I did not. I saw the monsters in my family and even my best friend and I moved to a red state.
I saw the true monsters, the gullibility, the susceptibility to nudging and manipulation, the absence of critical thought, the immersion in and addiction and religious faith in MSM, among almost everyone I ever knew, loved, worked with, grew up with, befriended. These are the “good” people who can be hypnotised and propagandised into doing bad things, ergo an existential threat. (In truth, they were mostly unavoidable relatives or a poor choice of bedfellows throughout my life). Not the people who would hide Anne Frank in the attic but they think they are. So I severed most ties I had, levelled up my acting skills at work, took my family as far away from it all as I could and we are building a completely different independent debt-free life making new friends. Life is short enough without being around people who can be commandeered into making it much shorter with the right amount of nudging.
You and I both. I moved to a Red State and most people I know here, decided not to take them. Those who did, one shot and regretted and telling me how much they regretted.
I think you just moved in down my street, Fren!
I am probably your next door neighbor.
BRAVO fren!
When the scamdemic first started, I saw a meme that said something to the effect of 'if you ever wondered how you would behave in Germany during WWII, now's the time that you will find out' - this has been in the back of my mind ever since then. I can't believe people that behaved like monsters now want us to forgive and forget and move on.
Forefront of my mind from the beginning.
Never would have believed it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes. Amazing lesson about humanity. Lucky to have learned it? Sure acted as a great editor in my life. More time for true friends and likeminded new friends.
This opened my eyes and made me less naive but at the same time very sad about life (can't think of a better way to put it).
Right? It was disheartening.
I knew that average people weren’t that “smart” but the shock of the “educated” not being the least bit cynical or curious. Seems that education or “smartness” has no bearing on people who are suspicious or not easily snowed or curious, or brave…
Makes it way harder to figure out who the good guys are…except for that red baseball hat! That’s a tell for sure. Love it!
Honestly, I don't think I would have ever believed it either. Fundamentally changed my view on the behavior of people.
It made me so sad for humanity…but then again…it made me think that maybe softness and sheeple are taking their own genes out of the evolutionary pool, and maybe that isn’t such a bad thing. Good times/weak men…
The end of last year, the MSM was trying to say that to us already. Mend fence and bridges.
F*ck that. But it is easy for things to get memory holed with everything else that is currently going on in 🤡🌎 - it is good to get a reminder like this from time to time, thank you ❤️
You are welcome. I get sad reading this. It's a reminder how much this crap changed our families.
Exactly. I remember the photo circulating when all the people were doing the heil Hitler salute and the one dude who did not. I could absolutely relate to that as you probably do, too.
💯
Just came across this and it is a well written rumination of the OPMartin Geddes What I saw in Occam’s Mirror
Wow. This is a good one. Can I post that to Twitter?
Sure…but I just read a much more recent one (previous was from last year!) and it is even better! Describes the weariness of anons… fantastic piece!
Another post pointed Me to this sub stack. Great stuff.
and yet you still kept going…
You have the best articles. How true! Love these.
