It is very odd how much the whole Covid panic and vax apartheid + gestapo lockdowns has been swept under the rug…
Even people I know really, really don’t want to talk about it…
I didn’t notice this in Sweden so much (where, admittedly, authorities behaved much more rationally), but since I’ve been back in Straya, I’ve really noticed just how hush hush everyone is about all that happened…
Which is interesting to observe. And worries me for the next time something like this happens (Monkeypox lockdowns, anyone? Or EEE or whatever it was in Massachusetts?).
It honestly feels like most people here haven’t learnt a thing, from any of it.
Side note: of all the raving loonies I met in Sweden, the two who were most obsessed with Covid were both Australian. Also three of the five or so “non-binaries” I met during that time. With all five of those coming from the Anglosphere…
We can laugh and point all we want at continental Europe, but much of this shit is extremely Anglosphere-dominated, for all that is worth…
I think they don't want to talk about it out of fear, like June 4th in China.
They're behaving like the East Germans under the Stasi, where they know if they say the wrong thing the state will come for them so they don't say anything.
And they're not wrong. Even today they risk being kicked out of their entire social club for "sounding like a Trumpster". They see Youtube-CDC 'you're bad if you watch this' placard on any real information and know if they watch too much it'll go on their permanent record to be used against them later.

They shot Trump last month and it's already long out of the newscycle.
Not even his supporters care anymore about the details beyond reposting his fist-in-the-air iconic pic.
