A key point I may not have adequately emphasized above. From the "Asshole customer" mentality (a bourgeois fake-left psychotic narcissism familiar to many - especially those they step on, every single day) the performative is everything, and the essence (reality, skill, experience) entirely irrelevant.
During our long shared medical emergency, we should have said the most important things were medicine, science, respect, and social cohesion. Medical people worked like crazy, and right behind them came shippers and truckers, who kept every one of the cozy laptop brigade, who COULD work from home, (and seemed to consider everyone who couldn't, subhuman) - well-fed!
But the Asshole Customer brigades in power around the western world decided that the most important things were actually obedience and political advantage.
That's why they fired 25,000 experienced medical people - just in Ontario alone, for failure to comply with radical invasion of bodily autonomy, and suppressed what we now know for sure was not just helpful, but outright crucial science.
At the PEAK, they said - who needs doctors and nurses? What do they know?
What ultimately beat the pandemic was mutation (omicron) and the incredibly wonderful human immune system. The rest was far more about politics, control, force and money than science. (Ivermectin WON the lawsuit against FDA, folks)
As for lockdown mania (which evidence now clearly shows was not effective, just like every legacy policy paper about pandemics said)
EVERY KID IN THE WESTERN WORLD WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED - and these assholes still act like they were glorious heroes who saved humanity, instead of halfwits whose outrageous incompetence was revealed, and did harm to millions which will last for generations. (a vast culture-massacre, too)
Amazing how reliably we get infuriated about propaganda bad guys all around the world, "Get them, smite!" comes easy - but we still can't even show simple solidarity WITH OUR OWN CHILDREN. The west is done, folks. KA-PUTZ.
At least until we turf-out these flattering but empty poseur scumbags, and start talking to each other like humans again, instead of enemies (which was always about politics, and never about society or progress of any kind whatsoever).
Just didn't want anyone thinking that all I was talking about was abstractions.
Nope - life!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And yes, the above use of mass state force against skilled workers also counts as an example of the wholesale betrayal of rights, which that Asshole Customer class so casually and frequently invokes, to get their way.
The best of those medical professionals - self motivating and relentless - but then fired for having philosophical convictions and/or well founded skepticism - will not ever want to go back into the field - leaving (as in the body of the piece) a wasteland of conformists, across a whole slew of institutions where we all know the rebel of principle counts for a hundred, in terms of making stuff better!
(yup - mandates purged the ranks, and made inside change-agents verboten)
RIGHTS ARE FOR A REASON (so are thinking, compassion and principle)
Furious conformist mobs are for one thing only - burning civilization down!
(and we've been way too dry, too long, to take any more match-throwing)
