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.

I forget where I read it..maybe Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning? A bunch of women prisoners, Jews in Germany, sent to move rocks, bare-handed for a man in the town, a merchant or builder. This man was consistently sharp-tongued and emotionally abusive towards his ‘workforce’, which was detailed to his oversight by the military. The women were not being fed at the prison camp and the merchant did not feed them either. It was cheaper for the camp but they did not bother to mention the fact that the women were starving. The women got weaker and weaker trying to move heavy stones all day. Finally one of them snapped and said “We’re STUDENTS! If you want us to work like this you have to FEED us!”

The merchant demanded her name and she gave it. He stood stock still and then turned and went into his office. All the women trembled in fear expecting her to be taken away and shot or beaten to death.

Nothing happened right away. Later, it transpired that he had made some inquiries on the Q.T. and confirmed the student’s outburst. He began to feed the women surreptitiously and to treat them more humanely.

He had been told that the women were all hardened criminals, lazy gits who needed to be driven to get any work out of them. He had been lied to, and acted in accordance with what he thought to be the truth.

How then are we to hold in our minds our friends and relatives?
People we know to be terrified of getting a deadly disease. Who have been grossly lied to.

So, what, after all is a good German?
Is it someone who is petrified by fear?
Who is exalted by hope of victory?
Is a good German someone who trusts authority figures?
Someone who has been lied to and grossly deceived?
Then is that not the same as a child mistreated by an abusive parent?
Do we blame the child for being kept ignorant?
Do we attack the child for the crime of being betrayed by its parents?
Do we give children more abuse for failure to defy their parents in a world full of dangers?
Come now, tell me: is this how you would have us to behave?
Do you suppose that people whose minds are twisted by fear are no longer people?
Do you wish for us to treat them like a dog infected with rabies?
If so, I decline to follow your advice – or to accept your notions of vice.
I choose to behave according to my own principles and obey my own conscience.
You are free to follow yours. Whatever, and if, they may be.
People who are terrified are not ‘nice.’
People who are manipulated by lies are not open to reason.
What is it that you fear?
What reasonable arguments are you unwilling to hear?
What defense of your attitude do you make?
I am listening for your answer.

(Not the OP here) I want to thank you for the reminder, challenging my default response, which is to cut people off as bad people, and stew.

Last year, I think, I wrote here about being in a minority of one or two unfoxxed in a local religious community. Almost a year later, masks are still required everywhere inside, with a separate space for the unjabbed to worship. This persistent "separate but equal" routine has become a deal-breaker. I have finally realized that there is no real chance of a reversal anytime soon. Even though quite a few people are uneasy around it, the true believers have the advantage of inertia.

Hence, the unwelcome realization that I need to start looking for a new spiritual home. Quite a surprise, after 30+ years.

But this week, quite unexpectedly, I heard from someone from that same community asking for my help on an electronic project for which I'm quite well qualified-- it involves something I resigned from doing earlier in the summer, as part of easing away from the place. I didn't waffle, I stated quite firmly that no, I was now done with those responsibilities, and quite probably with the entire place. "I will continue to maintain individual connections with people I love and respect, but I can no longer support the institution because of the separate but equal BS." And for me, this seems like the best I can do. Without some sort of apology, I do think I am done with the institution. In a way, it only caps a gradual process of growing apart from the Church Of Woke (COW) and my own unwillingness to bow down to that sacred COW.

In a similar way, I just got a voicemail from the widow of an old friend who died the year before the pandemic hit-- last year she had mentioned casually that she couldn't have me over for dinner inside because of the fox. Now, though, a court date is coming up soon for the man responsible for the death of her husband, and she wanted to know if I could show up in court to support her. I am speechless, and don't know what I will do-- I want to honor the memory of my dear friend and see justice done for his death. But this is the woman who considered me ritually unclean enough not to have me over for a meal months ago. I won't wear a mask because it's ludicrous and not required. But neither do I want a big discussion with her over this just as she needs some stability and support.

I have learned a lot about other people over the past 30 months, and about myself, too. I'm good at setting my own hard limits and going to the wall when I need to. I'm not so good at moving on. I am really trying to figure out how to do that without pretending nothing wrong happened, either.

I wish I could tell you there is an easy path to forgiveness and a royal road to geometry. I would go for either one myself if they existed. You have done the best you can by telling the truth about your rejection of Jab Crowism in a supposedly spiritual house of worship. That needed to be said, in my opinion.

The other case is much trickier. The widow has reached out to you as a friend, and seems not to realize how unfriendly she has been towards you. The best solution I can imagine off the cuff is to make sure there is a third party to act as a kind of buffer state between you and the principal mourner. Two at least, and more if you can can secure their company. Six good men can carry the burden of the grief just as they might have carried the coffin. Shared effort can take the heat out of the pain you still feel for being treated as a pariah. Prayer for increasing your own spiritual strength to help you set aside your hurt feelings for a day or two might be worth considering. Other than that, I can recommend writing a long letter detailing just exactly how you feel about the situation and NOT SENDING IT. This can help relieve inner pressures.
