So, where r we heading. Here in one of the epicenters of fear and compliance I do not think a lockdown would work again. But, people have no idea how they r got played.

it will not be the same gag. it will be the next gag.

it's the same surrender of rights and agency and submission to mass, gamified goals and enforced social compliance and signaling but ties to new grifts like climate and social justice.

the health/climate/justice overlap basically touched everything. it's the basis for the totalitarian WEF vision to stratify an aristocracy through values imperialism and cancel culture.

the imminent fear is vaccine passports. they will try to make variants sound scary, claim they evade vaccine, and push mandatory boosters.

this means you need to get one (great grift) and prove it (also great grift for software cos) every yeah. this is the end of the authoritarian wedge. it's a need for renewed affirmative governmental permission to live your life. they'll use it as the platform to build full blown social credit systems.

if that genie gets out of the bottle, there's gonna be no putting it back short of outright war.

that's the inch we cannot yield. they'll tie it to social justice, social media, credit scores, mobility, peer affiliation, and green cred so fast it will make heads spin. and then they own us. post wrongthink on twitter and lose your buspass and ability to get a loan. attend a protest and find yourself unbanked and barred from the internet.

sure, it sounds implausible, but so did "a year of lockdowns" and "taking kids from parents because the parents would not make them wear masks. a society that can do that can do pretty much anything.

Yup. Look up bill c36 in Canada. This will give the government carte blanche to take down anything they dream to be hate speech if it get by the progressive censors. Nary a word or pushback from the stenographers.

I believe it will be much more subtle and effective than a simple тАШpassportтАЩ and that its implementation is inevitable in many places. You wonтАЩt in fact need to show your papers - you are your papers. The technology exists today for every business, government building, all public transportation, etc. to be fitted with simple facial recognition systems which will grant or deny access to services based on your social credit score. Those who are not vaccinated and boosted (anti-science, covid-deniers), those who have been found guilty of тАШhate speechтАЩ (youтАЩd better get your pronouns right), those who are aligned with insurrectionists (Trump supporters), etc. will become a new subclass of deplorables and will be righteously shunned from proper society.

It will start in the liberal, urban centers (NYC, San Francisco, etc) and be adopted by the more тАШwokeтАЩ businesses (Amazon, Apple,тАж) and most of the residents and patrons of those locales and entities will humbly and even joyfully submit.

I see no means by which this does not occur in the most-blue cities and states. It is merely a matter of time. A few more variants, a couple of mass shootings, a natural disaster or two and the trifecta of health/equity/climate will align to save us from ourselves.

We need to stop deluding ourselves. Places like the UK, Canada, Australian, California, Washington, and New York are utterly lost. They are never coming back from this. Their march toward totalitarianism is advanced and its completion inevitable. The only path forward for those of us who would follow a different path is Balkanization. Get out of the blue hell-holes. You*cannot* save them. They are gone and gone for good.

Like-minded individuals must align. Red states must become more red and begin weaning themselves from the tit of the federal government. Only then might we have a chance of salvaging some vestiges of liberty in those parts of the country where they are still held dear.

The Republic is fracturing.

Look at what "they" have done to Andrew Torba for having the wrong opinions and saying the wrong things.
