Any collusion with this "Great Reset" shit needs to be regarded as treason. Because it is. It's a plot to surrender our national sovereignty to an unelected, supranational authority and its being done without our consent.
If the pro-lockdown pro-mask crowd lived in Nazi Germany, they would have supported Hitler and snitched on their neighbours and families.
I think those of us who have libertarian-leanings have some sort of oppositional defiance gene. While most people are conformists.
It amazes me how many people in the west are willing to freely give away their liberty.
Meanwhile I know black, brown and indigenous people who are the furthest thing from Tories who see all this as an infringement on their liberty. Anti-lockdown voices in the left (many "BIPOCs" I come across in Brampton and Mississauga are apolitical though) are afraid to speak up for fear that they'll be shamed for killing granny.
I was actually taking the virus seriously in March when not much was known about it. I was reading the /cvg/ threads on /pol/ back in January and February. I was wearing masks and nitrile gloves along with the Chinks (the early adopters). Some people were saying it was just the flu right from the beginning based on the data that came out of China. But I thought there were a ton of dead Chinks and that China was lying. I still think China lied about the number of tests they conducted and did far less testing than they claimed. And they probably under-counted the dead Chinks but it wasn't an apocalyptic number of deaths either. At one point I thought the millions of SIM card deactivations meant millions of dead Chinks. I was literally crying back in March thinking my dad was gonna catch COVID and die. Now I resent my dad because people like him supported the new lockdowns in Peel and Toronto.
But now that we have lots of data in the west illustrating that this is a virus where the median died with COVID age is 84, that's within the range of a flu. So being the contrarian I am, I went from being full-on doomer before everyone. And now I'm talking to my dad about the Great Barrington Declaration strategy of herd immunity while having voluntary shielding of the elderly and watching his face in horror. lol.
I took the virus seriously in Feb-March as well. In April I was largely confused, and by May I thought the whole thing was fucking stupid.
What changed?
The fatality rate going from 8-10% to .02%.
Yet when the evidence suggested that the virus was 8-10%, the government wasn't even willing to make a single fucking travel restriction... EVEN from the source country! Don't ever forget that when you're assessing the genuineness of the governments response.
If the pro-lockdown pro-mask crowd lived in Nazi Germany, they would have supported Hitler and snitched on their neighbours and families.
I have peers who want to be able to snitch on the non-compliant. These are peers who I grew up with and seemed resonable.
There are probably more pro-totalitarian scums around us than we think.

I don't like conflict.
But I also don't like lies. And the government has been lieing to us. In this case, my dislike of lies and authority over-reach is higher that my conflict-avoidance.
More people are probably willing to accept the "white lies" or just go along with whatever because standing up to authority and karens can be hard when you're adverse to conflict. Or people hide because they are prone to getting really mad. My dad falls in that category.
I think the people hiding because they are mad are the component of society we actually need to see right now, addressing politicians.
