ZUBY'S PANDEMIC LESSONS

[Simonbob]

I first saw this on the Lotuseaters Channel.

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.

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.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021

2/ At least 20% of the population has strong authoritarian tendencies, which will emerge under the right conditions.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021

That means 1 in five people is an authoritarian a-hole.

Keep going.

3/ Fear of death is only rivalled by the fear of social disapproval. The latter could be stronger.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021

People seek approval and to be liked.

It became painfully obvious this past 15 months.

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.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021

trending

• 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'

Yup.

6/ Many politicians and large corporations will gladly sacrifice human lives if it is conducive to their political and financial aspirations.
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021

This. ^^^

See Democrats shutting down entire states including businesses and schools.

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

This religion has little to do with science itself.

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).
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2021

This is beyond bad.

In so many ways.

Whilst some of these are fair points, the rest are chronically liberal misunderstandings of the general public. The teeming masses are really rather busy with their day to day lives and feeding their families, so matters of state are many orders of magnitude down their list importance. They will do what they feel is necessary to attend to this business as smoothly as possible, even if it involves keeping their true feelings to themselves and doing things they may not necessarily agree with (The Yougov polls lie, or are morally weighted. Lockdown is viewed as a necessary evil to be dispensed with at the earliest opportunity, at best).

A brutal truth many need to face is that "bottom up history" is a lie and the public have been relatively passive actors for the vast majority of their history, as is entirely sensible for their position. They are followers, not leaders, so they never presume to command. The most common error of liberals is a failure to understand that the pareto principle applies to power as well. There will always be kings, and unfortunately our current "kings" have had their minds poisoned with social engineering nonsense (courtesy of the liberal right allowing the schools to fall to communists right under their noses) and until we have a paradigm shift, they are the ones we're stuck with.

I remember hearing that between one to two thirds of all people in every nation was effectively, or outright, a slave, up until about 400 years ago.

That would have immense effects on our genetics.

Genetics doesn't play too much of a role. There are those who rule, and those who don't.

 

[Simonbob]

Uh huh.

Why do they rule, exactly? Sure, part of it is that they want it, and reach out to take it. But..... there is evidence that your parents personality traits are likely to be similar to yours.

Genes matter. Anybody who ignores that, is being foolish.

 

[Lord Sovereign]

Uh huh.

Why do they rule, exactly?

Because they have wealth and power, likely passed down through family lines or, occasionally, off their own initiative. For most of history noble title came from the fact your Norman great granddad took it with a sword at some point.

Some elements of the right have a rather unhealthy interest in genetics, I find.

I just hate that nobody seems to even want to admit they exist.

Unfortunately, the subject is completely toxic as we live in a deeply polarised time. It's either, "biology doesn't exist" or "genetics prove the n'words are inferior, so we must legislate based on it."

 

[Simonbob]

Unfortunately, the subject is completely toxic as we live in a deeply polarised time. It's either, "biology doesn't exist" or "genetics prove the n'words are inferior, so we must legislate based on it."

And both are bullshit.

That's why we lose. We can't even speak basic truth.


'Sigh'

I'm back to finding people who can reverse the infiltration of our education system as our only chance of avoiding disaster.

 

[Lord Sovereign]

That's why we lose. We can't even speak basic truth.

You can. You do have to make a lot of noise over what you actually mean and what your intentions are with this information, whilst also making it clear you've nothing in common with the extreme ends of the argument. It's a lot to do, but if the topic is to be discussed fairly, then it has to be done.
