I've had some occasion to spend time with multiple groups of normies in the past few days. Overall, the sample covers an age range from the late 20's to the mid 70's, ranging from people with college degrees to more advanced degrees including MD's and PhD's in biology. Some of these people are dyed in the wool hard-core media consuming normies while others are unconventional people who nonetheless are too occupied with other concerns to seek out any information about the world they occupy beyond what's presented as part of the mainstream narrative.
Despite the wide range of people involved, I observed unanimous agreement among them on the following points:
1) There was a "pandemic"
2) Said "pandemic" is over and is only referred to in the past tense
A relative waxed optimistic about a time when the killer virus can be treated like a cold or a flu because as it stands, one can expect to "die alone in a hospital" if they contract the deadly plague. The same individual expressed feeling a sense of privilege at being in an age group which has been approved for early access to the 4th poison injection.
I have two opposing thoughts on the matter. On the one hand, it's disappointing but not surprising that people are so clueless as to honestly believe that the killer virus regime has come to an end and that a return to normalcy is imminent. It's too easy to see how their worldview is easily manipulated by those controlling the flow of information and setting the boundaries of the discourse.
On the other hand, it gives me some hope that there might be some resistance when the inevitable next round of restrictions is announced after the American midterm elections in November. I know that some people are beyond hope, and will eagerly comply with any measures deemed necessary by their benevolent overlords and that in fact some long for the imposition of restrictions. But just maybe, some people are reasonable enough to having a breaking point and can only be jerked around so much before they refuse to comply and begin to see the charade for what it is. Perhaps the taste of freedom being offered now will be too alluring for some who will refuse to allow it to be taken away again.
My optimism on this point is fairly low as I have very little faith in the brainwashed masses to think independently and figure things out on their own, but it's at least above zero for now. The best thing we can do is to accept that at best restrictions will return, but at worst Bill Shill's promised smallpox outbreak or something like it will be unleashed on the global peasantry, rapidly ushering in the full surveillance state and prepare for these nearly certain eventualities. Perhaps this preparation will allow us to provide some assistance to the normies in our lives who were too blind to see the bigger picture.
