We can see narratives form in real time. Covid crisis allows everyone to see the false choices since there is nothing else to watch and follow. Lockdowns are now tied to leftist holiness thanks to credentialed coaching. The coming fight is not about lockdowns. The trend is already moving against them. The big brawl is…

China Lied
Submitted by Semmelweis The dysfunctional twenty year relationship between the U.S. and China has been thrown into the spotlight by the Coronacrisis, and it’s unclear at this point whether the relationship will be salvageable at all, or if it will descend into outright conflict. The apparent cooperation and friendliness between the two has always been…

This is probably just a bump in the road for China. In a nation of over one billion, this type of outbreak is not bad. I would not even pay attention to it. That would be my opinion if I were a Sinophile on the level of Mr. Scientism. I enjoy his Twitter account but…
A Test Of Narratives
I asked if I could write on the coronavirus outbreak, but was told that the Sun tries to avoid hot takes. I did not want to write a hot take on what we see and ring the bell that millions could die. This is not about the curious coincidences of bioweapons arrests and corrupt Chinese…
A Tale of Two Opioid Epidemics
Submitted by Bodhi Bronson Continuing with my assertion that America and China have a few things to learn from each other — and that this is the only sensible relationship for these two empires to have with each other, rather than moving towards a global war — America should look to none other than Chairman Mao Zedong…
