What if governments learned from the MKUltra experiments in the 50's that trauma allows you to control people, so they purposely orchestrate disastrous events to keep their citizens afraid + dependent on them, and that's one of the reasons that mental illness has been rising? lol
The best example was the survey showing that a majority of democrats believe covid-19 results in hospitalization for 20-50% of cases. The actual number is 1-5%, and we all know it's closer to that 1%. I don't see how such misinformation can be blamed on anyone other than media. Where else would these people have gleaned such a wildly exaggerated conception of the threat posed by the virus?
There was a recent study that looked at co morbidities, peak prosperity went through it.
Obviously #1 was obesity, interestingly and ironically enough, "anxiety or fear related disorder" was the #2 co morbidity. But only if you'd developed it during covid, pre existing anxiety disorders are not a relevant co morbidity.
So there is not scientific backing that the media is scaring people to death.
I’m probably older than many here, but the fear I have witnessed the media pushed in my lifetime is absurd. It’s bad now, but the ‘80’s were really bad as well. I can’t even remember them all.
The Halloween candy has needles and razor blades so homemade treats are now verboten and you have to get everything x rayed.
Missing children. You’d seriously have thought kids disappeared from every block in America every month.
Satanism. This one was huge. “There may be satanic rituals taking place in your neighborhood! Stay tuned, stay informed.”
Drugs. This was a full on “war.” Junior is going to get handed drugs, hard drugs, everyday at school. The fear factor on this turned up huge in the 80’s because it was Nancy Reagan’s pet. There were kindergarteners getting lectured by cops.
There were legitimate safety campaigns around things like drunk driving or seat belts (when I was little I rode in the front seat and my seat belt was my mom’s arm), but then in the ‘90’s all of the fear porn morphed into Hillary Clinton and Tipper Gore basically morphing a supermajority of middle aged American women into overbearing helicopter soccer moms. It was fucking surreal to watch as the “It Takes a Village” dreck became mainstream.
But COVID has taken that fear porn and magnified it by a thousand. The younger generation is destroyed.

This frankly just seems the like the elite immunizing the populace against accusations that they themselves engage in rituals/practices that the populace would find morally/spiritually abhorrent.
You forgot Alar and the dreaded MEDFLY that was going to eat all the fruits to extinction or something like that.
And I remember getting lectured by a cop in grade 2 or so (this would have been very early seventies), but I think he was just there to let us know about Officer Friendly, and how we should "look for a cop" if we were alone and in trouble. I don't think they were walking a beat any more even by that time. I do recall he passed around a bullet for us to examine, and I don't recall him advising us to wash our hands of the lead after. Naughty. Oh, and maybe he had some Elmer the Safety Elephant crap, too.
I think they were already pushing the "cigarettes are bad" thing, though, as I also vaguely recall getting my ass whipped for dropping a pack of smokes in the can.
Oh, yeah. Spawned the movie The Swarm, which was meant to compete with the superior Nightwing, which was also based on a minor, failed RL scare about vampire bats moving northward. I remember seeing these movies at the theatre/reading the latter book.
Not the case in my area. Last Friday night's football game was the most crowded game I have EVER seen.
Now having said that, it does seem like there are "regular people" on Facebook that have got to be getting paid to spread fear porn because they just constantly post leftist messaging. I have to go onto FB every day for work just to check a couple of work related pages and have been noticing this. Have been unfollowing so many people it is insane!
I remember an article that said (paraphrasing) "even big pharma doesn't like Trump!". Leftists thought this was some kind of validation. In reality, he was forcing them to lower drug prices. It was a serious "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" moment.
It's the same stupidity over $15 minimum wage. The normies think this is so great. All it does is put every mom and pop shop out of business meanwhile McDonalds has you ordering at a screen. They really are going to create the huge company dystopia so often predicted or written about it books and movies.
I'll see people that posted fear porn all week show up at the bar on Friday night. It's mostly empty virtue signaling. And to think they do it for free.
Any investigation in the future would just show it was trump and his supporters fault.
The politicians must maintain their power at our expense.

I was sorry to hear about your imminent death by heart-attack gun. RIP.

Goes hand in hand with child kidnappings and trafficking across the border.
A chunk of a family got wiped out by that. Never caught the guy but I remember my mom throwing away the Tylenol. Good memory by you!
I really like Styxzhexenhammers monikor of describing these as a "moral panic" I find it very effective to conceptualise and explain to others.

Yeah, the medfly. And the killer bees! Who can forget the killer bees?

Remember when big pharma was the prime evil not more than a couple of years ago? How times have changed.

Are you certain they aren't paid? I've dealt with that interesting problem before.

This has been my experience. Some of the most obnoxious violators also can't help but post pictures of their weekend escapades.
And you're on Facebook...why?
At least the local subs are starting to get tired of it but god damn the branch covidian retards sure are dragging this shit out
