I totally understand that these concepts are threatening to the chode
People vote their temperament they don't vote 4 policies
It's absolutely obvious that fat Steve sitting on the couch with his fat wife
Is going to find a president who has his own gold toilet
Helicopter and hot wife very confronting
It's absolutely obvious that fat Steve is going to feel less threatened by a bumbling old grandpa who has done nothing risk nothing and produce nothing
And has a wife with a PhD in finger painting
People don't want a faceup to the mediocrity of their life
They quite enjoy being kept safe
And just distracting themselves with alcohol Netflix fast food and pornography
Politicians understand this
And there is no way they are going to upset the unthinking masses by challenging them
Listen to today speech by Gladys or Daniel
If it doesn't contain the word safe at least 20 times
The script writers have not understood the prevailing mood of the community
Lol we're back to fat Steve, the classics.
There is some truth to the chode vs champ, but as usual you've taken it to the fringe extream and are advocating for the death and permanently compromised health of thousands and thousands of people so you can convince yourself you're a champ.
Your blatant disregard for human life, presented laughably as the opposite makes you thoroughly unworthy of the gift of life.
incorrect.
lets look at 2 people .
we'll call them anxious steve and barry the painter.
barry lives in sydney.
he has 2 weeks work painting a new house where he will be the only subbie on site.
he is keen to get the house done as he is conscientous and he wants to take responsibility for his family.
the current rules infringe TOTALLY on his LIBERTY to do that work despite the fact he can work alone and pose zero risk to anyone.
now lets look at anxious steve. he lives in perth and he is really really fearful of cocid. he doesnt work but spends his day posting about how the footy should be cancelled and sydney should be in lockdown until levels drop to zero becasue he is really really anxious.
and the government take HIS SIDE.
despite the fact that all he has to do is NOT go to the footy and stay at home if he is anxious and he will be safe, he is pandered to and allowed to have rules and regulations imposed that
1 are unneccessary as he can isolate of his own free will
2 make him the virtuous citizen in this rather weird reality
3 allow him to have other citizens made to bend to HIS will despite the fact they are doing absolutley nothing of danger to anyone.
this is a catastrophic way to deal with anxious people ( it makes them more anxious) and conscientous adventurous people ( it is stressful on their industrious temperament).
it can only lead to a divided society and dysfunction and it does nothing to fight the delta virus which does require we all listen to each other and compromise.
barry the painter is not listened to at all
anxious steve is made more anxious because the authorities ramp up the catastrophisation.
and legitimise his anxiety
steven covey would call this
"constructing the lose/lose"
