And I didn't just mean info warfare, it's definitely not working in the big picture, I meant stuff to be done in the real world.
Theoretically, if 70% of Japanese stopped wearing masks out of mass non-compliance would make things look a LOT better, but are there anything that could actually be PRACTICALLY done no matter where you are in?
I feel for you friend and for so many who are suffering under this nonsense. After reading your posts I couldn't stop thinking about what you're experiencing. In fact, your posts are the biggest single reason I created an account on here. I've been lurking for over a year and couldn't live with myself just letting you talk like this. Your efforts have been inspiring and I doubt I'm the only one you've made an impact on. Everything is information warfare. Always has been and always will be.
In your day to day life, smile at people to remind them what they're missing without the mask, hug them to show them how unworthy social distancing is, show them they matter, show them you'll listen. People are capable of intelligence even if they hide it or doubt themselves. I think you'd be surprised how many folks have doubts under the surface but choose to ignore it because it is the easier thing to do. Be wise and ready to give an account of truth and take good actions at every opportunity. Revealing meaningful truths is the best weapon you have but you cannot force enlightenment onto people. You have to connect with people and find what resonates with them and work from there. Obviously this has limitations due to the inhibition of social interaction, but isn't that a sign that these actions threaten the narrative? This is just as much for your benifit as it is theirs, as it will help you remain human and in tune with your objective.
On the societal scale, the single most effective and practical thing we can do to end this has yet to be revealed. We are up against an entrenched behemoth that has a stranglehold on peoples minds. You can either detach them one by one from the tentacles of that beast or find a way to kill the beast. The problem is how to separate the unwilling hosts from the willing hosts. The willing hosts are essentially extentions of the beast and do not want to be seperated. They will thrash about and take down the unwilling hosts if you simply kill the beast. The unwilling hosts are just being used for sustenance and would join in taking it down if they could manage to keep thier eyes open and see what is happening. The beast is currently entering a transformative phase and is trying to eliminate the need for the unwilling hosts because they are increasingly a threat. This is actually counter-productive to its very life because it needs humans to live. Notice how I said the willing hosts are an extension of the beast? It's going to try and exist on the willing hosts alone, but in doing so it will only isolate itself and die. The real work comes after this happens. Those who are cut loose from the beast will need to be enlighted and nurtured quickly so another one doesn't spring up. I hope you can forgive me for speaking in allegory but I must speak so that the truth of this comes from inside you if you really are an unwilling host.
We must always be searching and seeking and remembering and keeping ourself under diligent discipline to be consistent with what information we have and what that implies for the next moment. I cannot tell you what the correct actions will be for you, but only to always consider what that may be, and to have the courage and be ready to take action when your conscience prompts you.
