More Than Brainwashing

Your friends and family gave you up for a lie.

It’s hard to fully grasp with all the news of negative efficacy (increased risk of omicron infection) from vaccinations and the lack of efficacy of masks pouring into the mainstream almost hourly, but in fact, most of the people who wore masks and who were avid vaccine experiment participants have walled themselves into such an echo chamber they will never hear it. Even if Lord Fauci himself stood on a hill top and proclaimed their efforts were all utterly useless and harmful, these people would convince themselves he didn’t mean what he was saying, he didn’t know what he was saying, that he was talking about someone else or some other unlikely fairytale. At last resort, they’d “accidentally” shove him off that mountain.

All this time you convinced yourself those people eliminated you and others from their lives because they were terrified you were going to kill them with your cooties. I am not so convinced.

I am of the belief they knew the real threat they were running from was an imminent intellectual threat. They were terrified you’d give them something that would change their minds. That’s far more likely than catching death from a disease which they had to search for months desperately to find someone they associated with who was remotely afflicted so they could claim direct “harm.” They were most afraid you would turn them into you: a weirdo, an outcast, a social leper, unchaste and unclean in the eyes of their new found social club.

It may seem as though there’s no way anyone can still believe one has protection from disease conferred from these shots. Yet, I have a feeling vaccinated people are nevertheless surprised with each new positive case that this could happen to them, and simultaneously, perfectly accepting of whatever happens to them despite or in result of these shots. Seriously. They won’t believe they can still catch Covid after vaccination, assuming such an event is shocking and rare. Yet, as long as their illness isn’t too terrible and they haven’t had a horrible side effect, they’ll make a beeline for another booster as one comes available. Also notice how when they do contract it, they publicize that fact as if it incriminates people who refused the shots. They wouldn’t dare risk the anguish of considering the shots are a charade much less admission that this whole pandemic has been a charade.

You weren’t discarded to save a life. You were discarded to protect a lie. It’s a lie they are somewhat knowingly telling themselves. I don’t think they really want to grasp what the lie is. It helps them if you don’t make them think too much about it. Having you around, even if you say nothing, knowing you know something that might make them question their reality, makes them kind of wish you’d catch Covid and die from it. It sounds awful, but for them, it sounds awful comforting that you were wrong, they were right and the lie stays in tact.

Many like you are running around blaming the government, the media and the various health agencies and medical professionals who brainwashed their family and friends to give them up over fear of a fake pandemic (regardless of whether or not the disease in question was real). I am sad to say, human psychology indicates otherwise.

Yes, a lot of people were scared, even terrified. But, I think a lot of people wanted to be scared, to be part of the collective cult of fear wherein fanatical rage and frenzy were the inductions into their special cootie club. There was a way to be part of the popular group in school. It wasn’t always moral or intellectual. People just did it anyway in an effort in some cases to survive ostracism which humans instinctually equate with death.

After 9/11, the public similarly came together in a unique way to heal and feel a sense of belonging to something bigger than themselves. Tragedy and shared victimhood were equated with a strong sense of nationalism and pride. What many still struggle with to this day is admitting how much of those feelings might have been based in part on a lie. When asked to even consider the most benign evidence, they still protest and often change the subject to avoid acknowledging the lie.

My husband likes to ask people, “if I gave you sufficient evidence of something, would you be willing to change your mind?” You would be surprised how many people are forthright in saying plainly, “no.” This practice can save you lots of time trying to convince the inconvincible.

What I am getting at ultimately here is a really liberating thought. I like liberating thoughts. If you want to believe that the people in your life who dismissed you, uninvited you to holiday dinners, snubbed or shunned you were merely brainwashed and might still come around eventually to apologize once they realize the truth with new information coming out every day, I have a bit of news for you. It might not be the news you want, but I think it’s the news you need. You could be looking back for a long time waiting and hoping, feeling dejected, trying to forgive people who never apologized and more importantly, who never will. There will be a new club with just as much intellectual dishonesty created for the defectors of the old club, and you still won’t be in it.

Absorb this: they aren’t going to come around. When and if they get close to making any big discoveries, chances are, you will be the last person with whom they share said discoveries. Also, as they get closer to truth, they will get a lot more ugly. You really don’t want to be there when or if they start to realize their world as they wanted to know it came to an end. A lot of what people do in these situations looks like grief. You’re likely the first to be assigned the blame for their world turning upside down. “Kill the messenger.”

They want you to move on. Get it, yet?

However, if they, by some remote chance, do figure everything out, and you have moved on, they will come find you. At that point, they will be able to acknowledge the wrong they did you and understand your distancing yourself as a direct consequence of their behavior toward you. That’s on them to rectify, not you.

Most of all, for now, they know deep down you know something they don’t want to know, and they made their peace with interpreting that as not wanting you.

My final question is this: when will you make yours?
