those stupid videos of people collapsing and dying on the spot in chinese subways that they were circulating dec 2019 - jan 2020 were something out of a low budget horror movie

A friend of mine fell for that CCP propaganda and locked himself away for about three months last year. He finally crawled meekly out of his self imposed exile and admitted that he had been duped.

Honestly if people want to be fucking stupid and quarantine themselves, fine, at least that keeps their dumbasses off the street and away from me. But I, and others here, shouldn't have to suffer because too many morons have been brainwashed into being afraid of the common cold.

At least he was aware enough to realize it! Most still hasn’t yet.

Yep. I was prepared to dish out a full ration of shit to him when he finally emerged from his seclusion, but he preempted it by fully admitting to being duped and acting irrationally.

My wife was pregnant and I had nothing to gain by being right, so I braced my life for impact. There was never an impact. 2020 is probably the best year of my life.

I was a fool duped into a similar camp. In all honesty, I think that was the globalist strategy all along. Normies would never have cared about coronamadness unless they first duped the more cautious prepper minded people like myself to batten down the hatches. Then the normies panicked when the media told them to panic AND the preppers they knew were hunkered in. Tricking us first added a level of believablilty for normies that I don't think would have worked otherwise. It was so successfull that I wager the next fear porn the media peddles will be something that scares the prepper minded people first before media spreads it to the sheep.

I don't pretend i wasn't a fool who was duped by the chinese propaganda. I was. My only solace in my idiocy is that I figured it out relatively quickly, and did an about face. and at NO point did i ever advocate for the government to lock people down. I just told people to look after themselves.

You were prepared for some circumstances, but not prepared for a propaganda assault. If you're stocked up good on salt, don't forget to take a grain of it whenever you read "the news", that helps with propaganda preparation. For example I always make sure to look out the window and look at the calendar before I check the weather news. Humanity got by for thousands of years without access to the 24 hour news cycle, so when "the news" said there was a viral epidemic, I knew what to look for cause I'd seen those chinky videos & I didn't see people keeling over & dying when I looked out the window so I knew the whole thing was fake. Same goes for global warming, the same "news" keeps on saying thats happening too, but I look out the window & the weather is the same as it was 40 years ago. After a while you begin to suspect "the news" is all fake.

That sounds about right. My friend is a big prepper as well. He also has some health conditions that warranted caution. He never advocated for lockdowns or mask mandates either, and he now refers to masks as New World Order obedience symbols.

Tim pool was regurgitating a lot of that nonsense, and turning it into fear porn for views. I still remember when he shared an article about somebody who made a gasp and then died on the spot, and he attributed that to the Corona virus even though he did not know for sure that that was the coronavirus that caused that death. So many people that I thought were smart ended up going insane for a couple months And then acted later like they were always skeptical.

It's been proven that the most common way to die from La Corona is to give one highly theatrical gasp and then fall over insta-dead. I'm sure we've all seen it thousands of times by now as we weather this storm of the century. (Or is it the summer of the shark?)

I'm glad somebody else remembers Stefan as well. I ranted about him in another post.

He was huge on the Corona Virus and would constantly have guests on from Hong Kong who would talk about it.

I remember watching his show and thinking, "Oh shit, this thing must be serious."

But it was all fear-porn. I wonder if he realized it already, or just drifted off into obscurity. Either way, I havent watched his show in over a year. Not because it was removed from YouTube, there are other sources I could find, but because I really dont want to hear anymore fear-mongering.

At least with Tim, he was sort of skeptical from the beginning.

I'll admit, a lot of people were scared because of the crap propaganda China was pushing back in December of 2019. But as more data came out, it proved this virus was just another excuse for a power grab.

I even remember that Mister Metokur guy who is extremely based talking about how the Chinese were downplaying the severity in January. It was an incredibly successful psy-op.
