I was listening to the Delingpole Podcast yesterday, his recent interview with Bret Weinstein and his wife, Heather. While understandably not everyone is a fan of the pair, Bret mentioned something that stunned me because I wish I had thought of it. Prior to COVID, no how many facts and statistics and science you threw at some people, usually leftists, their trump card to ignore it was their own "lived experience."
"Lived experience" allowed them to look past data showing America wasn't systematically racist, or that women weren't oppressed. He also pointed out that, today, just as then, you throw facts, statistics, historical comparisons, and "see I told you so" stuff (mycarditis and endless boosters) about the covid shot and it bounces off their armor of cognitive dissonance.
But what's REALLY telling, is that when you use your own, or others, "lived experience" about the covid vax, now the covid cultists are telling us "lived experience" doesn't count for anything. Witness what happened to Eric Clapton, a man who makes a living using his hands...and he almost lost the use of them due to the coof vax. His story is real, undeniable, powerful, and personal. It was also heartbreaking, both in what happened to him but how people denied his "lived experience" as not valid evidence.
Still, I use the fact that I have two close relatives that took the shot and suffered for it. There may be more, but only two are willing to speak about it. One has severe joint pain now, first time in his life, and the other, she has necropathy in her extremities. She's now on SS disability. This is real, "lived experience" that I have shared with others when the subject of the vax comes up.
We should consider how "social distancing" makes it harder to know lived experiences of others, even if they try to disregard it, if they hear from multiple personal sources they might come round.
This social distancing made many people more isolated, even with no lockdowns, people are less socially active thus they cannot get an accurate image of the world, only what the MSM feeds them.
I suppose you're right, but I would qualify it with the idea that we are able to share online in forums like this, or even listening to the podcast itself, which prompted the post.
I can't really disagree.
soon people will ask for peer reviewed papers to accept what you lived and overcame yourself...
trust ! the ! science
Well it is my lived experience that kids dont have fucking heart attacks and strokes
That's partially the point Bret was making. The "lived experience" as undeniable proof of X or Y, despite all evidence to the contrary, was indeed born out of fake news or propaganda. Or in fairness, perhaps one anecdote by the black guy about getting pulled over by the cops gets spun into "all cops are racist" stuff and "the man" is out to get him. The person may actually have been pulled over by the cops, but that's about it.
The irony is that my lived experiences, or Eric Clapton's, or anyone who had a bad reaction to the jab, is being downplayed as not real, or trivial, via the same outlets that told you in 2019 that "lived experiences" were the ultimate evidence of anything, no matter what statistics Ben Shapiro would bring to the table telling you cops shoot more white people per capita or some shit like that.
Unfortunately yes, we'll just add it to the list of things that no longer exist:
*Logic *Lived experience *Empathy/compassion *Common sense
Cheers to those that remember when these mattered! Also really sorry for all that are suffering especially the ones you mentioned above, I hope something helps dude, seriously uncool.
If they can irreparably damage a single country, they can and will try this worldwide.
Cambodia 1975 is the test. This is the real deal. The Covid World crap is NOT unprecedented, logic, lived experience, empathy and common sense will hardly matter when Pol Pot is in charge.
Indeed. Are you doing anything besides informing of the past to combat this?
Can I even?
If you're the only guy who's awake then there's nothing you could do.
Did you remember how I said 99% of Asians believe in the Covidian Cult and that will lead to our defeat?
It only takes a spark to start a whole blaze Edit, how to start a fire: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=start+a+fire+unspoken&t=h_&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DFXHYykW28SA
I forgot that you can add Hope to the things that no longer exist as well.
And yes, do not hold any hope. The only thing you need to believe in is everything burns.
Request denied. Hope and Love still exist. The sun will shine again.
Sure, the sun will shine again. But at what price?
Above my paygrade friend.
I refuse to engage in that level of dehumanization, really the sin of excessive solipsism, with the people you refer too. That's doing to them the same they do to the "unvaxxed" as "not deserving of health care/food/freedom, etc. etc." NPC is just a good descriptor, that's all, I think they really are people. A baby is a person, similarly.
That said, I agree that they don't think for themselves. Thus, as was pointed out by others in this thread, we need the levers of power to program them the way we want them to be.
History isn't valid evidence that we are about to lose their game in the era of COVID, either.
I don't even understand how do people think we will force them to step back without billions dead or traumatized even despite whatever we're doing here is amounting to giving them the win. Think of the Russians resisting the Bolsheviks in the early 20th century.
Well, they spoke about this on the podcast. There are very few historical situations, (maybe Jonah and Nineveh?) where once we get to the point where we are at currently, there is some sort of collective walking back of things.
The light of hope, they suggest, is that while many people dutifully took their jabs, endless boosters seems to be the deal breaker for many.
As for me, I don't think it will get that bad (despite your dire predictions) because if they go door to door, the cops, health officials, and military are going to start getting the business ends of guns pointed at them.
What? There are plenty.
Dark Ages.
Bolshevik Russia.
Khmer Rouge.
Do not be fooled by the "Pandemic" premise, this is NOT a pandemic false flag, not even the Spanish Flu managed to reach this level.
This is a Communist Genocide. And if Communists deal with you, NEVER expect them to just jab you a few times and call it a day. People WILL visibly and literally perish in living conditions intended to traumatize and starve.
I think we are talking past each other, because I'm not clear what I mean. By "collective walking back of things" I mean situations where there is a collective paranoia (Salem Witch Trial or COVID or Japanese internment, Armenian Genocide, etc. etc.) where society gets right up to the point where it goes insane, but then some people stand up for what's right and the herd doesn't run off the cliff. Can you think of examples? The examples I list are where it did go off the rails.
The examples you list are ones were shit did go off the rails, and things had to be picked up later, though I disagree with the Dark Ages as an example of anything other than the collapse of Roman Empire via bad luck combined with stupid policies.
Umm I don't think the Witch Trials or Armenian Genocide didn't run off the cliff. If at anything we're almost off the Covid World cliff here.
And no as far as I know I think they pull this shit off every time they try to. No such thing as not off the rails.
Also the Dark Ages isn't bad luck combined with stupid policies, the policies are INTENTIONALLY STUPID for the sake of Zionist control over the serfs.
The Armenian Genocide wasn't a "madness of crowds" situation? Okay, that's just wrong on many, many levels. As for the Salem Witch Trials, it's pretty much a textbook case, like tulip bulb mania or a stock bubble.
As for the Dark Ages. Jews were not in control of anything in the Western Roman Empire, let alone barbarian controlled Western Europe after the fall of the empire. Hell, they weren't even physically present in Europe at that point.
It is. Make no mistake.
Catholics aren't saints in the Dark Ages. They perpetuate serfdom as they fatten themselves.
I suppose we will have to just agree to disagree on the Armenian Genocide.
Catholics weren't, and aren't, saints. There is a reason why there is the sacrament of confession. Lots of bad along with the good.
That said, Christianity is what led to modern pseudo-equality and the eventual end of serfdom and slavery, because the premise behind it is that all people are made in the image of God. Only Christian Europe, with many fits and starts, ended slavery and then forced the rest of the world to do the same.
