I do like PJW. Being the sarcastic type myself. Had a long chat with an ex-pat Pom in the pool this morning. "1 in 50 have got Covid in the UK". Nice chap, worldly, accepts the narrative without question. Waste of time trying to get a few facts out there.
Most likely, but living under tyranny is a waste of all your time, and will probably take your life.
That is then definitely all your time wasted, destroyed.
There is no other option when it comes to reclaiming your time on this planet for yourself.
If we are going down, go with your sanity , happy in the knowledge you did not support or remain neutral to evil.
Silence is consent. Confront him with his brainwashed status and help him out.
You do him no favours, or yourself, in remaining silent.
I'm not having a go at you, just giving you my reasoning, I fully understand the hopelessness of it, I'm surrounded with insanity every day as we all are.
That's why there is no free to air here anymore, except for Sky.
And I too have stayed quiet in the presence of the severely brainwashed.
It appears hopeless and some of them are good friends, very nice people who I know would do anything for me, and often have, but I feel I am now not going to be a real friend to them unless I stand by my own reasoning.
So I am now using the "questioning tactic with them"
The questioning approach is what I used often as a tour driver.
You can't tell your tourists they are dickheads so you must get them to tell you.
"Oh yes, I've heard it's bad in Victoria, ..... how many of those cases died?"
"Is the test accurate, who makes the test kits?"
But to those I can be straight forward with,.....
I'm the type who goes into Bunnings and upon seeing the two social distanced lanes on the entry, yet they keep the poor prick made to meet all the deadly covid sufferers at the front to say Hi, and exclaim, bugger me, still alive with all these people passing you, how can you seriously be still playing along with this shit?
Meek smiles follow, nothing changes.
Will I stop.
No.
I well know, from years of watching Hi Viz Australia that the entire country is filled with the most compliant people on earth.
I expect no win.
I just maintain my integrity and sanity.
Grumpy old man stuff, but it is my duty as I see it. At 54, I'm not too old, but still a senior person who has a civic duty.
But so do we all.
There's too many like Frank's freaks, and hysterical Notafan Karens, on the right to fight back yet and the longer we leave it the harder and more deadlier it will be.
It has been hard for me at the start, because I had no one around me except for Mrs Struth, and a few Truckie mates I wasn't allowed to see, who agreed with me.
I felt the world had gone insane, and it had.
But now some people are coming back to me and our friendships are deeper than they have ever been.
They want to be on my side and be seen to be doing so.
Mrs Struth's Cousins are coming around tonight, and although I haven't seen them since BC (before Coup d'etat), they live in Emerald, I know one of them has broken ranks and openly agreed with me on facebook. I look forward to tonight and being surrounded by sanity.
There will be more now.
The physical deprivations may (will) get worse, but there are enough awake now around me, enough sanity, that I can now cope.
