Greg Johnson and Fróði Midjord talk about how the coronavirus outbreak has revealed the intellectual bankruptcy, corruption, and incompetence of the current system and how it creates an opening for sensible nationalist policies.

There seems to be a problem when listening or downloading the podcast in itunes. Lets hope its not intentional.
All the plastic polyester junk from China’s polite, corporate side is now gathering dust due to China’s ugly, superstitious disease generating wet market side. I am worried that whites are more susceptible to it than Asians, and I am worried about my group of older relatives. There is a 50% chance one of them will die from this because it is projected to spread to half of all people, and there is a 10% fatality rate for their age range. I am particularly worried about one very old relative. She might die just so fetishists in China can obsess over wild animals’ body parts.
Fróði is fantastic. More please.
Coronachan will make it clear that people have to be prepared for major adverse events. It would not affect the economy as much if people already had personal safety equipment, water supplies, energy supplies, their own food, and had invested their money in home assets instead of financial assets. That, or people will want the government to take care of it. At least the libertarians are happy that we can all work from home.
Counter-Currents has the best approach: put out podcasts, but don’t use them as a replacement for articles & essays.
Gonna give this a listen after I finish last night’s episode of Flashback Friday.
Speaking of ????????, you should see if Henrik & Lana will have you back on. Last time IIRC were the “gay panic” and Amazon censorship podcasts
Everyone that has died in my country so far were residents in nursing homes. These people are given morphine where they are, and no effort is made to save them. Contrary to what Greg suggests, in an epidemic the number of people that die from anything but the virus is normally less than in a normal year. This is because, statistically, many of the victims of the virus would otherwise have died of other causes.
I am not trying to understate the consequence of overburdened hospitals. What I am suggesting is that we may not be able to estimate the fatalities of the pandemic until we can compare the lethality from different deceases, not only to the year before the pandemic, but also the years after.
For a political analysis is may be important to point out that nobody that is denied health services in the coming year will be relieved by population statistics.
If you think the “stimulus checks” are a good idea you obviously don’t remember the last round of stimulus checks. This will simply be a LOAN, and not free money. Come next tax time watch what happens when Uncle Sugar claws back that money with a vengeance (and with interest, like last time). I agree people need assistance, but very wary of politicians bearing gifts.
It is clear, at least to me, that the only “stimulus” of any value to our people is wholesale abolition of debts. Every PARTICULAR example has good arguments against it, but as a collective the private debt of our people cannot be repaid, the usurers who are responsible for inventing, promoting, repackaging and expanding the debt burden of our people are AT LEAST as responsible as individual profligacy – and for the usurers, having the debts of the common people will be a fate worse than death.

CC team, have you heard of this organisation?
Seems like progress
This is encouraging. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, getting a playback error in Android podcast app too. Appears to apply to entire catalog of RSS feed.
I’ve been getting the same.
vexing….
Don’t forget the fourth part and conclusion of the series on COVID-19, concerning (among other topics) herd immunity; tyranny; and geopolitics:

I don’t think it’s fair to claim that Republicans are somehow evil for worrying about the economy.
The lockdown and subsequent depression could fuel suicides and chimpouts nationwide. You’re not really doing a cost benefit analysis here, or maybe you believe the hype regarding the virus.
80% of those exposed have zero to no symptoms. Rand Paul has no symptoms. The virus is a real threat to old people with co-morbidities.
Yes, they should have closed the borders right away. But they didn’t and the virus is here and it’s going to make the rounds. I suspect that a fair percentage of Americans have already been infected.
Wrecking the economy isn’t going to stop it but will just make matters worse.
Ramzpaul has the best take I have seen yet.
