I think the difference between what I described as a problem and what we should be doing now is the ability to rationalize and conceptualize why we should reject that authority.
From hippies back in the day to the Lefties now, almost all their reasoning is summed up as "i hate my dad" and "I want gimmies." They can read off a list of justifications, but they are all post hoc. They reflexively rejected, then made up a reason as to why.
Whereas I think most people could tell you why masks didn't work if they didn't want to wear them, as most probably were begrudgingly accepting of it during the "2 weeks" promised and then rejected.
Which is also why I try to caution people around here from falling into the same trap of "Lefties love it, must be woke trash!" Because it makes you just as easily manipulated and grifted, and removes your ability to think about an issue because you've already reflexively made up your mind. The RE4make was a good sign of how much people are willing to just eat outrage clickbait from our own sign and do no further thinking.
The best Leftist arguments back in the day were very much metaphysic nonsense. Basically, everything came down to John Lennon's "Imagine".
That's very true. Both woke and anti-woke are excellent ways to manipulate people emotionally. Anti-Communism, for example, has been repeatedly used by the Left to support Democratic Socialism. That's actually where the 3 Arrows comes from.
Even Mao once declared himself to be a "Rightist" and condemned the "Left Wing Adventurism" that had """"led to the famines"""". You know... his policies.
