but without an actually 2A active citizenry doing it's 2A *duty* and *obligations* then all that is achieved is a few brave deaths. No effect.
The 2A you see being not individual 'right' but collective responsibility we fell down on to be organized into local militias. The NRA and a great many clever people distracted us into thinking the collective duty was an individual right, as if individuals are anything but meat and a mob of meat in strife. They are worse than nothing, they are an opponents supply depot.
Here's us, not the govt, not the lawyers, all able bodied men f*scking this up;
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Well regulated meaning organized, trained, disciplined.
But - In our case atomized, no organizations, no one to discipline.
We blew it, we farmed out our liberty to others and lost it all.
Thank you for continuing to cover the so-called pandemic. I've gotten to the point where my patience -- previously worn thin -- with Covidiots is non-existent. No point in arguing with religious zealots, for that's what these "believers" in the new religion are -- mindless, non-questioning zealots. Even those who haven't succumbed to the constant propaganda are still affected by being surrounded with sheep and need to be reminded there are places in the world that are back to being "open" -- ironically, the non-Western, authoritarian nations like China, Iran, and Russia. Why are the "Western democracies" -- theoretically held accountable by their citizenry, devolving deeper and deeper into a dictatorial horror show?
"Why are the "Western democracies" -- theoretically held accountable by their citizenry, devolving deeper and deeper into a dictatorial horror show?"
To answer your question: Because the dark occultists, who are trying to invert/pervert everything good and right and beautiful, know that if they can crush the freer nations, they can take the entire world.
Yeah. Masochistic morons who are tearfully grateful to the State when put under house arrest. Like they couldn't choose to stay home without a state order.
They love this nightmare. Hopeless faceless freaks.
Great article, which I agree with in full. We need to take our liberties and freedoms back by none compliance on a massive scale and by boycotting corporations who enable our corrupted elected politicians. I won't call them leaders.
Right on, Bert. I feel that I am contributing to the rebuild by not complying with unlawful "mandates," by playing/teaching music, by cooking healthy food for my family and my clients, and by questioning everything that comes from the illegal band of criminals (collectively known as "government") and their perverted lapdogs hanging onto their cushy jobs, fame, and other perks.
I used to comment and post articles on Medium.com but they started pulling my work from public view in February, stating that I was not abiding by their "Trust & Safety" rules. Last week, they removed my account from public view. Check it out: They claim that by me questioning the CV-19 narrative, I am putting "public health" at risk. Bahahahahahaha! So it's not only sick people who are dirty terrorists, it's also people who aren't sick. Oh, the illogic astounds me.
Also, since I have never worn a Satanic ritual humiliation/conversion muzzle and have been around hundreds of people in the past year—many of them in my own home and many who I have hugged—shouldn't I have gotten ill and be dead from the covAIN'T if the scripted narrative has any merit?
Taking back our freedom and sovereignty starts by questioning those who would pose as "leaders," "authorities," "experts," and their agents! Be free, Bert!
I use Word Press and Gab with no censorship at either place so far. We are of the same mind on all of these topics you elaborated on. Great to find that we are not alone in this journey thru uncertain times. Always enjoy reading your posts,
Thanks, Bert! It's SharineWonders.blog. I started it in 2016, got sidetracked, then started back up this year. I don't have a lot of posts up yet, but I plan to write a couple articles each month!
Good luck finding enough people to create a massive scale. I'm still blown away by the willingness of free people to surrender their freedoms because politicians and "experts" told them to. The only thing I've really learned during this "crisis" is that people are not only stupider than I could have imagined but also much, much more numerous.
No, the people are just cowards. Also leaderless; masses always nothing without leaders.
BTW massive scale isn't needed; just enough scale.
Scale if you mean numbers is meaningless, the actions and effects are meaningful.
Example: the Right to Life Movement had huge protests in DC annually.
The 20th anniversary of Roe vs Wade had the actual Million march, one million people.
No effect. Probably actual news to most here.
Jan 6 had 300 march into the Capitol with idiotic good intentions of being mostly law abiding and unarmed, but you can see the effects to this day. They at most broke a couple of windows...but the effects were huge- they broke the rules of 'protesting' by being actual protestors who crossed the lines. Imagine if they had actually been what the Dems fear to this very moment, what the Dems say happened [that didn't].
It's not scale, it's effects. Above all the active breaking of the rules terrified the Regime beyond rational thought - active breaking of the rules , not prayer, not crossing your fingers in your pocket while you pinky swear, not refusing vaccines, not the precious 'they don't have my soul' while complying...no. Active breaking of the rules.
