Six myths my list of anti-lockdown “freedom warriors” who began Covid agitating for top-down authoritarianism helps dispel
This list of anti-lockdown “freedom warriors” who began Covid agitating for top-down authoritarianism helps dispel a variety of mistaken notions.
(1) “There was no mass hysteria.”
Some bizarrely insist they saw no mass hysteria. Uh, even your favorite Team Reality members were part of the hysteria at the start, so imagine what everyone else was doing!
(2) “The COVID Debacle was entirely orchestrated top-down by elites, a Plandemic.”
Then why did even the anti-lockdown freedom leaders begin as Covid freaks even while governments were pushing calm? They were loud portions of the bottom-up forces that arm-twisted governments into doing their top-down mandates.
(3) “The COVID authoritarianism was done by bad-intentioned people.”
Were your freedom warriors bad intentioned before they “woke up”? No. They were well-intentioned, like everyone else. That’s irrelevant for societal level evil.
(4) “Those who did this to us were sociopaths.”
Your Team Reality folks, and everyone who pushed for Covid interventions were smart, rational people. …individually. But were in a groupthink.
(5) “Caring about freedom protects us from authoritarianism.”
No. Even folks who define themselves as lovers and defenders of freedom fell.
(6) “We will remember and punish those who did this.”
We forgot so quickly and so badly that we immediately allowed our “freedom warriors” to be populated by those who had, weeks before, been responsible for their part in bringing top-down authoritarianism upon us.
