First Dog on the Moon: Should we blame bats for the terrible coronavirus? We should not. Bats are our friends

Funnel web spiders, enormous cats, bad sharks, and snakes are also our friends.

Climate change isn't, and we should :sever: and stop being its friend.

Also stop poaching bats and pangolins and whatever else, and if we could eradicate the TCM notion that poaching endangered animals will make your dick work again there would be a lot less zoonotic diseases killing hundreds of thousands.

Perpetually a Pain.
Seriously, TCM is a huge problem for the whole world, not only for the huge numbers of endangered animals that lose their lives to poachers every year, but because of cases just like this, where zoonotic animals that are just minding their own business are suddenly forcibly introduced to human proximity where they normally wouldn't be, and it turns out something hiding inside them suddenly finds out it really likes being inside us, too.

The endorsement of TCM by the Chinese government is at the heart of the issue. As long as the CCP backs TCM as a nationalist cultural issue, propping it up and keeping it going, it'll continue to linger on, despite having literally 0 medicinal value whatsoever (the *one* TCM 'cure' that turned out to have any merit whatsoever was an ingredient for a treatment for malaria...but the kicker is, the TCM version mandates said ingredient is served hot...which destroys the active element that actually has the medicinal properties, so while it was an inspiration to it becoming, like, actual medicine, the TCM version thereof is still utterly worthless for anything. You couldn't make this poo poo up.), because Mao pushed it as a placebo when China didn't have access to, well, actual medicine, and now it's part of their 'heritage', despite the vast majority of 'treatments' being a few decades old, at most.

It's garbage. It doesn't work. At all. Nothing. Nada. It kills a shitload of generally endangered animals it wouldn't otherwise, every year. And it's contributing to the rise of future pandemics.

It's gotta go.

edit: In the covid-19 thread, many of us expressed worries that rather than ceasing the poaching and harvesting of wild animals for TCM and face-gaining meals in the face of zoonotic concerns (bats and pangolins in particular, at this time), humanity would just wipe out said wild animals, instead, because we're loving stupid. I continue to hope that won't happen, but there have been rumblings here and there of how we should go for option #2, instead, of course.

hosed up that the WHO has a global agenda, really makes u think


I was gonna go on about how twitching/listing is a bad idea in social distancing times (it involves a lot of congregating at hot spots), but the headline is literally the opposite of the actual piece:

Paul Thomas posted:

Birdwatching — which is what you’ll be doing — is very different from twitching.
...
Twitchers are slightly wild-eyed and will race off at the drop of a lens cap, armed with telescopes and telephoto lenses, to see a rare bird that someone else saw first.

Birdwatchers just wait for birds to come to them — in their back garden, on a roof terrace or, for example, out on the Kent marshes, which is where I did my birding before lockdown.

I’ve been observing and drawing birds for 35 years, since I was 12. But in lockdown, my birding has been confined to the back garden and Wormwood Scrubs.

Anyway now I've got a grudging sense of kinship with Paul Thomas, and I want to remind people that birdwatching is good as hell wherever you are. Get yelled at by a chickadee. Watch a nuthatch go upside-down. Listen to a goldfinch being an anxious ball of nerves. White-throated sparrows are still hanging out for a few more weeks in most of the US, and pretty common even deep in the city if you know where to look (underneath bushes, mostly).

There is something particularly obscene about representing the economy as a dying person when actual human beings are dying to save the economy. Something something opposite_of_reality.jpg

quote:

BILL WILL MAKE BILLIONS ON HIS VIRUS VACCINE!
Bill Gates is not a virologist. He’s not a medical doctor. He doesn’t even have a college degree. Yet through his foundation, he owns and controls vaccine makers, as well as patents on viruses including the coronavirus. He owns pharmaceutical companies. He controls medical organizations and their stooges do his bidding.

Bill’s father headed Planned Parenthood and was friends with one-world government billionaires such as George Soros and David Rockefeller. They were all eugenicists in favor of population reduction. Bill clearly stated he could reduce world population through vaccines. Sterilization elements have been put into his vaccines and jabbed into the veins of hapless African victims. His polio vaccine was used in India—often without consent—and it caused polio and many deaths.

Bill Gates and Microsoft pushed a video featuring the spirit cooking satanist, Marina Abramovic the day before Easter. Bill Gates was friends with the satanic billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Gates hates Christianity. He believes in science, and he’s corrupted it with money.

Bill Gates was never elected, but we are forced to follow his dictates through the ‘guidelines’ of his henchmen, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci. These guidelines are not the law, but citizens are fined and arrested as if they were.

Bill Gates expects us to march lockstep, submit to mass media brainwashing, and demand whatever vaccine he will roll out. That vaccine will come with a digital marker, enabling scanners to make sure we’ve all had the mark of the beast. Otherwise, we won’t be allowed to travel. At the very least, such a vaccine will accustom us to what Gates really wants us to get—an implanted identity chip that will allow us to buy and sell in a cashless society. If that happens, it’s game over. Bill Gates and his pedophile satanists will win.

Bill Gates is a squeaky-voiced computer nerd who has amassed has over $100 billion. He once tried to screw the cofounder of Microsoft, Paul Allen, out of must of his shares through dilution. Allen found out in the nick of time. Bill never apologized. That’s how ruthless and traitorous he is.

Bill Gates thinks he owns us. He thinks he owns and controls the world. He thinks we’re stupid and won’t resist.

Bill Gates is murdering monster that must be resisted at all cost. Do not take his mark of the beast vaccine!
