Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 56

[ecosophia]

As we move further into the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. 

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Let's do a psychological experiment - everyone please be honest!

You meet 2 people: one is a suckup, servile yesman that keeps complimenting you, offers to bring you coffee etc.
The other is proud, respectful but honest.

Who do you trust? Who would you befriend? Don't you feel sometimes like smacking the first one as he keeps agreeing with you?

So, at least in this respect, our leaders are just like me (maybe other people are nicer).

Add to that that a lot of people have slave souls (meaning they prefer others to make their decisions for them) and you have a match made in hell.

I have always considered myself safest when surrounded by contrarians and argumentative types. If someone is (say) proposing to hang me from the nearest lamppost, your go-along types might *just* go along with that proposal... Whereas your contrarians and argumentative types will not be going along, but instead will be asking awkward questions, like "why would we do that?"

Long live a loud and merry dissensus!

Aye! My neurological/social handicaps make it hard for me to figure out when people are lying, so I tend to assume anyone giving compliments and being overly-agreeable is lying (or delusional)... and as a result feel more comfortable in a group of irascible old codgers who trade amicable insults for fun. They're lying too, but there's nothing to gain by ;)
