Cancel Culture is a very milquetoast way of describing the damage leftists cause (and the corporations that enable this). It’s not unreasonable to refer to Cancel Culture as economic terrorism. The goal is to intimidate society by publicly destroying a dissident’s life in the hopes that either the mob will kill them or that the dissident will commit suicide due to having every traditional economic opportunity taken away from them.

My parents have definitely been scared by the “pandemic” and are super excited that they are able to get the vaccine next month.

Predictably, the question becomes, “when are you going to get the vaccine shot?” I’ve told them about my concerns with the vaccine back in November, and they seemed to agree back then, but it appears the COVID panic has grown into paranoia for them since then. I live in another state for a job, so I have told them that “I’m young so they aren’t giving vaccines out to my demographic yet,” though that excuse isn’t going to last. Honestly, we’ve been planning for me to visit them, and now it seems as though they are at the point where they won’t want me to visit unless I am vaccinated like them.

I’m standing my ground on my refusal to take the vaccine, as the risk outweighs the benefits in my opinion, but I think that my refusal will be the turning point of my relationship with my parents. It’s absurd to think that not taking a vaccine for a disease with a 99% survival rate would be what causes my family to not want to see me in person, but their fear of COVID (they are under 70) might be strong enough to where they give me that ultimatum. I hope it doesn’t come to that point, but I’m bracing myself for it. Most likely I will be seen as paranoid and being ridiculous, but I would rather not submit to that pressure.

Make no mistake, I’m not looking for advice, I just wanted to give a little backstory to my question to the the forum. For those of you who are skeptical of the vaccine and plan on refusing to take it, are you already seeing the relationship between your family, extended or otherwise, strained because of this? If the vaccine question hasn’t come up, do you foresee your stance on the vaccine causing your family to think more negatively of you or strain the family relationship?

I’m not a professional or expert (though frankly experts and professionals these days are increasingly useless), but I would advise those skeptical of a vaccine with less than a year of development to stand your ground on this issue as a matter of your own personal health. The pandemic has shined a blacklight on the nature of those in power around the world, and to place absolute trust in these institutions would be unwise. Stay strong in your resolve!

I've been hearing a lot more about inflation concerns and how inflation would benefit those with a lot of debt. Of course, that benefit would depend on whether their earnings would match the rate of inflation, which means it would really only benefit those with flexible revenue streams and not those with fixed yearly incomes, so this really only leaves those who have become incredibly wealthy through debt and large businesses.

Democrats are really trying to spend as much money as they can it seems with more and more trillion dollar plans on top of the yearly budget, so it seems increasingly likely that this plan not only tries to appeal to those easily persuaded by freebies, but is also intentionally destroying the economy in the interest of the wealthy elites, which most likely includes many of the politicians currently in office, so that they can pay off the exorbitant amounts of debt that they have used to get that wealth. 

 It's just astounding how reckless the silent generation/boomers have been in destroying everything their predecessors built. They will never own up to their mistakes and instead would rather take the whole system down to stay afloat for 5 minutes longer than the rest of us.

It looks like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been selected as the Director-General of the World Trade Organization. While I do not know too much about her, it appears that she is a very strong supporter, based on this video, of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative and has urged other African countries to be a part of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative.

This initiative is a debt trap that gives China leverage over the countries they give billions in loans to for construction projects that are primarily done by Chinese workers. China used this leverage in 2017 when Sri Lanka gave up ownership of a major port and 15,000 acres of land to China. This ownership by China will last 99 years.

Ngozi's home country of Nigeria owes least $3.1 billion to China, though in 2020, Nigeria and China came to an agreement of a $17 billion loan for Nigeria. Much like the Director-General of WHO, Tedros Adhanom, whose home country of Ethiopia owes China $13.5 Billion as of 2019, I fear that Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala will serve and protect China's interests first and foremost, and will obfuscate any illegal economic activities done by China.

It should be noted that Ngozi became a dual citizen of the US and Nigeria back in 2018, but her ties to Nigeria will most likely coerce her to place China's interests above the interests of the US and its allies.

It should be absolutely clear that China will use America's dangerous obsession with Social Justice to push forward Africans from countries that owe billions to China into leadership roles within the UN and its agencies. These leaders will act as proxy agents of the CCP.

On a surface level, it makes sense that they want public schools to be reopened, but really, it just shows how hypocritical some of these conservatives are, like Ben Shapiro ("shocking," I know). For years conservatives have been lamenting the public schools as a source of leftist indoctrination (which I agree with), so shouldn't conservatives be more vocal about the value of home schooling? Or would having students be home-schooled (which generally a parent wants to be there for) shine a greater light on a problem conservative politicians and pundits want to ignore?

Home-schooling should definitely be more utilized compared to public schools, so I don't understand why conservatives in general aren't looking a gift horse in the mouth?

At this point, I have no faith that leftists will wise up to see how they are being manipulated into canceling people who the elites/media call "white supremacists" or "Alt-right" even though it is pretty clear that they are falsely labelling WallStreetBets groups as "White Supremacists" or guilty of "Hate Speech" with no evidence whatsoever. Most of these leftists probably don't care that they are being used because they think it gives them power.

Regardless, I'm really tired of the people or groups that aren't leftists constantly trying to defend themselves by saying how "awful and hateful those Alt-Righters are!" They aren't convincing any leftists or corporations by condemning those groups, they are just reaffirming the arguments of the leftists. They are too indoctrinated to see how pathetic their defenses are when they acknowledge the leftist narrative.

It's like Ben Shapiro when he constantly says how he is the "# 1 victim of Anti-Semitism." The people he is trying to placate don't care that he is the "victim," they just want him to grovel on his knees and continually disavow, leading to his followers to repeat the same condemnations because they don't want to be seen as "racist" or "bigoted" by Ben himself. Maybe someday these people will grow a spine and just ignore the claims of people being White Supremacists or say "Why should I be responsible for who does or doesn't support me?"

As much as I really don't want to say it, there is a high likelihood that Biden will become the next president, which will most likely mean that China will be more assertive in becoming the dominant economy, unless something big happens in the U.S. where change is done (highly unlikely that many people will try to do anything about it).

Assuming everything goes according to plan for the globalist elites, I predict that the American entertainment will primarily focus on China as the main demographic for their movies, games, etc even more so than currently, while the properties that are smaller in budget and/or not popular (and most likely would never be popular) in China will be made into entertainment that solely focus on minority (primarily black) characters. For all potentially profitable IPs, China will be the main setting and/or the main characters will be Chinese, and the glitz and glamour of the conventions like San Diego Comic Con will be removed from conventions in the states and focused in Chinese entertainment conventions exclusively. As we are already seeing, minority characters are taking on the mantle of classic comic book heroes. I foresee this continuing, with these entertainment companies fully willing to lose money on Western-focused mediums, seeing the losses as justified in exchange for good PR by the media and the growing minority community that likes terms like "Latinx" and other woke appeasements. Of course, all of big budget films and TV shows will be made with China as the sole market, so black characters will be minimized as much as possible. They will become fully confident they will make even more money with Chinese-focused mediums and thus offsetting potential losses. Overtime, the American market will stagnate thanks to wall street extracting America of its resources and thus corporations will make America a secondary market that would no longer be profitable, instead becoming a market purely for accruing brownie points and diverting attention away from unethical dealings in China while American politicians pretend that the United States is still the dominant force.

Most of these predictions are probably not really predictions as this is already happening now, but I only see it getting worse if American continues down the path it is going right now. Where do you all see the market focus going, assuming nothing changes?
