Poor guy has been illegally arrested 5 times for both protesting at the Idaho Capitol Building and for trying to show up for his court summons. All because of covid measures. Towards the end he sounds like he's at the end of his rope, can't blame him.
Do you think we're at a turning point back to sanity and some of these emergency powers will finally be rescinded after 13 months of tyranny, or will we continue our slide into authoritarianism? Notice I'm not even asking if anyone will be held accountable, ever. :sadClown:

I've said my piece on the vaccine, but it's still amazing that we are 13+ months into the pandemic, 5+ months into vaccine distribution, and not only are things not getting better, they are actually getting worse in some places.
These people don't realize that they are just pulling off the band-aid one hair at a time. The virus IS GOING TO pass through the population eventually. The idea that you need to go back to "Level 5" lockdowns every time there's a small uptick is absurd.
It's at least made sense somewhat when people said "once everyone gets the vaccine, then we can reopen and let it spread." Now they aren't even saying that; they are basically saying that the vaccine changes NOTHING.

We know with absolute certainty that none of the vaccines give sterlizing immunity.
Ireland is an island with a low population density. In that respect it's in the same boat as Australia and New Zealand, i.e. eradication and a return to normalcy was feasible. Nations that share land borders don't have that option which is why lockdown policies could and did not work in the US and Europe.Why Ireland Has the Most Miserable Lockdown in the Western World
What the nation’s government is doing to its people in the name of public health is cruel — and apparently ineffective.
Gary Dempsey was born in Wexford, Ireland, and had a successful career in football (the European sort). He played for Everton and Aberdeen. After retiring from professional sports, he opened a gym, Match Fit Fitness, in Wicklow. With gyms closed in Ireland, he has been offering workouts to followers online as a way of fighting off depression.
On February 19, he unburdened his mind on Twitter about the Irish government’s lockdown policy. “I’m hurtin’ today. . . . I want to ask the Irish government, ‘When do we matter?’” His jeremiad was a viral sensation, and it’s not entirely safe for work, but probably safe for “work from home.”
He has a right to complain. Ireland is running the most miserable lockdown in the Western world. Some countries, like the United States, have never been as strict. Others, like Israel or New Zealand, took harsher and more stringent measures than Ireland ever did, but did so for much shorter bursts of time, with the aim of relaxation. Ireland, however, seems to have a lockdown perfectly calibrated to be a marathon of penitence, anxiety, and misery. A brief relaxation is followed immediately by a terrible surge in cases, and the door slams shut again. It has never been strict enough to exit more thoroughly, as has been done in Australia and New Zealand, but the restrictions of daily life over 14 months have been much more difficult and emotionally taxing than anything known in America.
The government of Ireland, was effectively, if not quite legally, handed over to a National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET). This group of doctors and epidemiologists informs the public of the government’s restrictions, and lately has even taken to publicly criticizing the public’s level of compliance.

