@lovelymiss The Declaration of Independence states specifically: "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

Well, I hereby revoke my fucking consent.

The Mad Pirate :verified: ( Stephen Mallory mode: ON ) @TheMadPirate Stop saying that people are collaborating to fight the Wuhan virus out of “selflessness”, “altruism” or “empathy”.

STOP IT!. They are NOT.

People are donating money and resources out of self interest, out of the fact that, as a global pandemic, the virus can very well kill them or their family members.

As a matter of fact, nobody in the west cared much about the Chinese virus when it was killing mostly asians and middle easterns. People in the west didn’t freak out until the virus reached Italy, because it was no not a threat to them.

So no, there won’t be a new “global communism” or “newfound global solidarity” out of this, because there is no “altruism” to begin with.

I have no idea why, but "positive" people do truly piss me off. No other personality trait is so brain hurting.

Talking to an overly positive person is like talking to a chatbot. No matter how simple or complex your argumentation might be, they will default to a dumb smiley phrase. :angry_pepe:
