Because they’re stupid, fearful, moronic sheep who don’t belong in a free country of independent people.

Chantal Delsol, in her landmark Unlearned Lessons of the Twentieth Century understands this very well, I think:

Vital resistance and resentment are the two main responses to the events of 1989. Vital resistance: the mind realizes its mistake - it admits, for example, that nationalization of the means of production does not produce a happy society, but rather laziness and constant shortages; it refuses, however, to let go of the idea because of its passionate attachment to it. Existence - adventures, friendships, successes - is nourished and permeated by this belief to such an extent that the belief becomes an identity; the individual cannot renounce it without committing a kind of symbolic suicide. No one can admit... that his existence reflects the echo of a failure.
In other words, no one wants to admit that the premises upon which one has constructed their entire raison d’être is an empty, shrieking fraud. This goes a long way towards explaining the tortured mental gymnastics and pretzel logic employed by the woke crowd. Hate to tell them, but Cirque du Soleil isn’t hiring leftist mental contortionists – they’re not funny and they’re boring.

"Most men can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it obliges them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven thread by thread into the fabric of their lives."
Dr. Thomas Gold

Yes, that was an article where the writer was paid by the word.

FR was an invaluable clearing house during the pandemic. It was also a demolition derby of theories, analysis, and opinion. As hard as it can be to remember, back in Feb 2020 there were as many FReepers who thought it was TEOTWAWKI as there were who thought it was just the flu.

Within that demolition derby, a refinement and tightening of a worldview emerged. More data and articles were posted on FR including pieces out of The Lancet, Science, NEJM, and Babylon Bee that CNN, Fox, MSLSD, and virtually every other media outlet combined couldn't have matched in terms of clarity, analysis, and directness. That content wasn't always accurate, but that free marketplace of ideas allowed Truth to emerge. If that wasn't awesome enough, Nully's ping list and DoughtyOne's daily data posts and other "citizen reporting" deepened an already vast reservoir of compelling content.

Candidly, the writer's "why" question doesn't require War & Peace. One of the most magnificent contemporary pieces was written by Jeffrey Snyder, A Nation of Cowards. While the piece is overtly about concealed carry, it is much broader than that. To wit:

Is your life worth protecting? If so, whose responsibility is it to protect it? If you believe that it is the police's, not only are you wrong -- since the courts universally rule that they have no legal obligation to do so -- but you face some difficult moral quandaries. How can you rightfully ask another human being to risk his life to protect yours, when you will assume no responsibility yourself?...One who values his life and takes seriously his responsibilities to his family and community will possess and cultivate the means of fighting back...He will never be content to rely solely on others for his safety, or to think he has done all that is possible by being aware of his surroundings and taking measures of avoidance.

What Snyder wrote applies literally to every situation under the sun, not just thieves in the night or bad dudes in an alley but bureaucrats in lab coats and college faculty in sport coats. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. That's what most of us on FR practice.

As the meme goes, one does not simply become Deplorable over night. Sure, it's easy to see the immorality of what was going on. It may have been easy to say "this is stupid...the masks are stupid...lockdowns are stupid..." But, as difficult as it may be for people who've had a Framer's mindset all their life, noobs don't just follow up that new attitude with the ninja-like thought process and access to information to facilitate a successful redpilling in an instant. That process takes some time.

Those of us with a Snyder-like mindset that's exercised often, must not only resist forgetting about the Royal Scam, but start red-pilling anyone who starts engaging in Mindcrime, and reveals that he/she started thinking that the past two years were a Scam. We will need their participation in the demolition derby next time.

Nothing. That’s what.

People are too busy staring into their smart phones to give a damn.

More anti-vaxxer porn from the man recognized as the biggest purveyor of anti-vaccine misinformation. Mercola has acquired a net worth of over $100 million selling ‘alternative’ medicine products to the naive and gullible.

Interesting article but the COVID con had the opposite effect on me. Rather than huddle in my house all day like many others, I actually kept the TV turned off and went outside every day during the shutdown period. Being able to work at home connected me with my neighborhood and I got to take walks every day through them.

During the entire period, I never wore a mask (unless I was compelled to), never social distanced and never took the experimental "vaccines."

I remained healthy throughout and never got sick.

“When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I’ve got that feeling once again
I can’t explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb”
