I would most definitely agree with you.Honestly not to be a downer but I really dunno about that. It's crazy to me that the majority thinks we're a "freedom loving" nation (I mean shouldn't everyone be ffs) and we're in this mess cause we're not 'obedient' enough, when in my eyes we are actually a disgrace. They haven't even gotten an ounce of push back after putting us into what will end up being a 9 month lockdown for restrictions to remain for summer and then back in place again for winter. Told the vaccine was the only way out - when there are even undeveloped nations living completely normally - and then told it's actually not the way out and we have years of this to come. There's been riots and massive protests in Vienna, France, Italy etc for much less.
A lot of people were genuinely confused by the Holland (I think it was?) curfew riots as if they had no reason to be upset. When there is no logical or scientific reason to impose a curfew to fight a virus. If it's not about control then why are they... controlling us? Without justification? Weird
Nothing would make me happier than being wrong. But even if I view it as more of a 'fall of the West'/CCP takeover versus a global great reset I think the UK is finished in both scenarios. We seem to be the epicentre of this nonsense and no one's even that bothered. Not sure they can do anything to push us over the edge at this point, it's embarrassing
Story Time: During the height of the financial crisis in Ireland I was working in the UK and part of my job involved travel around the country (I was working in TV ironically lol). I remember lots of people spotting my very distinct southern Irish accent and the conversation was always the same "Why are you all taking it" in reference to what was going on with the bank bailouts here. More often than not I just laughed it off and said I haven't an iota why. There was this one farmer bumped into in Coventry or just outside it on my rounds, I had got a flat tyre in the lashing rain and he helped me to fix it and offered me some tea. When we were chatting he asked me the same thing "Why are you Irish just sitting down and taking this bank bailout and the IMF etc", and the thing was he was so confused by this. It gave me food for thought because it was normal to the Irish, the type of "ah sure what do you expect, we are in a crisis we need the IMF", and "ah sure what do you expect the billionaires need to be paid for taking a huge risk and loosing because they wont bet again in the future".
It brings me back to a video I posted here before by Tony Benn, the first time I ever seen it was a Michael Moore documentary called Sicko which I was watching on a flight to New York. It is about the USA healthcare system and its problems vs the UK and other parts of the world.
The part that sticks in my mind then and even now is Tony Benn saying the way to control people is to "Frighten Them, then Demoralize them", In Ireland during the financial crisis, Frighten them - People were kicked out on the street daily by baliffs (box ticked), Demoralize them - People lost jobs by the thousands weekly, and had no meaning to their life (box ticked) Result, nobody complained about the bailouts, or the temporary charge the Irish people are still paying as a tax today.
Applying the same logic to today.........
Frighten them:
There is a pandemic out there
You could carry the virus and you might not even know
Assume you have the virus
A new strain arriving at the first sign of hope (each and every time and bang on cue)
Non stop media gaslighting with zero balance (seriously nobody is allowed remotely question the narrative)
Demoralize them:
Lockdowns
Continuing lockdowns with no reasonable excuse
Wearing masks that clearly state on labels they are not designed for covid
Job Losses
Unable to see family and friends
Not allowed question a thing or you will be shamed by your local SJW mouthpiece
Confined to what is effectively house arrest
"see i think there are two ways in which people are controlled...first of all frighten people, then secondly demoralize them. An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern." - Tony Benn
