I want to thank you guys for this awesome thread. I’ve lurked forever and really appreciate the company for this mass psychosis roller coaster. Just dropping a status report from the hinterlands for your anecdote files.
My family split between government pay checks and the private sector. The government workers got to “work” from home and between no commuting and even lower performance expectations their lives have dramatically improved and they never want to go back, so they are full-throated Branch Covidians.
They are all scared of me so we never talk about it, but they are bullying and threatening my dad. Withholding grandkids, accusing him of being in the “Fox News Cult”, guilt tripping him etc. General bullying aholes.
My extended family however, is now radicalizing. I noticed all my boomer aunties joining Telegram at once, so I reached out.
In this rural area no one is getting tested and no one is going to the hospital. There is a vet providing ivermectin, and they are helping each other, educating and supplying vitamin d, zinc etc. So far no one has gotten overly ill, without testing we don’t know if it’s Covid or just colds but these people are armed to the teeth, and furious.
One of my uncles has been fired so far for refusing the jab. More are expecting it.
They are not talking on Facebook. They are on private telegrams. They assume they are being monitored there as well but they aren’t getting dog-piled by cultists and they can share info.
Their natural reticence and distrust is leading to decent opsec.
They are shockingly well informed actually. From their networks they are seeing most of what’s coming through on this thread.
The family has been in the area since it was settled in the early 20th century.
This area has two layers: the settler families who all know and trust each other, and the newcomers who don’t even know the other layer exists. The settler families are WHITE HOT right now. No crazy stuff planned but there is an invisible network of support that is fascinating to watch. These are self-organizing people by nature.
They feel completely betrayed by the society they spent their lives building. I wouldn’t want to eff with them but the System is squaring up. We will lose a lot if they get ground up.
