There are two people.
Part of the hive or conservative.
Bari not hive mind. Bari now conservative.
Always attack the messenger to distract from message. That's journalism 101.

There was once a time when those with opposing views from their echo chamber used to chime in here. But more evidence came pouring in and the debate heated up. So instead, someone who is supposed to be a centric, opened up a new thread that they could comment on and turn into their own private Idaho and it would exclude any talk of the Chinese Virus. That thread is crickets now and those that were posting in it have not made their way back to this thread. Well, all but the centric that opened up and policed the other thread.
I read that as "Misery of Truth" and it's actually catchy phrase for the upcoming 2yrs.

I would have assumed that you'd be in favor of reducing the power of the proletariat in electing the members of the government.
I mean, that's how it used to be back in the good ole' days, when only white male landowners could vote, and women & negroes knew their place. A time when gender was fixed and binary, homosexuality was a criminal offense, and the only safe space was the one between a person's ears.

Oh, I completely agree. I was just trying to appeal to Brainey's nostalgic side sense of anemoia.
Is it technically nostalgia if it occurred prior to your birth? What's the correct term for pining through rose-tinted glasses for a bygone era which one never personally experienced?
