In a cult, everybody does exactly as they are told.
As the indispensable Tom Woods states: “The leaders are never wrong. Evidence is ignored. People outside the cult are subhuman and selfish and are to be shamed and ridiculed.”
“Extended closures, masking mandates, and virtual learning, as well as conflicts over curricula, have crystallized a new willingness to resist the elites who claim total authority over what and how children are taught.”
The accelerating exodus from government schools is one good result of covid insanity.
If you think the Australian government is inhumane in its response to covid, have a look at what the government of Lithuania is doing.
This comes from the venerable Tom Woods who writes:
I want you to see what has happened in Lithuania.
Now you may say, “Woods, I don’t live in Lithuania.”
Maybe so. But other countries can be indicators of where a particular policy tends to lead.
Also significant: not a single word of rebuke toward Lithuania or Australia from the U.S. regime, which means they have no fundamental objection to it and would emulate these systems if they thought they could get away with it.
This thread comes from a citizen of Lithuania. This is where these Covid passes lead.
And why can’t the American regime get away with what the Australian and Lithuanian regimes have done? Could it perhaps have something to do with there being 400 million firearms in private hands in America?
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” – Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
On September 10, WXYZ-TV, Channel 7 in Detroit, asked the following question on Facebook:
“After the vaccines were available to everyone, did you lose an unvaccinated loved one to COVID-19? If you’re willing to share your family’s story, please DM us your contact information. We may reach out for a story we’re working on.“
You’ve been drafted by the Spirit of the Age to fight Covid. Like draft resisters in other wars in other ages, you will face “consequences”, if you don’t report when ordered to your local induction center … or something.
Regarding Monica Gandhi’s Sept. 26 Outlook essay, “We’ll have to live with covid forever. But the pandemic will end.”:
The public health, medical and political communities are failing us. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is waging a savage war against mankind. The number of deaths in the United States now amount to 700,000, which is more than the military lost in both world wars, Korea and Vietnam combined. This does not include the casualties of those who will suffer the long-term effects of the disease.
Like it or not, we have all been drafted into this war. The only weapons we have are social distancing, masking and, thankfully, the vaccines. We have a duty to take up those arms to defend ourselves and each other. Those of us who choose not to fight are guilty of desertion. Those who are not true to this cause, who deny their duty to fight and encourage others to do the same are giving aid and comfort to our enemy — which is an act of treason. This war cannot be won by allowing so many of us to commit these transgressions without consequence.
