Interesting. I tend to agree with this. Focus on the failure of the authorities/ the elites, not some competing/ alternative viewpoint. (Perhaps we are too quick to overlook that without the authorities to trust in, most people are completely lost.)
All I can say from my experience is that the few times that people asked me why I didn’t get the “Covid jab”, my response has always been, “Well, first of all, they don’t even work…”
Interestingly, I have never been able to get to a “second of all” because the reaction I got was always a sort of mumbling and changing the subject. Honestly, it was disappointing to be unable to get past my first point!
Although I never got into the epic argument I was hoping to valiantly win, perhaps the fizzling out of the conversation was for the best. I don’t know if I convinced them of my position or what. All I know is the conversation quickly fizzled out.
That’s just my experience, for what it’s worth. I have only spoken openly to a few people about this, so that reaction might not indicate anything more broadly.