Even Stalinists trembled when the Hungarians did same - but our Stalinists have no tanks or troops they can trust. They know this, and again being insane and terrified beyond rational thought 'purge' the military of 'white supremacists' despite the military and police - police they routinely lynch - being the only thing between them and the void.
Great point. The "rebel" overthrow of our founders was by just a few, a few who were willing to put death sentences on their heads to fight for freedom and against tyranny. I had never thought of it quite that way until a historian told me that once the Declaration was signed, they all went into hiding because every one of them had a bounty on his head. And the king sent the entire British fleet to quash the uprising before it got going. We know how that turned out.
Our revolutionary forefathers had to know they were signing their own death sentences and that the king would send everything he had. But as you note, they knew their "effects" would be greater because, in the end, they had a lot more to fight for. And once the effects were known, more people got on board, and it became a force. You can be damn sure the king knew it, too.
As far as the active breaking of the rules, whatever happened to civil disobedience? Did it die with Lenny Bruce? When I go out in public, I make a point of NOT wearing a mask, of letting others know they are idiots for wearing one, of waiting just a bit too long to put one on when they are required, of making all my decisions about where to go and where to spend money based on the severity and idiocy of the merchants and their customers. Perhaps all these businesses think we're "all in it together," but they are wrong. Some places will never get another dollar from me.
Some people in the CA Let Them Play group were complaining that they couldn't watch their kids play their games because they were not "allowed to." I told them to just show up. What will the idiots do if 50 or 100 parents show up? Even if it's one parent, they look stupid if they call the cops, and it points out their lunacy. But instead, they all get on the bandwagon of "We can't break the rules!" What rules? The rules you didn't make, that were not passed by the legislature that, at least at a state level, is more likely than our dictators to have your interests in mind? It's mind-boggling that people can make "rules" based on "experts" but no supported by science and that people don't all scream FU.
And okay with lives of misery and even doing otherwise unconscionable things--like forcing preschoolers to spend 2 weeks alone in the rooms. As long as the technocrats say they should. They have been testing our limits.
In midwestern America they don't go as far as Canada. Or NYC.
They don’t care if we comply or not as long as we don’t do anything.
If you do jail and ruin await you.
However the elites quite openly march under a banner of ERASE WHITENESS, so how much do you think non compliance impresses them? If not white social and economic pressure will work fine, and the nearly entirely white elites- I don’t know how to tell you diverse types this but you are always a means to the end, the end being the erasure of old enemies in the non elite whites.
As for business they get all the money they need from Finance and the Fed, they go woke and will never be broke. See Boeing, Amazon, banks.
conversely any deviation would cut off capital and results in financial deplatforming. Sorry Gandhi its not an option.
No. The same effect as a child crossing his fingers in his pocket when he lies to his mother; which you know sums up Solzhenitsyn's 'live not by lies' etc, etc.
I figure we live our lives as we always have to the best of our abilities until they unleash violence directly upon us. That is when people will have to decide, do I die on my knees or on my feet? Violence should always be the last resort. Once that bullet leaves the gun, you can't call it back.
The technocrats want a civil war. They use it to take control. The people pulling this coup are a bunch of lazy, cowardly geeks hiding behind the curtains. They hire BLM and Antifa to do all their dirty work.
They prefer to keep it "peaceful." Using passive aggressive means like biowarfare.
They might get one but it won't be what they imagined. Once that genie gets out of the bottle, there is no getting it back in. The end result will not be good for them.
It is harder and harder to believe that TPTB continue to get away with restricting our liberties to such a great extent, and that more people are not realizing what has been done to them. Sort of makes me lose faith in my fellow human beings. There were so many signs right at the beginning of this mess that pointed straight to a power grab disguised as a pandemic. And yet millions around the world fell for it, and continue to believe what they're being told, and continue to obey tyrannical governments. It's hard to find hope in this mess, and I am increasingly feeling like a man on a boat in the middle of the ocean - alone. Thanks for all you do; yours is one of the few sane voices, and we need it more than ever.
Yes, I'm commenting on my own comment. I just read a short article by Matt Taibbi. I don't align with his political views, but I like the fact that he has broken away from the MSM and now writes for subscribers, and he appears to be doing well. Sadly, while I had thought that Matt was a critical thinking person and would be able to see what was going on around him with the covid, and understand it for what it was. Today he posted a short article asking subscribers for ideas to write about. In that article, first paragraph, he wrote this: ". . . especially since I’ll soon be vaccinated and be able to get back to covering things in person."
