Part of me is skeptical that the Covid propaganda can gain traction ever again. Enough people have seen through the smoke and mirrors, and mask usage is slowly and steadily disappearing.
As a matter of fact here in Europe I was staunchly suprised when the restrictions were pulled away suddenly. We had talk about ''2G'' aka only as vaxxed or recovered you could attend any public space including working space, which meant that effectively you'd be banned from the working place. Then out of nowhere in february 2022 they pulled the rug.
With regard to how many people have seen through it, according to the official numbers at least about 90% took the vaccine here. Even if that's a bit inflated, I think it's a fair percentage of people who just went along with it. Moreover, there were some big demonstrations, but I didn't had the impression at all that there was so much resistance that the system was about to break at all, hence my surprise at the measures ending. The fact that allegedly people (in the US I assume) still wear masks even though we're 1.5 years post-measures is a telltale sign in itself.
The truth may be the very opposite. The deluded will fall even harder because they are heavily invested in the narrative. They are the true believers on the train to the GULAG for a 10 year term of hard labor but think communism is not at fault. The elites have to only push the fear button again and they will put on their masks immediately and line up for a new, deadlier vax.
I'm around a lot of normies, and I often casually bring up Covid, and let me tell you...I marvel that they are still fully on board, believing in lies that were debunked in the first half of 2020. All the elites really have to do is package vaccine side effects as the new variant (blot clots, myocarditis) and they are set. People will get vaxed, suffer, and yell at you for gently suggesting it's the vax. There has been no noteworthy repentance in America; only very small pockets have turned to the truth and Orthodoxy (thank God for even one soul that has been put on the right path). RVF/Gab and some Twitter spheres are relatively tiny; don't let them confuse you that the truth is winning.
If we face another round of tribulation, God gave His nod, because our repentance is so meager, and we are still attached to the things of this world. Sadly, many of us, me included, may need another trial to sever us from our addiction to comfort and pain-free living.
This is such an interesting psychological point. I know you once in Roosh hour said that communism well might have been a stretch test to see how far to insanity people could be pushed. If one reads the Gulag archipelago it's really unreal what has gone down in the Soviet Union and by extension all communist states. Eventually it carries all the characteristics of an abusive relationship: the abuser abuses the abused, who then in turn believes its his/her own fault and adores the abuser. It all then comes down to power at the end of the day: in our chaotic world we all need something to latch onto, and that will be the most dominant, strong, seemingly confident and competent thing or person that's available. With regards to communism, it was all of these factors: big flags, army, portraits everywhere. If it's so all encompassing and dominant, why wouldn't it know what is best? And if that's to put me away for a quarter, why would it be wrong? I probably deserve it, or it's in the good of the whole.
Marked point 2 aligns with that: they rather die by staying in their comfortable ''Matrix'' then live through taking the ''red pill'' aka the uncomfortable reality. Isn't that a phenomenal bombshell insight in human psychology? That people literally will rather die then acknowledging that their world view is off. It all comes down to insecurity then: if their world view falls, who are they then? What is their identity? If all has been a lie? It's a tough process to go through and most people know unconsciously that you may be right and that there may be something off, they just see the process as too all encompassing and difficult to sojourn on. It's like telling a fat person of 400 lbs who is 75 that they need to lose weight. They're so deep into their lifestyle, know so intrinsically that what they've been doing for decades was wrong, have so little confidence and such a lack of trust in themselves and their capacity to change that they rather continue eating themselves to death then to make the effort and turn their lives around to live longer and in a better state. All of this then also underlines the overall difficulty of trying to persuade people of anything, which brings us to a difficult dilemma: to what extent does one effectively spend their energy on causes that are tremendously ineffective, aka telling people who don't want to see the truth and will attack you for it exactly that, the truth.
And on the other side, if we don't say anything, then the narrative goes completely unchallenged and 2+2=5 out of 1984 becomes the norm as we are witnessing in real time. Because if every institution and person says so and doesn't challenge it, then it should be true. The same goes with all the gender stuff, trannies, there's no masculinity/femininity, even pedophelia: at least in Europe this goes 100% unchecked and is the truth now as a matter of fact, I know there's some movement against it in the US but the overall societal educational socio-cultural trend isn't affected by that at all either. It's a super difficult dilemma that I don't necessarily have the answer for. I think people have to be at a very low point in their life, rock bottom, to even have an opening of offering them the ''red pill''.
