YUP, and also that an obviously large percentage of the population has no common sense about any of it either. Whether it's masks don't actually work or the election was stolen and even if you think the right guy one that's still terrible because totalitarianism never ends well (even MAGA people who accept that somehow we just lost and we have to move on)...absolutely terrifying where we are at.
Correct. It’s EXACTLY what the Russian and Chinese communists did. Got the low iq low skill people to enforce their rules, promoted them as true patriots and heroes to the republic.
Hey! That idiot kid who constantly fucks my order up at the fast food place and his friend who works at Kroger (and has no idea where anything is) are literal heroes! They are so selfless that they risk their lives daily, facing such perils as the common cold!
In the beginning though we were told a deadly virus was coming that could wipe out millions of people by last summer, but they were told they weren’t allowed to avoid it because they were “essential workers.”
I think it’s ok to make people heroes in that situation. But keeping up the charade once it’s obvious that this has been no worse than a bad flu season is where they are going wrong.
Labeling some people/jobs "essential" was all part of their propaganda campaign. Why would a Walmart worker be "essential" while someone who works at a mom and pop store lose their job. It was over the top and ridiculous. Those essential nurses and doctors making tictoc videos because they were bored and most of the hospitals were empty.
Many, many doctors treating Covid patients bravely spoke out and were censored. Those whistleblowers are the real healthcare heroes.
Last Spring I modified my running routes just so I could kick over all of the "Thank you First Line Heroes!!! Teachers! Groceries! Nurses!" signs that popped up in my area.

Wow. Great observation - so true.
