I have mentioned earlier that the real purpose of this otherwise useless masking was to:

1. Humiliate
2. Subjugate
3. Alienate
4. Isolate

Theodore Dalrymple echoes this idea:

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

And here we are.

Went to share this with a few Facebook friends and it immediately was banned as being hate speech before it even got posted.

Clarity is something that Facebook abhors when it goes against their chosen message.

“propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate;”

It definitely works. When masks were worn, people’s personalities changed in an instant. No mask = normal psyche and interaction with others. The minute a mask was put on we immediately shrank into ourselves, cowered a little, got testy, and lost sense of elf. Get home, remove the mask ... complete personality change for the better.

‘Someone’ has revealed the fact that Americans are herd-able. And soon we will be tyrannically subjugated, forced to receive a jab of genetic material or become non-functioning serfs, as opposed to dutifully functioning serfs.

For any right leaning individuals who’ve spent too much time behind enemies in the blue states during their covid lockdowns... you might be starting to feel some form of PTSD

first off, realize... you’re not alone and you’re not crazy.

next, take a deep breath.

then pull out a map and plot a course to the nearest American border (ie: red state) and drive...

i’d recommend coming to florida to detox. we’ve never forgotten America and it shows. get a fishing cabin or book a scuba cruise. or just mellow out near the shore (always near the shore not inland). it’ll be hot this time of year, but that’s why they made air conditioning, fans, and ice cold beer.

come back to America, brother. just remember to leave that blue state thinking behind you
