Government "cried wolf" over this pandemic. In fact, it keeps doing so. Gotta keep the people riled up and panicked.
But the effect has largely worn off-- the only ones still falling for it are the super-gullible government-supremacists who will always believe "authorities". Of course, there are still way too many of those people among us.
But, even people on the fence are falling off, and more of those are falling toward the "knock it off!" side. At least around here.
I don't even know what the Texas politicians are doing these days.
But, on the New Mexico side of this area, the petty tyrant has declared a new round of lockdowns. She apparently just loves power!
I hope it backfires. Crying "wolf" yet again is going to show even more people that you're a liar who can't be trusted. This is the effect "crying wolf" has, and is the point of the children's tale. I guess she didn't pay attention.
I don't see an end to this if they can keep getting away with it. Fewer will believe them each time, though. Another overreaction, and just about no one with any sense will listen the next time. Hopefully, there won't be a time when there really is a wolf and we ignore the real warning. But it's a price each of us must decide whether we are willing to pay.

I know quite a few people who are terrified by the Kung Flu. They've entirely bought into it. They are usually the ones who had an elderly relative pass away with that diagnosis, and who knows what really killed them? My own parents are in that category, people who knew somebody who died and are terrified. No way I can convince them otherwise, confirmation bias wins the day here. Never underestimate what the public will swallow. I hear the cries of "wolf" - and know them to be false - hopefully more will learn to listen. Keep doing what you're doing. You are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI don't see an end to this until normal people start shooting the government tyrants. They certainly have it coming, and once a few are dispatched, the rest might decide to re-think their tyrannical orders. If something else can convince them, even better, but I don't see that happening.
ReplyDeleteI agree. But of course the media will portray those normal people as abnormal lunatics-- and most people will believe them. That's how it always goes.
