"'White Paper' Revolution"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3554
Welp... (siggghhh) another day, another US-cheered and instigated protest "movement" for "freedom" in China, slavishly "reported" by the
US boss' media. Hell, they've even got a cute gimmick and a cute nickname to go with it already. The "White Paper" Revolution, the wags
are calling it at the State Department, NED, USAID, New York Times,
Washington Post, and every goddamn cable news network on Earth, and it's supposedly all about some Ayn Rand concept of "freedom" from the testing and quarantine requirements of China's largely successful
public health response, which is aimed at getting as close to
completely eradicating the virus as they can get — as opposed to the
US, which abandoned the population to its own devices to sicken and
die of COVID19 to the tune of just over a million people last year.
Freedom, my ass — the freedom of ignorant, Ayn Rand brutalists whose
twisted ideas of "bodily autonomy" include no concept
whatsogoddamnever of acting conscientiously or making small sacrifices
for the public good. It's the freedom of selfish chuds who want
haircuts and ice cream, who want to be "served" no matter what the
actual human cost.
This astroturf circus isn't about freedom, it's about the likes of
Tesla, Intel, Apple and others who are impatient to literally work
people to death in China the way they have in the US for the past two
years.
