People call 'Spanish Flu' something that did not originate in Spain. The point is nobody is calling people racist for calling it whatever you want, but it serves no useful purpose to dig your heels in (not you) in order to insist it is somehow an infringment of free speech or some such bollocks to call it Wuhan Virus.
It is the worse kind of Devils advocate virtue signalling, which is a massive part of the lame alt right stuff pedalled by some of the childish losers on this forum.
China owes the world bigtime for the lies about this wuhan virus at the get go. Things could have gone much different

That is true. That is why it must be renembered. There is a lot of talk against against Trump or Johnson, but they did not release a weapon upon the world collapsing the global economy. To distance it by claiming racism for telling the truth is an awful diversion. Many don't buy into the wet market theory either.
The Chinese people are slaves under a totalitarian regime. This happened because of that. The inability to tell the truth, that revolutionary act Orwell spoke of led to this.
Chinese people are fine by me, but the system that enslaves them? It is North Korea with cash. It is an argument in favor of the Chinese. For freedom.

"Some of the childish losers on this forum" is plural. I think it's time we start addressing each other responsibly and directly, as adults.
If nothing else, I strive to be crystal clear with my opinions, no matter how unpopular they may be (which reminds me of that long-forgotten thread about unpopular opinions).
I'll also address the person directly when I need to.

I was excluding El Kabong from this particular 'victim' crap, and I certainly don't think he is a racist, but he is certainly one of those pedalling the lame alt right free speech virtue signalling on this forum.
This whole thread is a perfect example of an inverted clarion call for victim hood. The exact thing those claiming it continually chastise the 'PC' opposition they do resemble themselves for.
Nobody is censoring anyone, just pointing out what you claim is plain speech or just 'keeping it real' is nothing of the sort. You are not even really interested in intent.
Walrus intent is hilariously nothing to do with being clear or straight talking, like he claimed, it is all about attributing blame.
Even you used the Spanish Flu as an example of keeping it real which again is very funny because it is probably one of the most famous examples of the opposite. The Spanish unlike the Chinese (and the Brits, Germans, French etc at the time) never covered anything up. That is why they got the blame for a plague that started in America. Their numbers were actually smaller but they never sugar coated them unlike the PC like attitude still present here amongst those pretending America and the UK are something they are not.
Call it what you want but without extensive testing the west, especially the UK is being hugely negligent and dishonest. Calling it Wuhan Virus is a way of trying to obscure that. The exact same politicisation, those using it, claim to be above engaging in.
All I said was we have 0 problem calling it swine flu where I live.
Also from your article: "The move was not expected to prevent the H1N1 virus from striking, since the illness is spread by people and not present in Egyptian swine. However, a cull of pigs, largely viewed as unclean in conservative Muslim Egypt, could help quell a panic."
But do please go on

That was not all you said at all. You said "Why so irritated?" It is a tactic you have always used because you are used to manipulating the conversation to get people to say what you want them to say. Why not show a ounce of genuine interest in what people actually think instead of making everything into a wrong/right polarised dumb argument?
Why leave out
"Pigs are mainly raised by Egypt’s Christian minority."
?and make it about Muslims againAnyone would think that you were trying to politicize everything to fit your own personal myopic world view![]()
You mean the Muslim majority oppressed the Christian minority?
IMAGINE.
MY.
SHOCK.
"Why leave out".....yeah I'll have a fucking crack at THAT @Beanz why would YOU leave out that the Spanish Flu was accurately reported on by the Spanish because they weren't involved in World War 1? Why would you leave that out? Hmmm? Anything to fit YOUR fucking political narrative eh Beaner?
