I thought "Maybe I AM feeling stable enough to actually contribute and help".
You seem a lot more stable than most of the world right now. And you have many really good insights.
@Mandatory Intellectomy and others, thank you for validating my advice and points to @SOTTREADER , I was afraid how I went too far and just attacking other member cause of my recently foggy state of being.
I didn't fee like anything in your posts was going 'too far'. I myself tried to keep my response as unconfrontational as possible, but I am me, so we all know how well that works, so I was glad that somebody nicer than me weighed in.
I sometimes find myself thinking about @Mandatory Intellectomy being a new, somewhat 'gentler' version of what Anart once stood for in this forum.
WTF, I'm a 'gentler' version of someone? And a girl? Time to commit seppuku.
I think EVERY individual struggle and inner work counts, no matter if a person is connected through their physical interaction or via internet with others alike. Sorry but it makes no sense.
I agree, but I think your interpretation of what Ant22 said is probably taking her words too far. I don't think she meant that any one person is powerless. Just that a group is way more effective. (But she might want to clarify.)
But it's maybe not so much about what one person
can achieve. It just might be that some people will want to take extreme measures for their own sake.
I for one have no intention whatsoever to take any fukking vaccine. Can't travel? Fine. I'm a 90% hikikomori anyway. Can't keep my job? Well, up yours, government. I'm not gonna be your obedient slave and let you inject me with poison just so I can 'have a job'. I'll find a way to live without one. Or die trying.
What if it gets more extreme? Can't buy food in supermarkets without a vaccine? Well, that would be really extreme, but if that happens, I'll still refuse, and I'm ready to starve to death as a form of protest, but mainly just as a matter of principle. Somebody has to show these dipshits that some people can't be bought no matter what. I'm sure it will bring me no good results, but that's not the point. If I die because supermarkets didn't sell me food because I refused a vaccine, the society will have to deal with that.
It's one thing for people to hear they need a vaccine to buy food and decide that everyone really needs a vaccine, and it's another thing for them to hear that somebody starved to death because they refused a vaccine and the government just lets such people die because they don't give a shit about unvaccinated people. These messages need to exist, if not to achieve anything obvious, then to at least exist in people's consciousness. Remember that guy in front of the tank in China? It doesn't matter whether he achieved anything on that day. What matters is that people saw it.
But ultimately the real point for me is a warrior's impeccability. I'll refuse the vaccine as a matter of principle because for me that's the right thing to do, and whatever happens happens. A part of a warrior's strategy is non-attachment to the outcome, and it doesn't matter to me what I'll achieve with my actions, if anything. What matters is that to me, my actions were right.
But that's me. I can afford to do that. It won't affect anybody else much. But when I think about my brother, I don't think he has that option. If he loses his job, how will he feed his wife and three little hungry demons? Even with my mindset, I can't see how I could make the same decision in his place. I would more likely look for workarounds and delay tactics.
Now, I really don't think anyone will be forced directly to take the vaccine. If they try to force-vaccinate those who really don't want to, there will be deaths and a shit ton of trouble because ultimately this will definitely not be legal, no matter what idiots on TV tell you.
If you feel under direct
pressure to take the vaccine, you have many options.
- Ask your doctor to give you a full list of possible side effects (not just some propaganda pamphlet made for the public - the real thing that comes with the vaccines but you probably never see) and talk about that as a reason you don't want to take that shit. Ask the doctor how sane he/she thinks it is to inject oneself with viruses (which cause disease) and toxic metals (which cause disease) in order to 'prevent disease', when even the manufacturer admits the side effects include a few dozen diseases?
- Ask the doctor if he/she will take responsibility if you suffer any damage. If not, how can he/she force you to take it? If yes (fat chance), demand that in writing. (Never gonna happen.)
- Point out the safety/efficiency issues and all the unknowns, and tell the doctor you're not a fukking lab rat. ("I am a human being, god damn it! My life has value!")
There are many books on vaccination that explain all this in much detail.
When it comes to indirect forcing, i.e. 'you can't do things without a vaccine', this will be different for everyone. It will depend on your country, your city, your job, your family situation, and many other things.
First of all,
question, argue, delay. Demand studies about safety (they don't exist), ask who takes responsibility for possible damage (nobody does, so how is this not a crime?), insist that you'd rather take the 0.1% chance you'll get a coronavirus with 0.01% chance that you will die from it, than take a 10% chance the vaccine will give you some kind of illness. Make everyone involved feel as bad as possible about wanting to inject you with poison against your will. It's not the doctors' fault, but they do have some personal responsibility as well. Let's remember that "I was just following orders" is one of the lamest excuses ever.
They will never be able to vaccinate
everyone, for many reasons. There will be a full blown apocalypse before that happens. So just hold your ground until then. Losing your job is not the worst that can happen to you. Maybe you can find a different job that doesn't require a vaccine. (I think at this point we're way past your 'career' having any value. A job that pays half of what your current job does might be better than being injected with experimental poison.) The world is not all psychopaths, so maybe you can make some kind of a deal with someone somewhere. Nobody knows where to get a fake vaccine pass now, but such things will exist when it becomes relevant. There are always options. And I think time is on our side, because the PTB are running out of it.
In the meantime, stay calm and focus on your daily life and whatever needs to be taken care of. Plan for whatever you reasonably can, but don't get obsessed with this. Keep your mind in a positive state, not in fear. Don't worry about things that aren't happening today or tomorrow. You're not getting vaccinated next week, are you? We're not there yet! And changes are about to come. Have some fkn faith in a universe that's a billion times smarter than you are!
