Yeah...well...Yuri, we can take solace in the fact that we weren't sheep.

Why?

1. We were not afraid to be wrong. And we were not afraid to call WRONG wrong. We were willing to stand up to social tyranny. In other words; we had balls.

2. Curiosity

3. Empathy

4. We were willing to pay the price. Many, many people feared losing something (job, social relationships, Costco privileges,etc). The fear of losing something is the biggest motivator known to mankind. It will launch a thousand hideous ships of terror.

5. I suspect most accepted how it would end; knowing that resistance was done for your freedom but also that of others...and that there would be no credit and everyone would choose to learn nothing and want to move on and that we would be accused of not moving on.

6. Knowing that the only thing worse than being shamed was to be a coward

7. I also suspect most of us simply could not pretend that nobody else was pretending

I often wonder what separated folks who saw through the nonsense. That's my best guess. Feel free to correct me.

And you know what? What wonderful qualities We The People have here. It always comes down to the few to fight tyranny.

History has been thrust upon us. It's on us...and up to us; I pray it's in us.

The circle of abuse picture towards the end of your article is chilling. Literally every sign of being in an abusive relationship was shown during the Covid "crisis".

The sad thing is that so many not only wouldn't recognize that the government abused them, but many still cling to their Covid talismans and others have conveniently forgotten what happened less than 5 years ago.
