COVID Vaccine Showstopper CONFIRMED: Antibody-Dependent Enhancement – DO. NOT. TAKE. THE. VACCINE.

“You’re expecting the average person to realize how absurd this is without having someone actually point it out to them first. (At which point they smack their heads or, being unwilling to admit they had been stupid, double down.)”

__________

I suspect it’s probably hard to have a sense of humor without being able to recognize the absurd.

Which would explain why so many Leftists are humorless tools, and why so many comedians have given up on college tours.

The virtue of demonstrating to others that you’re offended by something has supplanted any appreciation for the absurd which is central to much humor.

For example, they can’t see what’s funny about Spanky and Our Gang, because they’re fixated on Buckwheat’s plight as a black child being exploited by (fill in the blank).

.

“It’s not so much that they engage in double think–George Orwell defined that as holding two contradictory opinions simultaneously–but rather that they hold those contradictory opinions (vax is supposed to protect you from the disease vs. unvaccinated are a danger to the vaccinated) serially depending on what they last saw on the boob tube.”

They sound like idiots, as described.

And that’s what is so frustrating, because a lot of the people taken by everything that is going on aren’t idiots.

But they’re behaving as if they are idiots, which seems to indicate that some kind of mass social psychology is deeply involved here.

Almost like a magician’s trick, like the way Wolf described it the other day, with the “prestige”, and the ‘turn’, etc.

But with a magician’s trick, at some level, the audience has to want to be fooled.

That wouldn’t seem to be in play here, but it almost has to be, otherwise what is the substitute explanation?

And how is it that a significant percentage of the population (though less than a majority) seem able to see through the ‘tricks’ routinely, while the others are either taken in by the trick… or don’t even recognize that a magician is performing?

It’s a fascinating thing to experience all of this.

I remember learning about the Holocaust in 7th grade social studies, and I remember having difficulty understanding how normal people could have allowed it to happen.

Because I couldn’t imagine the people in my world at that time allowing any such thing to happen.

The information was presented as a series of events, i.e., this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened, etc., without ever discussing the absurdity of it all, or how normal, rational people could simply ‘go along’ with it.

And as I have thought many times over the past year and a half, now I know, because I am seeing something similar with my own eyes.

I still don’t know the ‘why’ or the ‘how’, but I am seeing what appears to be a massive, intentional blind spot in the majority of people, to what is going on all around us (and them).

And I have had the same thoughts regarding many Bible passages that have occurred to me over the past year and a half, as I had in social studies in 7th grade.

There are passages in the Bible about groups of people doing things which sometimes don’t make much sense. Before China Virus, those passages registered as an oddity, but without any further context or personal experience to understand them better, I was kind of stuck.

I have seen things over the past year and a half that made some of those Bible observations come unstuck. As above, I still don’t understand the ‘why’ or the ‘how’, but I can relate now in a way that was only abstract before, because I have seen things now that are similar enough to provide context.

Both personally and with regard to the population as a whole.

Like prophets, as an example.

It seems like hardly anyone ever believed the prophets in Scripture. As a reader, it’s hard to understand why no one ever seemed to believe them. Were they nuts? Were they stupid?

Were they idiots?

But that’s largely because we have the perspective of reading about it in God’s Word, so the reader (whether a believer or not) is automatically biased in favor of the prophet. We know the prophet is speaking the truth to the people, because we are provided the context. We know how the story turns out.

But the people who heard the prophets didn’t have that context. Well they did, because if they were familiar with the Scriptures, then they would have recognized many things which they don’t appear to have recognized, but I don’t know if the common man was anywhere near as familiar with the Scriptures as the scribes and religious leaders would have been.

But even the scribes and religious leaders were frequently blind, without ‘ears to hear’ or ‘eyes to see’.

Even the concept of ‘not having ears to hear, or eyes to see’ is somewhat difficult, until you see it happen with your own eyes.

Not that we’re prophets, but in various ways, I’m sure most of us have experienced not being believed by other people in our lives, with regard to current events. Repeatedly.

And when you try to speak to friends and family members about any aspect of what is going on (Covid, the stolen election, all of it), it’s almost as if they have to have some prior knowledge and interest, or they just can’t ‘see’ it. It gives one a whole new appreciation, if only in a small way, for what it was like for certain characters in the Bible, when most people would simply turn away and not hear them.

Or during WWII, when no one wanted to believe what Hitler and the Nazis were doing with the concentration camps.

The events in the Bible and the events of WWII are separated by nearly 2,000 years (and more), but there are similarities in how societies react to warnings, and not wanting to connect obvious dots in order to see how things are going to turn out very badly. It’s something about human nature, or the human condition, which is common throughout time.

There is no new thing under the sun.

We are seeing things, with regard to society as a whole and what appears to be mass irrational reactions to events, which may not be common in human experience, but apparently it’s not rare, either.

It just seems extremely weird to us, because we are experiencing it for the first time, at least on such a giant scale.

But some people have seen many of these things before, and do recognize them.

Singingsoul often brings to our attention that she is familiar with certain Marxist tactics and how they are meant to affect us, because she has experienced them, or she has learned about them from her parents.

So she has an insight to some of these things, that the rest of us are experiencing more or less for the first time.

The people who are attracted to forums like this one are actively trying to process and understand and work through what is going on all around us, and that is notably different from the population at large.

Many people don’t seem to understand that there is anything of an intentional design going on which even needs to be understood or processed.

It’s a very strange and interesting time we are living in.

I was about to say you guys have no idea how glad I am to have found other people who are seeing and trying to understand these same things…

But of course you do have an ‘idea’, you all know exactly what I mean.

Because you’re here too 👍😂

Thanks for being here, Gang at Cheers! 👍😎😁
