Saw this yesterday:
The above made me think of what the Cs said - that we've had the power all along just like Dorothy and her ruby slippers to "go home". Simply do not comply. And the PTB know this which is why they whipped up a "compliance" virus and are censuring/blocking the free flow of information that the advent of the internet blew wide open. They are losing their grip and they are petrified - the only job they know how to do is run (into the ground) people's lives/things - just like the generals who are now being castigated for their complete failure in Afghanistan as well as the entire middle east military intervention. Tucker Carlson has used his unique media platform to call these generals and Biden out. And he believes in equal treatment if the shoe fits - IOW the GOP: Fox News host
Tucker Carlson blasted the Republican Party in a new interview published this week, calling the GOP "inept" and lacking the ability to govern.
They will go too far - they will fail. Their hubris will be their undoing. Meanwhile, civil disobedience has sprung to life.
Russians had the benefit of having survived very hard lessons wrt government.
Here in Canada, half the people I know would be thoroughly confused if you asked them to not comply with government covid dictates, with half of
those being in rabid
support of those dictates. In living memory, Canadians have not had to endure a complete collapse of corrupt government, to struggle through 20 years of violent mobster rule to emerge into an age of legitimate government again.
I'm sure Russians appreciate their current government, but they are also not asleep and naive. They remember what it's like to be bullied by tyrants and are still sore about it, unwilling to play along with evil.
I can tell you flat out that many people in my community (who already proudly proclaim their vaccine status), will energetically comply, seek out passport apps, listen attentively to the CBC news discussions on the best way to integrate the "new normal" into their lives, how to best run it on their phones and above all, will quietly feel pride in being "permitted" to enter businesses while (politely) looking down their noses at those of us who choose to exercise rational caution.
-These are people so disconnected that they cannot conceive of a world where disobedience of official culture is a valid or sensible option. They may grumble and complain about the
effects of a lockdown, (oh, it's SO hard! I haven't had a haircut in weeks!) but will absolutely go along with it. They think of government policy as more than human-imposed law, but rather
universal law, like gravity or energy conservation. (What do you mean
not comply? What are you talking about? What's
wrong with you?)
It's also interesting that the C's mentioned that the Russian vaccines are as bad as the Western versions.
On the plus side...
I've talked with several people about the coming troubles. There are those of us who are very well-informed, are firmly against being drugged and who are calmly building alternative systems and networks to keep ourselves alive and well when things get hard.
One of the interesting aspects of this I've noted is the way in which such people make contact with each other; it starts with subtle social signals and cues, feeling people out before touching on verboten subjects. It's seems to be an old and quite natural process built into humans. For people who have trouble reading social situations, who don't "Human Well" this would be like trying to navigate a house warming party or other social event if everybody attending was actively
suppressing their expressiveness, trying conceal their thoughts and feelings. If you aren't a very well attuned human, you'd be even more lost.
-And this is before there have even been examples of people being hauled off in the middle of the night, so the survival imperative to play it safe and subtle hasn't fully kicked in yet.
Lobaczewski noted that as ponerized society ages, two distinct cultures emerge by force of nature to exist side by side, one largely invisible to the other.
