Damned right. A buddy of mine posted on Telegram the other day, "Stop calling it 'vaccine hesitancy' because that implies that eventually I might say 'yes' and that is never going to happen."
1) Isolation – social distancing, physical distancing, quarantines at home and in other facilities, semi-isolation from elderly family members, lack of physical contact with loved ones, lack of ability to attend funerals and weddings.
2) Monopolization of Perception – general restriction of all movement, prevent social gatherings including church, meetings, sporting events, concerts, complete control of the mainstream media and its coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic.
3) Induced Debilitation/Exhaustion – stay-at-home orders, exercising and socializing is banned, exposed to 24 hour a day, 7 day a week negative media coverage.
4) Threats – threats of fines and or imprisonment for breached emergency order laws, threaten to close businesses, threaten shuttering of all travel, threaten mandatory vaccines, heavy-handed use of police to enforce laws created under Emergency Orders.
5) Occasional Indulgences – some intermittent reopening of stores and restaurants under strict rules including social distancing/capacities, increase the number of people that are allowed to meet in homes, churches, long-term care centres, allow small weddings and funerals.
6) Demonstrating "Omnipotence" and "Omniscience" – force dependency on government handouts because of massive unemployment levels related to shuttering of the economy, develop surveillance techniques to ensure that social distancing and quarantining rules are being adhered to, float trial balloons about the need for a government-mandated Universal Basic Income, use of social media to ensure that only the pro-vaccine narrative receives coverage while all other theories are considered "fake news".
7) Degradation – humiliate people who refuse to wear masks, social distance or accept vaccination, force people to walk in a certain direction in public places and stand in certain places when eating in line, force people to wait in line to access goods and services.
8) Enforcing Trivial Demands – family members must not be in close contact with each other, suggestions like wearing a mask or using glory holes while having sex, force people to wear masks while in their own home while at the same time government officials don't obey their own proclamations.
Yep. I've been going to the protests in New Zealand with my family. I am really scared before each one - but I always feel so damned sure I did the right thing afterwards. They have been tame so far. I don't know how brave I can be when push comes to shove. I'm worried I won't be as brave as I want/need to be. But I guess I am going to at least try and find out.
I used to really, really like our Prime Minister. Now I am afraid of her, and I feel the need to protect my child from her. I think she would pretty much murder my child in her sleep to achieve an international magazine cover story. What the hell has happened?
"so drop the federal contracts. it’s what, 3% of your revenue?"
Right. And if he stood up for his employees and for freedom, he would make it up and much more with passengers who would be happy to support Southwest with their business...
Yes and we must also be single issue voters. The ONLY issue that matters now is vaccine mandates-passports. I am pro choice, but I will enthusiastically vote Republican in all elections. I did so in 2020. And I will only vote for a candidate who can beat the democrat. No third party or write in candidates.
Every. Word. I like to think I "fought" for my "rights" no matter how small they seem- writing letters to the "powers that be" regarding closing out fitness facilities, making suggestions, getting our "band" back together (ukuleles) much to some protesting and still fearful. I hope I have led my example by never wearing a mask, being yelled at for not wearing a mask early on, and showing up at my mom's 95th birthday party, unmasked, with my unvaccinated daughter two weeks ago to spend time with her. Hey, she's still kicking, much to my sister's chagrin. She really hoped we would "kill G'ma" so she could continue the drama. Being retired I can't push the "no masks on kids" at my workplace, but I can thank moms in the stores for letting me see their kid's smiles. Doing what I can with my small platform.
The region near Sydney in which I live (pop ~300k) is at 93% first dose. How does one rise against this? I feel I'm completely surrounded by the enemy.

Does anyone out there notice who the non compliant are? The ones not at all brainwashed. The only ones not utterly zombified, but actually read and listen to all things about the vaccine and about the virus, think about it, toss out BS (and wooo there is some BS out there on both sides).
I even recognize them when I am out and about. I like to recall the defiant faced man who walked around Harmons (A grocery store) without a mask about 5 months into the insanity. He had an "I dare you" look. Gave me courage to wave the figurative middle finger from that point forward.
I volunteer daily at a small nonprofit. Several of the employees (younger women: 20s-30s) had mild cases of COVID recently. To them, and indeed any who will listen, I basically tell them that if they've had the disease, they've now got better immunity than the jab would give. If they've already had the jab and they still got sick, well, it doesn't work very well, does it? And finally, if they haven't gotten the jab or are considering a booster, avoid it because of the risk of side effects. It's not much, but I also notice that no one has told me to mind my own business yet, either.

"You comply because you want it to end, but it never ends because you comply." Sounds like battered wife syndrome.

Don't know if you've seen this letter from an ICU physician about vaccine related injuries. But this is probably a good place to post a link

Mao tse tung method of brainwashing:
Convince people that they are sick and that they’re not going to make it in the world, and that they’re going to be helped by government.
Apply this in a group setting where people such as the media and peers work on you to help you see the light.
Easy peasy.

welcome to the infinite loop everyone
convince people they're heros for masking and the unmasked appear as villains
then do vaccines
How are all the unvaccinated not dead yet? 😜
