Social Distancing as a Joke

Derbyshire (of two VDare "genii" - listen to their joke during the interview on Youtube below and here) meets up with Brimelow, editor of VDare, via some teleconferencing method now the rage in this corona-era to discuss, well, NOT social distancing.

I tuned in (actually listened to the taped video) genuinely believing that they would somehow discuss the fake pandemic.

But, I discovered that what I wrote earlier still holds: that VDare has no interest in the societal and economic upheaval that this fake pandemic is causing the world.

What is disconcerting is that VDare has not posted a single coherent piece on the spectacular "lockdown" (a prison term, by the way) on Americans and Canadians, and actually the whole world, on a fake pandemic for a virus that has killed less than flu virus (and viruses), which originated from an outdoor market in China.[Reclaiming Beauty, April 28, 2020]

The discussion between Derbyshire and Brimelow centered around black crimes on whites, which is the repetitive, mantra-like, redundant postings through which VDare has made its trademark, over the couple of decades it has existed.

I have to speculate whether it is something that they wish for, some kind of racial war, to start the machinations of a global Gotterdammerung, to start their America on a clean, white slate.

The populations that are suffering due to this "pandemic" at much higher levels are the poor, mostly black and other "people of color," although not due to illness or death, but through financial loss of jobs and savings.

[T]he most jobs at risk [due to the coronavirus lockdowns include]...leisure and hospitality..., transportation ..., employment services..., mining ..., and travel arrangements.

[...]

The analysis signals that this recession will be particularly challenging for people of color. While about 12.5% of non-Hispanic white Americans work in the most affected industries, this is true for 17.6% of Hispanic workers and 16.8% of blacks. Hispanics make up a large share of employment in the leisure and hospitality industry, and black workers make up a bigger proportion of the transportation sector. [Source]

Poor whites may suffer also, but to a lesser extent. And wealthier whites have many strategies to reduce their corona-problems, including rushing off (in Canada at least) to their second homes in quieter and healthier lake-side properties.

Poorer people may not have the luxury of credit cards, or even internet connections which they trust will not eat away their online dollar expenditures.

And wealthier whites can stay for much longer holed up in their five-bedroom homes, with one room each for Mom, Dad, and three kids (and even with one room to spare), than would poorer families of five living in apartments of three rooms.

Either way, the corona seems to be financially affecting non-whites more than whites.

I thought Brimelow and Derbyshire would discuss the draconian, government imposed shut-down and lock-down for a "big nothing" virus, as I wrote earlier, and how it affects some more than others (although certainly affecting all). Instead, their social distancing was simply a joke on the times.

Their conversation consisted purely of "immigration restriction" in the time of the virus.

And Brimelow's idea of a joke is to put in front view a bottle of whisky, and to drink from it: "The Corona has turned me to drink."
