Unfortunately and the truth, is that most people are dumb. It was that way from the beginning and it will be that way to the end. Those with the ability to reason and apply logic saw through this from the beginning. The blind masses are still banning their children from coming for Chistmas, even though they are double vaxxed with the booster, because their kids put them at "risk". Did I say dumb? Let me also add selfish and evil to that.

This ends badly for a large chunk of people who will develop autoimmune issues, a lot leading to death. It is happening now and it seems to be progressive. Even with that the lie will continue. I've always thought we are going through a Darwinian selection event. Perhaps it is right that those who jab themselves and their children are not fit with the necessary skepticism to live in a potentially totalitarian world that technology is pushing towards. Their non-resistance will doom the rest of us. Perhaps Fauci and the jabs were inevitable in one form or the other and it's time that the dumb, who are have genetics that make them immediately trusting of centralized authority, need to leave the island. That's a bad adaptation to have in the coming world. Just thinking out loud here.

Both dark and apt. I would like to encourage you to be more optimistic but irrational fear and gullibility have led us down very dark roads before and we are pretty far down this one already. I am amazed every day by the number of people who just can’t admit that they were bamboozled and move on with their lives. It is clear that as a species we tend not to learn from either experience or observation.

"I do have a test today, that wasn't bullshit. It's on European Socialism. I'm not European, nor do I plan on being European, so who gives a crap if they're socialists? It still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car!" ~FB

It was a mistake, we should have given a crap.

You don’t own a car because of Socialism. Curious have you ever taken a test on Capitalism?

She's quoting from Ferris Bueller. My point, and maybe oblique, is that our (American) education system did a poor job teaching about the big difference between socialism and capitalism. We made it boring, and irrelevant. We should have focused on teaching people, if you want to OWN the car, you better understand the difference between capitalism and socialism.

Thanks EJ! I don't watch movies and don't have facebook so one FB is the same as another! LOL! Your quote reminded me of a comment I saw about ten years ago made by a young man (probably late 20s or early 30s). He said "communism" was defeated and didn't exist anymore. 🙄

Socialism and Communism are irrelevant, because they have never actually properly existed. They were a ruse of the banking/ruling class to head off actual republican revolutions. The whole topic sticks in my craw because this oddly timed wave of "anti-socialism" is promoted by the selfsame people. It's all theoretical, because in the absence of a free market, what we currently have can't properly be described as capitalism. There's no dilemma, all current forms of government are hopelessly dysfunctional, having been corrupted by the same families. Remember how every single US president in history was shown to be related to each other? They're also all related to European royalty.

Fauci represents *those* families, nothing else.

I think she's posting a quote from someone on Facebook. 🤷‍♀️

Haha. Great movie. Don't worry. We will own nothing (including cars). And we *will* be happy. By God we are going to do what we are told and we are going to take what they tell us to take and we are going to eat the food they tell us we are allowed to eat and we damn well better be happy or else!

I will never own "nothing" because I own guns. Many guns, with much deadly ammunition.

not dumb, more like obedient. Both my very smaht kids buy all this nonsense hook, line and sinker. I tell them to not trust what they've been fed but they won't have it. I don't know where they learned it (I do, college), but there isn't an anti-establishment bone in their bodies.

I raised my kids to always question authority, even mine. Conservative friends thought I was crazy, but my kids are the ones resisting woke and vax pressure. I was right. Respect for authority has to be earned.

Nice! My Mom did the same thing with us kids, but we were raised in the early 60's to early 70's. We often hear how bad the 60s were, but in a lot of ways, there was a huge movement that said, "oh hell no" to the man. Now, Mom did teach us to respect our elders and find value in those who were older and wiser than we are (especially if they are family), but for the public, government and institutions in general (no matter what age the "official" was) we were encouraged to distrust and question. Period.

My youngest son is active-duty Marine Corps. He brought his roommate home for Thanksgiving. The roommate was trying to tell me that climate change was real and pointed to the fact that he'd researched it himself regarding the ozone layer.

He was flabbergasted when I asked him, "Why do you believe everything you found on the internet?"

His incredulous response: "You mean you don't trust Google?"

It's unreal. I have a friend who has a new grandbaby and the Daughter in Law is so terrified of this crap that she won't let the grandmother (my friend) hold the baby at all. If the grandparents come to see the grandbaby, they are not allowed to touch it but have to sit 6 feet away and just look at it. This is madness. One can only imagine what this world is going to be like in another 20 years if this continues. I don't have a death wish, but I'm actually grateful to be "old". I don't want to live in the world that so many people are accepting.

“ I've always thought we are going through a Darwinian selection event.” Food for thought, that.

But will they overrun the critical thinkers?

I'm scared sometimes.

I have to relate a story from my own (related by marriage) family and Thanksgiving 2020. One of my wife's cousins posted all over Facebook how she had setup a picnic table outside their dining room for out of town relatives (grandma, etc.) Because COVID and Birx.

Within less than a week afterward, the same Covidian relative posted a pic of her and 8 or so of her jowly besties, jammed together in a local restaurant.

No discussion whatsoever of the Thanksgiving meal in which grandma literally had to eat outside at a picnic table, less than a week before.

My ultimate personal and completely true tale of Branch Covidianists.

It would be difficult to ever have to see that relative again.

Well perhaps she still has the outdoor picnic table.

And the sad reality is, she would have no idea why you wouldn’t want to see her. They’re all hypnotized. And like the people who get hypnotized at shows, they never remember what happened when they were under.

"jowly besties" snicker.

It is self-evident that we are overdue for a Darwinian selection event. The world is so "safe" these days that nobody is culled from the herd even when they're as dumb as rocks.

Free food, free housing, free education, free medical care. Nobody is weeded out of the gene pool anymore for lack of resources. And everything is made so safe - I mean, we even put warning labels on hair dryers telling people not to use them in the bathtub. How dumb do you have to be not to have gotten that memo at some point in your life? Yeah, young children I guess but still. At this point, I'm frankly surprised more dumb people don't just wander onto the highway and get run over.

Bwahahahah! That burst a laugh out of me.

I think that of so many things like your blow dryer example. Thanks for the endorphin therapy!

I'm not at all sure its the masses or even a major portion anymore. It may depend on location. But even then, how much of our impression is formed by the media?

In my part of middle America, at least, the pandemic game is over. I really saw how much at a large Christmas event. People were totally normal. They hugged and shook hands. The few perpetually terrified stay home. I think it's unfortunate, but its up to them. The coastal self-proclaimed elites may not know it, but we're done playing. A pretty solid majority don't think other's medical decisions are their business, and I haven't heard of any twitterati style vax shaming. Once the mandates are kicked out, one way or the other, we're done with it.

Biden and Fauchi and their buddies are in a bubble of their own making.

Things are winding down where I am in west coast state far away from big city. A lot of people with no masks and fewer all the time.

It's good to hear and I think largely and increasingly the case. Maybe it will take some of the more egregious examples of hyper-safety culture with it. I can't say I don't still have concerns. We're not completely through this yet, and there are some pretty big problems we'll have to get through. But there's light, at least.

The elites don't really follow the rules the govt is mandating. Probably no jabs either

With all due respect, that's the kind of reasoning that legitimizes the genocide of Native Americans in terms of the inexorable march of evolutionary progress. You and I are skeptics in this situation mainly due to circumstance and chance, not with regard to some innate intellectual superiority.
