I don't know about him being in cahoots but I agree this virus is a scam. I said many months ago the virus is real but the hysteria about it is manufactured. Too many people believe the hysteria so walking it back now is, perhaps not impossible, but extremely difficult. So in that sense he has to play along. Our civilization is held hostage by a manufactured crisis, those who believe it is a bubonic plague 2.0 (it isn't) and those who know it isn't but benefit from said crisis. The Branch Covidians will keep doubling down as facts dismantle their worldview. The media yelled fire in a crowded theater and panicked a nation.
It isn't far fetched. The left has been pushing scare tactics and "the sky is falling" bullshit for decades, to seize more power. Acid rain, the ozone hole, global cooling, global warming, eggs are gonna kill us, dietary fat is gonna kill us, meat is gonna kill us, too many people was gonna kill us, peak oil was gonna kill us, etc.
It's been a never ending litany from these chicken littles for decades. Every year, there has been at least one 'crisis" that was gonna kill us all - with legislation attached that would give permanent power to Democrats and globalists.
I'm not doing well psychologically and really appreciate writing and reading the responses. If I didn't have small children I could deal with it better. Its probably temporary but I feel like I don't trust anybody at the moment who is in the public sphere.
Trust your instincts. You've been trained for your whole life to not trust your instincts, but instead trusting politicians and journalists who don't have your well being or benefit in mind.
I went politically agnostic a long time ago. I support President Trump, because he's not been one of those people his whole life. I don't believe in Democrats, or Republicans. I distrust politicians as a breed. My instincts say they're all corrupt sleazebags who would sell any of us out, on any topic, for money and power.
I've yet to find my instincts are wrong. Learn to trust yours again. Learn to read behind the lines, look at what they don't want you to look at, and don't believe any of them at face value. Your beliefs, your instincts, your core are yours, and they can't take that away from you, they can only bamboozle you to give them away. There is nothing wrong with fighting city hall - or the Congress. There is nothing wrong with never trusting anything they say. That's far more healthy than just shouting bumper sticker slogans at people on media.
And most of all, limit access to them, and spend your time on healthy, productive things, like your children. You're gonna be fine. These are tough times, but we WILL survive them.
Thank you Pede. I was black pilled from about 2010 to March 2016 when I watched a live Trump rally in Cleveland Ohio and have had a lot of hope since that day. Perhaps I'm drained. I have young children too, its been really tough.
Same with a few young kids. I'm livid that months of their young lives were robbed from them. For a "pandemic" that's killed what 15 kids age 5 to 17? I stopped giving a damn what people think or say when discussing this virus.
I don't trust public officials but as a lifelong cynic I never did. To see supposedly normal people so eagerly embrace and believe this hysteria has been alarming. However there is mounting pushback here and less adherence to our idiotic mask mandate. Folks are tiring of it. There is light at the end of this long dark tunnel. Stay strong for your family!

I've had enough.

Thanks Pede. I am honestly encouraged to hear stories of places where things are getting better.
