\u201cGetting dogs to start<\/u> barking is easy. It’s getting them to stop<\/u> that’s the challenge.\u201d<\/p><\/div>The workers of the world never would unite, but they put the lie to the stories of their exploitation by getting very, very fat.<\/p>\n

That’s what gave birth to environmentalism: Free markets are clearly much better for people than “compassionate” slavery, so a new villain was schemed up \u2013 the rape of the planet. People got right on fixing all that, of course, so the goalposts had to be moved, again and again, with the threat ever more nebulous but the solution always the same: Still more government.<\/p>\n

And that was the state of play until the virus licensed a brand new fear campaign. And who can argue with the results? A full year of voluntary self-imprisonment in response to hysterically exaggerated false proxy signals.<\/p>\n

But: Is the jig up? China Joe is begging states to reimpose mask mandates,<\/a> but the fear factor is clearly gone. The virus kills people who would have died anyway and the morbidly obese. That low-hanging fruit is already gone, sadly, just as we are reaching herd immunity \u2013 and just as sunlight is becoming more abundant everywhere.<\/p>\n

Frustrated displays escalate and amplify \u2013 the maskholiness displays will get worse \u2013 and that’s a good thing. It’s how everyone eventually catches on to the scam.<\/p>\n
