Wokeness, Covid, Obesity & the DC Swamp

[saison]

I didn't seriously start thinking about this until government experts refused to mention obesity when addressing Covid, despite the fact that obesity was perhaps the most significant factor in mortality outside of advanced age or compromised immunity.

Tim Robbins Says COVID Has Become A "New Religion"

Outside my City is an Mennonite community who protest against restrictions.

There's Amish around our parts as well.

When I was working for a builder we used a Mennonite crew for roofing, they would get a whole roof done in 1/2 a day and clean everything up. We had your City Canadian lads take days and leave the clean-up for me, all the off cuts from the roof shingles. The Mennonite lads just went to work, no lolly gagging.

Mrs BigBruvOfEnglandUK used to have the tv news on when I would be eating my dinner. At the beginning of the pandemic they often had people on giving "healthy eating" advice. This suddenly stopped around April 2020 and I never saw any advice on healthy eating on the show again.

Actor Tim Robbins had a moment of clarity for once. Every couple of years there is a new faith for the faithless. A few years ago it was the gay marriage thing, then it was trans stuff, then COVID phobia/VAX love. In a couple of years it will be something else.

Billfish said this, what?, a year or two ago?, and so did I and I think some others here.

Yes, it is a religious cult, born of fear.

Indeed. I said something similar too at times. People have turned away from religion but many of them feel the need to attach themselves to something else instead.
I'm not religious at all but I'm not an atheist either. I think the world would be a better place if these people that have turned covid/climate/BLM etc into a religion would go back to their original religion instead.

I remember when you posted that, m8.
