Totalitarian movements, when they reach this stage, do not simply stop on their own. The "Unvaccinated" Question.

Excerpt:
"In the USA, we are being banned by universities. Our children are being banned from public schools. In New York, the new “Excelsior Pass” will allow New Normals to attend cultural and sports events (and patronize bars and restaurants, eventually) secure in the knowledge that the Unvaccinated have been prevented from entering or segregated in an “Unvaccinated Only” section. The pass system, designed by IBM, which, if history is any guide, is pretty good at designing such systems (OK, technically, it was Deutsche Hollerith Maschinen Gesellschaft, IBM’s Nazi-Germany subsidiary), was launched this past weekend to considerable fanfare.

And this is only the very beginning.

The issue, at the moment, is the Unvaccinated Question, and the public rituals that are being performed to make the New Normal ideology “reality,” and what to do about those of us who refuse to participate in those rituals, who refuse to forswear “old normal” reality and convert to New Normalism so that we can function in society without being segregated, criminalized, or “diagnosed” as “sociopathic” or otherwise psychiatrically disordered.

For us “conspiracy-theorizing reality deniers,” there is no getting around this dilemma. This isn’t Europe in the 1930s. There isn’t anywhere to emigrate to … OK, there is, temporarily, in some of the US states that have been staging rebellions, and other such “old normal” oases, but how long do you think that will last? They’re already rolling out the “mutant variants,” and God only knows what will happen when the long-term effects of the “vaccines” kick in.

No, for most of us denizens of the global capitalist empire, it looks like the New Normal is here to stay. So, unless we are prepared to become New Normals, we are going to have to stand and fight. It is going to get rather ugly, and personal, but there isn’t any way to avoid that. Given that many New Normals are our friends and colleagues, or even members of our families, it is tempting to believe that they will “come to their senses,” that “this is all just a hysterical overreaction,” and that “everything will go back to normal soon.”

This would be a monumental error on our parts … very possibly a fatal error.

Totalitarian movements, when they reach this stage, do not simply stop on their own. They continue to advance toward their full expressions, ultimately transforming entire societies into monstrous mirror-images of themselves, unless they are opposed by serious resistance. There is a window at the beginning when such resistance has a chance. That window is still open, but it is closing, fast. I can’t tell you how best to resist, but I can tell you it starts with seeing things clearly, and calling things, and people, exactly what they are.

Let’s not make the same mistake that other minorities have made throughout history when confronted with a new totalitarian ideology. See the New Normals for what they are, maybe not deep down in their hearts, but what they have collectively become a part of, because it is the movement that is in control now, not the rational individuals they used to be. Above all, recognize where this is headed, where totalitarian movements are always headed. (See. e.g., Milton Mayer’s They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45.)

No, the Unvaccinated are not the Jews and the New Normals are not flying big Swastika flags, but totalitarianism is totalitarianism, regardless of which Goebbelsian Big Lies, and ideology, and official enemies it is selling. The historical context and costumes change, but its ruthless trajectory remains the same.

Today, the New Normals are presenting us with a “choice,” (a) conform to their New Normal ideology or (b) social segregation. What do you imagine they have planned for us tomorrow?"

    It seems to me that if your body already has immunity and has fought off coronovirus on its own alrady, there is no reason to use some foreign substance to try and create immunity.

    I never wear it outside of private establishments. I think that a proprietor can specify behavioral requirements within HIS establishment. I can choose to NOT patronize his business if I want. Before masks were required everywhere, Costco on their own required masks, and I simply didnt go to costco.

    Interesting that they want to require covid vaccinations, but no vaccinations for other diseases. What about the influenza vaccine, or the pneumonia vaccine, or what about keeping HIV positive people from flying, going to restaurants, hotels, etc. HIV is a lot more potent than coronavirus.

    I recently had a face-to-face(!!) appointment with my Doc. He recommended the Covid shots and I reminded him that our whole family had survived a bout of Covid in October, and immunizations have been around for a hundred years, but getting your own natural immunity has worked well for millions of years. In addition, my daughter is studying Bio-Engineering at a (fairly conservative) southern university and has had three professors warn her not to take the relatively untested vaccines.

    "bio-hazard symbol patch": Right. I wonder if it will look like the six-pointed star patches some people were forced to wear in Germany in the '30's.

    Let me guess. Those that get jabbed will have the privilege of getting an official state passport card or really cool looking icon on their cell phones and those that refuse the jab must wear a bio-hazard symbol patch sewn to their outer garment.
