For me the main "thinkers who would help me feel I was not alone and enabled me to solidify my own suspicions that something was far from right with the whole covid business" were John Michael Greer (our esteemed host) and James Howard Kunstler. I'd been reading them both regularly for some years already when 2020 struck, and thank goodness. They became my life rafts in this sea of covidian chaos and lunacy. So many other writers, they fell away, one after the other after the other (along with my friends and colleagues). I remember in 2021-2021 especially, it seemed that every week there was some writer / blog / podcast / magazine I'd been attending to for years that would emit some fascist kray-kray and, albeit startled, I would just sadly shrug, and say to myself, "Well, huh, another one gone." There were several bloggers and other writers whom I started reading ex-post (Coffee and Covid, A Midwestern Doctor, and others). But for me, JMG and Kunstler, they were and remain the main ones I read regularly.
