The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Come on man, actually think about it for a second. Keep in mind that this is setting a new record on the misanthropy scale if you are actually committing to this: You'd knowingly bring an animal with rabies into the UK.

I'm pretty sure that is illegal, or at the very least something you can be sued over if the animal with rabies causes trouble(which it likely will.) Not to mention an incredibly selfish act.

I just don't see the benefits of closed borders over this - I understand the rationale in banning flights from China or Iran at this juncture, but severely limiting global travel and the like will be counterproductive in terms of fighting this disease.

Italy already has it worse than Iran. As does ROK. So you’ll need to ban travel to both of those nations as well.

And how will it be counterproductive? If you don’t take actions to limit it you won’t even have an economy to worry about

According to whom? I've read that if you're a healthy person under the age of 40ish, the likelihood of death is slim to none.

There are leaked numbers in China that have the infected around 200,000 and the dead about 20,000

It actually is, that you'd do something with full knowledge that you'd be spreading disease meets the definition of misanthropy.

Why do you even care? You clearly don't give a shit about the spread of Corona, or any disease for that matter (since you have already said that you'd knowingly spread a disease if you had it), so why are you even bothering to ask about it?

If you had smallpox you’d be a risk to more than just yourself, since smallpox is contagious and spreads to other people and knowingly spreading a deadly disease like that will generally land you in prison.

Trust me, he knows all this. What's more worrying is that he'd still do it with full knowledge that he'd be infecting others.

Or he just says shit like this because it so successfully gets lots of attention. Maybe it's narcissism not misanthropy.
