FEAR PORN
Things that I have learned since March of last year.
Fear sells, and I do not trust anyone who tries to sell me information based on fear, if you are trying to make me scared, I immediately start thinking about what it is you are not telling me. We have seen this play out repeatedly in the media, and with these politicians whose unwillingness to be fully transparent, sends my curiosity on a quest for information, not to mention and unwillingness to try something when clearly what they are doing is not working. Take the States with the strictest lockdowns and ever-increasing cases for example. We have seen that rather than trying something new, they double down, while other States who eased up on restrictions saw a significant drop in cases.
It seems to me that some of these politicians lack the very essential quality of humility, they are prideful and arrogant, and unwilling to admit they may have been wrong. If your inability to do this is apparent you have no place in leading people. I know I am not the only one who sees this, which is why I am so confused as to why so many are still taking these people seriously, but then we go back to my initial thesis Fear. It cripples rational thought, it creates a high stress response, and when you are constantly bombarded with Fear based propaganda, it keeps you in a highly stressed state, which in turn suppresses the immune system.
The other thing Fear is capable of doing, is turning otherwise normal ever day citizens into scared sometimes even violent antagonists. There are no shortage of videos showing this regarding people not wearing masks. Regarding the police, not just here but all over the world as you can see in the video above. Fear can create monsters out of men, if you need a reminder of how bad this can get you need only revisit the history of WW2.
You may say to yourself it is not that bad if so, I encourage you to watch the video above again. It is getting really bad. If you are willing to allow the government to make you make fearful of your neighbor because unlike you, they are not afraid. Maybe they chose not to wear a mask, maybe they do not want the vaccine, and you think there being selfish, or they do not care. I would ask you this, how is what other people do any of your fucking business?
And before you come at me with all your excuses, we the people have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, these are endowed to us by our creator not the government. It is not the governments job to keep us safe, it is up to individuals to assess their own risk, and it will be different for each one.
To many men fought and died for the freedoms that most in this country are so willing to give up for the illusion of safety, and I will take my chances with Covid at the risk of losing my humanity. I am more afraid of people that are afraid because I have read the horrors of history. I am aware of what fear does to otherwise well-meaning people all in the name of self-preservation.
I have watched this government ruin peoples lives and livelihoods. I have watched in horror as people mock others for protests regarding lockdowns that are killing their ability to provide for their families. I have watched the CDC change its policies to fit the narrative or how they instruct doctors to list covid deaths on death certificates. New York can now detain you for an indeterminate amount of time thanks to legislation 416, if you test Covid positive.
The amount of people that I see calling for more totalitarian measures in comment threads I read truly terrifies me. I am deeply concerned about the world my child will grow up in. The amount of censorship going on if you even dare question the narrative, is silencing people for fear of losing everything. This is America and yet Americans are afraid, since when did we become a nation of cowards afraid of our own shadow’s. I am not going to lie I am not proud of what I see. We have an awful lot of people with minds so open that their brains are falling out. Useful idiots some may say pushing this propaganda because they think their being helpful.
I say you do you but allow others to do as well. We as a nation need only be concerned with what we as individuals feel is best for us. Want to get the vaccine great, do it. Don’t want to get the vaccine that is fine as well, but keep in mind it is not approved by the FDA, only emergency use authorization only. Be informed, seek out information if you have questions, stop listening to the fear porn propaganda machine. With that being said I leave with this comment…
