Tonight I am reflecting on conversation I had with a group of people, most of them young.
Two points stood out to me - they believe that Covid-19 is the most dangerous, deadly and contagious virus unlike any seen in the history of the U.S. before. Others standing around were tepid or agreed with this statement.
The last few in the car before we dropped them off said pro-riot comments. They waited for mine and laughed in the silence that followed - gave each other sidelong looks. They are sure I’m horribly lost and behind the times.
This tells me that they have no concept of the importance of the peaceful transfer of power. I’m older so I watched countries in Africa go through one brutal coup after another. But now the MSM hides all that so many think if you can’t get what you want (they want racial justice) you take it with riots.
They also have no concept of how their quality of life could collapse - how they could end up living lifestyles unrecognizable to them in short order if they really help bring about the collapse of the will of the people to be ruled by law.
These young are otherwise intelligent, but their intelligence exists only in permitted trains of thought - those train tracks were laid down in their school and college and so now they are free to think approved thoughts.
For example, they approve the idea that those resisting lockdown or masks are evil and must be met with “swift justice” for endangering the lives of others so recklessly.
I admit I am surprised how well indoctrination has convinced normal people against medical evidence, or even the evidence of their owns lives, that Covid-19 must never be risked, ever. Hard to intercept their thinking when I recall how Facebook and Twitter ran psych studies to determine how best to make people feel they can’t turn their phone off or engage in other activity without constantly connecting to the hive.
Praying tonight for those indoctrinated, and for the rest who don’t know how to awaken them (me, for example). Facts don’t matter because the Hive has told them what to believe. From their perspective - the truth we try to share just emerges from a competing hive that wants to hurt them.
I think this vivid pathology hinders the will to protest obvious abuses - maybe people feel their aunt, neighbor, daughter are likely to become unhinged demanding to know why you want them dead.
Prayers up for wisdom on how best to respond to General Flynn’s letter to MOVE BEYOND PRAYER.
