    Utopia = COVID 19?

    Has anyone seen Utopia, the UK TV series?

    The Network wants to fulfil Carvel's plan and sterilise 90–95% of the world population. They have created a similar protein, but it is not certain whether it works. Anyway, they put the sterilising protein in a vaccine for the Russian flu whose epidemic outbreak is gripping the nation in fear and panic. When the department of health orders the vaccine for the British population at large, Jessica Hyde and the group of four must try to stop the Network before Janus is released. But is this really beneficial to humanity?
    Bill Gates... COVID-19... Vaccine... Anything ring a bell?

    Similar plotline in Lone Survivor, but of course it's something that sterilizes only minorities and the evil boogeyman is again a secret underground of white supremacists.

    I guess I'm sorta feeling what black people were made to feel in the 30s and 40s when they were constantly portrayed in a negative light. I guess I just wish we could do "equality" instead of endless payback.

    One would think we could at least agree that "all racism" is bad, but I guess I need to adjust my expectations....again.

    That said, this is a rather silly conspiracy theory that was a lot more entertaining in Black Dynamite.

    I’m curious if you are forced to get a vaccine in order to participate in public life in the near future if you will consider it silly?

    Certainly times have been worse in human history but I can't help but see correlation in what's happening now. The KS governor recently mandated that residents of KS were required to wear a mask in public - luckily KS law leaves the counties to decide. When my county voted to not enforce the governor's EO, the city voted to make it an ordinance punishable by fine to be out in public without a face mask. Want to do business in Wichita? Wear a mask, and require all your patrons to wear a mask, or be fined or shutdown. Want to purchase products or services in Wichita? Wear a mask, or be fined.

    Is it the worst thing imaginable? No, but part of the governor's EO stated that mask mandates could go on until a vaccine is produced. I'm thankful that most people, at least on my side of town, are ignoring the EO and ordinance at every level, but it also means that for businesses that refuse me because I won't put on a mask I now have to take my dollars else where.

    Revenge is more visceral than forgiveness.

    Shit we can't even make vaccines we know actually work mandatory. I'm half amazed people aren't getting polio again.

    I don't require anyone's forgiveness and I'm not necessarily giving mine, but that doesn't mean we can't all just move forward under the same set of rules. And I suspect if we did that for a reasonable length of time, people would probably be a lot more forgiving.

    I'm old enough to remember when the UPC was declared the "mark of the beast" and people were damn serious about that being proof of the end times.

    I don’t think the mark is a physical item, for various reasons I won’t go into here.

    My point is that Gates is pro depopulation and Planned Parenthood, by his own words. Something to think about.

    "Times" certainly haven't gotten better SINCE its invention.
