What is it with all the commercials, ads and media referencing this "new normal". Hell, even my towns small school used this term when setting up online courses to finish the year.

Are we being conditioned?

And if yes, what for?
 
I think it's getting closer to "Mount-up" time. Cuomo is already telling upstate N.Y.'s private hospitals, "give me your ventilators". He and the mayor, have been using this term, for damn near two weeks now. Yes, he has to pay market value for them, but, it all starts with compensation, then it ends up being, "give me your shit, serf!" IMHO, I think communism has finally made it to our shores folks. Watch TV lately? looks like a Chicom documentary, people wearing masks, streets mostly empty, nobody laughing, or smiling, totally grey looking. Reminds me of my trip to East Berlin in the 80's.
I feel that the "conditioning", has started. Mac:(

I hear you. What frustrates and concerns me is when "mount-up" time rolls around sites like this will be shut down. I fear it will not be possible to ring that bell.
 
Hopefully (but not likely) it’s just a buzz word/phrase, very similar to how “normalcy” or “return to normalcy “ was overused after 911.
We lost much freedom with the magical creation of the NSA and DHS. Judging from the $$$$ “Stimulus” that most political types were eager to pass, it’s very likely much more freedom will disappear under the guise of virus protection.
 


The take away from the above article:

Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization health emergencies program, spoke Friday about getting from the crisis to the post-crisis.
Ryan talked about "transition strategies" and said each country needs a strong public health architecture, a massive investment in our capacity to do surveillance, contact tracing, isolation and quarantine, and a robust information system so that people know what to do and where to go if they are sick.
 
Communists and socialists want you to understand that when they win the next election you will live in a police state.

In their world, you will only go outside when ordered by your party masters.

You will eat whatever foods the party decides to sell you.

You will watch whatever TV the party decides to show you...............................enjoy more homosexual love and deviant behavior specials like "Tiger Homos".

You will be allowed to work only when and where your party masters decide and you will only receive what the government decides to pay you.

No free travel outside of your hometown............................you only travel when and where your party master wants to send you.

No private property.................if you own equipment the party deems necessary they will come to your home or property and seize it with no recourse.

No free speech...............if the party decides it goes against party norms for accepted speech.

No free sharing of information...............only party news lackies will spread party news, like the imaginary Corona virus scare. Still killing far few people than diabetes but no one cares.

Oh, this is a world wide movement by the Chinese communists in conjunction with the Democrats in america and leftist parties in every country who are hoping to more formerly align with their Chinese overlords. Keep watching and hoping that Trump and what few remaining conservatives in American government can stop this attack on our freedoms.
 
IDK, its just this "new normal" term is being parroted everywhere.

I hear ads on the radio using this term continuously. Ads on TV, articles, media puppets...

Perhaps just a catchy phrase that people picked up on...wonder the origin of this phrase..?
 
With all the conspiracy theory, entitled, self important, useless BS about a dozen or two particularly offensive douche bags have shat all over the Hide as of late, my “new normal” is made all so much more pleasant by way of quarantine-related use of the ignore function!!!

Sorry for the interruption, now back to your regularly scheduled counter productive bloviating.
 
On a lighter note...I'd be glad if the "new normal" is all the older men at my office washing their hands after they crap and/or pee!!! Oh, and flushing!!!!

Weren’t they also saying that the new normal was terries blowing shit up. And we were supposed to accept that as well?
 
Do you honestly think Trump would play along with changing to the "New Normal" if it was authoritarianism and total control of the populous? The stock market is in shambles. He has lost millions. The country is tubing. I really dont think he wants this and he would know if it was some democrat plan to destroy him. Nope. I think China did this on purpose. Killed enough of their own to be able to play victim with the rest of the world. China plays for the long game. 3,10 generations. If this is what starts the destabilization for the next generation to finish then they did good a job.

If you can’t see what’s right in front of your face......
 
What solution?


Fight communism and socialism everywhere, all the time. Refuse to support Democrats and other forms of leftist scum for any reason. Boycott leftist businesses like Progressive insurance, Levis, Costco and Starbucks. Follow the beliefs of Malcolm X and use your money as political power, refuse to engage in businesses that work against your rights and freedoms.

And STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS FOREVER.
 
I think 'most ' people said this a year ago . The closer it gets to this Nov. election, the crazier it going to get . Guess what ? , we got more off-the-wall Crazy coming in the next 6 months .

if like me ? . completely Stop watching and reading the Media news on Internet and TV . and It Is all gets pretty fucking sweet and back to normal.

USA 1776-2020 we are at 244 getting close to a significant change just around the corner. Who's to say they change can't be for the better? Realistically I think things are going to be for the worse. I'm a magazine half empty guy.
 
IMO, This whole situation will act more as an "awakening". The people like us already knew the dangers of authoritarianism but those who typically vote democrat that dont necessarily subscribe to leftism will see the importance of true freedom and especially the 2A. We have already seen that part with 80% of gun purchases in the past 2 months being 1st time gun owners and a lot of them being former gun control supporters. People are going to get sick and tired of not being able to move freely and do as they please. They might start to see the writing on the wall and vote and behave differently for the better. This is giving people a taste of what the true left wants for the future when there isnt a big bad boogie man virus out there.

What I'm more pissed about now is the "official" death toll. People shooting themselves in the head or jumping off buildings, or murder victims, car crash victims that happen to test positive for covid19 are being deemed killed BY covid19. That cooks the books and makes the numbers look really lopsided. I'm not saying that covid19 isnt dangerous or deadly, but this system is making it seem way more deadly than it is.
 
Hmmmm. Will there be different color masks for the different classes of people? Wouldn't that be cool? Any one caught wearing the wrong color when stopped and asked for their papers could be jailed or put on a public works team or even given an education class as to the importance of "Why we are in this all together".
 
Now that the left realizes they can shut down the economy as a political tool against their enemies, I can see it being used again when it's politically advantageous for them to use their fascist tactics again. The virus may be real, but we've seen others kill many more. The overreaction to it is wherein lies the latest 'hoax'. Notice that of all the states left which haven't been shut down by their governors, they all have republican governors. MSM is nearly giddy when they report the bad news, eg unemployment, and still insist on asking their gotcha questions. We should all be immensely grateful we have someone who sees it for what it is, and stands up to it. God help us when he goes.
 
The time to mount up has long come and gone. Nobody is coming to save America or you. Lol.

Much of this "emergency power" that the right now fears was practically begged for by the more authoritarian faction of the Republican party post-9/11. I was in a strongly libertarian phase of my political development then, and was broadly ridiculed by people who I thought would be fellow allies in the fight against repressive government power.

To a significant extent, we on the right got suckered by the so-called neocons (which, if members serves me right, were largely a bunch of ex-commies and CFR types who can fall in with certain liberals like Clinton and Lieberman just as easily as they infiltrated the Cheney/Rumsfeld wing of the Republican party). And now we're gonna pay the price.

Just remember when you listen to bozos like Hannity bemoaning the jack-booted thugs locking down the country - this is what Republicans wanted the last time we got scared by a boogieman.
 
Right now, your should practice and encourage behaviour that ensures:

A) You are alive at the next election and
B) The Left has lost more voters than the Right.

How this virus crisis may affect future rights can be discussed during Trump's second term.

If the Left wins, there will be no discussion and your rights will be gone until you man up and re-assert them at gun point.

So, ideally Covid-19 makes a revolution against totalitarianism unnecessary. Worst case scenario, the Covid-19 lock down was an opportunity to get your act together for what needs to happen if the Left wins Senate and WH.

Stop bitching and try to find opportunity in every challenge.
