covid-19 unmasking stupidity

i'm jealouse that chomsky invented a new field of linguistics. so i invented a new literary art form i call "perspective acrobatics". future generations will remember me as the "father of perspective acrobatics".

the covid-19 pandemic has unmasked which countries are smart and which countries are stupid. countries like japan, south korea and taiwan have successfully contained the coronavirus and have ulra low death rates. meanwhile, the US is suffering very high death rates from this pandemic. the amazing parallelism is that japan, south korea, and taiwan have been enjoying military protection from the US for decades. americans are so stupid they would sacrifice their life for the freedom of others. 365 thousand white americans died to free the black slaves. 290 thousand americans gave up their life in world war 2 to free the world from tyranny. 94 thousand americans gave up their life to fight the communists in vietnam and south korea. the neocons tricked americans into going to war in iraq by naming it "operation iraqi freedom". 26 thousand americans die each year because they don't have health insurance. america is the only developed country that does not have universal healthcare. americans are willing to let 26 thousand of their fellow amreicans die each year simply because the FREEDOM CAUCUS is afraid that universal healthcare will increase taxes and give americans less FREEDOM to spend their hard earned money. and now even in the midst of this deadly pandemic thousands are protesting and rioting in the streets to protest racial injustice. before that thousands were protesting the covid-19 lockdowns. americans value freedom more than life itself. the sad thing is that medical frontline workers are bearing the brunt of this stupidity.
