People where I live were generally behaving normally for the last few months like how it was before the globalist pandemic started but after the recent fearmongering, I sadly see many more useless masks on faces and I can see that the fear is spreading.
Yesterday my leftist aunt just went full Eric Ding level of COVID hysteria by trying to force double masking on my COVID recovered grandparents.
I was stunned when I learned that she actually got the booster shot after she had a bad adverse reaction that caused her a serious eye problem after the original two shots.
The rational members of my family have had to tell her to fuck off and not to torment my grandparents with her hysteria.
The sad truth is that the WEF globalists have already fully succeeded with their Great Reset plans. They have destroyed normality.
I am feeling more blackpilled than ever.
It's actually fascinating that people are able to maintain a consistent panic for so long. I haven't given a shit about this virus since I got it last year and it amounted to a stuffy nose.
I would have expected to see panic fatigue set in by now, and for everyone to just be bored and burnt out, especially in the liberal places which never broke lockdown.
It makes me wonder if people are really afraid at all. Maybe we're mis-interpreting this. Maybe people aren't afraid, maybe they're actually excited. Maybe this is like a horror movie adrenaline rush/virtue signal now, and leftists want it to continue because it gives them a feeling of purpose and righteousness they haven't had since religious revivals went out of style.
That has some truth to it. It makes them excited and they need that excitement to deal with their dull lives.
Well, it's the same people that fuel HOA horror stories. Or the same types who join certain community organizations in small towns and turn into Flower Nazis.
I think boredom is part of that. They have reached the American dream, and have nothing left.
There are also those who get to act as commissars in many countries where the "rules/laws" are little more than government guidance. Enough to give an outline for what should be done and create public shaming, but no actual legal push to do so meaning the various governments can turn around and say "We didn't force anyone to do that!"
There is a bit of that as well. But then everything is perfect again, and they are bored, so they make new rules or regulations.
The revealed preferences of the Branch COVIDians does not match their stated beliefs. If people thought there was still a pandemic, they wouldn't be out and about the way they are. If the masks worked the way people claim they do, they wouldn't be comfortable sitting down for a meal where everyone has to take their masks off. No one that you meet truly believes any of it.
I've had countless interactions with leftists who "forgot their masks".
If this were really a lethal pandemic, no one would fucking "forget" their mask.
Forgetting your mask in a lethal death-plague is about on par with forgetting your gun when you're storming the beaches of Normandy. How many soldiers forgot their basic equipment I wonder?
Same with wearing it properly. Like its pretty simply to do, and if the death plague was that bad you would deal with how uncomfortable it is to make sure it was affixed proper.
"So long as man remains free he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find someone to worship."
-- Fyodor Dostoevsky
“When man ceases to worship God he does not worship nothing but worships everything.”
-- G.K. Chesterton
"There is a God-shaped hole in the human heart that only God can fill."
-- Augustine, Bishop of Hippo
This is true because selective breeding. If someone did not worship god, they were a heretic and killed. Thus people have been conditioned to follow the group and bow to whatever idol was erected at the local church.
So you’re theory is that the belief in God is a genetic phenomenon? Can beliefs be transmitted genetically?
Yes! Well, almost. I remember seeing a study that liberal/conservative values had a genetic component. That hole people feel that spirituality seems to fill also likely is genetic, as spirituality is a means for a tribe to bond together over something besides blood. Religion is really important for maintaining a larger tribe.
The pope gave them a free pass because banking IS a useful tool. But relying on foreigners for banking clearly has been a disaster.
There's no fatigue because people have no meaning or purpose in their life and being scared of something gives them some semblance of meaning.
Yeah the maskers now see it as a status symbol.
