I have seen lots of lists of “logical fallacies,” both formal and informal. But I have not seen an entry for what I would call, for lack of a better name, a fallacy of “the alternative is too frightening to contemplate.” There should be one. Someone should write one if no one has written one already.

The China Bioweapon must not be a bioweapon…must not have been a lab leak…must have escaped from a “wet market” or a Canadian postage stamp. Lots of people think that even though there’s no hard evidence to substantiate it. Because the alternative is too frightening to contemplate.

All these people bossing us around telling us to wear masks and take vaccines and stay home etc….they must have our best interests and our collective health at heart. They must. Not because we have reason to think they do, but because the alternative is too frightening to contemplate.

Taylor Lorenz is leaving the New York Times. The adult reporter best known for attending an internet celeb’s 16th birthday party for “work” announced Tuesday she was joining the Washington Post as a columnist covering “technology, online life, influencers, memes, business, culture, & more!”

Lorenz, who is probably 37 years old (her true age remains a source of controversy), rose to prominence in 2018 by posting about the $22 avocado toast she ordered online. Since then, she has been the subject of more media profiles than any journalist in American history. Her latest career announcement, for example, was accompanied by an interview with Vanity Fair in which Lorenz threw shade at the Times for not taking her work “seriously” and struggling to “deal with talent” such as herself.

“I think that people do not understand my beat. They don’t take it seriously,” Lorenz told the magazine. “I think the Times is an incredible institution but mainstream media organizations have kind of struggled to figure out how they deal with talent.” The celebrity journalist went on to suggest the Times was not comfortable with the way she uses “the internet as a modern internet person.” (Whatever that means.)

against police officers, no lootings of businesses, no arsonist fires, no destruction of police stations … all of which were well-represented in 2020 riots corporate media labeled mostly peaceful. This has been a source of frustration to the corporate media. Disappointed by the lack of real violence in the trucker protest, leftists have resorted to the “McAuliffe Maneuver” of sending activists to discredit the movement through white supremacist cosplay.

The Washington Post published an editorial cartoon bizarrely equating a working-class protest against authoritarian Government as “fascism.” But still, the truckers have persisted in remaining nonviolent. According to the Toronto Globe and Mail, the mere presence of truckers who could potentially hold the wrong opinions is traumatizing to the sort of people who are perpetually traumatized.

It’s become clear over the past few months that one of the key strategies for hiding the deadly adverse effects of the COVID-19 “vaccines” is the use of the official definition of “unvaccinated”. A patient who is injected with the experimental mRNA treatment is considered “unvaccinated” until fifteen days have passed since his second jab. Some of the most severe reactions to the vax — including those resulting in death — occur within two weeks, so those serious adverse effects are conveniently being recorded as occurring among the “unvaccinated”. Those who experience adverse reactions to the vax often show symptoms that resemble those of Corona, so that deaths among the recently “vaccinated” are sometimes reported as “unvaccinated patients who died of Covid”.
