Yes but enough about Trump, what about the WHO?

Get you piece of Accuse me of racism again on the basis of a post that has nothing to do with race and I will

To be fair, insofar as Trump downplayed the effects of the virus to a far greater - and more deadly - extent than the WHO, it'd only be consistent if ...

I dunno, I'm not super well versed in the American presidency. They probably all are, given that America has always been an imperial warmongering nati...

Also, Obama is a war criminal who, like the current administration, served the interests of the rich and powerful - his shameful bailouts being repeat...

There's merit in that. It seems like the WHO were indeed initially too worried about stepping on China's toes (including a pathetic display where rath...

Culture is an object of social reproduction and does not spring ex nihilo out of nowhere. Culture is shallow, fragile and anemic, not deep, and it is ...

To be honest I think it's deeply ingenuous to place the focus on Trump's personal failings. It's both a distraction from his politics - which in the e...

Yet the point is that a great deal of those infections - and correponding deaths - were likely preventable. They need not have happened.

Government-loverboi NOS will be relived to hear that Trump just off-the-cuff mentioned the possibility of suspending congress. Not that Trump would do...

It's not the worst idea. Only it ought to be coupled with repayments from the US for the damage done for their imperial endeavours in the last 100 yea...

Why the rhetorical questions Vega? Blaming the WHO is meant to deflect attention to the total failure of Trump's leadership and give fodder to his ser...

Yes, I care about getting things right :) But do go on about how much the state sucks while you fellate the head of state...

You mispelt entertained, bootlicker.

^ Anti government nutjob licks balls of head of government.

The response is basically: there is no better world than the one we currently inhabit, and any effort to make it better will end in disaster. This, ev...

What could this possibly mean as a response to the fact that the poor and the non-white are being infected and killed off at higher rates? Does realit...

Anyone who wants to keep responses to this 'apolitical' is doing nothing but endorsing the hyper-politicised situation that exists on the ground at it...

Of course, that's not to say that ideological responses ought to be discounted. They should be put front and centre too. Like the fact that the bailou...

It goes beyond this even - a pandemic like this is immediately political not only because of politically and ideologically motivated responses - respo...

Anyone who doesn't see these issues as immediately political is a dupe, and all the more a victim and willing participant of shitty politics for it.

Reality doesn't give shit what you accept.

It isn't. That's the point.

These two sentences literally contradict each other. Read: sentence two is wrong.

Quoting from Anthony WIlden's System and Structure: " points out that what he calls the prima facie digital behavior of the neuron is a simplification...

As for NY, its largely been screwed by its leaders and continues to be screwed even as they put up a concerned, heartfelt face to the very public it f...

No worries, I regularly do the same :)

Don't bother. I've told Frank this previously and he spewed some irrelvent babble in response.

:up:

What in God's name are you rambling on about? I made a comment about the present being-fucked-of-Sweden with no reference to 'how the pandemic will pl...

That time is now, and it's being told in all its deadly repercussions. The bodies will not wait for you to spin your tidy little yarn.

What this reply has to do with your initial post is beyond me. Probably because it is entirely irrelevant.

What? The whole point is to note the difference in outcomes that follow from differences in approach. This is as stupid as staying that you can't comp...

lmao Guess the conspiracy nuts are out now.

As for Sweden, it is predictably getting utterly fucked: "Sweden has not only the highest rate of fatalities per capita, but also the total death toll...

Also the EU breaking up, or at least being totally, utterly restructured, might be quite a good thing. It's an anti-democratic enforcer of neoliberal ...

Yep, yep, yep.

Unfortunately coronavirus threads are as infectious as the disease itself. They need to be contained otherwise they spread through the forum and kill ...

One of the things that attracts me to thinking-for and thinking-with is precisely that they make thought a matter of transindividuality in the first p...

We'll see how your eggdar is.
