I'm pretty sure the DNC simply tells them what to say and they do their best to not make it obvious. Not that they've been particularly effective at hiding who their masters are these days. Their Covid scam red pilled a lot of people, and I've coined (at least as far as I know) the term "Covid conservative". Remember when The Science knew that Trump was right about the lab leak and kept their mouths shut because they were more concerned about not validating him than telling the truth?

Did it really though? It seems to me that the vast majority of the population just blindly went along with it rather than develop even an iota of skepticism about what was happening. No one I'm aware of had any grand revelations as a result of Covid and its attendant misdeeds.

Maybe a lot was an overstatement but I saw some movement in my personal life.

There were some small glimmers of hope that shown themselves during COVID but I haven't seen anything since. It's enough to keep my hopes up that they aren't TOO far gone.

Most people went along with it because the frog got boiled on them. Its not like everyone was told the full plan when lockdowns started, it was just supposed to be two quick weeks and by then all of society was participating so resistance was pretty futile for the individual.

But before even that summer ended I personally saw growing swaths of my local area both stop caring and stop believing. Even my own corporation said, in response to Biden's attempt at force vaxxs, that "we haven't seen sicknesses drop since the vaxx started so we ain't doing that."

So while its untested how people will react if it happens again, I can guess that any repeat will see far less compliance both on the personal and especially on the business side.

I'd consider myself a "COVID conservative".

I'd already discovered KiA & KiA2 pre-COVID, but I certainly wasn't fully redpilled yet.

I used to find John Oliver entertaining.

I can't go back to some of the normie communities I used to participate in pre-COVID because they are too cringe.

I was the same with John Oliver, but I think that might have been before covid. It was when his show was brand new and I thought, “oh nice, a show about trying to get to the truth of things no matter what.”….. then his bias unraveled at an accelerated pace and it became unwatchable.

I'm not sure if it's just a copypasta on Twitter, but it's so true that Oliver's show is a perfect example of Pavlovian conditioning.

His entire show is:

  • motormouth stream of consciousness leftist BS
  • pause with non sequitur to mock a right-wing figure with associated laugh track
  • no chance for a recovery phase or for the listener to actually break down the quip
  • immediate segue back into motormoutn propaganda
  • repeat
