And I didn't mean a simple vaccine mandate, I meant the same type of dread that struck during March 2020 or before the Anti-Extradition Law killer rampages.
The type where you believe that shit is going to go down and there is basically no hope of getting past this without massive amounts of deaths.
The type of dread that only strikes under the realization that a full blown GENOCIDE like the types that struck Rwanda 1994 or Cambodia 1975.
And it's not a gut feeling that something big is going to rise, it's a feeling that you can simply pick in the air when something FUGLY is going to do down. The WHOLE atmosphere itself will become uneasy.
I'm not feeling this invigorated amongst me despite the EU lockdowns, and sometimes I even felt relaxed as soon as I bother with stuff other than covid and wasn't masked -- something I never experienced before last October.
(And no I did not have a choice, completely unopposed mask mandate)
Anyone else feeling invigorated dread? I somehow did not.
I think what’s different now is we’re starting to exhaust the belief that things will return to normal which is, among other things, starting to cause a massive pullback in risk taking by investors. This will I’m turn cause a crunch in capital markets which will cause unemployment, scarcity, inflation, and defaults. At that point we’re talking about an increase in desperation which will cause widespread social unrest.
So you believe there will be social unrest?
I seriously and honestly do not think so.
And even if there is remember 60 - 99% of any given population in all countries that is not explicitly third world still have the "we will be back to normal" delusions.
The upcoming decade long lockdowns and mass starvation will go entirely unopposed unless a majority of Asia starts their "throw away your mask" movement. I expect zero resistance and the urbanites (New People) will starve, beg for their lives and fall into despair.
I do not have much expectations I will live my live any more than 3 years at this pace, and if somehow there is no fallout or I survive the fallout, I won't even be able to cope with the resulting grief especially when it comes to the latter.
Yes 💯 there will be. As soon as the food stops showing up on the shelves people will get desperate and perhaps violent
No, the food will be on the shelves but your femboi governor won't let you buy them because of "PANDEMIC!!!" or they just purposefully put down calls. There will also be military police or even army patrolling around the suburbs. So no people will just beg for mercy and die.
If you want to have a good idea about how it will played out, go read about the Holodomor. I'm talking about independent, armed Ukranian farmers being starved, begging for mercy and dying alongside every other Ukranian. If this could happen, now imagine what will Gen Z do when similar things strike worldwide.
