These are truly historic times. Moronic behaviour is on full display, with people eagerly begging to be tortured. They listen non-stop to propaganda, they wear their masks without objection, and if anyone steps out of line, they'll happily stand up and shout at them. It's as if we're willingly embracing in our own lives what we quite recently protested when done to terrorist detainees.
What makes this all the more shocking is the scope of compliance. There's hardly a dissident to be seen. It appears that the overwhelming majority of our fellow men are complete morons, unable to see the flu scare for the scam that it is.
While the flu looked like something to be feared back in February, it was clear from evidence available by early April that this was in fact a pretty harmless flu, not much different from the average seasonal one. With so much more evidence for this available today, there's no excuse for not knowing how harmless this flu is. Anyone still scared by this flu is therefore an unthinking moron, unable to separate propaganda from facts.
Seeing the vast majority of my fellow men submit so willingly to propaganda is truly saddening. People I once held in esteem for being intelligent and learned have revealed themselves as little more than parroting drones. However, there's also a silver lining. It's now abundantly clear who's a moron and who's not. While some of my friends disappoint, others shine. There's definitely hope.
What's also clear is that those who spend their time out with friends rather than huddled down in front of the TV are by far the most sane and well reflected. This is irrespective of IQ and formal education. The biggest morons are just as likely to be well educated people as so called simpletons. In fact, my impression is that many simpletons are a great deal harder to convince of the supposed existential danger of this flu than are the learned.