Just take a minute and ponder all the serious and scary implications of that one sentence.
That's a heartbreaker right there. I love Matt's writing, and I had a great deal of respect for him even if we didn't always agree. Getting the jab to save his cushy job is a sign that he is aligned with the dark occultists, whether knowingly or not. This is what I meant in my earlier comment to you about letting go of people who choose the path of enslavement to the technocracy.😔
Joe, I know that pain and frustration, too. I think a lot of people realize what is happening, but they lack COURAGE to speak about it or act on it. The wanna-be controllers' agenda of manipulation has been decidedly quick-creeping for over 70 years. Many people traded in their heart intelligence and individuation for the comfort, convenience, and "security" of the modern/post-modern world. Getting them to wear face masks and stay away from others -- while also getting them to think of others as dirty and dumb -- wasn't much of a stretch under the guise of more "protection" from the "authorities." Stay strong and vigilant, and continue to find your tribe. We will prevail, but there is much hard work to do. It may come to the point of separating from loved ones who refuse to stand in their Divinity and Sovereignty, but I say, one step at a time on the Path of Freedom!
They got us to wear masks. For a while. But they failed to get us to view our neighbors as disgusting and diseased. It's not due to medical knowledge. But we love people. My neighbors say, "We all gotta die sometime. Might as well die hugging someone."
But we didn't die. So we're laughing at Doc Fauxy.
My husband and I try to maximize our skills to better our community, including playing live music during a time when California "Governor" Newssolini is telling people not to gather or sing, ffs.
Stay strong and vigilant, and keep searching for your tribe!
Hi Sharine, what part of California are y’all in? I’m in Long Beach and I’ve been dying to find people to enjoy music with, but I don’t even know where to begin so I usually just play guitar on my balcony and (some weekends) in parks & such.
Hi Matthew. We're in northern San Luis Obispo county. It's heartbreaking to hear from so many musicians like yourself who ended up "trapped" in metro areas where the Stasi are trying to enforce non-laws. I highly recommend reaching out to every person and business owner that you know is free and making connections. We have a regular weekly restaurant gig and have also shown up at local parks with our trio and played for 2+ hours with no problems. Our sheriff is not enforcing non-laws. Stay courageous, step outside your comfort zone a little bit at a time. We artists are part of the heART of humanity!
Easy to agree with you. As someone from the old school left who was forced to join in the battle - and found pretty much nobody at all from my "side" standing with me - I'd welcome any and all thoughts on how to begin to unravel at least some parts of the partisan divide. To get back onto some of the common ground. It was basic principle that brought me here. Isn't there something we can work with?
bugyefly, I feel the pain, too. My husband and I do our best to maintain civil relations with our family, friends, and work-related folks who have chosen to bury their heads in the sand and refuse to question the scripted narrative. In some cases, it means limiting the length of communication; in others, it means verbally taking the "I don't disclose personal medical information" stance. Scope of communication is important, too. For example, I don't discuss CV-19 with my in-home students and clients unless they bring it up. Out in the community, it's obvious that I don't wear a face mask but less obvious as to "why." I have been refused entry at a couple of stores for refusing to muzzle up. These places, mostly big-box stores, are following a Satanic agenda, whether or not the employees realize it. It's hard to reason with people who have no idea the damage they are doing to real people and society, but I have not become belligerent or angry. That all said, I think your genuine concern for finding common ground is a great place to start and will help you realize ways to enact that principle!
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I will keep doing what I'm doing! And I will tell the truth given the least opportunity (I admit I am starting to manufacture those opportunities where I can).
Agreed. Corporate power leapt in behind its blue puppet and will revert to the red puppet if circumstances demand it. Was obvious this was happening before the election. I don't like Trump but the idea of cheering Biden was nauseating.
The article also makes me think about why did we lose our freedoms and liberties in the first place. Of course, politicians seem to be the fall guys. But several other institutions have failed to discharge their duties effectively:
1. Medical institutions: WHO can make a mistake, but how come the apex medical bodies of several countries failed to understand Covid and to present a realistic thereat assessment and not a super exaggerated one?
2. Media: Okay the mainstream media had been losing sheen all these years, but at least some in the media could also have fought against the tyranny
3. Courts: They failed to question the rationale behind the lockdowns, the science behind the masks, the proof behind the contagion etc.
