The Covidian Cult
October 14th, 2020Via: Consent Factory:
One of the hallmarks of totalitarianism is mass conformity to a psychotic official narrative.
…
It is happening to most of our societies right now. An official narrative is being implemented. A totalitarian official narrative. A totally psychotic official narrative, no less delusional than that of the Nazis, or the Manson family, or any other cult.
Most people cannot see that it is happening, for the simple reason that it is happening to them.
I have to be honest, this really read like a rant from somebody’s crazy uncle on Facebook (minus the spelling and grammatical errors and disjointed paragraphs that an actual such rant would probably involve, I’ll grant you). Besides the overall shrieking, hysterical tone that makes me more and not less likely to dismiss Covid-consensus-dissenters, there’s this choice bit:
The global masses have been subjected to a constant stream of propaganda, manufactured hysteria, wild speculation, conflicting directives, exaggerations, lies, and tawdry theatrical effects. Lockdowns. Emergency field hospitals and morgues. The singing-dancing NHS staff. Death trucks. Overflowing ICUs. Dead Covid babies. Manipulated statistics. Goon squads. Masks. And all the rest of it.
So I’m supposed to believe that all the terrible things that happened in New York during the spring and that are starting to happen in my own home state were and are all just faked and staged? That really makes me wonder who is actually promoting a cult mindset about the virus.

Agree with you about the tone of the piece.
Interested to know more about what’s going on in your state.
Here in Australia (and NZ), nothing is happening really. I live near one of Sydney’s major hospitals and am friends with a nurse who works there. She tells me the covid ward is a big non-event and that the nurses are rather bored. There’s fairly widespread skepticism about all the media hoo-hah.
Most of Australia’s population live in the major cities, and Sydney and Melbourne (used to) have a lot of interaction with China; the Chinese immigrant and student population is significant. In other words, it’s had a lot of contact (and I suspect there’s reason to think most of the spread/exposure here occurred pre-lockdowns). How would you say your state compares?
FWIW, regarding my suggestion Australia (and other nations, it would seem) had covid exposure long before lockdowns:

As I indicated in another comment on Cryptogon, I do think lockdowns are misguided because Covid is sufficiently contagious that it would be very easy to lose whatever gains a lockdown might afford. Given that and how economically damaging said lockdowns have shown themselves to be, it’s not surprising that there is an increasing official disaffection towards the policy.

If Oz has less of a problem with the virus, it’s probably because your country takes public-health maintenance more seriously than the USA. And who knows, perhaps Australia has fewer citizens with the serious health conditions that make Covid-infection dangerous. The USA, unfortunately, is teeming with those who have these conditions.
Though for the sake of people over there, I really hope these discussions of compelling public acceptance of an insufficiently-tested Covid vaccine go nowhere. I agree with Dr. Malcolm Kendrick that such a policy would be getting into some serious Third Reich territory.
