    Default Anti-Science Right-Wingers Protest Common Sense COVID Restrictions

    Funny thing about BB satire ... I could read this article not knowing it was BB and believe it was true.

    SHANGHAI — According to sources, thousands of right-wing, anti-science extremists have converged in Shanghai to protest Chinese President Xi's common sense COVID restrictions.
    "These science deniers are extremely dangerous," said CCP Propaganda Minister Yin-Yon Yangalong. "Our benevolent President Xi has locked thousands of people in their homes for several weeks for their own safety. This is a very compassionate and pro-science policy and anyone who questions it is a right-wing bigot."
    The minister went on to explain that thousands have already been saved from COVID as they have starved to death or burned to death locked in their own apartments. "After extensive scientific research, we found that dead people are completely safe from being infected with COVID," he said, smiling.
    Biden has offered his support to protestors in a public statement, saying: "Come on, man! Flarpjack mibbymufflins! Lardledoo!" The administration, however, quietly pledged support for President Xi, promising they would work with tech companies to silence dissent whenever possible.
    At publishing time, Canadian PM Trudeau had also offered to help President Xi, citing his experience with trucker protests.

    Meanwhile, not satire. Reality may be turning protests into much more:

    I don't see this going anywhere. Perhaps the same as here. Except in the usual, extreme-blue sh*tholes, the people here basically quit doing anything the Fed gov't said about it and the Biden Admin wisely started treating the topic the same as it does the Southern Border -- doesn't exist. Wow. Xi can take a cue from Biden. That ought to end well

    I wouldn't see that as giving in to the people per se. Xi will, of course. So will those who want to take his place. I see it more not worth the possible consequence(s) of cracking down.

    Of more concern to me at that point is what Pooh is going to do to get his "face" back. He'll have to. Asians are big on "face", and Xi is more overly-sensitive than most.
