Makes a little more sense in a culture that's totally lost the distinction between "leader" and "manager." Just gotta know the vocabulary!

Death by middle managers... office space was prophetic

Just watched this again the other night. Holy moly it's prophetic.

I've just seen a short "but its got electrolytes" clip of Idiocracy, when Mathew Crawford said Antibodies are like Electrolytes. An exact replica of the "but it generates antibodies" excuse for the "vaccines".

The only thing the "help" in that picture is missing is 37 pieces of flare on their masks!...:)

When I see masks on CHILDREN I want to use a baseball bat to beat the shit out of...er....a copier!

I have remarked to people that anyone who puts a mask on a child or orders one is an unqualified child abuser. I don’t care anymore.

Expand full comment

I would agree, and asked every child that I saw with one to take it off...immediately! I would never allow a child with one in my house. I teach privately. Recently, I told a lady in the waiting room of an Orthopedic clinic ( no one is wearing a mask, not even the docs) that perhaps she did not get the latest memo that confirmed all masks were useless, and at the worst, harmful to anyone who donned one. I had lots of evidence to quote, studies etc..she had nothing, zilch...and eventually she had nothing more to say, looked exasperated and left the waiting room..I wonder where she went? I never cared what people think, and never wore a mask...anywhere..not always easy, but it was doable. Masks on kids is abuse. Pure and simple. I am a teacher by the way, so in fact, we are not all crazy Karens! I know some are. Sad really. Some of us are able to think for ourselves, and know exactly what is going on.

So is "The Office" which I am binge-watching.

I love love that show.

No, its a movie called Office Space. And anyone who has ever worked in a cubicle office instantly recognizes the genius reality of it.

Expand full comment

Sorry to contradict you, but "The Office" is not the same as "Office Space", although they deal with the same subject. "The Office" is an American TV series starring Steve Carrell as the clueless inept boss. It's based on the British TV series of the same name starring Ricky Gervais. And yes, I have seen all three.

My bad. I thought you were asking a question about whether the quotes were from the Office or Office Space. I misread that. Oh well, misinterpretation is a classic office move ..

Expand full comment

DING, DING, DING! You have stated why were were mandated to wear masks. People with masks are made to feel powerless. It is psychological. Masked people are not heard so they don't speak. Masking reduces rebellion as the people in power can then punish those who refuse the mask for not masking, thus squash rebellion without actually calling it a rebellion, just being selfish for not masking or wanting to kill grandma. Look here, not there.

Expand full comment

Yep! Studies do not support mask use to prevent illness. However, studies do support mask use to limit communication, increase compliance, and decrease dissent.

Expand full comment

What it did for me is it made me miss faces...really appreciate faces. I don't think I could muster a joke about "you're so ugly your parents gave you a paper bag to wear over your head." Because an "ugly face" is far more exceptional than no face at all.

Expand full comment

I am deaf in one ear due to a birth defect and my other ear is not so good. I use lip reading and facial expressions to effectively communicate. Put a mask on and not only is their speech muffled, there is no lip reading and few facial expressions. You need to see the whole face to tell if the squinty eyes is humor or anger for example.

Not only did I know that masking was a farce, it made communication extremely difficult when it is usually just mildly hard. A few times I had to resort to asking service people to write what they were asking or saying as they refused to remove their mask.

So many people are in love with masking and I just want to scream that they are idiots. I flew a number of times during the airline mask mandates and on shorter flights I nibbled and sipped as much as I could. Longer flights I about died. The flight attendants seemed to love the role of mask police too. I was upgraded to first class on one flight and the guy behind me in a normal tone and volume as he was sitting down and buckling up, said that he hated having to wear a mask. He got ejected within seconds by the flight attendant. He wasn't disrupted and he wasn't refusing to wear one. That was the last flight of the night to our destination too.

Expand full comment

Even if your not deaf, hearing someone through a muffled mask is difficult. Everyone uses lip reading to some degree. While in a bar restaurant, half of the conversation is dependent upon lip reading. I made it clear to anyone, masked or unmasked, that they were welcome to sit with me as long as they understood this face would wear no mask. I had a couple masked people sit next to me. I tried to drum up conversation with them, but masking made it too difficult. Yes, it doesn't take much to wear a mask, but try to understand someone wearing one.

To that person who made a comment about the mask who got ejected. What would happen if he made some comment about the space in front of the seat? Or what if he said something about the seatbelts being out of date? The narrative only flows in one direction. And yes, one thing this pandemic has underlined is how people, given some sense of authority, love using it. To me it would be one huge hassle.

I heard Kami repeating the "your mask protects me" mantra. So in this pic who is it Kami cares about? Just an observation...

Expand full comment

The psychopaths in authority were attracted to become 'leaders' and eased their way up the greasy pole of a broken and corrupt system because they ARE psychopaths who are natural followers but harbour a manic desire to exercise control in order to compensate for their cowardly sheep-like instincts. The people who never wore masks and resisted getting the jabs were never followers, but paradoxically, they are the least attracted to becoming 'leaders'. That's a problem. That's why we need a completely new system of governance.

Expand full comment

Interesting that those who never got VaXXXed and resisted wearing masks (I just felt "stupid" doing it when in the bosses office) were spread across all societal, educational, and economic lines. Well, democRats were more compliant for sure, but so many conservatives "fell into line" also. :-( sadly.

Underlying my understanding of the VaXXX consequences was just an inherent knowingness saying Hell No, no friggin way, Nada, Zilch, Zero chances of getting jabbed.

Three of my favourite quotes [more or less correctly cited]:

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars (Oscar Wilde).

We are all equal, but some of us are more equal than others (George Orwell).

We are in this together (NHS - England).

I follow politics, but do not engage, as most are clueless...my time is best spent teaching children how to think for themselves so they can tell the difference between the truth, and the lies spit out by these so called politicians. We are in such a mess. I focus on preparing the future....working with children has been the greatest gift I have ever received. It gives me hope which is hard to find these days. And they make me laugh almost every day. That in itself is beautiful.

One of the things (and only one of the many) that bothers me is how do these folks not see the hypocrisy? If a picture represents a thousand words; the words I am hearing are completely different from their spoken words.

If you are referring to the self entitled, they relish the hypocrisy, it is their tiara of power. If you are referring to those observing the hypocrisy, they are silent lest they be cast out of view.

That mandatory masks can't be forbidden after all the evidence as to their uselessness, testifies to the scope of their unanimty.
