It's hard to imagine that we are in the year 2022, with a virus from 2019.
To say that this virus has outstayed its welcome would be an understatement.
One question or problem that has been intrigued and thinking a lot recently is the common denominator.
To be clearer, what is the common denominator between people who were gung-ho Covid groupies from the start of 2020, and those who were eskimo-like frozen about the whole saga?
Why have some people been so affirming of the beast, while others critical and suspicious?
It is pretty obvious that I fall into the later camp.
From the get-go it seemed like a political stunt, an unlikely coordination between Anglo governments to do a wrap up. For what reason, I do not know, however when people act in unison it always makes me suspicious. Maybe that's why I dislike synchronised swimming so much - it's unnatural to swing your legs upside down in time. So what is that unites all those different people, a group of people across the world, to say 'no'. I have a few theories.
My favourite one is that they tend to seek out their own information to make decisions. Rather than rely on authority to make decisions, they will read 'the evidence' in journals, books, educated commentary and the like. They will listen to the dissenting voice for 'truth'.
Maybe they are just contrarian, non-conformists.
Maybe they are intelligent, critical consumers of information
Maybe they are suspicious of the government. There does seem to be some ideological bent to the positions of people towards the pandemic. But then again, you have people who are both 'left-wing' and 'right-wing' (if such categories exist) against the lockdowns, vaccinations, and compliance tests, as much as you have people for.
Can we generalise? Is there a common denominator?
I guess Monday mornings are the worst times for many people, and sorry if I've added to confusion and lack of motivation.
Would love to hear your thoughts. Is there any common denominator between people who are 'pro' or 'anti' covid measures?
In Peace and Parallel, DB
The ’anti’ group also includes people who have endured narcissistic abuse in personal relationships and recognise the same tactics, just on a different scale. Isolate, confuse, gaslight, control.
Interesting that so many of these covid measures are also incredibly similar to techniques used in satanic abuse rituals. Masks signify the wearer taking on a new chosen identity apparently. Ah, the things we learn in this crazy place!
I’m so glad I came across you on the Discernable program, you’re an absolute gem and a true delight! Thank you for the amazing work you are doing and for inspiring us with your cool insights.
Hello DB
What a question!!!
I am only going to give my opinion on what I think put us now on the anti COVID measures.
I think we can be divided in 3 groups.
One, people who have been long marginalized and resent society and governments, and are looking to vent their frustration and extreme views, believing in unreasonable conspiracies. Not all of them!!!(governments are to blame, if they don't invest in their society what do they expect? Or maybe it is also part of the plan? )
Two, this I think is the most diverse. People who are well informed because they are interested in society or understand that survival depends on that. People who have experience political unrest. People who have lost a lot because of the bad measures. People who have been before or after COVID burnt by the medical system. People who understood that the current system was not working. People who have been listening to the experts on both sides because things don't make sense, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Three, academics who understand the magnitude of the situation, because they know history, and they are not welling to sell their souls to the devil. People who know how far things can go.
I don't know, this is my view, I am also trying to make sense of it all.
