I'm not sure how many have seen this, but Ritrah Radagast has changed positions. Rather than sticking with the incompetence angle, he now thinks that the Covid-19 mess only makes sense as a case of conspiracy. He was one of the most articulate, thoughtful, and intelligent writers who was both a Covid-19 skeptic and a conspiracy skeptic right from the start of the madness. If Rintrah Radagast has concluded the evidence points to a conspiracy, then I have to wonder who else is now leaning that way. Further, given the popular narratives in Western culture, conspiracy will be an easy camp to land in if and when the problems with the vaccines become well known.
We all saw, starting in 2020, that public opinion could, even in complete contradiction to reality, shape our world. Everyone who suffered under a lockdown, or suffered from a refusal to vaccinate, or is now stuck wondering how bad that massive medical experiment will turn out, should be acutely aware that perceptions, if widely shared, matter a great deal. They shape policies, shape relationships, limit what is and is not acceptable in public discourse, and maintain a social order. Crucially, they don't even need to be true: the perception we were in a pandemic twisted our social order completely out of shape.
So, regardless of if it is true or not, the claim that the elite conspired to try to render us infertile and/or kill millions will dramatically increase the likelihood of major violence and people dangling from lampposts if widely believed.
Is anyone else noticing this shift towards Covid-as-Conspiracy, whether with other people online or with people they know in person? Does anyone have any ideas how to avoid major disasters if this ends up widely beleived?