4. Freedom-loving people: What happened to them? How did they lose their senses so easily by narratives coming out of the media they always loved to hate?
The failure has been at several levels. It seems almost surreal that almost all the sections of society failed to assess the situation correctly and surrendered their freedoms at the flip of a button. Perhaps this was waiting to happen. The problem lies deeper, much deeper. We as a society have dumbed down. We are losing our senses. We are losing our ability to reason. What could have caused this? Some hypothesis:
1. With the advent of computers, we surrendered a part of our intelligence by using computers foolishly instead of using them wisely. The result was that complex computer models became more trusted than simple hand-written scientific rationale. No, this did not happen in 2020. It happened much before. Much of Climate Change alarmism dates back to climate modelling done in the 2000s. The use of RT-PCR's for clinical diagnosis also started much earlier.
2. With the advent of content on mobile, we suffered from an information overload. We saw more, forwarded more but digested less. Memes and videos became our source of knowledge, and not books, which make us think, imagine and rethink. Our knowledge became shallow as a result.
3. Excessive fiction/fantasy in our culture: GOT, Avengers etc. All detached from reality. Movies such as Resident Evil, Contagion etc were again fiction movies. Perhaps many viewers lost their inherent ability to distinguish reality from fiction.
It seems to me that abuse of technology and a comfortable life have resulted in the problem we are in today. These have dumbed us down as a society. We are detached from reality. Climate change Alarmism was a symptom of this same problem. Incessant abusing of politicians and media, instead of disagreeing with what they said was another symptom. SARS, H1N1 were perhaps the symptoms of the same problem. We failed to recognize the real problem, and today this failure to recognize the problem has resulted in a monster called Covid.
"Perhaps this was waiting to happen. The problem lies deeper, much deeper."
You hit the nail on the head, Himanshu! The problem is that people became infantilized by advertising, which is little more than shiny propaganda. They traded in their INTERNAL FREEDOM for convenience, comfort, constant entertainment, and the false "security" of the state. They stopped analyzing. They stopped looking in the mirror and fixing their flawed psychology, looking instead to "authorities" and "celebrities" to TELL THEM who they are and what they should do.
Yes, this has been happening for millennia, but the biggest push started in the "modern" world after the turn of the twentieth century.
Thank you for your assessment! Remain vigilant, strong, brave, and free, Himanshu!
Great read bro. It’s unreal how treacherous this govt overreach has been. The people that comply with it are not helping. I live in Georgia and I will not wear a mask when I go shopping and eating out. This guy is not gonna be muzzled. All these steps they are taking to mitigate isn’t helping shit. Yet, they keep on pushing on.
I don't wear the Satanic ritual humiliation/conversion face muzzle. It is freeing to be bare-faced! I do feel sadness and grief seeing that 95% of people in my little area of California are complying, because I know they have NO COURAGE. They've lost their heart-based intelligence . . . and their balls. Keep pushing back with right action, Rican x!
Although I'm super excited to know that many of us are freer now than in 1870, I'm a little more interested in what's happened over the last 20 years, which has been a systematic and deliberate destruction of personal freedom.
A lot of people love the new abnormal. They want to be enslaved. It makes them feel secure and loved on by the State. They don't miss human contact and love the feel of the mask on their face.
Remember the horrific stories of Soviet citizens frightened they would be next with the 2 am visit?
We are so close. Where Canada, New Zealand, etc. are already there. How can anyone, anywhere, not authoritarian, accept what is happening?
They will answer the door and go along meekly.
Not me.
ok, good,
but without an actually 2A active citizenry doing it's 2A *duty* and *obligations* then all that is achieved is a few brave deaths. No effect.
The 2A you see being not individual 'right' but collective responsibility we fell down on to be organized into local militias.

Here's us, not the govt, not the lawyers, all able bodied men f*scking this up;

Well regulated meaning organized, trained, disciplined.
But - In our case atomized, no organizations, no one to discipline.

"Destroyed our freedom without firing a shot....." Absolutely right you are and China is laughing at us.

Great article, which I agree with in full. We need to take our liberties and freedoms back by none compliance on a massive scale and by boycotting corporations who enable our corrupted elected politicians. I won't call them leaders.
Right on, Bert. I feel that I am contributing to the rebuild by not complying with unlawful "mandates," by playing/teaching music, by cooking healthy food for my family and my clients, and by questioning everything that comes from the illegal band of criminals (collectively known as "government") and their perverted lapdogs hanging onto their cushy jobs, fame, and other perks.

