I have been continually amazed at my fellow citizens' willingness to believe in the existence of a ebola-level pandemic. Even though, if they were to honestly evaluate their day-to-day life over the past two years they should come to another conclusion...? I think these people would be prepared to continue to have hysterics about a cold, supplemented by faked statistics and biased reporting - probably for years.

We need to stand up and make our voices heard. The political class has every reason not to back down, but to keep pushing hard. Vaccine mandates, monthly boosters, lockdowns, quarantine camps, whatever it takes to keep control of the narrative and stay in power.

And the police in Germany cannot deal with hundreds of large and small protests occurring simultaneously on Mondays at 18:00 all over the country (thank you Saxony!). The protests are getting larger every week. It is truly invigorating to meet so many like-minded people from all walks of life.

Omicron has been almost like a blessing, as it truly is the end of the pandemic as a dangerous virus

On the other hand, containment hysteria continue unabated; and it seems most intensely in the places that least require it.

Schools? Universities? I never realized how much administrators actually hate young people; how they justify the imprisonment and misery just to pay homage to a virus which is harmless to the young. My kids are now in the state of mind that school is where they go to experience bullshit; they are not even 10 years old. They have said as much, and have lost respect for the institution. I have mixed feelings about this.

More travel measures. More testing. More masks. More more more. I'm slowly resigned to constructing my life in such a way that I no longer interact with the most corona-ed areas of society because this is going to be a long term thing. How, and why, many a dozen people who self-identify as "experts" because they have the right degrees and so called credentials are able to continue to exert such a power over the world, baffles me to no end, but then again, High Priests of all religions command great power - the Why is not relevant. There can be untold death and misery and somehow that cements their power rather than destroys it.

As for pushing back- this substack and a handful of others are where I go to get my daily dose of humanity and reason. I continue to try and do my part to resist all the insanity - but from time to time I wonder if it would just be easier to "drink from the crazy river" and to stop trying to scream at a hurricane
