I think people should ask themselves the theoretical question: how many more steps before high government officials stand up at podiums in press briefing rooms and say, "Why don't you all go fuck yourselves? End of press conference."
Bonus theoretical question: what percentage of the population still will not see anything wrong with that?
I'd be in that percentage sadly. I'd see that as a baby step in the right direction. And prefer it over weasel fauci lying about gain-of-function etc. and changing definitions and never admitting fault. Them being held accountable still feels so many steps away.
Well, I'd say this about the lies and the lying liars who tell them: the people who believe these weasels (no offense to actual weasels) are not in reality convinced by the lies themselves,
If we take a real close look, they couldn't possibly be convinced by these lies, since they're full of non sequiturs, fallacies, contradictions, unsupported claims, reversals and outright nonsense. This implies that they are not actually examining the claims.
What is happening is that they have been programmed that truth is what the authorities say it is when they say it, rather than that truth comes from the Universe itself. And the authorities, of course, are people in fancy clothes, with titles, who are on television, and who lecture as if they're talking to slow children.
This pattern of "thought", if we may call it that, is what must be changed. IDK if it's possible, but I think so and I hope so and I go forward as if it can be so.
