If the world suffers a #BirdFlu pandemic in the years immediately following this coming #Jan20...

Please remember that the previous administration had more than enough opportunities to address the #H5N1 threat on the horizon, long before even the absurdly drawn-out U.S. electoneering cycle began.

Usian partisans will want ya'll to blame global mortality of a pandemic in the second half of this decade on the person then in office...

Rather than on the naked emperor, who ensured that there be no serious interventions to stop spread and mutation in U.S. livestock—lest attention to such distract from boasting about ending a pandemic, from the first half of this decade, that still has yet to end.

Nero doesn't get to blame Galba, just because the second conflagration was slow to start.

@beadsland Bird Flu should have been addressed when the first herd was diagnosed. Why was it ignored? It really all comes down to money, am I wrong?

@GraceC

It comes down to belief systems.

This includes belief in a social contract that promises those of #perquisitive #classposture that if they make the right choices, they get to have all the choices (cue "All the Things" meme). That social contract was violated by non-pharmaceutical interventions in 2020. The trauma of that violation of autohagiographic contract has yet to be addressed.

This includes belief in the electoralism that is Usian #KayfabePanto, whereby ballot-holders are activated to cheer for the audience friend, the face, and jeer the baddie, the heel. The audience friend, even when playing at being emperor, naked on stage, is only ever to be group-chanted into right action, never criticized openly, for fear of the bad people.

This likewise includes belief in Better-Living-Through-Chemistry™ aglithacultural scientism. This being just the latest iteration on the scientism that Rachel Carson wrote a whole polemic against; yet that we keep retracing each generation.

What does aglithacultural mean?

@[email protected] Cultivation of affliction, coined here: https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112255506114867344 An industry devoted to the rent-bounty harvest of illness, which requires that sickness be maintained, lest there be insufficient yield for future harvest.
