20 Things I’ve Learned (Or Had Confirmed) About Humanity During The ‘Pandemic’

[Edsl48]

1. Most people would rather be in the majority, than be right.
2. At least 80% of the population has strong authoritarian tendencies, which will emerge under the right conditions.
3. Fear of death is only rivaled by the fear of social disapproval. The latter could be stronger.
4. Propaganda is just as effective in the modern day as it was 100 years ago. Access to limitless information has not made the average person any wiser.
5. Anything and everything can and will be politicized by the media, government, and those who trust them.
6. Many politicians and large corporations will gladly sacrifice human lives if it is conducive to their political and financial aspirations.
7. Most people believe the government acts in the best interests of the people. Even many who are vocal critics of the government.
8. Once they have made up their mind, most people would rather to commit to being wrong, than admit they were wrong.
9. Humans can be trained and conditioned quickly and relatively easily to significantly alter their behaviors – for better or worse.
10. When sufficiently frightened, most people will not only accept authoritarianism, but demand it.
11. People who are dismissed as ‘conspiracy theorists’ are often well researched and simply ahead of the mainstream narrative.
12. Most people value safety and security more than freedom and liberty, even if said ‘safety’ is merely an illusion.
13. Hedonic adaptation occurs in both directions, and once inertia sets in, it is difficult to get people back to ‘normal’.
14. A significant percentage of people thoroughly enjoy being subjugated.
15. ‘The Science’ has evolved into a secular pseudo-religion for millions of people in the West. This religion has little to do with science itself.
16. Most people care more about looking like they are doing the right thing, rather than actually doing the right thing.
17. Politics, the media, science, and the healthcare industries are all corrupt, to varying degrees. Scientists and doctors can be bought as easily as politicians.
18. If you make people comfortable enough, they will not revolt. You can keep millions docile as you strip their rights, by giving them money, food, and entertainment.
19. Modern people are overly complacent and lack vigilance when it comes to defending their own freedoms from government overreach.
20. It’s easier to fool a person than to convince them that they have been fooled.

I still have a hard time coming to terms with the Covid-induced revelation that most people refuse to think for themselves and willingly accept the 24/7/365 news cycle fear porn. That makes me more uncomfortable than just about anything else going on. We have become a nation of zombies.

Edsl48 one item that I would add to you list that whenever someone stands up for their rights, there are many who would hammer them back into line. Additionally, if someone speaks out that person is ostracized by the many who follow the wrong. Self thought is a dying commodity, especially in the younger generation. They value conformity over free thought.

These were the two big shockers for me. Both have to be a form of insanity.

1. A significant percentage of people thoroughly enjoy being subjugated.
2. ‘The Science’ has evolved into a secular pseudo-religion for millions of people in the West. This religion has little to do with science itself.

I found it amazing the amount of control exerted on almost every facet of our culture.

If you were a doctor that said "Hey, wait a sec." You were canceled. So much for being a highly educated 'trusted' doctor.

Belief in Vaccines - were usurped -

The power of the media to influence the people was astounding.

I don't watch MSM often if at all. It's not a steady diet. Same for 'programs' on the TV. They're literally littered with brief messages reenforcing the MSM mantra. I unavoidably catch 'snippets' of it watching videos here and there, but I know when I'm being hoodwinked.

I had a physical in August and I couldn’t believe how hard my doctor was pushing the jab. She didn’t want to hear anything about the lack of double blind studies or the 30,000 plus deaths reported to VAERS. Her line was “there is no doubt that the vaccine has saved millions of lives.” So of course my blood pressure was sky high and she wants to put me on meds. Measured 113/65 the next morning at home. I like her personally but am completely baffled as to how ignorant she can be of what is going on with the quack vax.

“there is no doubt"

Not in HER mind....

Some Doctors never question the mainstream narrative. I saw a pronounced difference in old Doctors vs young Doctors. Old Doctors were trained with more critical thinking. Young Doctors are trained by a flow chart on a computer.
