My wife and I are not employed, so we are not directly affected by the injection mandates for employees. We've become aware of many people in our small town that were AGAINST the jabs and were steadfastly rejecting any such demands. Now, push is coming to shove, and it is disheartening to see people that seemed so full of integrity caving in with pathetic little whimpers of excuses.
I feel unable to criticize them because of my position but they fail to see that my wife and I made huge sacrifices years ago so that we'd be better able to resist something like this. We live offgrid in a glorified tent. We gave up our vehicles and licenses. We poop in buckets. We haul all our water in buckets (different buckets). We go without a lot of luxuries and conveniences so that we can be closer to freedom. I feel like we are looked at with scorn because of our seemingly "comfortable" position right now, but we were pitied not long ago because of what they perceived as our "poverty".
It is painful to watch as people trade away their dignity in exchange for the things they consider necessities. What could be more necessary than your dignity?!
At least as the situation is now (while there are still options: it has become a dividing point for those opposed to the mandates.
Some are finding their strength and standing for their beliefs, often finding better jobs elsewehere or at least renewing their sense of self-worth. Others are caving, making excuses and ultimately showing how they would react when met with tyranny face to face.
Again, this is not a blanket statement and it reflects this current time, but it is a generally accurate narrative within the situation we find ourselves. Many value comfort over freedom.
Yup ! Comfort sold cheap at a camp with a fence down the road by the industrial park.