You are welcome. Gab has no censorship at all except porn. You have to do your own screening of content as it should be.

The Midwest if different in many good ways than the costal areas. A different mindset.
That is the saddest truth of all in this horrible mess.
And leave at least 40% behind who love this tyranny.
In theses times we need to lead, follow, or get out of the way. Their choice.
They don’t care if we comply or not as long as we don’t do anything.
If you do jail and ruin await you.

No. The same effect as a child crossing his fingers in his pocket when he lies to his mother; which you know sums up Solzhenitsyn's 'live not by lies' etc, etc.
It is a big first step.
I figure we live our lives as we always have to the best of our abilities until they unleash violence directly upon us. That is when people will have to decide, do I die on my knees or on my feet? Violence should always be the last resort. Once that bullet leaves the gun, you can't call it back.

It may come to the point of separating from loved ones who refuse to stand in their Divinity and Sovereignty, but I say, one step at a time on the Path of Freedom!
They got us to wear masks. For a while. But they failed to get us to view our neighbors as disgusting and diseased. It's not due to medical knowledge. But we love people. My neighbors say, "We all gotta die sometime. Might as well die hugging someone."
But we didn't die. So we're laughing at Doc Fauxy.
Thanks, Sharine. I wish the best for you and yours, too. Take care.
Even dissenters claim this is well meaning but misguided on the government's part. Nope. Too many "coincidences" happening.
Thanks for this. What do you suggest that the citizenry do to force a freedom rebuild?
Airramay, there are some cool resources available for kickstarting ideas, projects, and connections! Check out https://thegreaterreset.org, and also https://freedomcells.org.
My husband and I try to maximize our skills to better our community, including playing live music during a time when California "Governor" Newssolini is telling people not to gather or sing, ffs.
Stay strong and vigilant, and keep searching for your tribe!
Hi Sharine, what part of California are y’all in? I’m in Long Beach and I’ve been dying to find people to enjoy music with, but I don’t even know where to begin so I usually just play guitar on my balcony and (some weekends) in parks & such.
Hi Matthew. We're in northern San Luis Obispo county. It's heartbreaking to hear from so many musicians like yourself who ended up "trapped" in metro areas where the Stasi are trying to enforce non-laws. I highly recommend reaching out to every person and business owner that you know is free and making connections. We have a regular weekly restaurant gig and have also shown up at local parks with our trio and played for 2+ hours with no problems. Our sheriff is not enforcing non-laws. Stay courageous, step outside your comfort zone a little bit at a time. We artists are part of the heART of humanity!
That’s great, what you’re doing. Thanks so much for the info, I’ll keep checking around.
Easy to agree with you. As someone from the old school left who was forced to join in the battle - and found pretty much nobody at all from my "side" standing with me - I'd welcome any and all thoughts on how to begin to unravel at least some parts of the partisan divide. To get back onto some of the common ground. It was basic principle that brought me here. Isn't there something we can work with?
bugyefly, I feel the pain, too. My husband and I do our best to maintain civil relations with our family, friends, and work-related folks who have chosen to bury their heads in the sand and refuse to question the scripted narrative. In some cases, it means limiting the length of communication; in others, it means verbally taking the "I don't disclose personal medical information" stance. Scope of communication is important, too. For example, I don't discuss CV-19 with my in-home students and clients unless they bring it up. Out in the community, it's obvious that I don't wear a face mask but less obvious as to "why." I have been refused entry at a couple of stores for refusing to muzzle up. These places, mostly big-box stores, are following a Satanic agenda, whether or not the employees realize it. It's hard to reason with people who have no idea the damage they are doing to real people and society, but I have not become belligerent or angry. That all said, I think your genuine concern for finding common ground is a great place to start and will help you realize ways to enact that principle!
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I will keep doing what I'm doing! And I will tell the truth given the least opportunity (I admit I am starting to manufacture those opportunities where I can).
In terms if party there is no Divide. There is one party and its controlled opposition.
Agreed. Corporate power leapt in behind its blue puppet and will revert to the red puppet if circumstances demand it. Was obvious this was happening before the election. I don't like Trump but the idea of cheering Biden was nauseating.
The article also makes me think about why did we lose our freedoms and liberties in the first place. Of course, politicians seem to be the fall guys. But several other institutions have failed to discharge their duties effectively:
1. Medical institutions: WHO can make a mistake, but how come the apex medical bodies of several countries failed to understand Covid and to present a realistic thereat assessment and not a super exaggerated one?
