Bonus propaganda: The red Republican face is the one who is talking without a mask and spreading the germs.

The article has nothing to do with politics or masks lmao. All its saying is English is an aspirated language and that makes people "spit" more while talking versus languages that are unaspirated which is probably true. Then it tries to shoehorn in that this spreads covid even though the research found no statistical difference.

Both the article and the research is fucking trash though.

    Bro it's research done by Russian and Cypriots, you're actually killing me if you think non-American first thought when they see red and blue is oh it's the American Republican and Democrat parties lmfao. The picture is literally showing a red head voicing aspirated consonants and nothing more.

    I think Putin quite enjoys getting blowed during his private meeting with Donnie, he wouldn't want the Republican party to lose.

    Plenty of other languages have aspirated consonants. Some languages, such as Chinese, categorize them separately from non-aspirated consonants — and you can't even speak the language correctly without using them. In English you could choose to tone-down the aspiration and it's quite likely no one would even notice. But in Chinese you would have trouble communicating.

    So according to their argument speaking Chinese is spreading Coronavirus more than English — but they'll never tell you that.

    Also: I doubt that such a small amount of air would make much of a difference.

    It wouldn't fit the narrative.

    They're delighted by the gullibility of people, and are having the time of their lives with this nonsense.

    They think most people are far beyond stupid.

    I wish it weren't so... :-/

      Plenty of liberals speak English.

      Hmm... I wonder who could be behind this... ?

      It's not The Onion, but it's still fake crap.

      Just another avenue of attack against European culture from the NWO.

      Yes, what the heck is this? Is it meant to be real or a joke? I can't tell. Have libtards completely lost their minds? I hope so. Or maybe it's too much tear gas.

        They'll probably try to tell us typing in english can spread the flu.
