Slouching Toward the End Times
The Pipeline ^ | March 24, 2021 | David Solway

....One sees the signs of demoralization and lethargy everywhere in the little things: the way people avoid each other and isolate in their portable “bubbles”; the way people murmur and mutter behind their face swaddlings; the way some people drive, fully masked, breathing in their own drowsy-making CO2, idling at stoplights, executing unpredictable maneuvers, and oblivious of traffic merges—as I can ruefully attest; and, most emphatically, in the way people walk, especially though not exclusively among the older population, tilting downward, phlegmatic and heavy, like sagging bladders of terminal despondency. This is terrifying to see....

In fairness, however, it should be acknowledged that the majority of people, young as well as older, have accepted the diktats of government officials and their public CMOHs (chief medical officers of health) as oracles, without questioning the information they dispense or consulting independent, non-governmental-aligned epidemiological authorities, such as The Great Barrington Declaration, the American Institute for Economic Research, JAMA and many others. Public obeisance is at the root of the travesty of voluntary disempowerment....“Those who know the least obey the best,” wrote George Farquhar in The Inconstant.

I have seen the identical syndrome my friend mentions at work in the members of my own family, who implicitly believe everything the lying media tell them about masks, lockdowns and vaccines, and treat my warnings as merely conspiratorial. The respect they have, amounting almost to adulation, for health bureaucrats and medical hired guns, who may not “know anything” and who have occasionally violated their own proscriptions, is quite discouraging. My relatives refuse to look up anything for themselves or credit the clear evidence when it is presented to them. The mental disposition of those I care for reproduces the physical deportment they increasingly exhibit, the signs of a profound distress which they cannot disguise.....

It's like millions of demons have possessed people all at once.

The mask is a sign of submission to the power of the state.

I do think there is demonic deception involved. Meanwhile, what a great new vocabulary word: aboulic (or as the author spelled it, “abulic.”)

I’ve noticed the same beaten down demeanor among people wearing their masks all the time.

They are literally slouching and walking around with their heads down.

All masked up on a sunny, breezy, warm day.

I’m just waiting for the first person to chide me for not wearing a mask outside.

Can you tell a joke without someone being offended? Do people make stupid declarations, and dare you to contradict them? Truth, responsibility, and reason are the new swear words. It is easy to see why people stay to themselves.

Me too.

I am looking for an argument with them.

Sometimes I feel like asking them how the chemo is going just to start something.

I’m handling my “downtrodden” feeling with indignant, derisive rage.

I stomp around “naked” and I don’t care if it freaks others out.

I will not be muzzled because I’ve not bitten anyone...yet.

If you can’t find somebody to let you bite them, I will let you bite [gently] me.

Little do they know that when I fart in the grocery store, I am filling the air with microbes. They can’t mask my butt
