So, this was interesting. I so wanted to jump in, but also just wanted to sit back and listen to what they said. I did the latter. An older couple talking. The woman spoke quietly. I don't know if that was her natural mode of speaking or perhaps she didn't want to be overheard. Anyway, she said something along the lines of 'so many sick people. So many mentally ill. Who is normal any more?'
The man, presumably her husband said something like, "Yeah, with all the mentally ill, the lgbtq types, the drug addicts (and so forth) the world might not even be worth living in pretty soon."
It really struck me. We talk about the nutsos here all the time, but it just hit me like a ton of bricks. There are SO many 'off' people. From those with TDS (for no apparent reason) to the liars and cheats in politics, to the men who think they're women, to the men who think having sex with other men is normal, to the nutbag teachers telling your kids to call them 'they/them' to the antifa types, and on and on and on. It does sometimes feel like the normal, mentally and emotionally healthy folks are dwindling.
To me, it will have to take a HUGE reveal by the WHs to snap people out of their mental fog and snap them back to reality. And it can't come soon enough.
I do think part of the issue is CV hangover. There is a low level depression across society in general which makes people very vulnerable.
That's a good point. And I forgot to mention it in my OP. THAT whole group of people is another to add to the 'mentally ill.' Those who went off the deep end with their accusations against those who didn't participate in the experiment.
Think you're onto something there. Most seem depressed and demoralised.
