Some Good Reading

On Trump's masculine attitude toward getting the virus in contrast to our feminized society. 

I'm not a betting man, but if I were, I'd bet on Trump surviving and his re-election prospects growing as a result of contacting the virus. a) It makes him look physically strong compared to Biden hiding in the basement b) It validates his "looser" lockdown policies if he appears to beat the virus.

If he dies, I would bet it hurts his re-election prospects.

Side note: a randomly good article about why we bend the knee to our HR overlords.

It is through ideology, Althusser asserts, that the ruling system maintains itself in power: “the ideology of the ruling class does not become the ruling ideology by the grace of God, nor even by virtue of the seizure of state power alone,” he states, “it is by the installation of the ISAs in which this ideology is realised and real­ises itself that it becomes the ruling ideology.”

In other words, the pigs were indistinguishable from the men who came before them.
