Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 90

[ecosophia]

As we proceed through 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 uselessness 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. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Re: Religious affiliation since the coof?

Yeah, preventing vandalism makes sense, but it does seem like a bit of shame to lock it all up. As for other options, the city I live in is relatively new, so I don't think there's a touristy kind of historic church to visit, but I haven't tried that angle, so maybe I'll check it out. I drove through a country town in the middle of nowhere recently and it looked like it had abandoned religious buildings of some sort, so there's another option I guess, or maybe I'll look around for some other kind of sacred place. Maybe ring a doorbell on the local church and see what happens, if I can bring myself to do that.

Anyway, the inclination to go see churches, and maybe join one, is a recent post-covidworld thing for me.

I thought it might help me:

- deal with isolation and estrangement. I'm middle-aged and prefer personal contact to electronic 'contact'. I don't do social media, or mobile phones (except for work), so I was already basically a hermit before covid came along, but afterwards, well. . .

- get some support/strategies for dealing with difficult personal/emotional stuff I was going through

- prepare to die on that hill I can sense coming up ahead

- get opportunities to help others, a pat on the head, and maybe some kindness

- experience something mystical/mysterious/spiritual and try to fill in some gaps that I can feel, like missing teeth, if I probe for them

That's about it.

Thanks! More datapoints!

One of the things I've been pondering is the isolation that comes with electronic communication-- I feel like that is playing into things. Even for a generation raised on social media, suddenly being *forced* to socialize only by screen probably pushed a lot of people over some invisible line. It was fine when it was voluntary. Force-fed, though? Gorged to the point of nausea. This may have pushed a lot of people to go out and find some way to interact regularly with other people IRL.

On not being a hermit: church is definitely one way to do that. I tend that way too, and it is very helpful to me to have some kind of mandatory social interaction with other human beings scheduled into my week for me ;) Otherwise I'd just put it off indefinitely.
