When someone says publicly they want to murder me and passes a law to make that happen I take them at their word. You think they're playing chicken and just mean to cow their opposition? I doubt it.
Well that is sorta what I meant by neutralize. But I see your point too--I was referring to like activists and other problem children and you were (I think referring) to using them to manage the stragglers left over. Truth probably somewhere in the middle.
More than 1% of most countries will never take the vaccine. Even here in Branch Covidian central at least 5% of the population have told the government to get fucked even on pain of losing their livelihoods and being unable to access almost any public service or business, I should know as I'm one of them. What will the Austrian government do with someone like me when 95% of the population have been cowed into rolling up their sleeves? They're going to let it slide? "Nah we're good now, just kidding". The pushback they'd get from their Branch Covidian base would be intolerable. Once you threaten people with these kinds of punishments the gloves are off. I'll leave it there but things are going to be getting very fucking interesting in the coming months.
Here is what I expect; I expect the pendulum to swing back HARD in blowback to the "Great Reset". I expect it to fail. I also expect the planners of it are okay with a failure because making it any number of steps along the way to their goal is still to their benefit. Even if my wildest conspiracy theories are accurate, this is just too much to coordinate worldwide for it to work out.
Total global feudalism is just the completionist stretch goal.
Regardless, a worldwide decimation of the middle classes is now locked in and is totally assured.
I believe some countries are going to endure horrors beyond the levels seen in WW2. I believe some are already there, and for others momentum is going to bring them to that point.
I also believe other countries are going to fare much better. whether through a combination of checks & balances, national unity and organized resistance, or perhaps apathy as a target (hey Africa!). Remember, the Baby Boom came out of the USA exiting WW2 on top.
I also agree things are going to become very interesting shortly. I believe we are at the end of the beginning. We were on track to a crash worse than 2008 before COVID even became a thing, now we are on track for something far worse than even the Great Depression. Entire regions are going to be unrecognizable and inhospitable by the end of next year.
In other news my father-in-law is currently hospitalized and admitted after taking the jab. What angers me the most about this (other than it being an irrational decision based on the known facts that were available to him this entire time), is that my sister in law had serious complications after her booster three weeks ago, and was hospitalized. He changed his mind after that but then changed it again and went ahead and got the jab. Between that and a hard conversation with a friend this weekend who is not doing well financially I feel like Cassandra right now. But hey, my wife is back at work after a bout with the coof and taking horse dewormer to cure it, so at least she listens to me.
I will leave with a fun fact: did you know the 5-year survival rate of Acute Myocarditis is less than 20%?
