In the hindsight yes .. but when the sensational media was throwing stories after story , everyone was scared .. I certainly dint think that somehow govs were coordinating to spread fear .. it happened ..and it was sure a shitshow .. things to learn

If they weren't sure what was going on they shouldn't have acted like they did and been coercing people. They get zero sympathy from me.
They should all step down and be ostracized from society for the rest of their lives at the very least. Imagine making mistakes of that magnitude at your job? Immediately fired
Is it a mistake to follow a agreed upon protocol. I don't think so.
They can roam freely because the 80% are fighting the 20% that tell them to be vigilant.
You are absolutely free to have your opinions .. that is what nostr is for .. but fortunately, there is a legal recourse to settle such cases .. it may take time but justice has a way to find itself !
No. In hindsight for you. That's a big difference.
Because you put trust and faith in the church/state. Trust in centralised entities gets exploited every single time. There is no way around it.
I really applaud your foresight , I just can't believe the conspiracy theories ..
As for your point on state and church I don't seem to understand what is the grand plan here ? Are you saying you can live without state (or faith for that matter?) .. You may be a monk , I am not ! And fortunately , I dont have any such personal experiences that make me turn faithless - God has been kind and state has been good so far .. minor issues are always there in any system and we are supposed to improve the system ..
Btw - if we dont trust the collective than we can't even trust our own mind - a collective of 100 trillion cells .. so
Being permissionless is a welcome improvement on centralized systems , read META or Google .. but it is NOT a proxy for law, governance and collective wisdom ..
Either the law can stop it or it can't. If it can stop it, it is centralized and is not permissionless.
If the law can't stop it, then it is decentralized and permissionless.
Can't be both.
Though you should be able to choose if you want to heed collective wisdom, or not...not forced. All break-through revelations for humankind happened first by questioning "collective wisdom"
The word conspiracy theory has a different meaning for you and for me. That's all. Get rid of the world and become an observer of the things going on around you. Sometimes labels create order other times they create confusion. You want your observations to be above those labels.
Collective and individuals are an illusion. It's a powerful dance swinging from one to the other and back. Yin-Yang.
Has nothing to do with individual VS collective
Everything to do with voluntary VS coercive
You can voluntarily be part of a collective, or coerced by force to be alone in a cage
The state is by definition a monopoly on violence (even the right to defend yourself from aggressors is always under increasing attack). They can produce nothing without first taking it from others.
there you go again...
"everyone was scared"
No. I was enjoying bicycle rides to empty beaches in Vietnam as one of about 5 tourists in the nation. Then had eastern Europe circuit to myself for the next years lol because all the "scared" "everyone" went home to mommy, collective, and then ate shit for three years while I had entire castles to myself...
idolatry is a bitch.
YOU got scared. you dont know history. you are aping communist tropes like a good little uni boy...
its disgusting. cut it out and go read your smarter adversaries.
I was in India and attending to my mother in a hospital .. I saw people getting admitted and leaving for cremation ..
It dont think entire world conspired to panic each other .. And I sure don't know what evil history you are talking about ..
As I said , in hindsight we NOW know it was an overreaction .. but hindsight is the keyword here ..
I went to Brazil when the "Brazilian variant" made it cheap. Spoiler alert they were doing just fine. Once you saw the baseless fear mongering it started to become pretty comical.
But not everyone went to Brazil .. your were luckey ..
hey got one for you...
shut. the. fuck. up.
.. did I make you so angry .. my apologies ! No seriously 😒 ..
angry? nah...
you are just a loser and should shut the fuck up as you are part of the problem... thats all.
now fuck off.
okay .. losers too are humans .. you be the winner .. I am happy losing to you .. but fuck off ..nah
humans, we, democracy, fear, safety, trusting experts...
dude you suck.
then why are you responding ? don't you have anything better ? o sorry ..that might hurt your fragile feelings !
its not for you you dumb cunt... its so that everyone watching is boldly encouraged to stand up to the sufferers of rectal-cranial inversion 👍❤️...
the only solution left for you is ruthless and very public shaming...
now go suck some expert cock.
btw ..no one is watching you .. if at all anyone ..they now know your variant of freedom and privacy gets down to hurling insults right after four - ish cross questions .. so much so for advocacy..
I consider myself to be pretty fortunate in a lot of ways. But I went to Brazil because people who I knew to be liars told me I shouldn't. And I had an awesome time.
Never trust the news or the government. The purpose of the media is to lie to you. That's their function within the system of control. It's not to inform you about anything. They will tell you anything that gets a desired behavior from you.
absolutely .. it was a social media generated pandemic .. but fear was real .. I have no problems accepting what I felt ..
I called bullshit after about 1 week of being highly skeptic of the first news about the plandemic. The people that were insulted as NO VAXERS and CONSPIRACY THEORISTS were not scared. Some of them at most might have been very pissed off that some zombies were bothering them so much.
"We might have turned into petty tyrants and forced people to do things against their will, ruined anyone with a different opinion, and killed or injured them in the process, but we were just scared! Oopsie 🤭"
