For me, the following was the most astounding and troubling part of the early days: Your government immediately divided Americans into “essential” and “non-essential” categories.
Before we proceed, please stop and consider this with the proper gravitas it deserves: Your government called you “non-essential” to your face, and you took it on the chin like a champ, Kiddo. Did you, until that moment, understand your government considers YOU “less-than” or “not as important as them” or… “dispensable”?
That bureaucrats sat in a room somewhere and came up with a policy that called YOU, the literal person paying their salary, “non-essential”?
And that they thought this was… okay? That no one said, “Erhem, maybe we shouldn’t call our own citizens ‘unnecessary,’ ‘redundant,’ or ‘superfluous,’ especially during a global “pandemic”?
Now, add the following wrinkle… These folks, the ones who feel comfortable espousing publicly over and over that they are “more essential” than YOU (repetition is key to successful propaganda), also believed there was a new, surging, deadly virus on the loose (which, turns out, they made, “oops”)…
And these bureaucrats then, as a next step, TOOK ALL THE PROTECTIVE GEAR IN THE WORLD for themselves.
Yes, Kiddo, your Big Bro looked at you, the person who pays them “protective money” (taxes), and told you in no uncertain terms YOU DON’T MATTER AS MUCH AS *I* DO (you’re “non-essential”) and to prove it, WE are taking all the masks, medicines, and mitigating equipment to PROTECT OURSELVES because WE ARE ESSENTIAL and YOU are not!
Sorry to have to break it to you, but your government doesn’t ACTUALLY care about YOU.
Sure, there’s a lot of fluff trying to convince you otherwise, but Covid exposed the sham for what it is.
I know this is a hard truth for folks to swallow, but until you understand and internalize that your government doesn’t care about YOU AT ALL based directly on their own words and actions (when someone tells you who they are, believe them, eh?)–YOU!!!! AN INDIVIDUAL–but rather, the “Public Health System” runs itself and thinks of you only as a nonessential, modeled widget, you will not protect yourself properly. In order to fix a problem, you must understand the root cause.
The root cause of Covidmania was NOT ENOUGH INDIVIDUALS KNOW THEY ARE ESSENTIAL BY VIRTUE OF BEING, AND OUR SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IS NOT.
Some of us were brave.
I was.
I’d learned my lessons with the government years ago, the hard way, and I KNEW protecting myself was up to me, just as many other Free Staters knew it was up to them!