European nations such as France and Poland are going back into lockdowns now. Ireland never left. From mid October to Easter Sunday, with nothing but a five-day respite at Christmas, the government of Ireland has had people in what they call a “level-five lockdown.” The details of this arrangement are rather shocking. No visitors to any households. You can meet with members of one other household in an outdoor setting, so long as it is not a home or garden. Only 25 people may attend funerals or weddings. Anything aside from stingily defined domestic travel and even exercise beyond five kilometers is prohibited, and enforcement was dramatically stepped up in January. That is, even a 3.11-mile run is illegal. After some hemming and hawing, the government also admitted that saying Mass publicly is an offense. One note of difference from America, however, is that Ireland’s schools have been running.
The Irish government’s own Human Rights and Equality Commission issued a report in late February warning that the government’s empowerment of NPHET had made it “difficult to maintain effective democratic oversight.” It rebuked the government’s attempt “to secure the quasi-legal enforcement of public health advice, in a manner that may infringe the principle of legality.” Effectively, Ireland’s public-health regime was only “quasi-legal.”
The misery is perhaps enhanced by Ireland’s sometimes awkward place in the world. Culturally, it is a part of the Anglosphere; America and the United Kingdom have overwhelming media influence there. Ireland’s youth often emigrate or temporarily relocate to Anglophone countries around the world for work, and so conditions on the ground seen elsewhere are highly visible in Ireland on social media. But politically, Ireland is part of the EU’s botched vaccination rollout. And so Ireland sits in the longest and most stringent lockdown in the Anglophone world, while every radio program, half of the news programs, and the social-media feeds are filling up with news about how much faster everyone else outside of Ireland is being vaccinated. In recent weeks, there have been days when the United Kingdom vaccinated more people in a day than the Republic of Ireland had vaccinated since January.
The humiliation is close to home, too. The U.K. also had absurdly intrusive lockdown policies. But now, Northern Ireland, the part of the U.K. that sits on the same island as the Republic, has vaccinated nearly 40 percent of its population. Ireland sits just at 10 percent.
Why is it like this? Isn’t Ireland a land of rebellion? Beyond voices like Gary Dempsey, not really. Social critic Conor Fitzgerald has diagnosed Ireland’s political culture as suffering from an acute case of “goodboyism,” which he defines as “the tendency in the Irish establishment to ostentatiously direct themselves towards external sources of cultural authority over and before the Irish populace.” Resistance to lockdown is associated with Donald Trump, or troglodyte Tory backbenchers. Ireland self-image is more enlightened and progressive than that. The Royal Irish College of Physicians made Dr. Anthony Fauci an honorary fellow this March. He proceeded to warn them against getting too frisky too soon. Pat on the head received: Good boy!
With some hope of vaccine deliveries picking up in the next months, there is hope of an exit. Though perhaps not in time to begin salvaging Ireland’s desperately stricken tourism and entertainment businesses this year. Even now, more major sporting events, such as the UEFA European Championship football games, may cancel their Dublin dates, owing to the country’s inability to crawl out of lockdown.
On Easter Sunday, a priest said Mass on the rocks of Achill, where the Mass was said the last time a government in Ireland made saying it vaguely criminal. Two men in Dublin, both getting their 5k of exercise, met and brought lilies to the General Post Office, which was the site of Ireland’s great rebellion in 1916. They were conscientious men who would have no truck with lockdown skeptics. But, for this patriotic act, they were hassled by the Guards. “You’re not exercising.” In fact, this gesture was an exercise of sorts. Commemorating that place on that day in Ireland summons people to contemplate the “unfettered control of Irish destinies.”
You know it's bad when a foreign newspaper is the one of the very few criticizing the Irish government and critically analyzing the state of woke Irish society. Don't be surprised if the Irish government blocks all criticism or dissenting views and creates a firewall similar to that of China's for any wrongthought outside the nation.
Having a strict lockdown combined with making all inward travel subject to quarantine may have worked, but they never even attempted it. Instead semi-permanent restrictions on people's movement and right to associate while leaving the borders open. Why? Because the Irish nation is ruled by globalist cucks who couldn't even conceive of putting a halt to immigration and international travel. The only good outcome that has come from Covid is the halt of mass migration into some western nations. Both Australia and New Zealand are benefiting enormously with booming economies and rising per capita income levels.

So our ever useful government spent millions on a campaign to get famous people to make ads for vaccinations (calling them "Impfluencer", as "Impfung" means "Vaccination" in German). One of them, famous TV show host, got the Coof now.

So here's how my day went.
Woke up at 6:30, had my brekkie and preworky. Did my workout, shoulders and arms day, felt nice and juicy. Great start to the fuckin' day. I can just feel it, today's gonna be nice.
Get a text saying I have a package in my PO box, it's my new jeans. They're fuckin' mint, I got a $260 pair for $49. It's called fashion honey, look it up.
Time to get my vaccine, J&J. I drive a half hour to some high school gym, wait in line, and get my shot. Feel nothing, just waiting the 15 minutes to pass so I can go home.
Then the chick sitting right in front of falls over and has a fucking seizure. Straight up, no bullshit, falls over, spazes out, and doesn't know what happened when the army broad askes her some questions. Apparently she wasn't epileptic, or whatever.
So, my personal theory is that this is just some more women moments, but either way she can't sue anyone, and better have insurance for the ambulance ride to the hospital.
What do I know, I should just trust the science.
Dumb bitch putting a damper on my day. Women, am I right boys?

Email from uni (to the shock of literally no one) today said they're still requiring masks and social distancing and I imagine all the corporate stores will require them, but today I went with my mom to a skincare clinic and nobody there was wearing them. So I imagine it will largely be a large corporation VS private owned/family owned stalemate for a while until we all get shut down again or the elites decide the game is boring now.

You know what really gets me about people pushing for vaccine passports? Imagine if a business or event did this for any other reason. Say a coffee shop said, "alright, we'll only serve men who have been circumcised, drop those trousers so we can take a look," or a movie theatre said, "we're only allowing entry to patrons who've had their appendix removed, so you'd better have a form of proof that you've had that done." That would be insane, no? A company has absolutely no right to demand access to private medical information. But it's totally okay to demand people have their privacy invaded for the Kung Flu, right? There's absolutely no way that allowing random companies/people access to your medical information could possibly be a bad thing. Are people so infatuated with the vax really so blind and/or selfish that they can't see how demanding people disclose private information like that is wrong?

I see nothing wrong with vaccine passports for international travel. Lots of people get sick while traveling, and while it's seldom fatal, it often makes one feel miserable for days. They shouldn't be necessary domestically, though.
