How come we don't see more Covid Nationalism?

And I don't mean a homeland for Corona-Chan, but actually stopping immigration from countries infected with the virus and its mutations?

It seems like a slam dunk argument that not even Liberals can ignore. For example, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just announced yesterday a 30 day ban on all Indian & Pakistani flights into his country.

While this detail might not sound important, Indians actually make up 1/4 of all new Canadian citizens, with Chinese people being second.

Look at the foreign ethnic group who has the most influence in media, academia, political organization, etc. It is getting tiring how people still think in terms of political issues or ideology instead of the people that hold power. Nothing has to make logical sense if you have the power to control narratives. Yes, the nationalist movement are underdeveloped but it is hard to start a movement that is targeted by the people that hold power, 24/7 propaganda, indoctrination against nationalism since birth and government persecution by banning political parties and police entrapment schemes. Hopefully, progress will be made in the future but it is easier said than done because of the risk involved.

In the past, people often faced the risk of death for their political activism, but they also never had to deal with 24/7 propaganda and a complacent and a well fed population with circuses. This is an era of uncharted territory, no racial group that I am aware of has ever faced this type of attack before. The people that actually hold power are not visible to the common citizen, people are brainwashed into believing a fake political system and a surveillance state never seen before in man kinds history. The people are not aware of the shackles they carry because they are invisible and their awareness of them barely helps because any member of their group could be a snitch. Communism is probably the closest we have gotten to what we face now as a people but this system we currently live under is way more effective.

Think about phones, social media, and the algorithms they use to spoon feed people propaganda. You can open your phone, scroll, and consume propaganda anytime you want. This is new and extremly dangerous.

It doesn't matter what arguments you make against mass immigration. The people who control the media and big tech want it, and will simply ignore or censor any arguments you make, no matter how sensible they are. I could give you 10 non race related reasons why current mass immigration is horrible for the vast majority of Americans and ultimately damaging to the country overall, and all that will be ignored by wealthy elites peddling emotion laden guilt tripping hollywood bullshit about kids in cages and America as a beacon of freedom and opportunity, while the politicians they buy keep the borders open with or without our consent or knowledge.

Right on schedule, the media is now calling Canada's new flight ban racist.

At some point, the other side will have to justify why risk bringing foreign viruses into a country? But this would be as silly as Cigarette companies saying Lung Cancer is good for you.

Le Right is actually bunch of libtards, demand for opening borders and muh economy came from the right, as well as other insane bullshit conspiracy theories not even 10 year old children would fall for.

Right now situation is well beyond repair anyways, how many variations of Covid are there already? God knows.

Closing the borders + demanding checks would push the things in whole new direction and it would expose your corrupt governments who should've had some money in reserve in case of emergencies.

But no, muh rights and muh liberty, which you don't even have as it is painfully obvious to everyone, prevailed.

Right now what I will do is take vaccine to trigger the libtards, this easily avoidable clusterfuck should end asap.

Also, I forgot to add, reactionary mindset of 1-brain-cell contards is amazing.

Who remembers when the left was all about "it's just a flu, don't be racist to Chinese, closing borders won't work"?

All it took was like one or two weeks of media terrorism, with their egregious reporting which majority of people got fed up with, to get right to support their initial stance, which is open borders and everyone going to work back as usual.

Just some observation of media tactics, taking the opposite stance of what you believe in and being so obnoxious with it so people naturally take the opposite (your actual) stance.
