This comment from Christopher Blum strikes to my core
I am shocked but not surprised by the fact that not a single one of my passively compliant friends, much less any of my rabidly COVIDian ones, has even acknowledged that everything they were being fed on COVID severity, vaccines, masks, and lockdowns was untrue, and in fact all lies. Not all of them have turned to the new Long COVID narrative, or doubled down Feigl-Ding-like; the dominant characteristic is silence. I'm particularly struck by my limousine liberal friends not seeing any conflict between taking on pro bono cases on prisoner liberty interests while at the same time either advocating or acquiescing to compelled conduct and deprivations of liberty on a country-wide scale, including threatening livelihoods of critical thinking dissenters like me who tried to lead to a better place. I knew in my gut apologies were too much to expect, but the absolute void is nonetheless disturbing.
I see that everywhere right now. Uniformly people who were doing the same under TDS in 2019. Or racism and white supremacy in 2020. It’s all The Same Thing. Cultivated mass-mania, blind and rabid.
That came from our COVID chat:
