covidiots! This is what you look like without a mask!" Below
the words, a caricature of a grotesque man sneezing vast amounts of
phlegm. Translation: If you're too selfish to wear a mask to protect
others, do it for selfish reasons -- so others won't know how ugly you
look.
Covidiot is a
portmanteau of Covid
and idiot. If you disregard the panic-mongers, and want to end
this economic lockdown, then you're a covidiot. There's hatred
in that word. Hatred behind that graffiti and those leaflets. The
authors have lost their patience with you. Covidiots are monsters,
spreading a deadly virus. This is not open to disagreement or debate.
Free speech is dangerous. To the gulags with you!
I've seen the hate in the faces of
pro-lockdown protesters. Alleged health care workers, wearing masks
and dark glasses, arms crossed, blocking cars in the street. Grim
faces and belligerent stances. An online commentator suggested they
were not actual health care workers. Anyone can rent a green smock.
Antifa, perhaps? I understand the masks, by why the ubiquitous dark
glasses?
Everything in modern America soon
devolves into partisan politics, especially when touched by Trump.
It's not his fault. It's a symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Even
after Trump opposed sending troops into Syria, the Left called him a
fascist. What sort of fascist wants to recall troops from
foreign countries? Now Trump wants to reopen the economy. So anyone
who agrees is a Trumpster, a Covidiot, an Enemy of the People.
Mayor Bill DeBlasio urged New Yorkers
to
inform on people who violate social distancing. Those are Soviet
tactics. And a recent Rasmussen poll showed that
36% of Americans are
happy to oblige. They must love feeling like a Bolshevik cell block
leader. Remember the scene in
Dr. Zhivago, when a sour-faced
block warden bullies the good doctor, daring him to disagree with her?
That's how Covid Nazis must feel.
Covid Nazi is the right term. While Nazi initially referred to National Socialists, popular usage has
expanded its meaning to include any controlling bully or petty tyrant.
Consider
Seinfeld's "Soup Nazi," a chef who required customers
to stand in designated spots, and use approved phrases, when buying
his soup, or be banished from his eatery.
In Britain, it's now customary for
the entire nation to applaud the National Health Service
every Thursday at 8 p.m. It's called "Clap for Carers." An act
of revolutionary solidarity against the virus, I suppose. People once feared not applauding Stalin. Today, Covid Nazis are monitoring
who's not clapping for carers. One woman was
publicly shamed on
Facebook for not joining in.
As small businesses and the middle class
suffer from this lockdown, many globalists, oligarchs, elite -- call
them what you will -- are
reaping huge profits. Governments don't spend
trillions of bailout money without much of it going to those with
well-connected lobbyists. Like the Patriot Act, the CARES Act passed
so quickly, it's as if special interests had it all written out, years
in advance, just waiting for the right crisis.
But far below crony capitalists are
the
useful idiots of the Deep State, who think they're fighting the
very rulers who are pulling their strings. Move-On, Occupy Wall
Street, Antifa, and Covid Nazis. Petty thugs who live to bully,
preferably with a veneer of moral justification. And in secular society,
such justification comes from political and social causes. Think of
all the bullying regular folks endure from in-your-face activists,
shrieking that they're only harassing you "to save the environment" or
"to help the children." Now it's to save humanity from Covid-19
extinction.
Even children enjoy being bullies.
What brat doesn't want to be Greta Thurnberg? Sassing off to
adults always feels good, and doing it to fight Big Tobacco or climate
change gives
brats license to be as rude and mouthy as they like. Brats not only have
permission to call adults covidiots. Teachers, politicians, and media
stars praise them for it.
If you're not panicking, and ready to burn down
the economy and surrender your Constitutional liberties to fight
Covid-19, then you are robbing the children of their future. Yes, I
know.
Global cooling, nuclear war, nuclear power,
Alar,
Acid Rain, AIDS, global warming, and rising sea levels should have already
killed us all by now. But this time for sure.
