Recently I have been exposed to people referring to the new strains of covid as the "South African variant", "UK variant", and "Brazilian variant." Where are you SJWs we need saving. Last year you saved us all, what has changed we need you!
Help us SJWs....you're our only hope

Their response is to continue to play internet "gotcha" games and meaninglessly virtue signal to their base (who are dying by the thousands on ventilators).
I mean, I'm not surprised! I just figured they might learn a thing or two, but we will take the free wins any day.
You sound mad.
Or just uptight
If this is the hill you want to die on, have at it. Care about that instead of a President who incited violence & lawmakers that went with him.
Care about that instead of billionaires who are making tons of $$$ during the pandemic while millions are out of work or just make minimum wage.
Who cares about nonsense like this when there are real issues to be working on. If it grinds your gears that some people try to care about others and are sensitive about how to talk to one another, that says more about you & people like you than it does about them.

But you can probably see the problems with your explanation that raise the concerns in the first place. As you noted, intent is important in analyzing such issues. But you SJW types are all over the map on intent and, almost without fail, infer intent to be racially derogatory on anyone not on your "side" of racial issues. (The glaring exception to that is with the "N-word" where you all seem to have settled on its use being intentionally derogatory no matter the context in which anyone speaks it). Basically, I'm saying that in practice, inferring intent just raises the hypocrisy issue again - you SJWs have the license and forum on branding someone's intent as racially derogatory whether it was or was not.
But anyone, this is a good job by you. Your fellow SJWs on Letsrun should look to you when they can't fight their way out of the next box of their own making.

As I said, it's very telling that this is the COVID topic you are choosing to spam these boards about. MSM inconsistency!!! SJWs!!!!
By all means, continue trying to own the libs or whatever.

It’s possible to care and talk about more than one thing you know. OP may be concerned about the things you mentioned, but they don’t have anything to do with this thread. It’s pretty funny watching you and Harambe flail about trying to deflect the topic. “BUT CONSERVATIVES BAD!!!”

It is telling what people choose to prioritize when trolling on LRC.
I am a genius so can handle lots of sh*tposting at once. Others have to focus on line of attack ... and this ain't it chief.

I don't think anything I posted deserves the label of spam, especially from a poster who is making his 12th appearance in a thread that he continually keeps saying is regarding a triviality. I attempted to respond to other posts in a meaningful way. And given the Fourth Estate nature of the media in the U.S., media bias and hypocrisy is de facto not a trivial issue.
I've posted in several Covid threads of the last year. Sometimes repeatedly. I don't see how that matters on what I've posted in this thread. It would seem silly to use the quantity of other threads posted in as a factor in evaluating content of a post, even if the number was zero. But by all means, continue trying to own others with that superfluous idea.
Anyway, you've added nothing. Again. You should observe your fellow SJWs like Simple Person and Huxley. They showed you a path forward to substantive topical posting, but you've just stayed in your comfort zone, which appears to be nothing but posting continuous snark.
10/10
Significant arguments from an obviously sarcastic post. “your our only hope.” Hahahaha
I’m didn’t read all the posts, but I assume either fascism or Hitler has been mentioned by now.

What is the topical posting I should be doing? Taking the bait that is your pearl-clutching and pretending like this is a serious issue requiring careful analysis? Nah, I'd much rather troll the simpletons who flock to these threads under the guise of "balance" and dissecting "media objectivity."
I'll note that someone actually went out of their way to explain that -obviously- intent is what matters when using these names for the virus/variants. And your response was "but what about the N-word." One thing boomer conservatives (and those who act like them) seem to have in common is complete social incompetence. They act like if someone doesn't give them a playbook on "how not to be racist" they will accidentally turn into David Duke or something. Telling!
Losers gonna lose and cry.

The substantive topical posting you should have been trying to do was the type I mentioned that your fellow SJWs such as Simple Person (the guy who suggested that intent was important) and Huxley (the guy with the conjured up theory about country vs. demonym). That's substance. You just dance around with snotty comments, practically by your own admission. That isn't substance. And it bears repeating that you have made over a dozen posts in a thread about an issue you consider trivial. I don't think you understand how silly you look when call an issue a "Fox and Friends talking point" and then can't even take a junior high school stab at explaining why that is. It's like your self-professed desire to troll has sapped up any logic and reason you may have once possessed.
My response to Simple Person on the "intent" issue was much more than the quote about the "N-word" that you recited above. And I had that in parentheses, which is a common way of demonstrating that a person is injecting somewhat of tangent, although a relevant one. Anyway, I had more to say on Simple Person's analysis about intent, than you give me credit for, or that you are capable of providing yourself.
And no matter how much you try to trivialize it, as I said before, given the Fourth Estate nature of the media in American, and the massive influence the media have on politics, business, and even the very words we think we can say, is always an important issue worthy of discussion. Entire departments in American universities are dedicated to this very area. Politicians hire teams of people just do deal with it. Media companies are multi-billion dollar enterprises. Your inability to recognize the power of the media (or admit to it) is just weird.

Sorry, I just don't consider lowest-common-denominator culture-wars anti-SJW BS worthy of serious engagement. You know as well as I do what the answer is. You are clearly somewhat intelligent.
It is extremely easy to tell someone's intent when they use a term like "China virus" or "UK variant." The context around the language is crucial. When Trump used it in March as he attempted to shift blame from his own incompetence to the Chinese authorities -- that was clear. When Reuters reports the presence of the "UK variant" in New Jersey or whatever -- that is clear.
Your response to intent was literally just "but the N-word." You repeated some trite talking points about scary liberal media painting conservatives as (gasp) RACIST!!
Here I will attempt to engage thoughtfully:
Do you think Trump's China virus tirades were NOT racially/ethnocentrically charged? Do you think the AP reporting on the "South African variant" is comparable? Do you understand the difference between these two? Do you think a reasonable person understands the difference?

I know this is your normal, veiled attempt at a "democrats good, republicans bad" post but this just isn't the case. More and more we see cases of blatant hypocrisy by Democrats (Newsome, Pelosi, Lori Lightfoot, ) in not following covid-protocols and even encouraging protests during the Pandemic (but only BLM protests). Meanwhile, Trump's Operation Warp Speed has been a huge success. What has Biden done so far, exactly? He can't even decide on what measly amount of covid-relief money to give to citizens.

Newsom and Pelosi are both terrible. I would argue Newsom hasn't really taken the virus seriously with his repeated wishy-washy halfway measures and general failure to lead.
OWS was fine. It wasn't a particularly surprising amount of money. Plenty of companies had to finance their own discovery operations. Not to mention no federal planning for vaccine roll out -- it took weeks for states to get up to speed once the FDA approved the mRNA vaxs.
Biden just came in and actually secured enough doses to cover us thru the summer. Trump admin just didn't buy enough? Spending money is the only thing they were good at and they STILL messed this one up. Comical. 400k excess deaths and you think people are being too hard on Trump?
