ZUBY'S PANDEMIC LESSONS
It's scary. It also is making me reflect, apon my own limits.
I seriously suggest looking. It tells us all many things that affect our opinions, in this World.
That means 1 in five people is an authoritarian a-hole.
Keep going.
People seek approval and to be liked.
It became painfully obvious this past 15 months.
Nope.

This. ^^^
See Democrats shutting down entire states including businesses and schools.
The training and conditioning part has been the most distressing.
Demand it.
Yup.
That’s so effed up.
Seriously.
This religion has little to do with science itself.
This is beyond bad.
In so many ways.

20 Things I've Learned (Or Had Confirmed) About Humanity During The 'Pandemic' (THREAD):
1/ Most people would rather be in the majority, than be right.

2/ At least 20% of the population has strong authoritarian tendencies, which will emerge under the right conditions.

3/ Fear of death is only rivalled by the fear of social disapproval. The latter could be stronger.

People seek approval and to be liked.

4/ Propaganda is just as effective in the modern day as it was 100 years ago. Access to limitless information has not made the average person any wiser.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
Nope.
5/ Anything and everything can and will be politicised by the media, government, and those who trust them.

- Joy Reid says those 'radicalized parent activists' who are 'targeting school boards' are tied up with QAnon
- Iowahawk shares what 'appears to be the most accurate state map infographic ever produced'
6/ Many politicians and large corporations will gladly sacrifice human lives if it is conducive to their political and financial aspirations.

8/ Once they have made up their mind, most people would rather to commit to being wrong, than admit they were wrong.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
9/ Humans can be trained and conditioned quickly and relatively easily to significantly alter their behaviours – for better or worse.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
The training and conditioning part has been the most distressing.
10/ When sufficiently frightened, most people will not only accept authoritarianism, but demand it.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
Demand it.
Yup.
11/ People who are dismissed as 'conspiracy theorists' are often well researched and simply ahead of the mainstream narrative.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
12/ Most people value safety and security more than freedom and liberty, even if said 'safety' is merely an illusion.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
13/ Hedonic adaptation occurs in both directions, and once inertia sets in, it is difficult to get people back to 'normal'.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
14/ A significant % of people thoroughly enjoy being subjugated.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
That’s so effed up.
Seriously.
15/ 'The Science' has evolved into a secular pseudo-religion for millions of people in the West. This religion has little to do with science itself.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021

16/ Most people care more about looking like they are doing the right thing, rather than actually doing the right thing.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
17/ Politics, the media, science, and the healthcare industries are all corrupt, to varying degrees. Scientists and doctors can be bought as easily as politicians.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
18/ If you make people comfortable enough, they will not revolt. You can keep millions docile as you strip their rights, by giving them money, food, and entertainment.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
19/ Modern people are overly complacent and lack vigilance when it comes to defending their own freedoms from government overreach.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
20/ It's easier to fool a person than to convince them that they have been fooled.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021
Bonus thought:
21/ Most people are fairly compassionate and have good intentions (this is good)
As a result, most people deeply struggle to understand that some people, including our 'leaders', CAN have malicious or perverse intentions (this is bad).
