Since this community has a higher than average number of spergs like myself who never fell for the bullshit, what are people's thoughts?
Special shout out to the Aussies who never caved. They endured some of the longest lockdowns in the world under military-grade propaganda.
2/2
Most people were 50/50 on the vax and the mandates pushed people over the edge.
The people I know took it to:
1. Keep their job
2. Get back to "normal"
3. Empathy for others
The militant boneheads who called for antivaxxers to be arrested were in the minority.
What I did hear alot of:
" Don't you care about the old people?"
"Come on just take it so we can get herd immunity and get back to normal"
"Enough of your conspiracies bagel, where's your evidence?"
Yes but the mandates came much later in the timeline. I'm trying to deconstruct the decision-making process from the very beginning.
And then to the point where vaccines were introduced.
When the vaccines arrived I was completely baffled by those who tried to cheat their way to the front of the line!! That actually happened.
What in the actual fuck?!
Makes perfect sense that they'd rush to get vaxxed. Poor normies were scared out of their wits.
I see normies like high IQ baboons. They can use basic tools but struggle with abstract thinking or any system/process that is more than 3 steps
I know some very high IQ people with excellent abstract thinking abilities that fell for it. It's not stupidity.
It's more like a combination of habitual ignorance through blind trust, coupled with a higher tendency to comply, either through threat or bribery.
And an inability to believe in the possibility of the Big Lie.
@UncleIroh I agree I know some people in that camp as well.
For them it was a compliance test and they failed it.
I see it as a mix of submissive personalities, fear and trust in gov.
They get ZERO sympathy from me because IMO high IQ compliant people are the most dangerous.
Good riddance!
Great way to frame it: it was both tests, a compliance AND an IQ test.
Some failed both, some passed both, but you only had to pass the compliance test to win since failing the IQ test would have no bearing on the outcome if you didn't comply.
Therefore it pays better odds to be disagreeable and opinionated than it does to be intelligent.
I like this conclusion.
Spot on!
This is why we have to have these conversations online.
Normies don't handle their emotions well and there would be chaos.
