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.
As always, The Protomen are relevant to any discussion.
Very Meatloaf-like
Mucho Gusto.
That being said, I don't have the villains view of man. I just view that man has been conditioned to give himself a god to lord over him. I think man can and will mature long enough to never need a god again, but we have to kill all our own gods to do that. That can't be done by killing other people's gods. You have to only kill your own. The final vestige of your enslavement to another exists within your own mind.
And I've lectured other people on heroism before. A hero is not a good thing. A hero is a sign of systemic failure. If you take time reading Medal of Honor citations, acts from people who's actions are going to be considered heroic even by their enemies, you find one thing that's common in nearly all of them: a total collapse of the system to support them.
A hero is the person who stands up and makes the system work while it fails. Whether it's Shughart & Gordan, charging out into Mogadishu alone because no one could support another rescue mission; or Meyer personally charging a pickup truck into an enemy village at least 4 times under heavy fire because artillery support was refused; or Chapman charging a Taliban bunker to relive machine gun fire that was suppressing his team, and then fighting to the death in it; they all show heroism by sacrificing themselves at the alter of a system that failed them. Heroism is a sign of systemic failure. Heroism should be avoided, because it shouldn't have been needed in the first place.
I'd recommend listening to their two albums then, because the entirety of both is about deconstructing the idea of a hero actually making a difference. Every time one rises up the people rally behind him, but no one will actually stand by his side. They want him to completely liberate them from their chains without any work of their own other than "supporting" him. And the moment he isn't their hero who is going to save them, they abandon him to go home and cry about how oppressed they are. Something I think we can all relate to in the current "culture war."
Its also a great listen because moral quandaries like that aside its almost a (likely unintentional) deconstruction of two major Leftist weapons.
The entire society got that bad in the first place because one bad guy abused the media coverage of a crime to whip up a frenzy of a lynch mob to discredit the only man who would oppose him, and then when the justice system failed (aka found the man innocent because he didn't do it) he told the people it couldn't protect them and they should support him because he could.
At which point he sweeps himself into full dictator power by promising people they will never have to work again, they will simply live in the city doing whatever they want forever and his robots will do all the actual tasks. All they need to do is obey his government. Those that don't just disappear and everyone pretends its better this way.
It was profound in 2008 and now its god damned prophetic in 2021.
The horrible, terrible, awful truth...
... is that no one was ever going to save you.
You had to do it yourself.
The good news is that once your realize that, you can actually make your world a better place. If you can inspire other people to help save them selves.
Well, then you really will save the world.
The villain says: "I will save you from the evil of this world."
The actual hero says: "You can save yourself from the evil of this world."
