That brings up an interesting point. People naturally don't want to be around negativity, but when negativity is around you, what is left to do but tolerate it or just shut out of it? You have people trying to make ends meet with a troubling economy while walking on eggshells of the next overreaction.
Really, you have to look out for YOU and your interests at this point. Perhaps it's for the best that you develop apathy just to save yourself from overload.
I think that's what finally broke normal, every-day, social cohesion. A TON of people finally figured out that the world we live in, or society, is not a monolith, and this whole shebang can come crashing down the very instant people lose faith in it.
4 years of hysteria is going to lead to multiple decades of fending for oneself. I'm personally fine with that, but most people are not. There's still going to be some vacancy and longing in the hearts of people who want things to "just go back the the way they were", but the genie isn't going back into the bottle for a while yet.
I think covid "mindbroke" many if not the vast majority of people, it lasted too damn long and in retrospective I feel governments did some shit on purpose just to test how much they could push their populations without them rebelling.
At the end many realized they lost a good 2-3 years of their lives forever. Marriages failed during this shit, families got separated, kids and adults killed themselves. They got told to 'trust the science' but the science changed every week.
Many got duped to get 6 doses of an experimental vaccine that at best does not work and at worst...........who knows.
I feel there's a metric fuckton of rage simmering under the surface.
It's probably the biggest psyop of all time, too bad it was years of amateur hour execution, I think it's the duty of everyone now to direct this rage people have, towards the right vector, which is government, and the types of people who go for the type of power that government provides. Your maskie neighbor is not doublemasking in their car, and triplemasking at the supermarket because they care about their health. They're doing it because they crave these draconian and unnatural ways of living. They are trying to impose their (government-designated) will onto you. The only difference between the beginning of the pandemic and now, is that they can't publicly shame you for taking safety into your own hands. They're not the loudest voice in the room anymore, and they know it, but you know that the second you get too close to them, they're going to lose their fucking minds, just to see if someone will harm you for it.
The Government may have thrown the levers, but the hypochondriac Nazis who wanted you jailed for leaving your home, or not getting the poison jab, are the real enemy. People need to be made aware of that, and be told that it's okay to fuck them up for it. Your most direct and greatest enemy isn't some parasite in an ivory tower, it's the parasite living next-door who is leeching off of the power from the parasite in the ivory tower.
