This made me think:
There's a real tendency, not just here but amongst everyone taking part in the wider truth movement, to succumb to a certain hysteria founded in, I think, two things. The first is focusing on worst case scenarios (e.g. "the vaccine will kill everyone who takes it and they're going to force everyone to take it at gunpoint!") The second is to imagine all of the bad things that could happen in the future, happening to you, personally.
That's usually not the case, and I think it's symptom of information overload: receiving data from the entire planet, and then identifying with it as though it is (or could be) happening to one personally.
Will bad things happen? Sure. Freaky, weird stuff? Without doubt. But will all of the bad, weird things happen to you, personally? Almost certainly not. And, knowledge protects - if you're paying attention, you're much less likely to get hit by a car crossing the street ... and there's no reason to be consumed by anxiety about what you'll do if you do get hit by a car, as while such a thing is certainly possible in general (and inevitable for some), it is vanishingly unlikely for you so long as you look both ways each time you cross.
Think back to the last year of lockdowns. Certainly there's been some weird, tyrannical stuff. But how much of it has affected you, personally? Certainly it has ... But I doubt nearly as badly as those who succumbed to the fear porn and other elements of operant conditioning. For me, personally - and for many others - this year has been a fantastic opportunity for personal growth - to read, to think, to get myself in shape, to fix relationships, and generally to prepare. And I know that's the case for many others, as well ... Those who "pay attention to reality, left and right." Which isn't to say it hasn't been challenging. But it hasn't been all bad, either.
As the old song goes, "it's the end of the world as we know it/And I feel fine."
