Chinese "Devil Virus" - anyone worried?

Fucking hell, somehow this thread just got even worse, and I didn't think that was possible.

Why? Don't be one of those people that just shuts down any discussion and debate because a sensitive subject is mentioned, without acknowledging nuance, context etc. Do you think what Australia is doing with regards to these camps is fine? If so, you might be right in your assessment about this thread.
 
And obviously it's not as severe as the Holocaust. But that's not what I was saying.

No, it's not fine. But comparing it to the killing of millions of people based on their ethnicity is not in any way similar.
 
Bringing it up at all in the thread, making any comparisons, equating it in any way, is a pretty stupid thing to do. There's a thousand other things to compare it to.

Well, it's the most high-profile, well-known instance so you can understand people immediately jumping to that. Insensitive to bring it up, yeah. Inaccurate for obvious reasons in most aspects as well. But I do also think it wouldn't hurt to bear in mind perhaps the greatest atrocity in human history when we look to be going down a dark route again. We just need to be wary of some of the terrible things we have done as a species and where decisions certain people are making could potentially lead.
 
To be fair, it's similar if you think Jews are a health risk to non-Jews.

Wasn't that one of the tactics Hitler used? He was obsessed with cleanliness and often used propaganda to suggest that Jews were the cause of Typhus and other diseases

Didn't hitler argue Jews where the cause of diseases with his propaganda machine . ??

Like it or not, there are some similarities.

The world has gone mad.. it is scary to think other countries across the world will be looking at Australia Concentration camps with interest..

So many benefits presenting themselves with this..

Its almost as bad as those Chinese anti Muslim camps

People have to realise a capitalist democracy is more about looking after the countries 'best' interests, not necessarily the people..

When shit his the fan and there is threat to the economy.. anything potentially goes..

It will be sugar coated as the best thing for the country since sliced bread, even if it isn't..

I think this thread has run its course...

What is this mental damage the thread is suddenly inflicting on you? Run its course? I've taken the brunt of it for 450 odd pages, and I don't see any issue taking more abuse, it's just words, read off a screen. What's this weak snowflake reaction you're all having?

I just think every position you adopted in this thread is now turning into clown science, so that's why you want it to end. That's understandable. But from my perspective it's just starting to get good.
 
This “narrative” that Australia is “terrifyingly mental” is quite interesting - where is that coming from?

I’m a lot more scared and suspicious of someone suddenly raising mistreatment of aboriginal people as being something driven by COVID. All of a sudden it’s like the holocaust is it?

There’s also a lot of nonsense getting spouted over the quarantine facilities being built that I don’t quite get.

It’s not exactly some sort of mass internment facility with harsh conditions and zero facilities.

You realise that the view from Australia is that the UK has been a disaster zone throughout all this.

This is mental.
Providing less care to the clinically at risk.. so they don't get killed by Covid.. but leave them open and susceptible to death from anything else?

There's also still not been any serious drive to reduce co mobidities within the pop.
This is dumb
Its just the Tories using the pandemic to push their privatisation agenda..

Its already happened with dentists

Can I get an emergency appointment on the nhs at the moment.. not a chance.. because I've become de-registered with my dentist at the height of the pandemic

However if I pay privately.. not a problem

The Tories are pushing through a bill which technically removes NHS legal obligation to provide health care for all

Make of that what you will..

The UK has been and continues to be a disaster zone, we continue with the incognito herd immunity strategy.

However, the official stats suggest we are better placed than our European neighbours.

The strategy is we will need to jab our way out of this mess. What was previously a double jabbed approach.

Turned into a triple jab for the most vulnerable, into a quadruple jab within 12 months, all before some countries have had 1 jab.
