Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 67

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.

(Anonymous) 2022-11-22 12:22 am (UTC)(link)Yes, I think you are right about the Amish. They are a great example, and worth learning from. They are also probably not on the immediate threat list and will be mopped up later, after the primary operation has concluded. :/
Regarding the mystics and the mendicants, they are also great examples. But I worry that the Enclosure of the Humans may fundamentally alter the option of this path.
I'm feeling bleak, so pardon the bleak response. Message discipline though! I'll have the plow in hand again shortly.

Re: What might be possible - inspiration
When generosity and giving become dissident actions, then yes, Imma have to agree that that option will be altered.
[Ah, that's all the bleak I can sustain (fingers crossed I just sleep tonight so I don't have to have it settle on me again).]
Then again, we follow the path of life and life's freedom within limits and hewing to Mother Nature is the only way we're going to (someday, someone, somehow) extricate ourselves from whale-machine. Machine may come, but the heart beats on and it beats important messages to other living things. It cannot ALL be controlled though the bureaucrats will try.
