So, setting aside the fact that all the scientific studies show masks have no effect on the transmission of CoVid-1984,
Let me just ask this simple question:
Who Believes for even a second that wearing a mask for 30 seconds while being seated in a restaurant, and then taking their mask off for an hour to eat, drink and make merry, makes any sense, and actually Believes that this ritual somehow “Keeps us Safe” ?
I would bet not 1 in a 100 would raise their hand. Yet, everyone does it because they are told to do so.
Why do people go along with craziness that they know to be crazy?
This is clearly not science;
It may not even be Religion (at least people Believe in their religious Dogmas and Rituals).
The existence of the meaningless ritual, and the countless people religiously following it, can only be explained by Mass Psychosis, a CoVid-1984 Cult. A Cult where people are doing things that they KNOW not only don’t make sense, but that they KNOW are even harmful to themselves and their community.
How to explain this?
I like this article by Kit Knightly:
The Covid narrative is insane and illogical…and maybe that’s no accident
The article starts with this quote from George Orwell’s 1984:
Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense.”
and the article ends:
People being mind broken into being afraid of something they told isn’t frightening, following rules they are told are not necessary, taking “medicine” they are told does not work.
Maybe forcing people to believe your lies, even as you admit you are lying, is the purest expression of power.
And/Or, this could just be the Human Condition — People will always follow their leaders off to the next war.
Yep, opening up the "why" can is like going down a Rabbit Hole. Maybe the Queen could believe 5 impossible things before breakfast, but I'm not that advanced.
Another good post, Tim, thanks. Like commenter Frank GL, I'm not following any leaders anywhere, and certainly not participating in violence (unless it's me defending myself, my family, and/or my property & possessions)! But I know what you mean, there are a heck of a lot of people playing follow-the-leader and ditching their own Inner BS Detectors for something.
