Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 74

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.

It's still not too late for a new year's resolution....

Date: 2023-01-07 02:51 am (UTC)Like you, I've explored it more since the takeover, and it's become much more engaging... and I think now is a good time to delete my account and block it on my browser. Because it's still rigged to be psychologically addictive, and turn living thinking breathing people into sphincters.

Date: 2023-01-07 04:16 am (UTC)I might do something like what you allude to, even if accidentally: as a secondary cause by being my outraged, intolerant, and impulsive self thinking I am both in the Ramones AND Che Guevara at the same time. Although I'm pretty good at diffusing things. I looked at three teenagers (girls) the other day on the subway playing a boom box and then looked away. Suddenly they put on a song and spit out the words just spit them out at Dionysian ripped flesh levels of death-hysteria singing in unison and I thought wtf is this rage aimed at me? So I took a paper out of my pocket I'd been sketching some designs on and held it at arms length staring at it. Their voices lowered and lowered.

The Ontario College of Psychos seems to be the poster-boy of the senile elite and how they sow the seeds of their own destruction. Just like as a kid on Victoria Day watching the "burning schoolhouse" firework, I chant "burn, baby, burn!"
