Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 66

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. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

The election was carried for the Democrats by single women: they voted Dem with a whopping 37% difference. Married man, married women and single men all voted Rep. I think the Republicans shot themselves in the foot with overturning Roe vs Wade. This article about it is excellent and makes much sense to me: https://unherd.com/2022/11/a-sex-war-is-coming/

People playing for 'all the marbles' (who don't see the giant marbles all around) will

Also, if you care about bodily autonomy, the blue side does not look like a reliable champion.
As has been said elsewhere in this thread... there are no reliable champions, which means, basically, that *we* are up!

(Anonymous) 2022-11-11 02:37 am (UTC)(link)My sense is that covid (and Ukraine) are a one two combo. Ukraine let’s people all over the world FEEL like a Great War is happening, and it sort of ticks all the boxes power gets by having a war. But it’s (so far), nice and contained. For everyone outside of Ukraine, it’s like a roller coaster ride. All the thrills and chills, none of the actual danger.
Covid is where the actual dying happens. Whatever the cause, if you buy the covid narrative or if you think it’s all lizard people killing everyone, it’s hard to deny lots of people are dying, or have died. It’s on the scale of a decent sized global war. People might just be psychologically wiped out, aware that danger is about, death is stalking the hospital halls. 3 years of semi-regular adrenaline dumps can take a toll. Add to that the likely reality that many people ARE injured, and what I think we are seeing all around, in those blank stares, is a sea of walking wounded, subconsciously pondering what battle weary soldiers ponder.
Plus there is probably some woo layered onto that as well ;)
Murmuration.

I wonder too why we haven't seen choreographed dance numbers from Ukrainian politicians or maybe even the 'Azov Brigade' in the halls of their parliament or the Azovstal steel plant basement where they were holed up.

(Anonymous) 2022-11-12 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)My vague sense, for what it's worth, is that what happened is a lot of people got caught up in the covid hysteria. They lived in fear, got mad at people who didn't live in fear, practiced bizarre irrational cootie rituals, didn't see friends and family, let their kids be cheated out of normal youth, wore damp disgusting rags on their faces for hours at a time, believed the people in charge, did as they were told, and...got covid anyway. And survived. As did all the crazy unjabbed people who also got covid and didn't die either. And now, lots of people are dying of unexplained causes.
It's almost like they were all lied to....
I think CJ Hopkins analogy of a hung-over morning-after applies. People are a kind of shell shocked. And may also realize on some level that they got tricked. And were complicit in the insanity. And that our institutions aren't as trustworthy as they would like to believe. And that their whole world view might be inaccurate.
But who wants to think about that??
I think a lot of people are shoving realizations down, to avoid having to think about what happened, what they believed, what they might have said or done, how the world doesn't work quite the way they thought it did, and - no. Never mind. Don't want to think about it.
Let's all act normal. Everything is fine. Let's call for amnesty, forgive all that was said and done, go back to normal, and forget all about this. Everything is FINE.
To me the weird affect is related to denial. People went through a bizarre and emotionally harrowing couple of years, and have had world views shaken, and now, a lot of them just don't want to think about it. It's too hard to face. This is simultaneously the affect of the abused spouse insisting that her black eye is the result of a fall, and the abuser insisting that he never hit nobody, and let's all just forget about this.
That's not everyone's reaction, of course, but I see a lot of people like that. That's where that 1,000 yard "it never happened let's not talk about it nice weather we're having" stare comes from.
