Pronouns in bio, Ukranian flag.

Like a retard, I clicked through on both of the tweets.

There is seriously the same hamster-wheel arguing about mask efficacy.

The NPCs responsible for these tweets seriously argue that masking was some scientific breakthrough discovered in 2020. One compares it to the eye-rolling and skepticism that was first delivered upon hand washing.

I'm starting to think there really IS something to the NPC meme- that there is some baseline code that a lot of people run on, and it's starting to break down because of database bloat or something.

To exhaust the zombie meme a bit more, zombies as a literary device (like in movies, rather than from folklore or theology) were originally conceived of as representing the Marxist concept of lumpenproletariat- faceless NPCs. (There was a surprising amount of arrogance in Marxist theory visited upon the lower classes, despite Marxism allegedly despising class.)

Ignore. Them. All. That’s just my personal formula to live free from overlord torment. But if you did that too Chris, then we wouldn’t be treated to your excellent essays. So you should probably ignore what I just said...

Maybe if these NPC's were told to fuck off and die, by everyone the attempted to scold or bully, they might begin to become self aware.

I just want to let you all know that I wear my ear muffs while driving down the road by myself. You never know when a loud noise will happen. Muffs eliminate 94% of harmfull noise and wearing them really isn't that hard. I do this to protect everybody else's hearing. This act of self sacrifice makes me better than all of you dirty probably half deaf people. If we could just get the government to enforce an ear plug mandate then we could eliminate hearing loss but those evil racist right wingers won't let us because they hate children and want minorities to be deaf so they can perpetuate the white supremacist patriarchy in the music industry.

Please wear your hearing protection.

I know you have written—persuasively—that all of this may be a matter of people just quietly rejecting the whole business. The normal people at some point will just shrug it off, walk away, or whatever. And as much as I want to believe that, I get the very strong sense that we're losing. That people, rather than shrugging, are more inclined to go along to get along. And if it's true that "two-thirds of Americans say the nation’s democracy is in danger of collapse," as a Quinnipiac poll found earlier this month, then I suspect that translates—ultimately—to much less liberty and much greater compliance. I don't know. I hope I'm wrong.

Yes. It’s like living in Groundhog Day, only every day they throw in a new disaster on top of the old loop. Everything is fabricated. And it’s all plainly visible. Cursory examination reveals the game. And it’s all to your detriment. And you think you’re going crazy because this shit can’t possibly be real. But it is.

Name one thing these authoritarian creeps have done that’s good for the people who pay their salaries. They are hurting us, in more ways as time goes on. Most of us know the masks are stupid, but it’s “policy”, and “every company has policies”. ( I heard this yesterday from a nurse.) We know something is wrong with Biden, and tranny story hour, and the civilizational self destruction,and the crazy pile of nonsense pushed out every day in the media. And yet, and yet....a lot of people simply don’t want to / can’t deal with reality. So people rationalize,make snarky jokes, and try to hang on. But what are we hanging on to? There’s nothing there. If we had at least an illusion of stability and normalcy before, now that’s been wrenched out of our hands. And many don’t know what to do. They aren’t strong enough.

And they absolutely will be “good Germans” who do bad things if nobody in authority shows them another path. There’s nowhere to run. We aren’t all going to be content living in a hut the Panamanian jungle to hide from the NWO Borg. Speak up. Get involved. The only failure is silently accepting this bullshit from these degenerate bullies who are in charge at the moment.

These folks are some of the most unhappy in the world...they want so badly to control the behaviors of people they cannot, and are willing to sacrifice any shred of credibility in the process. Don't fall for their projections--every single one of them projects their own personal worst traits as being the motivating factor for you awful, clueless folks who dare disagree, demonstrated by yelling outwardly back at the rational, questioning voices in their own head! It's a hard balance to listen to their sky-is-falling drivel, yet realize they are only revealing the thing they know best: themselves.

I actually enjoyed the comments on this one from 2012 - https://japantoday.com/category/features/lifestyle/more-japanese-youth-wearing-surgical-masks-to-hide-their-face

Sounds exactly like 2020, perhaps even 1918.

If anyone truly believes that they really canceled their Ministry of Truth office, I have a bridge for sale.

Don't y'all just love the transhumanist garbage Klaus & Co. are spewing lately? They don't even know if it'll work! They're not even smart enough to be afraid of fooling with AI.

When is Killary Clinton going to be gifted that straight jacket we all wished to see her in after the psychotic comments she made about Gadaffi? I mean, the woman is obviously completely insane and if she says 'wear a mask' you can bet (without research) that it would be detrimental to your health.

As for the other bozos on Twitter - well, what do you expect to see there now that all the independent thinkers have been tossed out? Anyone who still has a Twitter account is a scab.

URBAN DICTIONARY DEFINITION:

scab

Someone willing to take a striking workers job because they couldn't have got the job otherwise. They care about no-one but themselves, have allegiance to no-one, including who they work for, and cannot see long term. They will take almost any abuse from their employer, and don't give a whit about their fellow workers. This is the true makeup of a scab.

"hey scab, who's boots you lickin today?"

How would the world be different if women did not have the right to vote? Asking for a friend.

“midwit”

I admire your magnanimity. Attention whore is much more apt. Thankfully, they self-quarantine in Twitter and are easily ignored, a fate worse than an all expenses paid weekend getaway with Harvey Weinstein.
