Don't break quarantine just to protest


Fellow lovers of liberty

Please do not leave your homes for the purposes of protesting the quarantine. You can totally protest it from home.

The way I see it, the virus is either real or a hoax, and it is either dangerous or no worse than the flu. We all can argue until we're blue in the face about the unknown unknowns.

If the virus is real and as dangerous as advertised, staying home is the common sense thing to do. If something can hurt or kill you, and you can't kill it, then you avoid it. That is common sense. Even if you plan on wearing masks and social distancing at your event, there is the risk that someone will be involved in an accident and require treatment at the ER. This puts that person at risk of catching a disease at the hospital. Officials will be highly tempted to blame any increase in deaths on the protest. If the Deep State is as evil as you think they are, then they WANT you to protest the quarantine. They want the liberty movement to look like dangerous idiots. They want an excuse to arrest you or even shoot you in front of dozens of cameras, and make you look like a terrorist when they do it.
State governments will have to reopen the economy soon anyway. This is what most of you want anyway, so sit tight. If state governments don't reopen the economy, they'll run out of tax revenue, go bankrupt, and we'll see a massive society collapse. That is what some of you want anyway, so sit tight.
Once again, if the virus threat is real, then the right thing to do is to stay home, in spite of what the government has ordered. If the virus threat turns out to be exaggerated, that could be an interesting discovery during an election year. In either case, please stay home, stay safe, and stay woke. Stock up on canned goods in case the grid goes down, learn to code in case the grid stays up.

A Long Way From Tipperary is on sale for the duration.

By now, you will have exhausted everything worth watching on Netflix. So my novel will be on sale for the duration. The ebook is 99 cents and the print version is $7.92. This is as cheap as Jeff Bezos will let me make it. Pretty much any device that you are reading this on can be used as a Kindle.
I would say that now is the time to switch to e-books. You're not going to the library any time soon. It's not like you've been to one recently either, you functionally illiterate savages, but let's focus on self-improvement. An e-book can be available to you within minutes, and is still available off line after you downloaded it. The only upside of a print book is that you can still read it after the grid goes down, but you'll probably have bigger things to worry about when that happens.
Maybe I should be thinking more positive. Anyway, buy my book about space warlords who want to murder everybody.
