Covid took over the world around 3 and a half years ago. The shut downs, ended around 2 and a half years ago. The Vax mandate madness ended around a year and a half ago.
Yet there's a small percent of us that absolutely adored every moment of the insanity. Today, I saw a guy running outside in 101 degree temperate while wearing a mask.
I'm pretty sure that there have been 4 boosters now, so that would be a total of 6 vaccine shots these people would have endured to date to feel safe. Yet, obviously they are signalling to the world they do not feel safe, because they are wearing a mask.
At work, there is a long haired Trump hating hippie (used to work in my department) that I see occasionally. He has never stopped wearing TWO masks. Why?? I hate reaching him on the phone because his voice is always so muffled.
Certainly these mask wearing fearful types must have tested for covid more times than anyone else around. My guess is they have all had at least 2 cases of Covid with syptoms and 2 cases of Covid without symptoms. They clearly must know it is unlikely they will die from this disease.
They're behavior is really inexplicable. It kind of reminds me of the savages that worshipped the power of King Kong or some other mighty force of nature whose nature must be revered.
Now it looks like the government might want to return to the mandates again. Most people will think "NO! What a pain in the ass over nothing that would be!" Yet, these people are elated about it. It is like they learn there will be a sequel to their favorite movie.
Does anyone here have a relationship close enough with a person like this to understand what they are really thinking?
(Dr Jan, is that you?) I recently read the post about her interview with Nino, was going to expound there, but I’ll do it here instead. Yes, I know several ridiculous liberals, have known them for decades. There are two main characteristics that I see.
Some are generally gullible and quite trusting of the FNM talking heads. Because of this misplaced trust in very bad people they suffer greatly from FEAR. I won’t get into specifics since not only patriots read this board, but also DS beasts trying to gather data on how to best improve their tactics. I’ve found that pointing out the subtle way that FNM manipulates people, their tactics, etc. will help to nudge them towards thinking for themselves.
The second main characteristic of at least those liberals I know - without exception - is very low self-esteem. I know this because several have shared their anguish over not “measuring up” with me. FNM has created for them an environment where they can feel like they’re part of “the IN crowd”, some of them for the first time in their lives. They’re told (that if they obey) they’re more noble, more intelligent, caring, better people than those who think for themselves. I’ve waded into the cesspool of FNM for years to watch their tactics and can see the poor sheeple lapping up the BS happily. They get told what they’ve always wanted to hear, aka positive reinforcement.
You know what breaks this hold pretty well in most instances? Being shown how they’re being ridiculed by those they’ve been trusting. We need a lot more of this, imho. Show “the elites” with their private jets and SUVs, dining out side-by-side, maskless laughing with each other after taking a group shot with the face diapers on, tell the sheeple that omicron was a blatant example of ridicule (anagram of moronic) and that these beasts are just laughing behind the sheeple backs. Surely someone must have some clandestine footage of one of the FNM talking heads speaking off camera about how their viewers are idiots who will believe anything. Break the (misplaced) trust, break the spell, open the minds up to start thinking and stop fearing. My humble two cents.
The problem with this tactic is if they don’t see it on FNM then “it didn’t happen”. My sister still doesn’t believe Hunter even smoked crack.. fucking brainwashed to the core and in Lala land.
It’s frustrating when you know and try to enlighten those you love. They’ve been instructed - by FNM talking heads - to not even look at “the lies” by “non-approved sources”. What’s amazing is how so many of them actually comply. They WANT to believe in their little fantasy bubble world.
Back when they came out with the omicron/moronic variant, I told an NPC that the beasts were laughing at them (the vax-booster crowd) and he was taken aback, didn’t go for the next booster and asked for the link to the Ron Johnson hearing on vax injuries (when I told him about the increase in cancer). I don’t know if he’s been subsequently scared back into submission and has started up his boosters again, but at least I was able to keep him from playing that round of Russian roulette. That little club they think they’re in is awfully appealing to them.
If there was actual footage of a FNM talking head mocking them and they wouldn’t look at it, I’d simply say “Suit yourself. The number of people who HAVE looked at it and have finally woken up to the FNM lies is already huge and growing. You can choose to be one of the dwindling few left clinging on hard to the BS they’ve been peddling if you want. God gave us all free will including that which allows you to make serious, even fatal mistakes. Your choice, your consequences. Everyone else will have moved forward by then.” The very thought of the rest of the herd moving off to the right while they’re left alone ought to scare/motivate them.
I get subscriptions to The Epoch Times. It accidentally worked for our elders and then dropping sections off with people has some real effects. Unbelievable how seeing something in print will 'make it real' for many.
