This forum is one of the few places on the Internet where we can discuss non-mainstream perspectives on COVID without censorship. I've been reading this thread for a while, so I wanted to give back now with something I found. I recently came across an essay that folks here might also appreciate:
https://geraldrogue.substack.com/p/medicalization-and-colonization?s=r
While I don't fully agree with the author's POV, he explores lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and other governmental policies as a form of "white liberal supremacy" intentionally designed to harm non-whites and conservative white people too.
I should say in advance that the essay is super long, but also very comprehensive in covering a wide range of issues around COVID, including mass surveillance, regulatory capture, religious exemptions, and medicine as a tool of "biopower" control.
I took another look at the essay this morning, and it's longer than I remembered LOL. So here's a "book report"/summary if anyone wants to jump to a section they're more interested in:
Section 1 covers a history of racism and discrimination in America. You can probably skip most of this. The author explores a theory of "white liberal supremacy", where coastal elites/the mandarins/the "laptop class"/whatever term you want to use has taken over the institutions and wields power in self-serving ways under the guise of altruism (especially racial/class). CTRL-F down to "COVID-19 pandemic policies epitomize the modern systems of white liberal supremacy, and in particular, their grounding in the paradigm of medicalization." For the real starting point of interest re: COVID matters.
Section 2 examines vaccine mandates and vaccine passports as a tool of segregation by race and class. As well as religious exemptions and why they're so often denied, and the associated job firings. A nice quote: "Health – and, due to the process of medicalization, continued employment and participation in society – thus becomes a subscription service for life, ensuring massive and perpetual profits for pharmaceutical and associated corporations, as well as their bought-and-paid-for government officials, captured regulators, and complicit scientists."
Section 3 examines mass surveillance (including an in-depth investigation of tracking systems and vaccine passports in various countries), behavioral science, and media propaganda that's used to gaslight people and cover up the adverse effects of the policies.
Section 4 examines the education system (particularly public schools) and the hypocrisy of white liberals in sending their own kids elsewhere, whether to private schools or schools de facto segregated by zip code. It also covers the spread of mental illnesses during the pandemic (remote learning), and Andrew Cuomo's role in nursing home deaths and #MeToo.
I love this quote on propaganda and the WEF's plans: "Let’s play along and try to predict potential arguments in advance: climate change or some other crisis will necessitate radical changes in lifestyles and lifespans, changes which happily coincide with the policies of white liberal supremacy, what don’t you trust the science, though only for regular people of course, the rich white liberals still need their mansions and servants and private jets, no we’re not building nuclear it has nuclear in the name that’s scary, all the experts tell us the planet is overpopulated, a bunch of people (the ones we don’t want to have too many of) simply have to go, it’s all very sad of course, no one likes human sacrifice but there’s no other way honest, besides we’re not reporting any protesting, why ever leave your rented pod when you’ve got a metaverse interface, we’ll give fancy speeches and post tweets in their memory, and anyway it’s for the common good as we’ve decided it for you, how could anyone be against the common good, what are you some kind of bad person who needs to be penalized, careful now your score gets any lower and it’ll be only half rations of bugslop from here on in. Let’s return to this in a generation or two, and we’ll see how accurately our predictions held up."
Section 5 covers the failures of various political philosophies (and their co-option by systemic power) in the face of their supposed principles, as it's been revealed during the pandemic.
There's also a shitton of links, statistics, and data on these various aspects throughout. I hope this is helpful for anyone interested. It was a really eye-opening essay for me so that's why I wanted to share.
Finally, happy Mother's Day to my fellow mothers on the Farms! (Surprised the powers that be haven't started calling it "birthing person's day" already.)
