For me, I now have very little personal duty or responsibility to anything or anybody.
Other than to the person to whom the most serious responsibility must be borne: yourself.
For me, I now have very little personal duty or responsibility to anything or anybody.
This is just getting ridiculous now.
I get where this comes from. There's times I've sat there and thought about wishing judgement, suffering, pain on these people I perceive to be pathetic and weak and bending the knee, rolling over so easily and ruining the world for all of us.
Then I remember how often I have to repeat stupid mistakes to learn really basic lessons in life, how humanity is just that on a grand scale. Who the hell am I to judge? And who are you to judge?
May the reader please imagine a very large hall in an old Gothic university building. Many of us gathered there early in our studies in order to listen to the lectures of outstanding philosophers and scientists. We were herded back there, under threat - the year before graduation in order to listen to the indoctrination lectures which recently had been introduced, .... For ninety minutes each week, [the "professor"] flooded us with naive, presumptuous paralogistics and a pathological view of human reality, We were treated with contempt and poorly controlled hatred. Since fun-poking could entail dreadful consequences, we had to listen attentively and with the utmost gravity
"You can't convince anyone this way!" we whispered to each other. "It's actually propaganda directed against themselves." But after such mind-torture, it took a long time for somone to break the silence. We studies ourselves, since we felt something strange had taken over our minds and something valuable was leaking away irretrievably. The world of psychological reality and moral values seemed suspended as if in a chilly fog. Our human feeling and student solidarity lost their meanings, as did patriotism and our old established criteria. So we asked each other, "are you going through this too"?
Each of us experienced this worry about his own personality and future in his own way. Some of us answered the questions with silence. The depth of these experiences turned out to be different for each individual. ... You can just imagine our worry, disappointment and surprise when some colleagues we knew well suddenly began to change their world view; their thought-patterns furthermore reminded us of the "professor's" chatter. Their feelings which had just recently been friendly, became noticeably cooler, although not yet hostile.
References from Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia only go so in far in today's environment that is very different in many ways from those periods of history. Those measures you mention were part of the conditioning of the population.
Been seeing a lot of people on social media saying things like:If you want to be a force of resistance choose your battles wisely.
It is actually true that if they manage to mandate the vaccine without immediate consequences they will not stop there. From there it can only get worse. A lot worse.
Should the punishment be to go to jail if you refuse the vaccine I have no problem with that.
Just for a contribution to overload the system. And then how are they going to lock up all those millions of people? It's actually quite a fun show to follow. Mainly because the PTB are losing their grip.
I am also quite curious about the possible allies I will meet there. I'm also behind on reading all the books so may well use the time for that.
But should it be tactically better to accept the vaccine for now I will. An interesting discussion to follow.
Been seeing a lot of people on social media saying things like:
"That's me going to the camps then"
"See you guys in the camps" etc
The longer this goes on the more hardened people are becoming in their stance of resistance really and even though severely outnumbered, the numbers are just too large for the PTB to do something and still maintain the mask of civility.
And not getting the jab in order to be of service to others might be a part of your journey.Getting the jab in order to be of service to others may be part of your journey.
I have similar impresson on the situation in the UK. Much ado without much legal force...Been seeing a lot of people on social media saying things like:

The longer this goes on the more hardened people are becoming in their stance of resistance really and even though severely outnumbered, the numbers are just too large for the PTB to do something and still maintain the mask of civility. For example, in the UK now there's a legal challenge to the government about proportionate actions and in specific, is it proportionate to force a jab on the last remaining 8% of refusers in the NHS? The government will be walked in to a corner where it'll look like a bully. To save face, of course they will walk back the mandate.
It will be interesting to see what happens in Austria and Germany come February.
I think Biden won't be able to impose his will on the whole of the US. The liberal states will become fascist but some of the red states will hold strong and unless he decides to push for some form of war then he'll just have to walk things back. Also there are the mid term elections next year so let's see the amount of rigging they'll get through especially now when many are expecting it.
The UK I think is interesting. Really the wall that is stopping the elites from really going like the Austrian government are the "laws" already in place and the history of Britain's role in WW2 (e.g. on why most are hesitant to show their "papers").
So to me feels like whilst some geographies are really embracing the darkness, others are digging in for a long battle.
At the beginning I was quite worried that many would compromise and now that I realise those who won't number in millions (c.4 million) at least here in the UK, I'm feeling rather optimistic. I'm expecting the numbers to be replenished when a couple million double jabbed refuse the booster. Also knocking on the door are all the injured looking to be heard and seeking compensation - they can only be ignored for so long. Also don't forget after winter comes summer and it'll be a hard sell then. Also we're now going into year no.3... fatigue will start setting in. Also, governments will soon have to turn to the economies which will push focus away from jabs. Also, people will see what is happening in other countries and it won't "taste" nice in their mouths. E.g. who could have watched this and thought it tasted nice? Even a good % of pro vaxxers would have vommed in their mouths.
So it's just a matter of biding time and digging in for now and not giving an inch (and many won't give an inch regardless of what people say about compromise and perspective). PTB basically have to remove their mask of civility and doing so means they may lose leverage. Sooooo.... keep on resisting is my motto.
Perhaps more simply put: we're all subject to believing lies, and we do. This is a forever, ongoing issue."all vaxers are....[insert pejorative]" this is, for the most part, NOT true
Thank you, BrandonYou can go to the session transcripts subforum and, in the search bar, change "everywhere" to "this forum" before performing the search, to narrow it down a bit. There might be a better way, not sure..
