>They weren't as good as Homer's if they didn't survive. It's like the endlessly milked film franchises of today.

>Early Christians didn't burn everything pagan they could get their hands on

Yea, I'm sure supply and demand applies to 2700 year old hand recorded oral tradition.

>People protest peacefully at their state capitok the unconstitutional stay at home orders
Fucking racist white supremacists they care for no one but themselves
>People protest police brutality in the streets and thousands start looting, vandalizing, and beating people
These are brave people, they should be allowed to keep protesting

I'm so fucking tired of this obvious hypocrisy. It's so obvious the lockdowns were not important and were only there to kill local industry.

Here in Canada people were getting $10000 fines for going out to parties, then suddenly because some gangbanger gets killed by some corrupt cop it's all fine and dandy to gather enmass.

Fuck off.
