I hear you.
I also think that operation covid damaged our mental health far more than we like to admit.
- Individually, in testing us to near breaking point, even if we avoided the jabs and saw through the propaganda, the drama still took it's toll on us and left us drained. Which means difficulty in maintaining healthy right brain big picture thinking, difficulty in stepping outside the comfort of the overton window, difficulty in taking action needed to break out of the fear paralysis... we're doing it, but it's hard.
- Collectively, in setting up a mass formation psychosis that has never really been undone, the root fears planted in the lead up to and at the start of operation covid, never really uprooted or reversed, so people still jump in large numbers in whatever direction they're nudged, yes 'the current thing' is a test whistle, but there are many micro nudges that don't make the memes. We call them out in the hope of waking people up, but I think there's a whole critical mass of people that just see them as normal, as witty ways of expressing and reinforcing what they've been given to believe. So you show them a meme of someone with multiple needles in them, to us that's like "hey you keep jabbing yourself for nothing just to obey your government, you silly sheep" and to them it's like "hey, that's me, I'm taking those jabs and doing my part, badge of honour". Same meme, completely different impact. I wonder if people see our money printer memes, and we think 'look at that worthless inflatable fiat' and they think 'well it's good they can keep printing money because we all could do with a little more'.
We know with individual trauma that it can be years before we feel confident to confront what actually happened. I was carjacked downtown in a 'global south capital city' years back, terrifying in that I thought I was going to die alone in the car, but eventually escaped by reckless driving against traffic, on pure adrenaline. I overcame the immediate trauma in seven days, going back to the same spot, the whole 'get back on your horse' thing... and it shifted the immediate fear. However, almost fifteen years later, I realised there were still residual PTSD impacts that I hadn't fully processed. It didn't take long to address that, but I was surprised by how the residiual effects stayed hidden for so long, manifesting in ADHD like behaviours - hypervigilence, distraction, forgetfulness, exhaustion and so on.
What I'm saying is, it's not enough to dismiss the majority of people as dumb, intelligence is a distribution curve but we've got a traumatized population that is now easily manipulated, and the clown show *is* the active manipulation. Getting us out of trauma is the road to greater recovery... otherwise, it will be a painful reset, and perhaps a couple of generations until this has played out. Our generation may already be lost... the next generation may contain a seed with enough resilience... and only in the third generation do they throw off the weakness of their traumatized ancestors and forcefully take hold of their destinies again.
Well, it looks like your dark mood was contagious brother.
