The Covid pandemic was a litmus test
The Covid pandemic was a litmus test.
This was THE moment in several generations to recognize the treacherous signs of groupthink and authoritarianism.
How did you fare?
When history came knocking, telling you that in order to save society you have overturn it, suspend liberties, and fight to suppress the deniers, did you do as instructed?
When everyone you knew, and every news outlet you watched, told you that the sky is falling and that everyone must fall in line, abandon normality, civil rights, and livelihoods, THAT was the most important time in your life to stand up and be independent. Were you?
When a new danger approached, requiring society to work together as one in order to defeat it, did you help pull society together? Or did you, instead, ask whether acting to “pull society together” might in actuality amount to authoritarian bullying, informing and snitching?
The narrative is clear. The science is settled. Not one news story indicates an ounce of skepticism. When the implications of such consensus have unprecedented societal implications, did you dig deeper, examine the evidence yourself, and look for any alternative viewpoints?
This was a test. But it was more than a test.
