It happens in war that often the point is lost, and people continue to fight just because all they can remember is fighting. It could be the Hatfields and the McCoys continuing a multi-generation family blood feud, or the US empire spending twenty years in Afghanistan to the tune of about two-trillion dollars to accomplish, what again exactly? Bin-Laden something, Taliban, something-something, women’s rights, uh what again?

The political culture wars that began with the COVID19 pandemic under Trump that have largely been fought on social media platforms and in the major media, have gone so far off the rails that nothing really makes sense anymore. Despite the existence of vaccines that appear to be quite good at preventing serious illness or death from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the establishment media is still going hard about everything from masks, to the unvaccinated, to rising (but never falling) case numbers wherever they can find them.

"This week, just three states Florida, Texas and Missouri, three states with lower vaccination rates accounted for 40 percent of all cases nationwide," Zients said at a White House news conference. "For the second week in a row, one in five of all cases occurring in Florida alone. And within communities, these cases are primarily among unvaccinated people."
