Pretty much, yes.

Collective guilt and peer pressure are among the strongest forms of coercion. I expect a lot more of it. But it’s also a sign of weakness: The authorities wouldn’t need such outrageous coercion if people weren’t resisting in significant numbers.

You’re probably right about China. A Confucian mindset is totally different from the traditional Western one. I don’t know… If they get hungry and angry enough — and if there’s interference from outside the country — some kind of revolt might be possible(?). Though I would expect even a revolution to replace the existing emperor with a…[Read more]

I’m not so sure… I’d wager Silicon Valley and environs are teeming with facemask people. Lots of educated idiots running around these days.

Sociopaths and psychopaths don’t see themselves as evil. Since they naturally rise to positions of wealth and power in societies like ours, this “demigod” phenomenon is inevitable, unless societal/cultural values and political rules change in a big way. I wouldn’t count on the top-level demonic demigods disappearing in their 70s… they tend…[Read more]

I’d guess the weaknesses will really show if/when a critical mass of the Chinese population (or any other population) starts to view their government as a paper tiger.

Because it gives them 20 more ready-made names: epsilon variant, zeta variant…?

Thanks for the tip. This is becoming a trend that is going to need some creative solutions or workarounds. Eventually, banking access will be cut off for most/all people who express the wrong opinions. Local digital (or even non-digital?) currencies with cooperative agreements among them might be nice, if it could be pulled off. Or maybe…[Read more]

I have a terrible compulsion to edit my own writing… especially if I think it might be misinterpreted, which is all too easy online. I meant my comment to be taken in fun too — I’m just not always good at getting that across.

The scamdemic was a way to acclimate the masses to the idea of lockdowns. The plan is/was to use the “climate emergency” as the new excuse for some version of perpetual lockdowns. Many who swallowed the scamdemic narrative (especially, the self-satisfied “good” people who aren’t “selfish”) will cheer for climate lockdowns. My question: If…[Read more]

I have no problem believing a government would sabotage its own country’s weather, if it served their purposes (or the purposes of whoever’s interests the government in question actually promotes and defends).

I had the same suspicion you suggest. You could add that doctor’s name to a surprisingly long list of people in and around the medical industry who coincidentally met their demise during or not long before the scamdemic.

To me, those two words = plain old “tyranny,” no nuances needed.

Accurate translation or not, I must admit I like “dictator chic”!

If you want things not to change, you might be less naturally inclined toward activism; that would make sense. I don’t get how people could be unaware of a need to do something when they see things changing in a way they don’t like, assuming they want to stop the change.

Fiat lux!

Long live popular pushback against the narrative!!

“…until winter 2021”? I’m guessing that’s what they’re thinking. But I’m finally starting to get a little more (very cautiously) optimistic about some of the masses getting roused out of their mind-controlled slumber.

Interesting elucidation of the nuances of пошлость. My best shot at a one-word translation that captures the essence of the term (as best I understand it) would be “baseness.”

To me it sounds like MIT is researching like mad to figure out how to create better propaganda.