2. Media: Okay the mainstream media had been losing sheen all these years, but at least some in the media could also have fought against the tyranny
3. Courts: They failed to question the rationale behind the lockdowns, the science behind the masks, the proof behind the contagion etc.
4. Freedom-loving people: What happened to them? How did they lose their senses so easily by narratives coming out of the media they always loved to hate?
The failure has been at several levels. It seems almost surreal that almost all the sections of society failed to assess the situation correctly and surrendered their freedoms at the flip of a button. Perhaps this was waiting to happen. The problem lies deeper, much deeper. We as a society have dumbed down. We are losing our senses. We are losing our ability to reason. What could have caused this? Some hypothesis:
1. With the advent of computers, we surrendered a part of our intelligence by using computers foolishly instead of using them wisely. The result was that complex computer models became more trusted than simple hand-written scientific rationale. No, this did not happen in 2020. It happened much before. Much of Climate Change alarmism dates back to climate modelling done in the 2000s. The use of RT-PCR's for clinical diagnosis also started much earlier.
2. With the advent of content on mobile, we suffered from an information overload. We saw more, forwarded more but digested less. Memes and videos became our source of knowledge, and not books, which make us think, imagine and rethink. Our knowledge became shallow as a result.
3. Excessive fiction/fantasy in our culture: GOT, Avengers etc. All detached from reality. Movies such as Resident Evil, Contagion etc were again fiction movies. Perhaps many viewers lost their inherent ability to distinguish reality from fiction.
It seems to me that abuse of technology and a comfortable life have resulted in the problem we are in today. These have dumbed us down as a society. We are detached from reality. Climate change Alarmism was a symptom of this same problem. Incessant abusing of politicians and media, instead of disagreeing with what they said was another symptom. SARS, H1N1 were perhaps the symptoms of the same problem. We failed to recognize the real problem, and today this failure to recognize the problem has resulted in a monster called Covid.
"Perhaps this was waiting to happen. The problem lies deeper, much deeper."
You hit the nail on the head, Himanshu! The problem is that people became infantilized by advertising, which is little more than shiny propaganda. They traded in their INTERNAL FREEDOM for convenience, comfort, constant entertainment, and the false "security" of the state. They stopped analyzing. They stopped looking in the mirror and fixing their flawed psychology, looking instead to "authorities" and "celebrities" to TELL THEM who they are and what they should do.
Yes, this has been happening for millennia, but the biggest push started in the "modern" world after the turn of the twentieth century.
Thank you for your assessment! Remain vigilant, strong, brave, and free, Himanshu!
Great read bro. It’s unreal how treacherous this govt overreach has been. The people that comply with it are not helping. I live in Georgia and I will not wear a mask when I go shopping and eating out. This guy is not gonna be muzzled. All these steps they are taking to mitigate isn’t helping shit. Yet, they keep on pushing on.
I don't wear the Satanic ritual humiliation/conversion face muzzle. It is freeing to be bare-faced! I do feel sadness and grief seeing that 95% of people in my little area of California are complying, because I know they have NO COURAGE. They've lost their heart-based intelligence . . . and their balls. Keep pushing back with right action, Rican x!
Know what I say to them?
I'm not anti mask. YOU are anti face.
The anti face crowd. Or FF's. Faceless Freaks.
Haha, that's great! So far, I haven't had anyone call me "anti-mask," but if I do, I'm going to use your comeback, Cat Lady!
All true Doctor.
The diagnosis is correct.
The prescription a bit vague, and voting the elites out at best homeopathic. > not that you said that - and vagueness is justified.
If it helps those reading afflicted with the delusions of voting and laws- the laws in America morally vanished with the fall of the Republic.
If one reading believes in voting that one is beyond reason, try prayer.
Amen.

Although I'm super excited to know that many of us are freer now than in 1870, I'm a little more interested in what's happened over the last 20 years, which has been a systematic and deliberate destruction of personal freedom.
A lot of people love the new abnormal. They want to be enslaved. It makes them feel secure and loved on by the State. They don't miss human contact and love the feel of the mask on their face.
and that’s what scares me the most.
I want nothing to do with the anti face crowd.
Only in a society so far gone with anti-freedom sentiment could people have given up their freedoms so readily. We must counter the fear narrative. https://jetaylorwriter.medium.com/who-will-stand-for-freedom-da28ee7d51bb
