My wife was flipping through news articles last night and informed me that several localities are going into a state of emergency due to the eclipse.

Have the men of the world now succumbed to the point of ignorance and unbridled superstitious folly that they now fear a two minute shadow that's been forecasted to take place well in advance? Are the people of the land so pathetic and callow that they must be guarded against harmless celestial events?

Of course they are. I remember the Covidiots. I find myself surprised ihere isn't an "eclipse glasses mandate" for the 72 hours around the event, forcing people to wear them at all times, even when indoors and not looking at the sun, even not during the eclipse. Only for it to be revealed that the glasses gave a false sense of security and half the ones distributed actually were ineffective at preventing blindness.

The places declaring emergencies are doing so because they are small population areas that are expecting a huge influx of outside visitors who want to see the totality event. Some areas are estimating their populations to double due to these visitors which would overwhelm their towns. It's not the darkness or the ignorance driving this declaration of emergency. There are some idiots who fear that, but in this case there really is something that is a threat to these small towns.

correct. Niagara falls says its expecting something like 1 million people flocking there to watch it. To put that in perspective when that dude walked across the falls on a tightrope there were approx 150,000 people there to see it.

I wonder how many of these "visitors" will be illegals who will be covertly dropped in these small, mostly conservative towns. This could be an exploit that will enable more invaders to infiltrate White rural areas.

One day soon these "visitors" are going to start "disappearing" under mysterious circumstances, and the world will be a better place for it.

They are declaring emergencies to normalize declaring emergencies for things that obviously are not emergencies. Soon, we will live in a perpetual state of emergency, where anything slightly out of the normal happening will result in a state of emergency, during which your rights will be limited for the common good.

Don't worry Morbo, you will get used to it.
